Justine Bell, 39, was killed in Wichita during the early morning of January 9, 2022, after a party in the 2200 block of East 12th Street North. An argument in the parking lot shortly after 2 a.m. escalated into gunfire; Justine was struck by a single bullet. As people fled, at least one vehicle ran over her while she was injured. She was taken to a local hospital in critical condition and later died from the combination of her injuries.

Investigators initially faced challenges gathering information from the public. In April 2024 authorities arrested Donell James and charged him with felony murder; James was already in federal custody on unrelated drug charges at the time. Justine’s family, a mother of five, said they believe others were involved, especially the driver who struck her, and remain troubled that only one person was charged.

Did anyone at the party or who was in that parking lot that morning see details about who fired or who was driving away?
