Police Seeking Well Known Suspect For Timroy Neal Murder
posted (December 16, 2019)
On Friday's news, we told you about the ruthless street execution of 28-year-old Timroy Neal, a resident of Roaring Creek Village.

Surveillance cameras from the Lucky Entertainment Store in Roaring Creek captured the entire murder which happened at around 10:00 last Thursday night. He was walking toward the store when a gunman arrived on a motorcycle. That assailant ran up behind him and shot him before he could react. When he fell to the pavement, the shooter then immediately took the opportunity to shoot him 6 more times before fleeing the scene.

Although the entire crime was caught on camera, that footage by itself is not enough to help police find out who Neal's killer was. Here's what police had to say about it at today's press briefing:

Jules Vasquez- Reporter
"I know you have security video and I understand the suspect had on a helmet but is there anything police are able to get from the very clear video? Is there anything? Any identification of the motorcycle that then person was on?"

ACP Joseph Myvette- Head of NCIB
"Well, we are following several leads and we are looking for one person in relation to this investigation."

Jules Vasquez
"And the suspect, we know that the victim was a man whose name was called in many murder scenarios over the years. Might it have been an act of retaliation or was it just an ongoing beef or bad blood?"

ACP Joseph Myvette
"At this time we do not have a motive other than to say that both the victim and the person who we are seeking are both known to the police."

Neal was the father of 2 children.
