He was ahead on the scorecards before Garcia stopped him in the 11th round. In 2005, Wells got shot at a rematch with Garcia and lost via TKO in the 9th.
He attempted a comeback on the 3rd season of the boxing reality TV series, The Contender on ESPN, but was eliminated before the competition began.
Death
Rhoshii Wells was shot and killed in Las Vegas, Nevada on August 11, 2008. Police arrested 26-year-old Roger Randolph, who claimed that he shot Wells in self-defense after Wells punched him and robbed him of $100. The District Attorney stated that they would seek the death penalty against Randolph.
In May 2012, Randolph was sentenced to 20 years to life for murder with a deadly weapon, plus one to 12 years for discharging weapon where a person might be endangered.
