Jamaican boxer O'Neil Bell killed in Atlanta

Former Jamaican boxing champion O’neil Bell is dead.

The 41 year old was killed early Wednesday morning in Southwest Atlanta, where he was gunned down, police said, by a pair of robbers who left him dead in the middle of the road.

Atlanta police said Wednesday’s robbery appeared to be a motive in the fatal shooting and authorities are seeking the public’s help in finding Bell’s killers.

He held the WBA, WBC and IBF Cruiserweight boxing titles, amassing a record of 26 wins, 3 losses and one draw during a 13 year career that ended in 2011.

Initially fighting under the moniker ‘Give ‘em Hell’, Bell, later changed his nickname to ‘Supernova’.
