Marion "Suge" Knight is due in court Monday for a bail hearing during which his attorney is expected to make a plea for his release.
Knight is charged with murder, attempted murder and two counts of hit-and-run with an allegation that the former rap mogul committed a violent felony while out on bail pending another case.
Knight, 49, has pleaded not guilty in connection with a Jan. 29 incident outside Tam's Burgers in Compton in which authorities allege that Knight deliberately ran over two men after a fight.
The co-founder of Death Row Records is being held without bail after Los Angeles County's Sheriff's Department officials argued that he was a possible flight risk and had "witness intimidation issues." They also cited his criminal past.
Immediately following his hearing Tuesday, Knight was taken to a hospital for an unspecified medical emergency. He was treated and later released into police custody.
He is accused of deliberately running over Terry Carter, 55, and Cle "Bone" Sloan, 51, in the restaurant parking lot following an argument on the set of a commercial for the N.W.A biopic "Straight Outta Compton." Authorities said Sloan and Knight were fighting but that Carter was not involved in the fight.
Carter was killed and Sloan was injured in the incident.
Investigators said that after striking the men, Knight, who was in his Ford F-150 truck, drove away. He was arrested the following morning.
His former attorney, James E. Blatt, said Knight was assaulted and accidentally ran over the men while trying to escape his attackers. He said Knight was heartbroken over the death of Carter, a longtime friend.
Nearly 2,000 mourners attended Carter's funeral service Saturday at the First AME Church in the West Adams neighborhood.
