Los Angeles detectives seek witnesses in Marion "Suge" Knight shooting

Los Angeles County detectives are reviewing security camera footage and seeking witnesses to a shooting at a packed nightclub that injured three people, including Death Row Records founder Marion "Suge" Knight.

Sheriff's Sgt. Richard Biddle said Monday that investigators believe as many as 20 people witnessed the gunfire early Sunday at 1OAK on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, California. But Biddle says no potential witnesses have come forward.

Knight and the two other victims were taken to a hospital for treatment and are expected to survive.

A pre-VMAs party co-hosted by R&B singer Chris Brown and Pia Mia was being held at the club when the shots were fired.

"This incident did not involve Chris," a representatives for Brown said in a statement. "He has and will continue to cooperate with the investigation."

Detectives have not identified a suspect in the shooting.

This isn't the first time Knight has been wounded at a VMAs party. He was previously shot in the leg at a bash hosted by Kanye West in 2005.

Knight's Death Row Records was on the leading edge of rap music in the 1990s. He eventually declared bankruptcy in 2006 and the label was auctioned off.

Knight has currently been working on a biopic about Death Row rapper Tupac Shakur, who was shot and killed in front of him in a still-unsolved murder case from 1996.
