Two employees of The Source magazine have been charged and arrested on attempted murder charges when they shot at three men after getting into a dispute while leaving the Limerick House -- a Manhattan night club directly across the street from the mag's headquarters -- early Saturday (July 23).
According to the Boston Herald, LeRoy Peeples and Alvin Childs, who are the President and Marketing Director respectively at the magazine, became furious after a club employee refused to play hip-hop music instead of merengue.
Following the dispute, Peeples and Childs fired on three men, hitting one victim in the head -- leaving him critically injured -- while two others were shot in the arm and torso.
"The both of them were at the club and there was a shooting. They both were in crowd and the crowd dispersed," their lawyer, Mel Sachs, told the Boston Herald. "There weren't any weapons found on either of them or in close proximity to them. Both of them adamantly deny their involvement in the shooting."
Both men were expected to make bail Sunday, which was set at $200,000 each with at $25,000 to be posted in cash, according to their attorney.
The case is scheduled to go before a jury on Friday (July 29).
