According to Miami Beach police spokesman Bobby Hernandez, police have no suspects. Hernandez also denied that a police report described a suspect as a “Black man wearing a pink shirt.”
Suge was in attendance when an unidentified gunman reportedly walked up to Knight at about 12:30 a.m. and fired at least two shots witnesses told the Miami Herald. Knight was reportedly found on a couch of the VIP section with a towel over his face and blood leaking on the floor.
Since the incident, speculation has mounted over who shot Suge and why. Suge has a storied past and has had run-ins with various foes over the years, making it difficult for authorities to speculate on motive and opportunity. Suge list of enemies read like an award show VIP list, including Snoop Dogg, The Game who he reportedly got into an altercation with in L.A. back in June, P. Diddy, Dr. Dre, Daz Dillinger, Eminem who he recently took shots at in the new XXL Magazine.
There’s even speculation that Knight might have accidentally shot himself with his own gun.
Like the perfect mystery setup, many of Suge’s foes including The Game, Diddy and Snoop Dogg were in Miami on Sunday night with their entourages – providing opportunity and access to the Death Row mogul.
Hours before Suge was shot, the aforementioned Game and his crew were forced to leave Miami’s American Airlines Arena when two of Game’s bodyguards attempted to access rehearsal with guns.
“Two of the bodyguards were armed, and had concealed weapons permits,” Miami police spokesman Delrish Moss told the Herald. “The officers explained what the rules were, that they could not come in armed so they left and came back without their weapons.”
Game and Knight have been feuding since the Compton emcee joined Dr. Dre’s Aftermath roster. Knight routinely takes shots at Dre in interviews. In XXL Magazine’s September issue’s cover story, Knight mockingly states that “it must have been hard for Dre to be punched in front of his wife at last year’s Vibe Awards.” Knight also called Eminem, who didn’t attend the VMAs, a racist in the XXL cover story. Knight and Dre started beefing when the super producer left Death Row to launch his own label in the mid 90s. They have not been on good terms since.
Outrageous speculation aside, police continue to be stifled by uncooperative witnesses who refuse to tell what they saw. The Miami police are asking any person who has information to call their anonymous tipline at 305-471-TIPS (8477).
