Courtney LaAceondra Bell, 23, was shot dead on April 30, 2013, at the Red Carpet Inn on Gordon Highway in Augusta after an argument with a man who pulled a handgun and fired multiple times. She suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head.

Surveillance footage from the motel and eyewitness accounts identified 29-year-old Jabali Howard as the suspect. Howard was arrested and charged with murder, aggravated assault, and weapons violations. He was on probation at the time for three unrelated assault convictions, and a new warrant for his arrest had been issued the day of the shooting; he was denied bond at a May 10, 2013 court appearance and held pending indictment and trial.

A 20-year prison sentence followed in the legal proceedings for Bell’s death. Does anyone have information about Bell’s life in Augusta or witnessed events at the Red Carpet Inn that night?
