Dalzell pulled his firearm and pointed it at the driver, at which time the driver pulled his firearm, pointing it at Dalzell.

Dalzell and the driver began firing at each other; the driver was shot in the hand and Dalzell was fatally shot. (Ultram) Neal fled from the vehicle after his firearm was taken.
According to detectives, since Dalzell and Neal executed a plan to rob the two individuals at gunpoint during a pre-arranged drug buy, Neal was charged with second degree murder and robbery with a firearm. He is held on a $100,000 bond at the Marion County Jail.
