Beanie Sigel is in police custody and was charged with attempted murder today, for a shooting that occurred outside of a bar in West Philadelphia earlier in the week.
Sigel turned himself in to authorities after the Roc The Mic concert at the Tweeder center in Camden New Jersey, in connection with the shooting of Terrence Speller.
Sigel allegedly shot Speller in the stomach and foot around 1 a.m. Tuesday. Police said that Speller argued with two women outside of the Pony Tail Bar on South 52nd Street.
Police said that Speller was walking with two people when a Cadillac pulled over and a man Speller identified as Sigel asked the women which man he had argued with and then fired two shots at Speller.
Sigel is also awaiting trial for aggravated assault charges and he is expected to be arraigned next week on separate firearms charges.
Sigel's attorney, Fortunato Perri Jr., said that his client was innocent and said that Sigel had been at the bar earlier in the night, prior to the shooting.
Speller is in critical condition and is recovering at the Hospital of University of Pennsylvania.

In an interview at urbansmarts, emcee/DJ/producer J-Live had some comments regarding his highly anticipated third LP: “It's called "Hereafter", kinda like in the same sense of "All Of The Above" dealing with the heavens above, the hereafter more like what do you're here after all the bullshit. People talk about the hereafter like heaven; a place they go after they are gone. But I'm talking about like heaven in a musical sense of what you can do for yourself to make life better while you're here. What happens in the aftermath of all what's going on in the world right now. What happens after the second album how I grew as an artist. Things of that nature. I'm just starting to record some of the first songs so hopefully it should be out by the fall.”
