Former World Boxing Council, International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Association champion, O’Neil Bell was gunned down in Atlanta by robbers.
A US media report stated that the erstwhile champion was shot after getting off a city bus shortly after midnight on Wednesday morning and that robbery appeared to be a motive.
Police told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that no arrests have been made but they are looking for up to four males. Police are also searching for a 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser which was reportedly stolen Tuesday night.
The Jamaica-born former Cruiserweight champion finished his 13-year career with a record of 27 wins, four losses, one draw and 25 Knockouts.
