Eyewitness News spoke to family members of Jordan Neely, the subway performer who was choked to death on an uptown F train.
The godfather of the man who died in a chokehold on the subway told Eyewitness News Friday that the death seemed like an injustice, adding that he had questions about the motivations of the former Marine who was caught on video restraining Jordan Neely.
Meanwhile, the father of Jordan Neely was seen on Friday hanging his head while struggling to process the death of his son as the family copes with the death. Neely's godfather spoke of the questions the family has about what happened on that F train in Manhattan on Monday afternoon. Neely, 30, was a subway performer who was held in a chokehold on an uptown F train, with a Marine veteran caught on camera restraining Neely for nearly 15 minutes, according to the family's attorney. Police said the 24-year-old Marine veteran told investigators that Neely was acting erratically and was scaring passengers. But Neely had not become violent and had not been threatening anyone in particular.
