Penny, 24, was initially charged with second-degree manslaughter last month in the May 1 killing.
A grand jury in New York City has voted to indict Marine Corps veteran Daniel Penny in the choking death of Jordan Neely during a subway ride.
The footage sparked outrage and protests with racial and political overtones. Some suggested that Neely's death resembled the 2020 police killing of, while others have defended him as a"hero" for thwarting a purported threat from Neely. Penny disputed an eyewitness claim that he kept Neely in a chokehold for around 15 minutes, while also rejecting suggestions that the incident was racially motivated.

Grand jury indicts Daniel Penny in chokehold death of New York City subway rider Jordan NeelyA man charged with manslaughter for putting an agitated New York City subway rider in a fatal chokehold has been indicted. Daniel Penny was charged last month in the death of Jordan Neely. New York City Mayor Eric Adams confirmed the indictment Wednesday, a procedural step that allows the criminal case to continue. Neely was shouting at passengers and begging for money when Penny pinned him and held him in a chokehold on May 1. Penny’s lawyers said Wednesday that Neely had not intended to kill Neely, just hold him until police arrived. They said they're confident a trial jury will find Penny's actions fully justified.
