Grand Jury Declines Indictment in Fatal Shooting

TYLER — A Smith County grand jury has no-billed 65-year-old Fredy Neal in the fatal shooting of 31-year-old Michael Caldwell (pictured) outside a Walgreens on January 3. Officials say Caldwell and his girlfriend were asked to leave IHOP on the West Loop due to a disturbance. Police were then called by a driver who said the two were out in traffic, with Caldwell chasing cars on foot. The two then reportedly entered the nearby Walgreens and became disruptive. A verbal altercation ensued in the parking lot, with Neal shooting Caldwell in the chest, later saying he feared for his life.
