Crime Stoppers offers reward on who killed Detroit man in 2017 firebombing

It has been nearly four years since the murder of a young Detroit man in a firebombing. Kenny Neal's family is still waiting for justice and on Wednesday asked the public for help.

Family and friends of Neal spoke at Crime Stoppers offering a $2,500 reward for information leading to an arrest in his murder.

It was just before 2 a.m. Aug. 3, 2017 when the home Neal was in, was firebombed in the 14000 block of Cruse on the city's west side. He was only 24 years old.

"He was a dad, he was a great person, and now he's gone," said Patricia Neal, Kenny's mother.

Kenny Neal had two children, he graduated from high school, worked part-time at Comerica Park and Ford Field, and wanted to be a chiropractor someday.

His girlfriend was pulled out of a window and suffered burns and a broken ankle - but survived.
