Suge Knight settled a lawsuit with Terry Carter's family for a significant amount, preventing a retrial over a fatal hit-and-run incident from 2015. The settlement, amounting to $1.5 million, was reached just before the retrial was scheduled to commence in Los Angeles. The incident occurred outside a burger stand during a dispute related to the filming of “Straight Outta Compton.” Knight, who is serving a 28-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter in Carter's death, agreed to pay $500,000 each to Carter’s widow and daughters, ending the wrongful death lawsuit. The decision to settle came after Knight's attorney withdrew from the case due to a conflict of interest. Despite reaching a settlement out of respect for Carter and his family, Knight expressed regret over the pain caused. Carter's widow and daughter expressed mixed emotions about the outcome, with Lillian Carter voicing her ongoing pain and disappointment, while Nekaya emphasized the need to move forward from the emotional ordeal.
