Former boxing champion O'Neil “SuperNova” Bell, 41, was shot to death during a robbery just after midnight on November 25 when he exited a MARTA bus in southwest Atlanta. Another robbery suspect victim getting off the same bus was also shot in the hip but is alive, according to 11 Alive in Atlanta.

When police arrived on the scene, they found both gunshot victims lying in the street. Bell, a cruiserweight world boxing champion from Jamaica who fought professionally from 1998 through 2011, was pronounced dead at the scene. The surviving male victim, 28, was taken to Grady Hospital with a gunshot wound to his hip.

So, this boxer I never heard of was trying to rob somebody and that somebody pumped lead into him and his partner in crime?

And the “journalist” is trying to shroud the fact that he was a thug in a bunch of lame, incomprehensible words?

Is that about right?

SW Atlanta is a very dangerous place to be at Noon much less at night. I would not go there with a police escort. I have to drive through there on an expressway to pick Mr. GG2 up at the airport in Jan and I am already dreading it. His plane gets back in at 11:00PM. He’s afraid to ride MARTA out to the burbs late at night because he will be unarmed.

World champion boxer riding the bus? Didn’t make or failed to hold onto money?

Boy, it seems that some people just cannot hang onto money that they make. He must have made enough to cover a normal lifestyle forever, but here he is sticking people up. Some people just are not equipped for this world, I guess.

From another article:

"Atlanta Police Sgt. Warren Pickard says 41-year-old O'Neil Bell was gunned down Wednesday morning. Pickard says Bell and another person were shot while getting off a bus before two suspects robbed them. Bell was pronounced dead at the scene in southwest Atlanta."
