Tamecka Smith was an 18-year-old African American woman who was shot to death on December 9, 1993, in a parking lot at a liquor lounge in Jacksonville, Florida. Michael Bell approached a yellow Plymouth that he believed contained Theodore Wright, seeking revenge for the earlier killing of his brother Lamar Bell in a shoot-out with Wright. The car had been sold to Jimmy West; West was in the vehicle with Smith and another woman.

Smith died while being transported to the hospital. Michael Bell was arrested on September 15, 1994, indicted on two counts of first-degree murder, tried in March 1995, convicted of both murders, and sentenced to death on June 2, 1995.

What new information or leads might help clarify why an innocent bystander like Tamecka Smith was in that car that night?
