At around 8pm on Monday 2/9/09, a white Bentley began what was to be a 4 hour car chase, and a media frenzy. The driver reportedly assaulted a woman with a deadly weapon, drove around Los Angeles highways, returned to a meeting place he had arranged with the alleged victim, and then shot himself in the head while in a standoff with LA Police. The driver, name still unreleased, died early Tuesday 2/10/09 at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank.
Rumors had been flying all over the web as to whether or not the Bentley with Illinois plates belonged to Chris Brown. Last reports say that the Bentley was on the 405 South heading to Manhattan Beach. It was then reported that the driver was Khaled Khaled better known as Terror Squad’s DJ Khaled . This was denied by DJ Khaled on his Myspace Page:

release a statement. Just to be clear I am in Miami, FL working on Rick Ross’
