Sean Bell was an African-American man who was shot and killed by New York Police detectives on November 25, 2006. During the incident, Sean Bell was leaving a strip club in Jamaica, Queens where he was having his bachelor party. That same day, Sean Bell was supposed to get married to his fiancee. Bell was leaving the club and the undercover officers followed Bell and his friends to their car where Bell was shot without warning. The police officers claimed that they saw another man already in the car who may have been holding a weapon. However, he left the crime scene and the police officers never found the weapon they claimed to have saw. It may be possible that the story told by the police officers was made up in order to justify the shooting so that the officers would not get into trouble. But the initial reports contradict this story because the officers did not search for this man who fled the crime scene. However, whatever the case may be, the final result ended up leaving Sean Bell dead, not to mention that an officer shot at him 31 times, a total of 50 bullets, and there cannot be argument against that. The good news is that investigations are still going on to interview the witnesses and the undercover officers to come to a resolution.
