KTLA.com: Knight was being held on $2.025 million bail after being booked about 3AM...(H)is...attorney, James Blatt...said Knight was trying to escape an attack when he accidentally hit the victims. “We feel strongly that Mr. Knight did not do anything wrong in this matter...He was attacked by a number of individuals — that’s already been corroborated by certain witnesses. He left the scene because he was in fear for his safety and life.”
Knight was driving his truck and was slowing down to meet with longtime friend and business partner Terry Carter when he was assaulted, Blatt said...Between two and four men charged Knight’s car and beat him through his open driver’s window...“They beat him. They grabbed him. They indicated that they were trying to get him out of the car to kill him,” Blatt said. In self-defense and in an attempt to get away, Knight struck Carter and a second victim, actor Cle “Bone” Sloan, according to Blatt. His client did not realize he had hit anyone...
(But) Authorities (say) Knight, 49, purposefully ran two people over during an argument...in the parking lot of Tam’s Burgers...about 3PM...Sheriff’s Department homicide Lt. John Corina said Knight was sitting in his Ford F-150 Raptor pickup truck in the restaurant’s parking lot when he got into a fight with Sloan through the driver’s side window. Knight put the vehicle into reverse, knocking Sloan to the ground...Knight allegedly then put the pickup into drive and accelerated into Sloan, hitting him and then Carter, and speeding away...“It looks like an intentional act, which would make it a homicide. He used his vehicle as a weapon,” Corina said.
The pickup truck was recovered hours later in a Westwood parking lot. Knight had been involved in another altercation, also with Sloan, 20 to 30 minutes before the hit-and-run collisions, Corina said...

Suge was going to Tam's to meet Carter, and Sloan, who he'd fought with earlier, happened to be there? Did Suge travel to Tam's with Carter? Did Suge follow Sloan there?
