Two Atlanta-area high school basketball coaches have been charged with second-degree murder after the heat-related death of a 16-year-old in August 2019, according to court records.
Imani Bell was a junior at Elite Scholars Academy in Clayton County and played varsity girls' basketball. She was participating in mandatory conditioning drills outdoors in"extreme heat" on the afternoon she collapsed after running up the football stadium steps, according to a lawsuit filed in February by attorneys for the Bell family.
Bell family attorney Justin Miller added that it was a"landmark day" for these kinds of cases."To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time in history that, in a case like this, that murder charges have been brought against the coaches, who were negligent," Miller said. Miller said the purpose of the lawsuit is to make sure this doesn't happen to any other children.
