A domestic dispute in Pontiac, Michigan, ended in homicide on May 11, 2018, when 36-year-old William Spencer Bell was found shot multiple times on a sofa in his Lydia Lane home. Police say a woman called 911 late that Friday and admitted to shooting her boyfriend, telling dispatch the gun remained inside and that she would wait outside. Officers arrived just before midnight, found the caller, Marita Glynise Talley, 34, outside and took her into custody without incident. Investigators located several spent shell casings near Bell’s body.

Talley was charged with first-degree murder, felon in possession of a firearm, and felony firearms violations. Records cited in the case show she had a prior conviction for assault with a dangerous weapon. Does anyone have information about William Bell, his life in Pontiac, or the events that night?
