A grand jury has indicted Daniel Penny, a former U.S. Marine who held Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold on a New York City subway train in May, ABC News reported Wednesday—though the charges Penny was indicted on have not yet been unsealed.
Daniel Penny was reportedly indicted in the fatal chokehold of Jordan Neely.
Penny, 24, was arrested last month and faces a second-degree manslaughter charge in the killing of Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man whose death was previously ruled a homicide, which set off city-wide protests after video surfaced of the chokehold.
Penny was released on a $100,000 bond.
The charges will not be unsealed until a later date when Penny appears in court, law enforcement sources told ABC News.
Penny’s lawyers argued after Neely’s death that Penny “never intended to harm” Neely.
This is a developing story.
