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.

CU STUDENT INSTALLATIONS TO HELP ENGAGE COMMUNITY IN UNIVERSITY HILL DEVELOPMENT
Jun 1st
The temporary installations will serve as the basis of a community charrette, an intense planning and design collaboration, from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. on June 3. The event is part of the International Town & Gown Association conference and is cosponsored by the city of Boulder.
“We take great pride in partnering with the city to provide opportunities for students to solve real-world problems,” said Frank Bruno, vice chancellor for administration. “The ability of our students to connect and engage the University Hill community through this interdisciplinary project is truly remarkable and can result in progress for the neighborhood.”
Charrette participants will explore revitalization ideas for University Hill that encompass the education, research and community service resources of CU-Boulder and the vibrant culture of the area as a commercial and residential district, according to organizers.
The project stems from a CU-Boulder Maymester course called Finding Ground. The student works include two interactive survey boards, two tables and 25 hammocks, all for public use.
“The installations are meant to bring people together to explore ideas for community connectedness and the overall use of public space,” said Finding Ground student Richard Mapes, a senior in architecture. “It’s amazing to see so many groups working to positively change the course of University Hill.”
Students carried out mapping exercises, interviews, precedent studies and presentations. They also conceptualized, designed and built the installations.
“We are excited about the close collaboration we’ve had with the university in preparing for this event, and look forward to learning more about the students’ work and their creative ideas during Friday’s charrette,” said David Driskell, executive director of Community Planning and Sustainability for the city of Boulder. “University Hill is a unique Boulder neighborhood, where the university and community literally come together. This course and Friday’s activities are just one example of how we can work together to make the Hill a vibrant and successful place that is welcoming for everybody.”
Students also maintained a group blog and developed a quick response code, which is displayed on three project information signs located on University Hill. It also will be stenciled in chalk on University Hill sidewalks. Visitors with the appropriate cellular phone technology can scan the QR code to be linked to the project website for more information.
