Daniel Penny, Man Who Put Jordan Neely in Fatal Chokehold, Will Reportedly Be Charged

Daniel Penny, the 24-year-old man who put Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold on a subway car in New York City will be charged this week, NBC 4 New York reports sources as saying.

The medical examiner previously determined that Neely’s death, which occurred on May 1 at the Broadway-Lafayette station, was a homicide. 

On May 5, Penny released a statement on the incident that has been widely criticized.

Neely’s death and the length of time it’s taken for Penny to be charged and arrested sparked a wave of protests that saw several people being detained by the police.
