Source general manager Leroy Peeples and salesman Alvin Childs were arrested outside the Limerick House pub on W. 23rd Street, across from the magazine's offices, according to The New York Post.

One investigator told the Daily News that after argument erupted between the two suspects, an aspiring rapper, his cousin and a busboy, over whether they were going to play a particular hip hop album, the altercation moved outside the bar where witnesses heard four shots fired.

According to reports, the 26-year-old rap hopeful was shot in the head and taken to St. Vincent's hospital in critical condition, while his 30-year-old cousin Alex Colon was shot in the arm and leg. The busboy was reportedly hit in the torso. Police said all three injured individuals were expected to recover.

Both men pleaded not guilty to the shootings and were charged with three counts of attempted murder. Their bails were set at $200,000 bond or $25,000 cash.
