Bell was killed in the early morning of November 25, 2006 leaving his bachelor party at Club Kalua in Queens, just hours before he as scheduled to marry in the church where his funeral was held.

Earth explained that one of the missions of his organization it to create dialogue between the police and the community. "Obviously don't understand things," he said, "so we have to translate for them."
