Bell’s vehicle was later found by deputies that evening around 11:15 p.m., at the QP Gas Station, 704 N. Scenic Highway, in Lake Wales. Witnesses, along with supporting evidence found in the vehicle, revealed that Tramel drove Bell’s vehi-

I com- mend our detectives for their diligent work on this case and helping bring justice to Tyrell Bell’s family. It is our hope that this violent criminal re- mains behind bars for the rest of his life.
