The grand jury met Tuesday after Taylor County offices were closed Thursday because of poor road conditions.

According to an earlier report, Abilene police were called to the 1200 block of Yeoman's Road in east Abilene, near Craig Middle School the weekend before Thanksgiving.

A male was found "deceased from apparent trauma" in the parking lot of an apartment complex, the report stated. He had been shot once.

The victim was identified as Mishele, 24.

Neely was sought in the crime and located the following day. He was returned to Abilene and remains jailed.
