The Murder of Jordan Neely a 30 year old “black man” (Indigenous) was killed by a 24 year old “white” Ex Marine. Jordan who was a homeless man on the F Train in NYC asking for help (money, or food etc.) he suffers from mental illness was attacked by the ex marine who placed him in a choke hold for 15 mins. He was held down by two others until he stopped breathing. After Jordan’s death is ruled as a homicide NYPD has failed to arrest the man that took his life. Why did the police release this man after the murder was filmed and now being shown around the clock on the news and social media outlets? Why won’t the police release the name of the Murder like they do on First 48?

Update: Daniel Penny, 25, is charged with second-degree manslaughter and negligent homicide in the May 2023 death of 30-year-old Jordan Neely. Penny pleaded not guilty to both charges.

Neely, who was a well-known Michael Jackson impersonator, got on the subway at the Second Avenue station and reportedly began screaming and threatening people. Penny allegedly approached Neely from behind and placed him in a chokehold. First responders performed CPR on Neely before he was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His death was ruled a homicide by compression of the neck.

The defense filed a motion to dismiss the charges against Penny, but it was denied by the judge in January. The trial is scheduled to begin on October 21.
