What was the Motive!! You know so tell us!!
The moments leading up to McNeil's death remain unclear. NOPD Superintendent Michael Harrison, addressing reporters outside University Medical Center, said McNeil and three other officers were on patrol when they "saw something that aroused their suspicion" about 12:15 a.m. near Cindy Place and Interstate 10 Service Road. The officers encountered a man who opened fire, Harrison said, mortally wounding McNeil. At least one of the officers returned fire, hitting the suspect. Harrison said the suspect hid inside an apartment but later surrendered to authorities.
