Video After The Jump
The video showing the fatal hit-and-run involving Suge Knight and Terry Carter has been released by TMZ. Knight believes the tape will exonerate him, but the gruesome clip may cost him the rest of his life behind bars.

As we previously reported, Suge was involved in a fight with security when he went to visit the set of the N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton on Thursday, January 29, in Compton, California.
The fight spilled over to a nearby hamburger restaurant. In the video Suge can be seen pulling his red truck into the parking lot of the burger joint where he is confronted by Cle "Bone"Sloane, an actor and well known former member of the Athens Park Bloods.
Sloane walks up to the truck and appears to struggle with Knight, who is still sitting in the driver's seat, before the former Death Row Records CEO backs up knocking Sloane to the ground. Suge then pulls forward, running over Sloane and Terry Carter.

Carter was killed instantly. Sloane suffered severe injuries to his leg. Suge then flees the scene without stopping. The video was released by TMZ with the blessing of Carter's family.
"The Carter family is pleased you are releasing the video so the public can see what actually occurred and not be forced to speculate based on third party descriptions of the video," reads the statement.
Knight says he was in fear for his life at the time. The video shows another man tucking what appears to be a gun into his pants as he renders aid to Sloane.
Suge turned himself into authorities on Friday, January 30. He's been charged with charged with murder, attempted murder and two counts of hit-and-run with an allegation that the Compton native committed a violent felony while out on bail pending another case.. His bail is set at $2 million.
Watch the video above and decide for yourself. Does Suge appear to have a valid reason for his actions?
