Death Row Records founder Marion "Suge" Knight Accidentally Kill A Man In HIT-AND-RUN
Knight, 49, planned to turn himself in to authorities and "we are confident that once the investigation is completed, he will be totally exonerated," attorney James Blatt said by telephone.
A red pickup truck struck the men at around 3 p.m. PST in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant in the Los Angeles-area city of Compton and then took off, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. John Corina told reporters. He said the incident is being investigated as a homicide.
"Looks like he drove backwards and struck the victims and drove forwards and struck them again," Corina said.
"The people we talked to say it looked like it was an intentional act," he said.
A 55-year-old man died at a hospital and a 51-year-old man was injured but Corina did not immediately know his condition.
The empty truck was found late Thursday night in a West Los Angeles parking lot, Corina said.
Corina said investigators didn't have any witnesses who said Knight was driving it, but the rap mogul was seen driving a red pickup truck 20 minutes earlier in a different part of town where a video was being shot
Knight got into some kind of argument at the earlier location and drove off, he said.
Witnesses said another argument developed at the restaurant parking lot before the accident, Corina.
Blatt said it was an accident.
"He was in the process of being physically assaulted by two men and in an effort to escape he unfortunately hit two (other) individuals," the lawyer said. "He was in his car trying to escape."
