Fort Collins Police Services have arrested a suspect for attempted murder following a Sept. 16 incident, according to a Sept. 21 press release.

“Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Detective Dollie Knab at 970-416-2195 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers of Larimer County at 970-221-6868.”

The press release said the incident occurred along the 1800 block of North College Avenue at 11:11 p.m. Sept. 16, in which officers responded to a disturbance call in a parking lot. 

“Upon arrival, they located the victim, a 56-year-old man, who had been stabbed,” the press release said. “He was transported to an area hospital for treatment of serious injuries.” 

The suspect, who did not know the victim, according to the press release, has been identified as Fort Collins resident David McWhorter, 29. McWhorter was booked into the Larimer County Jail Sept. 17 under the class 2 felony charge of attempted first-degree murder.  

“Based on the investigation, detectives determined that a male suspect had approached the victim, and a disturbance occurred,” the press release said. “The suspect reportedly chased the victim across the street and stabbed him.” 

According to the press release, the suspect was located by police near where the incident took place and was also transported to a hospital for “an injury that required medical attention.” McWhorter was booked after his release from the hospital. 

Several witnesses have been interviewed by FCPS already, the press release said. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Detective Dollie Knab at 970-416-2195 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers of Larimer County at 970-221-6868.
