Brooklyn-based rapper Roland Collins, 30, who goes by the stage name Troy Ave, was shot in the leg, as was Maggie Heckstall, 26, who investigators don't believe was involved in the fight, authorities said. .
His predecessor, James Plosia, who was the mayor for 26 years, said he continually had to fight the authority to get more money.
Mr. Alvarez and Mr. Soto got into a fight, the authorities said, and a gun was drawn.
He fights, challenges authority at every opportunity and has run away on many occasions.
Confronted with the prospect of a prolonged fight, Russian authorities have pressed the news media to tone down the already careful coverage of the war.
In 1996, Mr. Avena became something of a shoe-shining celebrity when he successfully fought the authority for the 150-square-foot space.
The fight, the authorities said, was precipitated by an afternoon filled with alcohol and by two men with nothing better to do.
The two men, from a village in Henan Province, had had a fight, the authorities later found a headless body in a village well, and Zhao Zuohai confessed to the killing.
Apparently seeking to undermine the rebels' determination to continue their fight, government authorities on Monday repeated an offer of amnesty for combatants who give up their weapons, Reuters said, quoting state television.
