Tonya Davis Bell, 42, was shot and killed inside her Southside Court home in Nashville’s Edgehill neighborhood on the evening of June 24, 2018, following a heated argument with her husband, Cleveland Lamont Bell. He later contacted a friend who drove him back to the residence and alerted Metro Nashville Police Department. Officers found Tonya deceased at the scene.

Cleveland Bell, 45 at the time, turned himself in and admitted to shooting his wife; he was arrested and charged with criminal homicide and held without bond. Tonya was remembered as a mother to Tana Burgett and Jamari Bell and a daughter of Mattie Britton; her funeral was held at Pleasant Green Church in Nashville.

Anyone who knew Tonya or has information about the case is asked to come forward.
