Police Shooting Survivor Describes Sean Bell’s Last Moments

HeadlineApr 02, 2008

The trial of three New York police officers for the killing of Sean Bell continued Tuesday with emotional testimony from one of the survivors. Joseph Guzman, hit sixteen times in the shooting that killed the unarmed Bell on his wedding night, described Bell’s last words as he lay bleeding from the nineteen wounds caused by police bullets. Guzman says Bell told him he loved him before drawing his last breath. For their final witness, prosecutors today are expected to question the doctor who operated on Guzman after he was shot.
