Dr. Dre and Ice Cube have been cleared in the wrongful death lawsuit filed against them and Marion “Suge” Knight following the death of a man named Terry Carter.
The court ruled that Dre and Cube couldn’t be held responsible for Suge’s actions, as perTMZ. Knight is accused of running over and killing Carter in a pickup truck at Tam’s Burgers.
Dre, Cube, and Suge were originally named as defendants in the lawsuit, which was filed by Carter’s widow, Lilian Carter. She believed Dre and Cube hired gang members to work as security on their Straight Outta Compton set in order to deter Knight from interrupting production.
Knight is accused of running over Carter after being asked to leave the set by security. Meanwhile, the Death Row mogul claims he was scared for his life and was fleeing the scene after an altercation.
The original complaint read: “This lawsuit concerns the tragic tale of how reckless corporate greed, disguised as the quest for authenticity, [led] to a foreseeable altercation that resulted in the death of a successful businessman.”
While Cube and Dre have been cleared, Knight remains involved. He’s also awaiting a murder trial for the same fatal hit-and-run.
