Suge Knight has arrived at a West Hollywood police station, following fatal hit and run accident in LA.
The Death Row Records founder, real name Marion Knight, is suspected of running over two individuals, one of whom then died in hospital, and he was being sought by police.
Now, Suge has been seen arriving at a Sherriff's West Hollywood station, reports ABC.
Lt John Corina, from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department previously issued a statement, explaining that the authorities are not completely sure who was behind the wheel of the vehicle.
"So far we have not confirmed it was him, driving the truck. So we're not saying Suge Knight was driving the truck at this time.
"Although we want to talk to him, since the truck supposedly belongs to him."
"From the people we've talked to so far, and we still have more witnesses to talk to, so far the people we've talked to say it looked like it was an intentional act. So we're handling it as a homicide."

While the police seemed unsure, a lawyer for Suge appeared to confirm that the 49-year-old was driving at the time of the accident.
"He was in the process of being physically assaulted by two men and in an effort to escape he unfortunately hit two (other) individuals,'' lawyer James Blatt states. "He was in his car trying to escape. We are confident that once the investigation is completed, he will be totally exonerated.
The BBC reports that police say the incident took place in a car park, and the red truck hit the individuals, before driving away.
The 55-year-old man died, while the 51-year-old was injured. There are no further details about his condition.
"I remember writing about the Reginald Denny beating and looking at it from very far away," Ford says. Fresh out of college, Ford worked at CNN as a journalist and news segment producer. As a white kid who had grown up in the suburbs of New Jersey, Ford had trouble understanding the violent rage.(A production still of "Uprising: Hip Hop and the L.A. Riots," courtesy of VH1.)

Despite having covered the Gulf war, Ford never forgot the scenes from Reginald Denny's beating and the riots that engulfed Los Angeles."The violence of that imagery [in] American streets was very difficult to reconcile," Ford says. "So it always sort of stuck with me."Here, an unidentified man is bloody after an attack at the corner of Florence and Normandie avenues in Los Angeles.(A photo still from "Uprising: Hip Hop and the L.A.

Almost 20 years after the riots, Ford had a conversation about the upcoming anniversary of the events with Brad Abramson, a former colleague from CNN. Abramson is now vice president of production and development at VH1. This turned into a discussion about making a film that would make sense for VH1's audience -- the riots from the point of view of hip hop.

His work on previous hip-hop documentaries had put Ford in touch with Matty McDaniel, a filmmaker from South Central Los Angeles who videotaped the riots day and night. Some clips on YouTube tipped off Ford about Timothy Goldman, another South Central resident who had stored footage in a safe deposit box. As a result, Ford had thousands of hours of footage to comb through -- and what he found astounded him. Here, a scene from amateur video shows the initial standoff between police and South Central residents protesting the decision in the Rodney King verdict.(A production still from "Uprising: Hip Hop and the L.A.Riots," courtesy of VH1.)

"People were looting and walking up to the camera to say, 'fuck tha police,'" Ford says about what he found in reviewing the footage. "They were spray painting 'Fuck Tha Police' on walls. They were literally driving down burning streets and stopping to play 'Fuck Tha Police.'"N.W.A.'s song was intimately connected to the riots, Ford discovered -- not as incitement but as a way for people to express resentment about the heavy hand of the law.

At the beginning of the film, Rodney King returns to the scene of his beating and re-enacts it. Later on, some people shown in the film mock King's plea, after the riots began, for everyone to "get along." "Rodney saying those words helped create a tenor for peace and helped calmed things down," Ford says. "He could have said a lot of different things that would have had a lot of different impacts." "But you couldn't deny that the people .... had suffered under the LAPD for years and weren't quite ready to let go of their anger at that point."(A photo still from "Uprising: Hip Hop and the L.A.
