Suge Knight may never have a free day out of prison. MStars News has learned that the former record label CEO got into a fight on the set of the N.W.A. film project in Compton, and ran over a man, who passed away after going to the hospital. Knight fled the scene, making it a hit-and-run incident.

According to TMZ, a number of witnesses revealed that actors and rappers Ice Cube and Dr. Dre were on the film's set when Knight rolled up in his car. The drama started when Knight was asked to leave the set. The gossip site reports that a fight erupted between Knight and 2 men, as he backed his car up in reverse hitting a man who later died. Witnesses claim that Knight reversed his car more than once, with intent to harm the men who were arguing with him.

In an update, we learned that there were actually 2 fights. The first one happened on the set, and the second one, where Knight reversed his car, happened at a nearby restaurant.

There were no details on if the victim was part of the movie in production. A source claims that Ice and Dre were not on set when the fight happened, they had already finished working for the day.

As to why Knight would use his car for force, sources that are close to the accused claim that he felt threatened after previously being shot 6 times last year at a night club.
