Here is the press release:
ATTEMPTED MURDER AND ROBBERY OF TEXAS RAP STAR MIKEL KNIGHT
(Claremont, CA September 20, 2003) Texas Rap artist Mikel Knight was hospitalized Wednesday, September 10th in Pomona, CA after sustaining injuries from broken glass and gunpowder burns during an attempted homicide and robbery. The entertainer was scheduled to record with Snoop Dogg at The Church studios that evening, but never made it to the residence. Claremont police are searching for two suspects, including “Uncle Chuck”, a well-known entertainment manager, and partner with rap artist Badazz in Double Dollar Sign Records. Mikel Knight had arranged in advance to record songs for an upcoming album project with Saz Sampler and Snoop Dogg. At approximately 9 p.m. the night of the 10th, “Uncle Chuck” (believed to be Charles Simmons) and his driver pulled large caliber pistols on Mikel Knight and Saz Sampler. All four were traveling through a Claremont, CA neighborhood when the two assailants attempted to hold them at gunpoint. In the struggle to get out of the vehicle, Chuck fired his weapon point blank at Mikel Knight’s head. Mikel managed to pull his head back in time to dodge the bullet that shattered the emerald green Escalade’s window. During the confusion, Mikel managed to jump out the shattered window and escape on foot. The assailants chased Mikel through the neighborhood while holding Saz Sampler at gunpoint. In order to escape, Mikel Knight had to jump through a glass picture window of a nearby residence, startling the family inside. The suspects were able to escape after dumping Saz at the scene. Police are conducting an exhaustive search for the suspects after interviewing Mikel Knight in his home state of Texas.
The Claremont Police Department can be reached at (909) 399-5411. This attempted murder and robbery is case number 033784, and the detective in charge is Agent Karlan Bennett. The investigation is still pending.
