On Friday, South Yorkshire Police found a burnt out white BMW 1 Series near White Cross Lane, Doncaster, and believe the car was used in the shooting.
Officers continue to appeal for anyone with dashcam footage which may help in their inquiry to get in touch.
On Saturday afternoon, relatives and friends of Mr Bell walked two miles from the boxing gym where he trained to the pub, where floral tributes and signed boxing gloves were placed outside.
Tracy Langley, his mother, said the family had been "torn to pieces" by her son's death.
