Alleged Antonio Brown Shooting Target Claims Dispute Stemmed From Money Remark
The man who Antonio Brown allegedly tried to kill in a shooting last month says the dispute that led to the gunfire was sparked by a remark about money. Zül-Qarnain Nantambu joined Charles and Elex on "TMZ Live" on Friday and explained he and Brown had big beef long before their differences turned physical outside of a celebrity boxing event back on May 16. Nantambu alleged that a few years ago, when they were both in Dubai for a Floyd Mayweather fight, Brown stole some jewelry from him. Nantambu said the incident actually resulted in a lawsuit, which he claims ended in a judgment against the former NFL star. Nantambu said when he hit up Adin Ross' Brand Risk event in Miami and saw Brown there -- he reminded the ex-Steelers receiver about the debt he owed ... "and then that's when the attack happened." Nantambu claimed Brown hit him ... and then several of the athlete's friends raced in to tag him as well. He said it all resulted in him needing seven stitches just above his eye. He added that he believes a bullet that Brown eventually fired at him toward the end of the altercation might have grazed his neck. As you know, an arrest warrant for Brown has been issued over the allegations ... but he hasn't seemed to sweat it much -- posting a video of him Friday riding a bike with a smile on his face. The charge Brown is currently facing is felony attempted second-degree murder with a firearm.

Double shooting outside Bronx smoke shop leaves 2 men in critical condition
Two men — possibly brothers — were shot in the Bronx Friday night, with both near death, police and sources said. The pair were hanging out outside a smoke shop on Dyre Ave. near Light St. in Baychester — near the last stop on the No. 5 subway line — when a man opened fire around 7:45 p.m., striking one of them, 40 years old, in the neck and the other, a 30-year-old, in the collarbone, cops said. 'It was the two brothers hanging out in front of the smoke shop,' an eyewitness who did not want to be identified said. 'The guy came across the street shooting. He hit both of them, one in the neck. He was bleeding bad. It looked like he was going to die.' Medics rushed both men to Jacobi Medical Center, where they are in critical condition. Cops could not immediately confirm if the two are brothers. So far there have been no arrests. Police have one man in custody but couldn't say if he was a suspect or simply a person of interest. The investigation is ongoing.
