Marion "Suge" Knight has been charged with murder and attempted murder after he allegedly ran two men over, killing one, last Thursday on the set of a movie.

The 49-year-old former rap music mogul's $2.2-million bail was also revoked, with Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Nicole Nishida telling the Los Angeles Times it was yanked because Knight was a "possible flight risk [and] three-strike candidate" and there were "possible witness intimidation issues."
