ByTamiAbdollah The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Marion "Suge" Knight, the former music mogul who created one of hip-hop's leading la- bels and became the im- presario of gangster rap, was arrested early Friday on suspicion of hitting and killing a man with his truck and then fleeing the crash near Los Angeles. Knight's attorney said the founder of Death Row Records accidentally ran over and killed a friend and injured another man as he tried to escape attackers Thursday. Witnesses and authorities say an argument between the men escalated into Knight ramming the pair. Authorities said he could face a murder charge. Knight, who has a long history of violent crimes, launched artists like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Tu- pac Shakur. Many of the records he released helped immortalize Compton, the LA-area city where the crash occurred, in hip-hop folklore as a gritty and vi- olent urban environment, although crime there has dipped significantly there since its 1990s peak. He was arrested around 3 a.m. after turning himself in to authorities. He was be- ing held on $2 million bail, said Deputy Trina Schrader of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. A red pickup truck drove into the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant Thurs- day afternoon in Compton, and its driver started argu- ing with two people there, sheriff's officials said. The argument escalated, and the pickup struck the men around 3 p.m. and then took off, authorities said. "Looks like he drove backwards and struck the victims and drove forwards and struck them again," sheriff's Lt. John Corina said. "The people we talked to say it looked like it was an intentional act." A 55-year-old man died at a hospital, and a 51-year- old man was injured, but authorities did not imme- diately know his condition. Witnesses also spoke of an argument. "To see the argument happen, it's one thing," said 17-year-old Robert Smith, who was eating in the res- taurant. "Seeing the car in- cident, that was shocking." Knight's attorney, James Blatt, said the crash was an accident. "He was in the process of being physically assaulted by two men, and in an ef- fort to escape, he unfortu- nately hit two (other) indi- viduals," the lawyer said. "He was in his car trying to escape." LOS ANGELES Ex-rap mogul 'Suge' Knight arrested in deadly hit-and-run PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER.

Snow will fall over the higher elevations of New Mexico to part of Nebraska and Iowa.
