COMPTON, Calif. (Reuters) - Rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight pleaded not guilty at a court in Compton, California, on Tuesday to charges including murder in connection with a fatal hit-and-run incident last week.

Knight, the 49-year-old co-founder of influential hip-hop label Death Row Records, has been charged with one count each of murder and attempted murder, and two counts of felony hit-and-run, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said.
