The incident, which occurred on May 1, was captured on video and went viral on social media. Neely died from a compression of the neck, but Penny&#8217;s lawyers claim that he did not intend to kill him.<\/p>\n<h3>Witnesses Speak Out<\/h3>\n<p>According to witnesses, Neely was complaining loudly about being hungry and saying he was ready to die when Penny came up behind him and gripped him around the neck. Penny restrained him on the floor of the subway car until he appeared to stop moving. Neely was later declared dead.<\/p>\n<h3>Arraignment and Protests<\/h3>\n<p>Penny surrendered to police at the 5th Precinct in southeastern Manhattan on Friday and is expected to be arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on one count of second-degree manslaughter. The incident has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/virginia-dems-balk-at-passing-major-gun-control-reforms-ahead-of-election\/\" title=\"Virginia Dems Balk at Passing Major Gun-Control Reforms Ahead of Election\u00a0\">sparked protests<\/a>, with some saying the incident amounted to a &#8220;lynching&#8221; and an example of &#8220;white vigilantism&#8221; against people of color. Neely was Black and Penny is white.<\/p>\n<h3>Legal Statements<\/h3>\n<p>In a statement from his legal team, Penny expressed &#8220;condolences to those close to Mr. Neely.&#8221; The statement alleged that Neely had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-marine-daniel-penny-surrenders-to-be-charged-in-chokehold-death-on-ny-subway\/\" title=\"Ex-Marine Daniel Penny surrenders for chokehold death on NY subway.\">aggressively threatened passengers riding<\/a> in the subway car. Penny&#8217;s attorneys did not immediately respond to a request for comment. An attorney for Neely&#8217;s family said in a statement on Monday that Penny&#8217;s actions on the train and his words show that &#8220;he needs to be in prison.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Increased Police Patrols<\/h3>\n<p>The incident has revived a debate among New Yorkers about crime in the subway and what to do with a growing number of homeless people in the city.
