The day after he was to walk down the aisle and marry the mother of his two children, 23-year-old Sean Bell instead had a funeral ceremony. Shot outside a strip club by New York City police, much outrage is being expressed concerning the incident which also left two men wounded.

The heated crowd chanted “No justice, no peace.” Some yelled that Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly should be removed. Community leaders and family members are seeking answers from the police department about the incident, especially about why officers fired as many as 50 rounds at the unarmed group as they left Bell’s bachelor party in a car.

The officers’ shots struck the men’s car 21 times after the vehicle rammed into an undercover officer and hit an unmarked NYPD minivan. The wild gunfire hit nearby homes and shattered windows at a train station, though no residents were injured. Police thought one of the men in the car might have had a gun. But investigators found no weapons (said the New York Daily News).

Kelly said the incident stemmed from an undercover operation inside the strip club in the Jamaica section of Queens. Seven officers in plain clothes were investigating the Kalua Cabaret; five of them were involved in the shooting. According to Kelly, the groom was involved in a verbal dispute outside the club after 4 a.m.

Kelly said the establishment had a “chronic history of narcotics, prostitution and weapons complaints” and had been closed by authorities for three months last year. A policy that allows officers from the organized crime control unit to consume alcohol on the job is being questioned and scrutinized. Some wonder whether that was a factor in this particular shooting.

Bell and his fiancee were the parents of two children, a 3-year-old and a 5-month-old. Sadly these children will be without their father. It is equally disheartening to consider where Bell chose to have his bachelor party. Undoubtedly he didn't win his wife-to-be by attending strip clubs. Instead of losing her for doing so, he lost his own life for being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
