SLINGER - A Slinger High School junior continues to fight for her
life after being shot in the head Saturday night.
On May 3, Nicole Sell was the victim of a drive-by shooting after
leaving her job at Casa Rebecca with two co-workers in the town of
West Bend.
Surrounded by friends and family, Sell’s aunt, Kim Schlise,
gave an update on the 16-year-old’s condition during a Thursday
news conference in Fireman’s Park. Nicole’s mother, Kristine,
remains at her daughter’s bedside at Children’s Hospital in
Wauwatosa. Sell is in a medically induced coma, Schlise said.
Schlise pleaded for anyone who might know something about the
incident to come forward. She also requested for the family to be
left alone so it can focus on Nicole.
At about 11 p.m. Saturday Sell was struck in the head by a bullet
when several shots where fired at a car while she was asleep in the
back seat. The car was driven by Sell’s boyfriend, Justin Towne of
Slinger. Towne and passenger Scott Cecil, both 17-year-old Slinger
High School students, were uninjured.
