Suge Knight Released From Hospital. Police Say Bounty On His Head For The Notorious B.I.G's Death Was Not The Reason He Was Shot

Suge Knight was released from a Los Angeles hospital on Wednesday, August 27, three days after being shot six times at a pre-VMA party.

TMZ reports that the 49-year old former Death Row Records CEO, will have no long term effects from the shooting. He just needs to keep his wounds clean to avoid infection and won't have to go through rehab.

Suge was injured inside the 1Oak nightclub in West Hollywood at a Chris Brown-hosted party. Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Lt. John Corina debunked a rumor that Suge was shot because he had a bounty on his head for the 1997 murder of The Notorious B.I.G.

"We've heard nothing about that, no connection to that," Corina said, according to the New York Daily News.

The police are looking at suspects with Blood and Crip gang affiliations, as well as others. Hours of surveillance footage from the club is being studied as part of the investigation.

"He went straight home and is going to heal up in a few days and be stronger than ever," friend Keith Middlebrook told The News Wednesday. "I talked to him today. He's tough. When he was shot, he walked out of the building. He's a pretty tough cat."
