Likely.

People seem to think frequently, (I blame the LFS's) because they're
"pretty" and gentle looking, they're not going to be nasty. Besides with a
name like "angel", how can they be? Angels are cichlids, and prone to
cichlid behavior. I'd be almost certain that the neons were dinner.

Aren't small tetras like neons the angel's natural food? I seem to
recall that angels came from the same region as the South American Tetras.

A good general rule of thumb is "any fish will eat any other fish that it
can get into its mouth".
Exceptions abound, but it's a good phrase if you are new to fishkeeping.
