Robert Hopkins Jr., 43 and a resident of Bethel Island, was shot and killed on July 19, 2017, outside a Baskin Robbins on Century Boulevard in Pittsburg, California. The encounter escalated and Neal fired five close-range shots; Hopkins tried to flee but died of his injuries.

Court testimony and security-camera footage shown at trial reportedly captured Hopkins running toward Neal and his girlfriend, then Neal standing and opening fire. Hopkins was found with tools and a closed pocketknife in his overalls and reportedly had methamphetamine in his system. Neal was charged with murder and additional illegal firearm-possession counts because he was prohibited from having a gun due to a prior armed robbery conviction. The defense presented a claim of self-defense, saying Neal shot to protect himself, his girlfriend and their unborn child.

Does anyone have additional information about the security footage or witnesses who were nearby that afternoon?
