COVINGTON, (March 21, 2024) — Body camera footage was released Thursday of a suspect who was fatally shot by Covington police after officers say he “came at” them with a knife in the early morning of March 14, according to Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney Rob Sanders.

Sanders identifies the suspect as Charles Neace, 34, of Elsmere.

Officers responded to Cambridge Square Apartments on Promontory Drive shortly after 1:30 a.m. after receiving a report of an attempted burglary in progress with a male suspect armed with a knife beating on the door of an apartment,” Lt. Justin Bradbury with Covington police.

According to the video shown, once officers arrived, they were heard saying, “Drop the knife, drop the knife,” as Neace is seen walking out of the residence with a knife in his hand.

Man killed in police-involved shooting ‘should still be in prison,’ prosecutor says
“Get down on the ground. We want to get you help,” officers said as they were about 12 to 20 feet away from him.

Sanders says Covington Officer Shawn Sinacori and Specialist Brad Morris fired a total of 12 times, but Neace was hit nine times.

He explains that the shooting was justified and that he does not plan on presenting the case to the grand jury.

“Police officers have every right to defend themselves just like everyone else in the community. If someone is going to be foolish enough to provoke an armed confrontation like Neace did, they can expect the same result,” Sanders said.

Covington Police Captain Joshua Bornhorn says Neace tried to break into one of the apartments.

That is when Neace charged at an officer with the knife, and the two officers fired shots at him, Captain Bornhorn said.

Charles Neace’s sister, Sarah Neace, said she thinks her brother was ultimately set up, and she wasn’t fond of someone he associated himself with.

Kentucky State Police are investigating the incident because Covington police do not investigate its officer-involved shootings.

You take one look at his pic (mugshot?) above where he looks like he's been rimming a rusted Tin Man and you know immediately he wasn't "set up." Who's the bitch with the whiny voice off to the side? His accomplice? Why do they never arrest the cunt-sidekick?

Chris Carr tells that Neace was trying to break into his apartment.

“He pulled a knife out, tried to jimmy it in there with the lock,” Carr recalled. “Then he started trying to stab through the glass. I just stood there with a ball bat like ‘bro if you come in I am going to hit you.’”

Luckily, police showed up a minute later, he said.

Sarah Neace, Charles Neace’s sister, said she thinks her brother was ultimately set up, and she wasn’t fond of someone he associated himself with.

She described what she thinks happened: “He was having a mental break while he was on the drugs and I don’t find it very appropriate the way the cops handled it,” Sarah Neace said. “They did not need to kill him.

They did not need to kill him. But, he got what he wanted but he was too afraid to take his own life.

Like I said in a previous phone call, when he was in jail he talked about suicide by cop and he felt like that was his only way out.”

In life there’s always some winners and losers. He seemed more like that latter of the two…
