Nine days after gunshots were fired at a Chris Brown-hosted pre-VMA party at 1OAK in West Hollywood, photos of Suge Knight‘s injuries have been released. The Death Row Records founder, 49, was shot six times during the early morning hours of Aug. 24, but he miraculously survived. We warn you — the photos are quite horrific.
In the set of pictures, obtained by TMZ, Suge’s wounds are revealed. And some of the six gunshot wounds are still packed with gauze.
There is also a huge scar down Suge’s stomach. Sources tell the site that doctors had to cut his torso open to make sure the bullets didn’t hit any major organs. Shockingly, they did not.
Interestingly, the gunshot wound in Suge’s arm is just inches away from his tattoo honoring Tupac Shakur. Suge was in the driver’s seat of Tupac’s vehicle, when the legendary rapper was shot and killed in 1996.
We must note that Suge was also shot in the leg at Kanye West’s pre-VMAs party in 2005. (He must have a guardian angel looking over him!)
A witness says Chris was the intended target of the gunfire at 1OAK, while Suge was shot six times and sent to the hospital.
Suge is still in recovery, but his family recently released a statement.
“The family of Suge Knight ask that you keep Suge in your prayers and to stray away from the negativity portrayed by the media,” the statement offered on Suge’sofficial Facebook fanpage reads. “Suge is currently resting and has lost a lot of blood, he’s human. He’s done a lot of things for the community and the culture as a whole so we ask that you respect that.”
What do you think of these graphic new photos, HollywoodLifers? Our thoughts go out to Suge Knight — we hope he has a speedy recovery.
