on a New York City subway, surrendered to police Friday morning to charges of manslaughter in the second degree, according toOn Thursday, the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced the charges against Penny and said he was hopeful for the surrender. “We can confirm that Daniel Penny will be arrested on a charge of Manslaughter in the Second Degree,” a spokesperson for Bragg.
Before the charges were officially confirmed, Penny retained criminal defense attorneys Thomas Kenniff and Steven Raiser. On Thursday, in a statement to, the firm wrote, “We are confident that once all the facts and circumstances surrounding this tragic incident are brought to bear, Mr. Penny will be fully absolved of any wrongdoing.”
It took prosecutors eleven days to charge Penny, who killed Neely after putting him in a fatal chokehold on May 1. Neely, who was unhoused and seemingly having a mental health crisis, was reportedly yelling and acting erratically on a subway car when Penny put him in the chokehold. An independent journalist captured part of the incident on video and later said Neely had not assaulted anyone before Penny put him in the chokehold for approximately 15 minutes.
After the incident, police told reporters that they took Penny into custody, questioned him, and released him. A few days after Neely’s death, on May 4, the medical examiner determined that Neely died of compression to his neck caused by the chokehold, ruling his death a homicide. Attorneys Kenniff and Raiser released a statement on Penny’s behalf last Friday, May 5, accusing Neely of having a “documented history of violent and erratic behavior,” and claiming he was “aggressively threatening Daniel Penny and the other passengers” on the subway.
