A subway rider choked a man to death on the train yesterday.
According to one witness, he was restrained by a second person as the first choked him from behind because he was “being too rowdy.”
The man who died is believed to be unhoused. The man who choked him was white.

Details are scarce and the NYPD’s version of events is questionable, but across what is known, at no time did the man who was killed physically harm anyone.
The man who choked him to death was briefly in custody while questioned, then released.

The witness also notes that multiple riders praised the man who choked the guy to death, including a woman “who seemed entertained by the whole thing and looked down on him for being homeless and mentally unwell.”
I haven’t come across anything in any outlets that reported (what the cops said) on this that the man was armed. NYPost did end their victim-blaming article from “law enforcement sources” about alleged past charges (incl “fare beating”).
A man was choked to death you ghouls!

More info, per another witness. Choker held for *15 minutes* in response to the man…being upset he’s hungry.
Video depicts *3* people, not 2 - the choker, another man holding his arms down, & a third man trying to find a way to assist.

NYPost claims the choker was in the Marines, but that appears to be a mishear of a different person in the footage (the choker isn’t speaking when that person is).
I’m not posting the video because it’s extremely graphic.

Description:
50-second video compilation. 1/2 is the trio working to choke this man. 1/2 is the third guy lifting the dead man’s lifeless leg to move him out of the way. Someone is heard saying he’s “military. Desert Storm, Marines” & “once they defecate, you gotta let them go.”
"He said he had no food, he had no drink, that he was tired & doesn't care if he goes to jail. He started screaming all these things, took off his jacket, a black jacket that he had, & threw it on the ground"
That's when the straphanger came up behind…& took him to the ground”

NYPost appears to have edited their May 1st article, altering a line that the choker “was taken into custody for questioning & released” to instead state he was “taken into custody.”
I confirmed with NYPD 30min ago he is not in custody & “there are no charges related to this.”

UPDATE: Manhattan DA’s office has confirmed they’ve opened an investigation into the murder of #JordanNeely. They declined to elaborate on details or what, if any, charges they would pursue against his killers.
Add’l note: For anyone claiming it was self-defense: The man who choked Neely to death grabbed him from behind. Neely never saw him.
