Bell was killed on the morning before his wedding, and two of his friends, Trent Benefield and Joseph Guzman, were severely wounded. The incident sparked fierce criticism of the New York City Police Department from members of the public and drew comparisons to the 1999 killing of Amadou Diallo.

  • Il caso Sean Bell riguarda l'uccisione a New York (Stati Uniti) di Sean Bell, ventiduenne afroamericano colpito mortalmente nelle prime ore del 25 novembre 2006 dai colpi di pistola di alcuni agenti in abito borghese.L'incidente avvenne nel Queens, all'uscita di un locale di striptease dove Bell si trovava per il proprio addio al celibato in compagnia di due suoi amici, Joseph Guzmán e Trent Benefield, anch'essi vittime del fuoco degli agenti benché non mortalmente colpiti.Tutte e tre le vittime della sparatoria erano disarmate. L'episodio rinfocolò le polemiche sulle brutalità degli agenti di polizia, e l'accaduto fu paragonato a quanto avvenuto sette anni prima con Amadou Diallo in circostanze simili; nel 2008 tre agenti imputati della sparatoria furono assolti; il verdetto fu pesantemente criticato da attivisti storici dei diritti civili come Al Sharpton e Jesse Jackson che pur escludendo sottesi razziali (due dei poliziotti assolti sono afroamericani), sottolinearono come la polizia avesse perso di credibilità e come la sentenza fosse solo un «simulacro di giustizia».
