Suge Knight got into a fight on the set of a film project in Compton, and ran over a man ... and we're told the victim is dead ... and Suge fled the scene.

Multiple witnesses tell us some kind of shoot -- possibly for a movie or documentary -- was going down with Game, Ice Cube and Dr. Dre when Suge pulled up in his car.

We're told a fight broke out between Suge and 2 crew members. Suge got back into his car, took the wheel and threw the vehicle in reverse ... and ran over a bystander.

It's unclear at this point if the victim was connected to the film project.

Sources connected with Suge tell TMZ ... the 2 men who fought Suge were the instigators. Our sources say Suge was scared because he's in frail health -- in addition to being shot 6 times last summer, he recently almost died from a blood clot.

Sources tell TMZ ... the victim is Terry Carter, who we're told is a friend of Suge's. Another man was also hit ... Cle "Bone" Sloane -- who's appeared in "Training Day" and "End of Watch" -- suffered non-life threatening injuries.
