Michael Anthony Neblett was 24 when he was found with a fatal gunshot wound in the 300 block of Roseman Court in Newport News, Virginia, on December 23, 2021. Rushed to a nearby hospital, he died of his injuries. Known as Neb among friends and family, he was a passionate skateboarder and volunteered mentoring at-risk youth.

Investigators say the shooting followed a prearranged meeting. Michael arranged to sell marijuana to 17-year-old Essonie Soni Lennon. A witness identified Lennon in a photo lineup, and Lennon was arrested a few days later.

Family and friends remembered Michael as the dreamer of the family, a bright presence who was a son, brother, uncle, friend and mentor. Does anyone who knew Michael or who was in that neighborhood that day have information that could help fill in what happened?
