"LOS ANGELES \u2014 Three people were wounded in a shooting at Chris Brown's pre-MTV Video Music Awards party early Sunday, including Marion \"Suge\" Knight, the Death Row Records founder whose violent history includes being shot at a VMAs pre-party in 2005.\nAuthorities were still seeking a suspect, and declined to release additional information, citing the ongoing investigation. Knight's family confirmed that he was one of the victims in a statement to Revolt TV's website, which added that Knight was an invited guest of Brown's.\nSee also: Snake Bites Nicki Minaj's Dancer During 'Anaconda' Rehearsal for VMAs\n\"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 read. \"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.\u201D\nThe Los Angeles Sheriff's Department confirmed to Mashable that three people were shot at West Hollywood nightclub 1OAK around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, but did not disclose their identities, saying only that they were two men, ages 49 and 32, and a 19-year-old woman. They were in stable condition at Cedars Sinai hospital. \nTMZ first reported that one of the people shot was Knight, who is 49. It's unclear form whom the gunshots were intended; other people in attendance included Brown, Justin Bieber, Tyson Beckford and Black Eyed Peas member apl.de.ap. \nThe VMA pre-party circuit has been rough for Knight, who was shot at a soiree hosted by Kanye West in 2005. In that incident, at a Miami nightclub, Knight was hit in the upper leg when a shooter opened fire in a VIP room.\nUnfortunately your browser does not support IFrames.\nKnight co-founded Death Row Records in the 1991 alongside rappers The D.O.C., Dr. Dre and Dick Griffey. The label boasted such talent as Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Tupac Shakur, MC Hammer and other West Coast artists.\nPerhaps the only thing more extensive than Knight's influence on the West Coast rap scene is his personal rap sheet. Knight was in the car when Shakur was shot outside a Las Vegas nightclub, and has long been suspected \u2014 though never formally implicated \u2014 in the deaths of Shakur and his East Coast rival Biggie Smalls.\nKnight has also served multiple prison terms for a variety of unrelated violent arrests, and been seriously injured several times.\nHe was in prison from 1997 to 2001 on a probation violation, and went back in 2003 after striking a parking lot attendant. In 2008 he was knocked out in a fight outside a Hollywood nightclub and hospitalized, but refused to cooperate with the LAPD\u2019s investigation. \nA few months later was arrested outside a Las Vegas strip club where officers found him assaulting his girlfriend and brandishing a knife; he was arrested on drug charges that were later dropped. He was implicated in a 2009 home-invasion robbery and was arrested for drugs and traffic violations in Las Vegas in 2012.\nBrown tweeted this message on Sunday to his 13.6 million followers:\n\nIt's disappointing that we as a society can't have fun or enjoy ourselves without any altercations sometimes. Miss me with the bullshit!!!\n\u2014 Chris Brown (@chrisbrown) August 24, 2014\n\nAn MTV spokesperson told Mashable that \"MTV has no affiliation nor is connected to this event in any way.\" Brown is scheduled to attend the Sunday's VMAs as a nominee. \nUnfortunately your browser does not support IFrames.\nAdditional reporting by The Associated Press\nHave something to add to this story?
