The shooting happened at the Speedway on Battleground Avenue on July 1, where they found Grant with gunshot wounds. Surveillance video shows Bell pulled out a gun at the convenience store of the gas station and demanded money from Grant. Witnesses said they heard Grant refuse to hand over any money before gunfire rang out.
In the moments after the shooting, police said Bell hopped a nearby fence and ran to his home on the 2900 block of Martha’s Place. K-9 units tracked Bell to that location where police found the murder weapon and a stolen phone stashed in the front of the driveway. Bell lives in the home with his brother and his mother Tina, who was confrontational with police as they arrived at the home, denying her children lived at the residence, GPD officials said.
Avion and his brother are known by Greensboro police and have known gang associations. Bell has multiple criminal incidents on his rap sheet, including armed robbery, GPD officials said.
