Breakthrough in fatal Davenport stabbing probe as Ryan McNeiece charged with murder over year later

A 39-year-old Davenport man has been arrested in connection with a fatal stabbing.

Police took Ryan McNeiece into custody on Aug. 27.

He was charged with first-degree murder.

McNeiece was also charged with going armed with intent.

The arrest stems from a deadly stabbing that happened in July 2025.

Emergency personnel originally responded to the 200 block of East 37th Street.

Police said officers, firefighters and medics were dispatched to the scene for a report of a possible stabbing.

When crews arrived, they found 54-year-old Joseph J. Padilla II.

Padilla was suffering from apparent stab wounds.

He was taken to a local hospital.

But Padilla later died from his injuries.

A homicide investigation remained open for more than a year.

Then investigators arrested McNeiece in connection with his death.

He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Sept. 4.

The investigation remains ongoing.

The charges are allegations and have not been proven in court.
