Protesters Gather at Subway Station After Chokehold Death

Storyful

Demonstrators gathered at the Broadway-Lafayette subway station in New York City on Wednesday, May 3, to protest the death of a 30-year-old black man who died after he was placed in a chokehold by a fellow passenger at the station two days prior.

Jordan Neely, who was homeless at the time of his death, was reported to have been acting erratically before he was placed in a chokehold for several minutes by another passenger on the train.

The passenger who held Neely in the chokehold was released without charge on May 2, pending further investigation, according to reports. Neely’s death was ruled to be a homicide, local media reported on May 3, citing the city’s medical examiner.
