...that left him with six gunshot wounds. Los Angeles police were looking for several ‘people of interest’ whose names or street monikers came from tips or witness interviews....

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Lt. John Corina said...investigators were "talking to and looking at" some individuals affiliated with the rival Bloods and Crips street gangs, and others with no gang ties...He said his department had received no credible evidence that the bold Sunday morning attack...was related to an alleged bounty on Knight's head stemming from the 1997 murder of New York rapper Notorious B.I.G., whose real name was Christopher Wallace...(link)

New York Post: One possible motive for the shooting of Suge Knight at Chris Brown’s album release party was to discourage him from releasing a tell-all book on his music industry reign.

Music insiders are buzzing that Knight is shopping a story on his career...Knight had a deal with Penguin’s Riverhead Books to write his autobiography in 2002, but it was never released. The music mogul has since fallen into legal and financial trouble, having filed for bankruptcy in 2006 after losing a $107 million lawsuit to a woman who claimed she helped found Death Row with Knight.

We’re told that Knight — who’s refused to talk to police about last weekend’s shooting — was also recently shopping a movie and had filmed a pilot for a reality show a few years ago, though it’s never aired. “Suge doing a tell-all book would be a huge best seller, and probably one of the few things he could do,” a source told us.

A free-standing winner-take-all bounty on Suge? I can buy that...
