Former undisputed boxing champion O'Neil Bell shot to death in street robbery

Former cruiserweight boxing champion O'Neil Bell was shot to death by robbers in an Atlanta neighborhood early Wednesday morning.

O'Neil Bell, one of only two "undisputed" cruiserweight champions in boxing's history, was killed in a Wednesday morning robbery in Atlanta, Georgia. The native of Jamaica was just 40 years old. Atlanta Journal-Constitution has more details on this tragedy, including the vehicle description and the number of suspects.

Atlanta police said Wednesday's robbery appeared to be a motive in the fatal shooting and authorities are seeking the public's help in finding Bell's killers.

Police believe four males may be involved in the shooting.
