Race : White
Date : 03/17/2023
Location : Division St+Harlan Ave
City : Evansville
County : Vanderburgh
State : Indiana
Agency : Vanderburgh County SO
Officer(s) :Unknown
Cause of Death : Vehicle
Event : Killed by police chase crash
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Special task force officers saw Bell in what they felt was a drug transaction and they escalated a chase that ended at Division Street and Harlan Avenue when she crashed into an overpass and died. She had been a mother of three. Police allege they found half a gram of fentanyl in her possession after her death. Video of the event cannot be found and is unlikely to have been released as this was an undercover drug sting. Considering the involvement of a special drug task force, it is further questioned whether she was hunted by a marked cruiser or a civilian unmarked detective car and whether she knew who was chasing her.
