A New York City subway rider accused of choking a homeless man to death is expected to turn himself in to police on Friday morning to face charges, though the charges are still unknown.
On May 1, Daniel Penny, a 24-year-old Marine veteran and college student, put 30-year-old Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold after what police described was an altercation on a northbound F train.
Neely was reportedly having a mental episode on the subway, yelling and pacing back and forth, when Penny interjected, tackled him to the ground and put him in a chokehold, witnesses and police said.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is bringing the charges against Penny, and the case has not been presented to a grand jury at this time.
Fox News has learned Penny will surrender to the NYPD at the fifth precinct Friday at 8 a.m.
The incident sparked protests and violent clashes last week after the Marine veteran was taken into custody and released.
Fox News has reached out to the Manhattan DA’s office and Penny’s attorney for more information.
