LOS ANGELES (AP) — An attorney says Marion "Suge" Knight was called over to a fast-food restaurant for a meeting and attacked by four people who beat the former rap music mogul through his truck window and threatened to kill him.

James Blatt says the incident ended with Knight accidentally running two men over, killing one.

Blatt says a friend of Knight's called him to Tam's Burgers in Compton about an hour after a dispute at a film shoot a couple miles away.

Blatt says Knight was attacked as he slowed his pickup truck and fled in fear by accelerating. He had no idea he had hit two men, killing the 55-year-old friend, Terry Carter, and injuring another 51-year-old man.

Knight has been booked on suspicion of murder.
