TEXARKANA (KSLA) — A Texarkana family wanted to say thank you to a detective who solved a cold case.
The family of John Neal Jr. held a balloon release Monday (July 31) in the same location where his body was found.
You may remember that Neal died from a shooting in 2018. Police then found his body inside a burned car.
Last week, we gave you the First Alert that police arrested a man suspected of Neal’s death.
Detective Thomas Shaddix said he took a personal interest in the case and worked until he found a suspect.
