Bell's Life Ended Just as He Was at Moment of Transition
in response to reader comment: "Well known to the police"

Submitted by KB24, Dec 12, 2006 17:02

What happened on the morning Mr. Bell was killed is a tragedy. Everything was so out of balance that early morning .... Cops looking for drugs and prostitution arrests, drugs being sold, Guns in peoples waistband, drinking, people trying to buy love, people yelling go get thier gun......Kalua's was definitely not a good spot that night or any other of the nights it was open. Really sad to hear how Bell got killed. Any family would react the same for support of thier fiance, brother, son, old friends. Anyway from what i have been reading in regards to bell's arrests with drugs and weapons, this part of his crime life was not known to his family. They only knew him as a wonderful human being who never got in trouble. He had alot going on that was hidden and leading to a future arrest and separation from his family. So sorry it ended this way. No one deserves to die that way. Sometimes when you are involved with certain individuals who are not positive and linked to thier presence in certain situations sometimes these things happens even when you are innocent. They were out there at 4:00am drinking and trying to buy some love from the dancer hours before the wedding and this was definitely the main reason the Yo go get my gun was shouted out. Definitely was a bad night which changed to a tragic morning for everyone who was on the scene.

Sean Bell...RIP
