It has not been a good year for Suge Knight. (click here) In the past twelve months, he's been shot and been arrested on robbery charges, and now he could very well be facing a count of vehicular manslaughter. TMZ reports that Knight ran over a man with his car in L.A. today, possibly killing him.

According to the gossip site, a video shoot featuring Knight, The Game, Dr. Dre and Ice Cube was going down when Suge got into an altercation with two cast members. After this, he got into his car and put it in reverse, at which point several witnesses say he ran over a bystander. The victim is allegedly named Terry Carter....

There is no motive involved with death by auto. Death by auto is a charge someone can receive if there was an accident and a death within that accident. It is going to be difficult to prove murder. 

Even people with affluenza can  be charged with death by auto.
