Aurora Police Oversight and Reforms – Neely Criminal and Civil Cases

Officer Matthew Neely remains charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter in Rajon Belt-Stubblefield's fatal August 2025 shooting. A Brady disclosure could affect 17 pending cases, while Belt-Stubblefield's family's lawsuit and protests demanding Chief Todd Chamberlain's removal continue to drive accountability and transparency concerns; the city manager has publicly rejected the firing demands.
