The Tragic Sean Bell Story

This story still shocks America still till this day. Sean Bell was shot 50 times by undercover and was killed on the day of his wedding day on November 25, 2006. The undercover cops claimed Sean was with a guy who was a suspect for carrying a firearm. Observing that, the undercover cops approached Bell's vehicle without identifying themselves and then bell drove off not knowing who was approaching his car. The vehicle then stopped and the undercover cop screamed gun and started firing 50 rounds at the car hitting Sean Bell 50 times, and his friend who was in his car Guzman (31 y.o.) was shot 19 times[25] and Benefield (23 y.o.), who was in the back seat, was hit three times.
