The victim is Terry Carter, who we're told is a friend of Suge's who arrived with him at the scene -- he works at a local tow truck company in Compton -- and witnesses say he's "an OG in the neighborhood."

Our sources say Carter was in the process of walking to the passenger door of Suge's vehicle, but happened to be in the rear when Suge gunned it.

Two other men were also hit ... including Cle "Bone" Sloan -- who's appeared in "Training Day" and "End of Watch" -- and suffered non-life threatening injuries. Both men are in the hospital.

Beef Between Dre and Suge Sparked Fatal Hit and Run

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.

...Suge had gone to another location where the commercial for (the) Straight Outta Compton (movie) 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 you probably know, Dre and Suge owned Death Row Records but their partnership blew apart and Dre left...(for) Interscope (Records). Suge's people say they can easily prove Terry called Suge but obviously there's only one person now who can recount the conversation.

Dr. Dre is calling BS on Suge Knight for suggesting the good Doc asked Suge to come to the set to make peace with him. Sources connected with Dre tell us he scoffed when he was told Suge is claiming Terry Carter -- the man he struck and killed -- was bringing Suge to the set because Dre wanted to end their beef.

TMZ broke the story (that) less than an hour before the hit and run, Suge went to another set location but was thrown out by Dre's security. Sources connected with Suge say he got a call from Carter who said he had just spoken with Dre and the Beats mogul said he wanted Suge to return so he could make peace.

Our Dre sources say it never happened, and note it's pretty convenient the only other person who has first-hand knowledge is dead...Dre and his people (don't) want Suge around...because they view Suge as having a big fat target on his back...

Apparently, this movie is being made with Dre's blessings and, probably, financial resources. IS Suge worried about portrayed in a defamatory manner, or does he feel he's entitled to a cut of the movie's financial equity? In his haste to get away from his tormentors, did Suge back over Carter accidentally? Or did he kill Carter in a rage because he felt he'd been betrayed?
