Boulder police arrest suspect in attempted murder case
Aug 4th
Police in Boulder have arrested a 27-year-old man on suspicion of attempted second-degree murder after a 28-year-old male victim was attacked early this morning in the University Hill area.
Jeffrey Carter Neering (DOB 7/27/1984) is suspected of cutting the throat of Jason Patrick Chilson of Denver, who was in Boulder to visit friends. Witnesses told police that an altercation took place between Neering and a friend of the victim at K’s China restaurant, located at 1325 Broadway, sometime after 2:00 a.m. Restaurant employees broke up the altercation and told everyone to leave.
After they left the restaurant, Chilson and his two friends were walking near The Goose when a man — believed to be Neering — jumped on Chilson’s back and cut his throat. Chilson’s friend was trying to defend him when bouncers from The Goose intervened and broke everyone apart. Neering then ran away.
Witnesses at K’s China identified Neering and told investigators that he was a regular at the restaurant. Police attempted to contact Neering at his last known address; however he was no longer living there. Police located Neering later Thursday morning at an apartment Neering had vacated some time ago. He had broken into it and spent the night there. Neering will be charged with first-degree criminal trespass in addition to the other charge mentioned above.
Neering has been positively identified by the victim and the witnesses involved in this case. He is in custody at the Boulder County Jail and his bond was set at $250,000.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Detective Ruth Christopher at 303-441-1850.

Boulder Police investigate attempted child abduction: Sketch
May 24th
After numerous witness interviews with adults and children, Boulder police have revised the suspect description from the reported attempted child abduction incident that happened earlier this week near 9th Street and Mapleton. Shortly after 3:00 p.m. on May 23, three elementary school aged boys were getting off a school bus and were approached by a black male who asked them to go to Denver with him. The boys said the man grabbed one of them by the arm, but the boy was able to free himself and the boys ran away.
Initially it was reported that the male had shoulder-length dreadlocks. After further investigation, detectives have determined that the man has close-cut dark hair, not dreadlocks. The attached sketch has been confirmed by two adult witnesses.
The man was wearing a yellow/blue/gray striped shirt, black pants and black athletic shoes. Updated vehicle information indicates that the suspect may be driving a green Jeep with a black top.
On Monday, May 23, at approximately 3:10 p.m., as three elementary school aged boys were getting off their school bus in the area of 9th Street and Mapleton Avenue, they were approached by a suspicious black male. The male began walking behind them andattempted to engage the boys in conversation. The boys ignored the male and continued walking southbound on 9th Street. The male persisted in engaging the boys in conversation and tried to entice them to go with him to Denver by asking them to have a cheeseburger with him. At one point, the male grabbed one of the boys by his arm. The boy was able to struggle free and the boys ran to 9th and Pearl streets. They looked back and noticed the male had entered a green Jeep with a brown top. The Jeep is possibly a Wrangler.
None of the boys was hurt during this incident.
The suspect is described as a black male with shoulder-length dreadlocks. He was wearing a yellow/blue/gray striped shirt, black pants and dirty, black shoes. The male spoke with some type of accent.
Boulder police have notified the Boulder Valley School District officials and security. In addition, the police will be providing extra patrols at the schools and the surrounding areas.
Investigators are seeking the public’s help in identifying the suspect and/or his vehicle.
The report number for this incident is 11-6376.
