Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe shot their way to the top of the North American box office as "American Gangster" sold about $46.3 million in tickets during its first weekend, distributor Universal Pictures said yesterday. "Bee Movie," the heavily marketed collaboration with Jerry Seinfeld, flew in at No. 2 with $39.1 million.

The gunman who killed hip-hop icon Jam Master Jay has never been identified, but he has what could be a telltale characteristic - a tattooed neck, according to a witness. Randy Allen noted the mystery gunman's tattoo in a story yesterday in The (New York) Daily News, marking what the newspaper called his first extensive interview about one of the hip-hop world's legendary unsolved slayings. Jay, whose real name was Jason Mizell, was shot dead in his Queens studio on Oct. 30, 2002. Despite a lengthy investigation and substantial reward, the case has been stymied by uncooperative witnesses, investigators say. Allen, Mizell's business partner, told the Daily News he had cooperated completely with investigators and was furious that others had not. "This is a case that can be solved," he said. Working with rappers Joe "Run" Simmons and Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Mizell manned the turntables on such 1980s rap classics as "King of Rock," "It's Tricky" and a top-40 remake of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way."

Shia LaBeouf was charged with misdemeanor criminal trespassing after the "Transformers" star refused to leave a Chicago drug store, police said yesterday. A security guard told LaBeouf that he needed to leave the Walgreens store because he appeared to be drunk, police said. When LaBeouf, 21, refused to leave, the security guard detained him and called police at about 2:30 a.m., according to police spokeswoman Laura Kubiak. After he was arrested, police noted that LaBeouf was "very courteous and polite," Kubiak said. Police said he posted bond before 7 a.m., but Kubiak did not know the amount. LaBeouf, of Glendale, Calif., is scheduled to appear in Cook County court on Nov. 28. Police did not administer a sobriety test because LaBeouf was not driving a vehicle, Kubiak said. Publicists for LaBeouf did not immediately return calls for comment. The actor is set to costar with Harrison Ford in "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," due in theaters next year.
