Jewell Belote, 50, was one of the victims of the GMAC massacre in Jacksonville, Florida. The attacker, James Edward Pough, carried out a shooting rampage over two days beginning June 17, 1990; on June 18 he entered the General Motors Acceptance Corporation office armed with a .30-caliber semi-automatic rifle and a .38-caliber pistol and opened fire on employees. Belote was found beneath her desk with severe chest and arm wounds, was rushed to hospital, and died of her injuries on June 27, 1990.

Pough’s spree began the day before with shootings on Jacksonville’s Northside that killed two people and wounded two teenagers; investigators noted Pough had personal and financial stress and considered anger over a repossessed car as a possible motive, though they said the exact reasons remain unclear. The GMAC office was later relocated and support was offered to victims and families.
