- Prosecutors allege Neal shot the victim and left the scene; those allegations are part of the charges now filed against him.
- Police arrested Neal more than a month after the June shooting following an investigation, and prosecutors have scheduled pretrial hearings to assess probable cause and move toward a preliminary exam.
- The case remains in the early court stage, the victim has not been publicly named in reports, and the charges are allegations that prosecutors must prove at upcoming hearings.
