Arrest in shooting of 9 at Feltonville nightclub
Nearly six months after nine people were shot outside of the Felton Supper Club, police have arrested one of the men who is believed to be responsible for the bloodshed.
Montana Bell, 20, of Adams Avenue near Orthodox Street, was arrested yesterday and charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and related offenses, police said. Bell's arrest was the result of an "extensive" investigation that included the cooperation of key witnesses, according to police.
The shooting occurred around 2:45 a.m. May 22 as hundreds of people poured out of the Felton Supper Club on Rising Sun Avenue and Louden Street in Feltonville, police said.
Bell and another, as of yet, unidentified man, fired 18 rounds outside of the club for reasons that remain unclear, police said.
Injured in the hail of gunfire were five women and four men ages 19 to 35. All of the victims, including a 23-year-old man who was shot five times in the back and legs, survived.

Since Montana thinks he is the wild west by shooting up the place, "wild west justice" in the form of a tree, horse and a rope should be dispensed!— HappyBob- Just another fine job by an outstanding investigative team.....— willy0125
- There's much more to this story. This guy was arrested TWO (or even three) other times between the shooting and the actual arrest for the shooting. Those arrests were for aggravated assault, carrying a firearm w/o license, car theft, fleeing the police, drug possession, and oh yeah, MURDER. So why was this guy on the street?

http://ujsportal.pacourts.us/DocketSheets/CP.aspx - His mother must be so proud. Wasted money on ink, wasted money on an illegal gun and its bullets just to finally waste his life in prison. 20 years old and already done!— unbelieveable!
- If only we could go back twenty years and hand his dad a condom. Well hopefully he didn't procreate.— lostinthebigcity
- He looks innocent. His mother said "he is a good boy and doesn't deserve to go to jail".— Kaiser Sosa
- If you dress Montana up in a suit and tie, Montana could pass for Vince Fumo with a suntan but now they can dress like twins in prison gear.— nativeamericaneagle
