Kevin Neal was 20 when he was killed in a shooting near Hampton University on the evening of October 19, 2016. Police found three men with gunshot wounds in the first block of Mariners Cove Road; Neal, a Hampton resident, was pronounced dead at the scene and two others were taken to hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries.

Investigators concluded that two suspects had approached one of the surviving victims to attempt a robbery, which escalated into an exchange of gunfire between that victim and the suspects. All three men were struck during the confrontation. A 20-year-old from Newport News, McCardeous Markell Askew, was arrested in connection with the homicide and charged with attempted robbery, maiming, two counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony, and shooting into an occupied dwelling.
