Marine To Be Charged With Manslaughter Following Chokehold Death of Belligerent Homeless Man on New York City Subway
The decision to charge the Marine follows an uproar from homeless advocates including Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who cried ‘murder’ and demanded Daniel Penny be held accountable.

The Marine who held a homeless man, Jordan Neely, in a chokehold for several minutes on a New York City subway earlier this month — resulting in his death — will be charged with manslaughter on Friday, according to the Manhattan district attorney’s office.
In a statement to the New York Times, the office said Daniel Penny will surrender on Friday. “Daniel Penny will be arrested on a charge of manslaughter in the second degree,” the statement said. “We cannot provide any additional information until he has been arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court, which we expect to take place tomorrow.”
