Twitter sleuths use yearbook photos, tabloid goof to unearth alleged subway killer’s name The name of the assailant wasn't released by police. Update 10:26am CT: The Daily Mail confirmed the identity of the subway assailant as former Marine Daniel Penny. The original article appears below. On Monday, a former Marine killed Jordan Neely, placing him in a chokehold on the New York City subway. While Neely was almost immediately identified as the victim, the name of the assailant wasn’t released by police. Four days later, it took a combination of Twitter sleuths and a goof by a big tabloid to reveal who was potentially behind it. Now, the internet is rife with posts claiming the man on the subway has been identified. In a piece Thursday, headlined “AOC now brands Jordan Neely’s NYC subway chokehold death a ‘public execution,'” by the Daily Mail, users online noticed that a person’s name was included in a caption twice, identifying that person as Neely’s killer. “Someone noticed they put his last name in the caption of the photo on a daily mail article despite leaving it out of the article itself. It’s still there as of now,” a Twitter user wrote, linking to the Daily Mail piece. The Daily Dot could not confirm the veracity of the Daily Mail screenshots. Archived versions show what internet sleuths say is the updated caption, which appears to have been removed. The current version of the article does not include the image in question. The Daily Mail did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Around the same time, an anti-police activist Twitter account published what they said were yearbook photos of the killer, who they say resides in Long Island, approximately 20 minutes outside the city. The user said that several people independently confirmed the killer’s name, and separately sent the images of their yearbook. The Twitter user did not immediately reply to a Daily Dot inquiry. With a name in question, users were able to confirm that person served in the U.S. Marine Corps, and they began sharing images of him in his service gear and comparing them to the person filmed killing Neely. Now, his name is all over Twitter and TikTok. The New York Police Department did not respond to a request for comment about the identity of the killer possibly being revealed. However, a recent piece by the New York Daily News was able to track down the history of the person’s service with the Marines as well, leading users online to claim that newspapers have known the name for several days and were suppressing it. www.dailydot.com/debug/daniel-penny-twitter-daily-mail-subway-killer-identity/

Jordan Neely's family says his chokehold death was an 'injustice' The godfather of the man who died in a chokehold on the subway told Eyewitness News Friday that the death seemed like an injustice, adding that he had questions about the motivations of the former Marine, who was caught on video restraining Jordan Neely. "I'm not feeling too good about it," the godfather, Barry Knibb, told Eyewitness News reporter Darla Miles. "I mean, what happened, you know, seemed like it's an injustice. And I'm like, I'm asking the question is about this guy was a veteran." Meanwhile, the father of Jordan Neely was seen on Friday hanging his head while struggling to process the death of his son as the family copes with the death. "They're grieving," family attorney Lennon Edwards said. "They're dealing with the whirlwind of attention to the circumstances. And at the same time, they're dealing with the loss of a loved one. It's it's traumatic for them as well. It's it's horrible." Neely's godfather spoke of the questions the family has about what happened on that F train in Manhattan on Monday afternoon. "So my question is, what is this?" Knibb said. "You know, what are they doing about this guy, this evaluation? What's the real problem? What triggered him to do what he did?" Neely, 30, was a subway performer who was held in a chokehold on an uptown F train, with a Marine veteran caught on camera restraining Neely for nearly 15 minutes, according to the family's attorney. "We have a civilian also who's really you know, in my view, this is somebody who's a trained killer," Edwards said. "He is an ex-Marine, and he understood the art of hand-to-hand combat." Police said the 24-year-old Marine veteran, identified as Daniel Penny, told investigators that Neely was acting erratically and was scaring passengers. But Neely had not become violent and had not been threatening anyone in particular. Detectives have interviewed more than half-a-dozen witnesses and are still looking to talk to a few more who saw what happened. Penny's attorney released a statemeny saying in part, "The law firm of Raiser and Kenniff, P.C. represents Daniel Penny, a twenty-four- year-old college student and Marine veteran. Earlier this week Daniel Penny was involved in a tragic incident on the NYC Subway, which ended in the death of Jordan Neely." The satement went on to say, "We would first like to express, on behalf of Daniel Penny, our condolences to those close to Mr. Neely. Mr. Neely had a documented history of violent and erratic behavior, the apparent result of ongoing and untreated mental illness. When Mr. Neely began aggressively threatening Daniel Penny and the other passengers, Daniel, with the help of others, acted to protect themselves, until help arrived. Daniel never intended to harm Mr. Neely and could not have foreseen his untimely death. For too long, those suffering from mental illness have been treated with indifference. We hope that out of this awful tragedy will come a new commitment by our elected officials to address the mental health crisis on our streets and subways." A grand jury is expected to be convened as early as next week to hear evidence in the death of Neely and determine if charges are warranted. The Marines began chokehold training, a part of a martial arts program that started in 2001. The NYPD banned the use of a chokehold in 1993 and a September 2021 memo from the Department of Justice banned it as well. That memo read: "I am directing the department's law enforcement components to revise their policies to explicitly prohibit the use of chokeholds and the carotid restraint technique unless deadly force is authorized." Neely's death has sparked protests across the city. Knibb said all that Neely, known for playing Michael Jackson in the subway, was seeking on that train was some food. "All he was asking, crying out for some food from what his father was telling me, that's all he wanted," Knibb said. "Something to eat." www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/jordan-neelys-family-says-his-chokehold-death-was-an-injustice/ar-AA1aNQli

Jordan Neely's Family Wants Marine Who Fatally Choked Him to be Prosecuted Jordan Neely's family wants the marine who fatally choked the 30-year-old Michael Jackson impersonator to be prosecuted following his death on Monday. Jordan Neely’s family is demanding justice after the 30-year-old was choked to death by a marine vet in the subway. The incident took place on Monday, when Neely was riding the NYC train and he was placed in a fatal chokehold by 24-year-old Daniel Penny. He hasn’t been arrested and isn’t facing charges. “The family’s outraged at what happened, and the family feels like the justice system is failing them at this moment,” their lawyer, Lennon Edwards, told TMZ. “It took too long really for there to be a determination that this was homicide. It was clear from the beginning: if you look at the video, it tells you that. The coroner’s office came back and said death by compression on the neck. That’s clear. You see that chokehold.” Edwards continued, “They want justice. They want to see Jordan’s killer prosecuted. They want to see him in jail, behind bars.” Neely’s family also doesn’t agree with how the incident is being viewed. Neely, a Michael Jackson impersonator, seemed to be experiencing a mental health episode. Police say he was acting in a “hostile and erratic manner,” and that witnesses were afraid of Neely. Neely was unarmed during the incident and didn’t attack any passengers. Regardless, Penny approached Neely from behind and placed him in a chokehold for 15 minutes. A witness on the scene previously told the New York Times that Neely screamed, “‘I don’t have food, I don’t have a drink, I’m fed up,’” before he was attacked. “‘I don’t mind going to jail and getting life in prison. I’m ready to die.’” Neely was later taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. www.complex.com/life/jordan-neely-family-wants-marine-prosecuted

Black Americans say white vigilantism played a role in Jordan Neely’s homicide “It reignites the terror in the souls of Black folks when we witness these killings of our people without trial, without jury, without adjudication,” one psychologist said. Black men and boys like Trayvon Martin, Ahmaud Arbery and Emmett Till were killed at the hands of people taking the law into their own hands. In the moments before New York City subway entertainer Jordan Neely was killed on an F train in lower Manhattan in the middle of the day, a witness said he had been yelling, asking for food and saying that he didn’t care if he went to jail. A 24-year-old man from Queens, whose identity has not yet been verified, came up from behind him and put him in a chokehold for several minutes until Neely died. For Donald Grant, a clinical psychologist in Los Angeles, the deadly act represents a white vigilantism that has become an ever-present threat to Black Americans, manifested in the killings of many men and women whose names have made up headlines and hashtags over decades. “It reignites the terror in the souls of Black folks when we witness these killings of our people without trial, without jury, without adjudication,” said Grant, author of the book "White on White Crime: Old Lies in Contemporary Times." “This vigilante activity is really a reminder of the dangerous conditions that Black Americans exist in now,” he added. It’s not enough that Black people are killed, Grant said. It’s that each killing requires “public outrage for our humanity to be recognized in a way that doesn’t allow us to be murdered like animals in public spaces.” Neely died Monday because of “compression of neck,” a spokesperson for the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said. The outrage that Neely, who had a history of mental illness and was homeless, according to lawyers, could be strangled to death in front of passengers on a New York subway conjured concerns of vigilantes taking action against Black people, said Tyrone Irby, a native New Yorker who now lives in Durham, North Carolina. Irby said the incident reminded him of people like George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain who shot teenager Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, in 2012; or Gregory and Travis McMichael, a father and son who gunned down Black jogger Ahmaud Arbery three years ago with their friend William Bryan. After Arbery’s killing, Irby created Together We Stand, an organization that supports meaningful conversation among people of different races to bring about change. “It’s really disturbing,” he said. “If you’re in New York and ride the subway, you will see homeless people and people having mental health episodes. They’re angry. They’re upset, but a high percentage of the time they’re not threatening. You ignore them or move to another car. You don’t attack them.” Juan Alberto Vazquez, who was on the train and recorded the incident, told NBC New York that Neely boarded the subway car and began a “somewhat aggressive speech, saying he was hungry, he was thirsty, that he didn’t care about anything, he didn’t care about going to jail, he didn’t care that he gets a big life sentence, that ‘It doesn’t even matter if I died.’” Vazquez said that while he and others in the subway car were scared, the 24-year-old approached Neely and put him in a chokehold for several minutes as two other men helped restrain him. Neely’s death was declared a homicide by the medical examiner and no arrest had been made as of Friday morning. Grant said he fears “nothing will happen to” the man who put Neely in a chokehold. Mario Williams, a civil rights attorney, said he passes a row of homeless people each morning en route to his office in downtown Atlanta. Sometimes they make comments, sometimes they act out. “But no one goes up and chokes them,” Williams said. Terence Lester, founder of Love Beyond Walls, an organization that advocates for the homeless, said he cried thinking of the similar issues faced by the population he works with, as he watched the video of Neely dying. “This violent act toward this young man who struggled with mental health challenges has been fueled by criminalizing policies, and a racialized past,” Lester said. “Punishment towards a vulnerable population can be fueled by hate itself. I wept because time and time again, I have had to write public apologies about the mistreatment that the unhoused community faces while also trying to wrestle through the most challenging moments of their life.” Grant said he thinks the deaths of Neely — and Martin, Arbery and many others — stem from racism and the feeling of power that comes with taking matters into their own hands. The pervasiveness of white superiority, Grant said, means that members of that group can often express that superiority in fatal ways. “And so white superiority ideology is a combination of all those things: historical context, white supremacy, racism, classism and a system that has been supported through literature, through film, through journalism. And those messages are consistent. We can’t continue to excuse vigilantism.” www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/black-americans-say-white-vigilantism-played-role-jordan-neelys-homici-rcna82894

JORDAN NEELY WAS LYNCHED A white man lynched Jordan Neely on the floor of a subway in New York City on Monday. He placed Neely in a chokehold for several minutes. Other people held down Neely’s arms and legs as he tried to free himself. But then he stopped moving. A freelance journalist, Juan Alberto Vazquez, filmed the execution and shared the video on his Facebook page. “‘I don’t have food, I don’t have a drink, I’m fed up,’” Neely had yelled in the train, Vazquez reported to The New York Times. “‘I don’t mind going to jail and getting life in prison. I’m ready to die.’” Vazquez also shared that the 30-year-old did not assault or threaten anyone on the train before the man who choked him to death grabbed him from behind. The police released Neely’s killer after questioning, and they didn’t bring any charges. The coroner has ruled the death a homicide. City officials, wielding morsels of information like a sword to quell dissent, have shared little to no information about the man who lynched Neely beyond the fact that he is a 24-year-old man. But the police have given the media almost full access to Neely’s medical and so-called “criminal” history. The most common refrain since Monday has been about Neely’s perceived “mental health issues,” his houselessness, and how he used to busk as Michael Jackson and perform for people to make ends meet. We’ve heard about his mother, Christie Neely’s gruesome murder at the hands of a boyfriend, and how then-18-year-old Neely had to testify at the trial. These pieces of information—his state-sanctioned, government-fueled, racial capitalist-borne poverty, questions about his mental state, his traumatic past, witnesses sharing about their fear at his “erratic” behavior—are shared almost as if to justify the lynching. But is the state letting you die of hunger, thirst, and lack of shelter not worth yelling about? Make no mistake; a white man lynched Neely because of his Blackness. White supremacy allows white people to function as extensions of settler-colonial state power. Neely was Black, so that was enough reason to lynch him rather than help him. It was enough for some bystanders to watch without intervention. It was enough for others to hold down his limbs as someone choked the life out of him—the same way white people and their allies have done to thousands of Black people across the country, not with a chokehold and in a subway, but with nooses and trees. As both prosecutors and the police continue their investigation, the case to arrest the person who lynched Neely rests on the ability to prove that Neely wasn’t a threat to his killer or the witnesses on the train. According to New York state laws, a person can use physical force against another person if they have a “reasonable belief” that it is necessary to defend themselves or others. But in a country that always perceives Blackness as an inherent threat, that perceives Black men as taller, stronger, and more threatening than they are thanks to the psyche and construct of whiteness itself, that reasonable belief then hinges on a system that, for centuries, defined whiteness as humanity and Blackness as sub-human. Lynching, shooting at, and locking up Black people and systematically letting Black people die through state inaction (and action) within the construct of white supremacy will almost always be acceptable within the U.S. Since Monday, attempts by right-wing and centrist media outlets to frame Neely’s last moments as deserving of lynching are rooted in a long history of demonizing Black anger as dangerous and a sign of madness. As Mon M. and Stefanie Lyn Kaufman Mthimkhulu wrote in their op-ed for Prism, the criminalization of “errant behavior, madness, and neurodivergence” is embedded within U.S. settler-colonial history. They wrote: “This history includes the racialization of mental illness in ways that benefited slavers and settlers, including ‘drapetomania,’ which characterized the desire for enslaved people to run away as mental illness, and made-up census data from 1840, which exaggerated mental illness among free Black people.” What does it say that Neely’s anger at his starvation and thirst was perceived as threatening to his executioner? What does it say of the conditions imposed on a Black, unsheltered, starving person that prison and the conditions of carcerality are preferable to a slow death on the street? Black rage at this country’s injustices, oppressions, and despicable conditions is killed, quelled, and watered down by the state and agents most aligned with its settler-colonial missions. When runaway, rebellious enslaved people protested their conditions, they were tortured and lynched. Neely was protesting the conditions of his existence, and a man lynched him for it. It is our duty not to impose medical diagnoses and judgments on Neely. Our responsibility, as movement journalists, as people combatting anti-Blackness, state and state-sanctioned murders, lynchings, and violence, is to fight for liberation. We must fight against white supremacist narratives that immediately work overtime to blame the victim of a lynching for his murder. Neely deserved to be saved, he deserved money, and he deserved food and water. Neely deserved warmth, community, and tenderness. Neely deserved to live. therealnews.com/jordan-neely-was-lynched
