Knight claimed he was attacked by two people and while driving away, he hit his friend with his car, killing him, his attorney, James Blatt, told ABC’s Los Angeles affiliate KABC-TV. Another man was injured in the incident.

Los Angeles Sheriff’s deputies haven’t named either of the men.

Knight planned to surrender to police, said Blatt.

ABC News called Blatt’s offices but he wasn’t immediately available for comment.

In August, Knight was injured in a shooting at a pre-MTV Video Music Awards party in Los Angeles.

Knight, who founded Death Row Records, was also shot at a pre-VMAs party hosted by Kanye West in 2005.
