Former Marine Surrenders to Face Charges in Subway Chokehold Death

Daniel Penny, a Marine veteran, surrendered to face a charge of second-degree manslaughter for choking and killing Jordan Neely, a homeless man, on the New York City subway. Witnesses said that Mr. Neely, who had a history of mental illness, was acting in a “hostile and erratic manner” toward other passengers on the train, according to the police, but there has been no indication that he physically attacked anyone before Mr. Penny began choking him. The Manhattan district attorney’s office will charge Mr. Penny with second-degree manslaughter, which could result in up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
