In New York City, Daniel Penny, a 26-year-old former Marine veteran, was acquitted of charges related to the death of Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man, after a jury reached a verdict on December 9, 2024. The incident occurred on May 1, 2023, when Penny placed Neely in a chokehold for approximately six minutes on a subway train, following Neely's erratic and threatening behavior toward passengers. Neely, who had a history of mental health issues and substance use, was reported to be yelling about wanting to die and not caring if he lived or went to jail during the confrontation. Witnesses in the subway car reported feeling unsafe due to Neely's actions, prompting Penny to intervene.
