DaVonte’ Neal, an Idaho State assistant football coach, has been charged with felony first-degree murder in Arizona.

According to reports from the Idaho State Journal and ESPN, the arrest was on May 25 in Idaho, and Neal remains in Bannock County jail pending extradition to Arizona, records show. The alleged shooting took place in 2017, according to Pocatello Police.

The charge is 1 count of first-degree murder, a class 1 felony; 1 count of drive by shooting, a class 2 felony; and 1 count of discharging a firearm at a structure; a class two felony.

Pocatello police said Neal was indicted by a grand jury in Maricopa County on May 16.

Neal was arrested after Pocatello police were contacted by detectives in Maricopa County and asked if they could check on his location, police said.

Neal, who joined the team in January with the rest of the Bengals’ new coaching staff, was arrested on May 25 on Union Pacific Avenue by Pocatello police on an extradition warrant from Arizona’s Maricopa County, which includes the metropolitan Phoenix area.

ISU confirmed in an email Wednesday evening that Neal has been placed on administrative leave and the school has initiated proceedings to terminate his contract.

Neal no longer appears on the ISU football roster on the school’s website.

“I have been in constant contact with (ISU head coach Charlie Ragle) who has known DaVonte’ for many years and never had any knowledge or suspicion of a possible crime of any kind,” ISU Athletic Director Pauline Thiros told the Journal via text. “The news of DaVonte’ Neal’s arrest and charges in Arizona was a great shock. Going forward, we will cooperate in every way possible, safeguard our program and culture, support each other and our students, and allow the legal process to work. The news is devastating and we hope for resolution for all involved.
