A grand jury is expected to review the case and determine if criminal charges should be brought against the subway rider who applied the deadly choke-hold. The person who choked Neely is identified as Daniel Penny, a 24-year-old Marine veteran who was questioned by the police and later released. Jordan Neely had a history of violent and erratic behavior due to untreated mental illness. In fact, according to a Reddit user who shared the incident, the day before his tragic death, Jordan Neely was involved in another distressing incident on the subway. The user claimed that Neely almost pushed someone onto the tracks at the Broadway-Lafayette station in Lower Manhattan on Sunday night.
