The shooting happened just after 12:30 a.m. on the 900 block of NE 125th Street. According to police, someone drove up and the passenger got out of the car and shot Bell multiple times.

North Miami Police said that multiple suspects were possibly seen leaving the scene in a dark colored vehicle with a spoiler on the rear, or a light colored car.

“At this time, we don’t have a motive but we can tell you that nothing was taken. He had jewelry on him, money on him, his car keys, so we’re looking for why this happened,” said North Miami public information officer Neil Cuevas.

According to the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Bell had appeared on HBO’s Def Poetry Jam recently. Bell was known as “Da Real One,” and had also been featured on Rick Ross’ and Pit Bull’s albums.

"I'm sorry: did I miss any clichés there?"

His sister said that he was a good man who didn't deserve this.

Real helpful witneses. The suspects left in a dark colored car with a spoiler or a light colored car. I guess it is real hard to tell the difference.

This overt racism against vehicles sickens me. WHEN will the media disperse with the bigoty of labeling cars as "colored'?

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To write my name in yellow snow.

I've always been a sucka for the classics.

We're applauding this as poetic justice.

My bitch better have my money
Through rain, sleet, or snow
My whore better have my money
Not half, not some, but all my cash
‘Cause if she don’t,
I’m gonna put my foot dead in her ass.

The male or female suspects fled in a dark or light colored car that may or may not have had a wing on it. They only thing police in Miami are sure of it was an AK-47 used in the attack.

Perhaps it was the work of the dreaded Haiku Hitman:

You got my sister pregnant
My gun's loaded, too.

Somebody in Miami was apparently “waxing” poetic.

The world’s shortest poem is titled “Fleas” - “Adam had ‘em.”

I think that honor goes to Ogden Nash’s self titled poem “Terse verse”.

That narrows it down a lot. Should be easy to find.

There is a great poet - a real one - who lives in Miami. His name is Ricardo Pau-Llosa. I encourage everyone to go to his website.
