Ineka Edmondson was 22 and from Compton when she was murdered on November 11, 2003. Her body was found inside her parked car in an industrial area of La Habra; she had been shot three times in the head. Investigators identified her boyfriend, Cimarron Bell, as the primary suspect. Bell and Edmondson had been involved together in a check-cashing scheme, and Bell believed she had reported stolen checks to police so she could gain sole access to bank accounts.

Bell was later charged in connection with Edmondson’s killing and with three additional murders. The prosecution argued financial motive and alleged Edmondson was killed out of greed and mistrust. The jury convicted Bell of first-degree murder with special circumstances, finding multiple murders and murder for financial gain, and he was sentenced to death.
