Suge Knight Hit-and-Run Triggered by Beef With Dr. Dre

Suge Knight was in Compton to end his beef with Dr. Dre, before the fatal hit-and-run that put him behind bars on suspicion of murder.

According to TMZ:

Suge Knight  was lured into a trip to the Compton set that turned fatal, and the mission was to broker a peace accord between Suge and longtime rival Dr. Dre … this according to sources connected to Suge.

Shortly before the collision, Suge had gone to another location where the commercial for “Straight Outta Compton” was being shot and got into a physical push and shove with Dr. Dre’s security. Some off-duty officers saw the altercation and ordered Suge to leave.

Our Suge sources say a short time later Terry Carter called Suge and said he had contacted Dre and was told to bring Suge by the next location where they could work out their problems. Suge says he took Carter up on the offer, believing it would be a peaceful meeting, but when he arrived he got jumped before he even got out of his truck.

As we first reported … it all ended with Suge running over Terry’s head, killing him. Suge is now in a downtown L.A. jail after being arrested for murder. His bail is set at $2 million.

As you probably know, Dre and Suge owned Death Row Records but their partnership blew apart and Dre left the business and went to Interscope.

Suge’s people say they can easily prove Terry called Suge but obviously there’s only one person now who can recount the conversation.
