The following is from the Wikipedia page, “Killing of Jordan Neely”:
“On May 1, 2023, in New York City, Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old homeless American man, died after Daniel Penny, a 24-year-old United States Marine Corps veteran, put him in a chokehold. Neely boarded a New York City Subway train at the Second Avenue station just before it departed and reportedly began screaming that he was hungry, thirsty, and needed a job, saying that he was not afraid of going to prison and was “ready to die,” threatening people. Juan Alberto Vázquez, a freelance journalist who witnessed the incident, said that Neely removed his jacket and aggressively threw it to the floor, in response to which, other passengers moved away from him. Vázquez said that he did not witness Neely assaulting anybody. Other witnesses reported fearing death from Neely’s actions, which included his throwing trash at other passengers and approaching people. Penny then approached Neely from behind and put him in a chokehold.”
“On December 6, 2024, Judge Wiley dismissed the manslaughter charge against Penny following a jury deadlock. Penny was found not guilty of the remaining charge of criminally negligent homicide on December 9.”
