Now police believe they know what happened to Neal. Quanzell Alonzo Hood, 20, of Detroit (pictured below at left) was charged with first degree murder and felony murder in Neal’s death, according to the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office.

Police allege that Hood brutally beat Neal to death because of his lottery winnings.

“It is alleged that Hood knew the victim, believed the victim was in possession of a sum of money, and beat the victim to death during the larceny or attempted larceny of that money,” said a statement from the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office.

An autopsy revealed that Neal’s body also had several stab wounds.

The strange part of the case is that it’s still unclear if Neal had actually won the lottery.

Police are still trying to determine if Neal claimed a winning lottery ticket.

“Nobody knows for sure that its true. Police don’t have proof of him winning the lottery,” Hall told NewsOne.

The news is even more sad for Hall and her family because she had recently reconnected with her grandfather.

“We just got back in contact with him the past few years,” said Hall. “We were getting closer.”
