LOS ANGELES, (Reuters) – Rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight was arrested for murder yesterday in connection with a hit-and-run accident that killed one person near Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said.
He was booked at about 3 a.m. (1100 GMT) and is being held in lieu of $2 million bail, the department said.
Around 3 p.m. (2300 GMT) on Thursday, a man fitting Knight’s description drove up to a burger shop in Compton and began arguing with two people outside, said Lieutenant John Corina, with Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
