A judge set the trial date for Knight, the co-founder of
influential hip hop label Death Row Records, during a hearing in
Los Angeles Superior Court.
Knight, 51, was ordered to return to court on May 18 for
pre-trial proceedings, said Greg Risling, a spokesman for the
Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
The rap producer is accused of running down two men with his
Ford F-150 pick-up truck outside Tam's Burgers in the Los
Angeles suburb of Compton on Jan. 29, 2015, an incident captured
on videotape by the restaurant's surveillance cameras.
Terry Carter, 55, was struck and killed by the truck. Cle "Bone"
Sloan survived his injuries.
Knight is charged with murder, attempted murder and two counts
of felony hit-and-run in the incident and could face 25 years to
life in prison.
