Fatal Chokehold on NYC Subway Prompts Investigation

Manhattan prosecutors are investigating the death of Jordan Neely, a homeless man who was put in a chokehold by another rider on a New York City subway train. Neely died due to compression of the neck, and the manner of death was ruled a homicide. Witnesses reported that Neely had been acting erratically before the incident, but had not attacked anyone. The man who put Neely in the chokehold has been identified and interviewed by detectives, but has not been charged. Neely's death highlights the ongoing issue of homelessness and mental health challenges in the city's subway system.
