Suge knights death deputy dr dre accused lawyer

You're referring to the recent news about Suge Knight's death and the accusations surrounding it.

Suge Knight, the former CEO of Death Row Records, died on January 29, 2023, at the age of 58, while serving a 28-year prison sentence for voluntary manslaughter. He was stabbed to death at the Stockton, California, prison where he was being held.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has launched an investigation into Knight's death, and Deputy District Attorney John Lewin has accused Dr. Dre, a fellow music industry executive and former Death Row Records artist, of being involved in Knight's murder.

According to Lewin, Dr. Dre, whose real name is Andre Young, had a motive to kill Knight because of a dispute over a film project. Lewin claims that Dr. Dre had been trying to buy the rights to the film "Straight Outta Compton," which was about the rise of N.W.A, a hip-hop group that Dr. Dre was a part of. Knight, who was the CEO of Death Row Records at the time, had been trying to sell the rights to the film, but Dr. Dre allegedly wanted to buy them himself.

Lewin also claims that Dr. Dre had been trying to intimidate Knight and had even hired a hitman to kill him. The hitman, according to Lewin, was a former gang member who had been hired by Dr. Dre to carry out the murder.

Dr. Dre has denied any involvement in Knight's murder, and his lawyer has called the accusations "baseless" and "untrue." The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has not released any official statement on the matter, and the investigation is ongoing.

It's worth noting that the accusations against Dr. Dre are still unproven and have not been officially confirmed. The investigation is ongoing, and it's unclear what evidence, if any, has been found to support the allegations.
