UPDATE: TMZ has parking lot video

(WARNING: Graphic)

TMZ: Suge drove to a Tam's Burgers in Compton where Dr. Dre was filming footage connected with the NWA biopic Straight Outta Compton had been kicked out of another location shoot 20 minutes earlier, and he claims he went to the burger joint to make peace with Dre...

You see Suge pull up and he is almost instantly confronted by Cle "Bone" Sloan, who did security for the film. You clearly see Bone attacking Suge through the driver's window, when Suge suddenly throws the truck in reverse, clipping Bone with the side view mirror and knocking him down.

You also see Terry Carter -- the man who ended up run over and dead -- standing near Bone. Terry moves into the parking lot when Suge guns it again, hitting Bone a second time and mowing Terry down, mortally wounding him.

Suge claims he was not trying to run either man over but instead was trying to escape out of fear he would be killed. Suge's lawyer claims Bone and Terry both had guns. Check out the video. As Bone lays on the ground you clearly see another man walk up, remove something from Bone and put it in his waistband.

Maybe the men in the lot were armed -- but no one appears to be brandishing a gun. More to the point, since Suge had time to decide to straighten his front wheels in order to drive back into the lot after he backed up, he also had time to decide to turn his front wheels to the left in order to drive to the nearest police station after he backed up. Had he done the latter, Suge would have had a legitimate claim of self-defense.
