Ever since news broke that Suge Knight killed a man during a hit-and-run, there have been reports footage of the incident was captured on video. TMZ has now obtained a copy of the surveillance video showing Knight running down Terry Carter and Cle “Bone” Sloan.
Suge’s initial attorney for the case, David Kenner, stated publicly that he believed the footage would prove his client was “ambushed” before the incident took place. The video released by TMZ does show a man allegedly identified as Sloan approaching Suge’s truck before being hit by the vehicle.
Sloan was injured from the hit-and-run, and Carter was killed. Knight is now facing a murder charge. The founder of Death Row Records has since fired his attorneys and has also battled serious health conditions.
Police still believe the footage confirms Knight could have escaped the situation without hitting Sloan. According to TMZ, Carter’s family asked the site to post the video.
“The Carter family is pleased you are releasing the video so the public can see what actually occurred and not be forced to speculate based on third party descriptions of the video,” said the family’s lawyer Gary Dordick.
