Suge Knight Being Investigated in Fatal Hit-and-Run on Compton Video Set

A video shoot in Compton turned deadly today.

The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department is investigating the possible involvement of Death Row Records co-founder Marion "Suge" Knight in a fatal traffic accident Thursday afternoon, NBC News reports.

No further details have been released, but law enforcement sources told NBC that they had heard Knight was either a passenger or the driver of a car involved in the incident in question.

According to TMZ, who first reported the news, Knight was visiting the set where The Game, Ice Cube and Dr. Dre were shooting a commercial for Game's Documentary 2 when Knight supposedly got into a confrontation with a crew member.

TMZ was told that Knight then got behind the wheel, put his car in reverse and hit a bystander, after which he left the scene.

The 49-year-old has had his fair share of run-ins with the law recently.

Knight was one of three people wounded during an early morning shooting at West Hollywood nightclub 1Oak in August during a pre-MTV Video Music Awards party hosted by Chris Brown. He was treated for his injury at a hospital, where he underwent surgery. It was unclear if Suge was the target.

Meanwhile, in October, Knight and comedian Micah "Katt" Williams were arrested and charged with robbery for allegedly stealing a paparazzo's camera outside a Beverly Hills studio. Knight pleaded not guilty to robbery and was ordered into custody in lieu of $500,000 bail.

  A little less than two weeks after Will Smith   slapped Chris Rock onstage at the 2022 Oscars, the Academy has decided to ban the actor from "any events or programs, in person or virtually, including but not limited to the Academy Awards" for 10 years.   The move comes after board members from the Academy held a meeting on April 8 to determine what disciplinary action would be taken against the actor in the wake of the March 27 show. In a statement obtained by E! News, Academy President  David Rubin  and CEO  Dawn Hudson  stated in part, "During our telecast, we did not adequately address the situation in the room. For this, we are sorry. This was an opportunity for us to set an example for our guests, viewers and our Academy family around the world, and we fell short—unprepared for the unprecedented." "This action we are taking today in response to Will Smith's behavior is a step toward a larger goal of protecting the s...

It's been four months and five days since Mila Kunis gave birth to Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher. "But who's counting?" she asked on TBS' Conan Wednesday. The Jupiter Ascending actress, 31, said life got better after welcoming a daughter with Ashton Kutcher. "It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. I've said this and I stand by it," she said. "It is great." Conan O'Brien agreed with Mila's stance, though he was a bit distracted by her chest. "I saw a red carpet picture of you and it looked like Channing Tatum was staring at...because there are changes that the body goes through, and it looks like he's busted for staring at your breasts," the late-night host said. After a picture of Mila and her co-star appeared onscreen, she said, "Hold on! That's awful. Here's the thing...I swear! I know him and I love him. He really wasn't. But, boy, do these things grow! I don'...
