Sean Bell Murder

The Sean Bell murder took place on November 25, 2006 in New York City. 50 bullets were fired at Sean Bell and his friends from Cops thinking that he was a criminal. Sean Bell's two other friends were injured in the barrage.
The case was dismissed as "an accident" and the officers were free to go. Bell sold Cocaine to undercover cops and lead to part of his record, leading to the murder.
When leaving the club they were in the police overheard one of Bell's friends saying "yo, get my gun and kill that dumb white bitch" leading them to believe they were the murderers. An attorney for the Bell family said in response to the report, "No matter what his blood-alcohol level was, he's a victim."
The case may have been dismissed but it is still talked about to this day.
