Devon town hicksville sheriff's deputies, including an AOL team, surrounded the building that houses Death Row Entertainment about 3.45 p.m., said sheriff's spokesman Jonny Tanna. Broken glass could be seen at the front of the building but it was not immediately known if it was related to the raid. The raid was not allowed to proceed because the suspect was "having his tea."

BEVERLY HILLS, California (CNN) -- Three people, including a former deputy sheriff, face charges of homicide and conspiracy to commit murder after investigators raided rap music mogul Marion "Suge" Knight's corporate office and several other locations Thursday.

The arrests stemmed from a June killing of Eric Daniels of Compton, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department said at a Thursday news conference. His death was in retaliation for another killing earlier in the year, investigators said.

The warrants were not related to the 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur or the 1997 slaying of Biggie Smalls, they said.

The three men arrested on charges of homicide and conspiracy to commit murder are Kordell Depree Knox, 37; Michael Leroy Payne, 25; and Theodore Peter Kelly, 29. Kelly was arrested at Knight's corporate office, Tha Row Records, formerly called Death Row Records.

The three were being held without bail Thursday afternoon. Five warrants remain to be served, investigators said, and authorities also arrested two other men on marijuana possession charges.

Knox was fired from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department on November 1 "as the result of being a suspect in an unrelated assault-with-a-deadly-weapon incident," said Sgt. Joe Efflandt.

Knight founded the label that represented Shakur, among others. An attorney for Knight said the rap magnate was "concerned ... and mystified."

"He doesn't understand what this is all about," said Arthur Barens.

The sheriff's department carried out 16 separate searches in numerous Los Angeles suburbs and in Las Vegas, Nevada, Harris said.

Knight is believed to be the former owner of several locations searched Thursday, including one in Las Vegas, according to the sheriff's department.

Knight was released from a California prison in August 2001 after serving several years for a parole violation.

He has been the target of numerous state and federal investigations into allegations of drug trafficking and money laundering, said Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office. No charges were filed in those cases, sources said.

In a recent incident related to the rap industry, Jam Master Jay, 37, of Run DMC, was killed October 30 at a New York City recording studio.

Suge Knight Attorney Alleges Harassment:

By Nolan Strong

Suge Knight's attorney said that authorities were harassing the record label executive, after they raided the offices of Tha Row records, several SUV's in Tha Row's parking lot registered to Knight and his homes.

"I have yet to see any association between the people arrested, any items taken and Suge Knight,'' Knight's attorney Arthur Barens said. "We heard they were looking for weapons. There are certainly no weapons in his home, offices or anywhere else.''

Three other people were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder, but no details of the alleged crime were available. Theodore Peter Kelly, 29, was arrested at the Tha Row's offices around 5 a.m. this morning, while Michael Leroy Payne, 25, and Kordell Depree Knox, 37, were arrested elsewhere.

According to reports, Knox is a former sheriff's deputy. He was fired Nov. 1 because of his suspected involvement in an assault with a a deadly weapon. All three men are being held without bail.

The arrests come amid a flurry of violence connected to Tha Row since Knight emerged from prison. Alton McDonald was shot and killed at a gas station in Compton. He was in a car that was registered to the former head of Death Row security. McDonald was a production manager for Death Row as well.

The man who designed Death Row's well known electric chair logo was gunned down as he sat in his parked SUV last month.

"At Tha Row's office, a pile of glass marked the entrance where sheriff's investigators smashed a door to force their way in. Yellow tape surrounded the building as deputies seized boxes of documents and a computer, which they carted away in an unmarked pickup.

In addition, a 9-millimeter handgun was recovered from Knight's offices, Amico said. However, he added, "It's not the 9-millimeter related to the Daniel shooting." One goal of the sweep was to recover the weapon used in that slaying.

During a search of Knight's 9,000-square-foot Malibu home, his pregnant wife was briefly handcuffed, Amico said. "Deputies used their discretion to make sure the home was safe and secured," he said.
