The determination came after friends and elected officials expressed outrage over the death, insisting the homeless Michael Jackson impersonator didn’t deserve to die.
The caught-on-video chokehold death of a homeless, mentally-ill Michael Jackson impersonator by a former U.S. Marine aboard a Manhattan subway train was ruled a homicide on Wednesday as anger and protests erupted over the killing.
At least three people were cuffed following a demonstration inside the Broadway-Lafayette station, where Neely died, and a subsequent march in the local streets. “They f—ing killed him, man. They choked him til he went unconscious, and then they kept choking him,” Grima said.The Manhattan district attorney’s office is investigating the death.
“There’s consequences for behavior,” she said, although it wasn’t immediately clear if she was referring to Neely or the passenger who applied the chokehold. Neely fell unconscious on the train as the ex-Marine held him in the chokehold. A conductor called for police, the video shows. First responders took Neely to Lenox Hill Hospital, where he died.
Protesters march through the Manhattan borough of New York on Wednesday afternoon, May 3, 2023, to protest the death of Jordan Neely. Four people were arrested, police said. Neely, a man who was suffering an apparent mental health episode aboard a New York City subway, died this week after being placed in a headlock by a fellow rider on Monday, May 1, according to police officials and video of the encounter.
The ex-Marine who applied the chokehold separated from service in 2021 following four years of in the corps, attaining the rank of sergeant, the Marines said in a statement.
