RIVIERA BEACH – For Glenda Neal, the murder of a 7-year-old boy Wednesday morning in Riviera Beach brought back painful memories.
Neal, whose 28-year-old son, Tommy Neal Jr., was killed in a January 2019 shooting just outside the city limit, said Wednesday s killing occurred only a few blocks from her home.
On Friday evening, she joined other families affected by gun violence for a community outreach event at Wells Recreation Center. Twenty-six Crime Stoppers posters displaying the names and faces of past victims of unsolved homicide cases in the city adorned the fence of a nearby recreation field.
Neal said she was lying in bed watching her security cameras early Wednesday when she noticed several emergency vehicles pass by her home. She later learned of the 7-year-old s murder.
