Word spread on Thursday that the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office was expected to charge Penny for the death of Jordan Neely. Penny was anticipated to surrender today.
Neely, a homeless 30-year-old, reportedly threatened passengers on a train at the Broadway-Lafayette station in Manhattan on May 1. Penny then put him in a chokehold which led to Neely’s death. He was later questioned by the NYPD but released from custody.
The medical examiner’s office declared Neely’s death a homicide the next day, sparking a debate over whether Penny’s actions were justifiable defense or vigilantism. The Manhattan district attorney’s office has been investigating the case, and several protests have taken place in Manhattan since Neely’s death, with dozens of arrests made.

The incident has gone viral for the controversy surrounding Neely. After his death, a video surfaced showing him spewing homophobic slurs at a man before violently attacking him. Neely was a Michael Jackson impersonator with a long history of criminal behavior. Despite this, many called for Penny to be arrested and charged with murder.
