The choking death of a man at the hands of another New York subway rider set off powerful reactions Thursday, with some calling it a criminal, racist act even as authorities reserved judgment on the killing.
New York police officers respond to the scene where a fight was reported on a subway train, Monday, May 1, 2023, in New York.
The medical examiner’s office ruled Wednesday night that Neely, 30, died in a homicide caused by compression of the neck, but it said any determination about criminal culpability would be left to the legal system.Regardless, many New Yorkers saw the choking as the latest in a long history of attacks on Black city residents.
Marine recruits are routinely taught about executing and defending against chokeholds, which can render someone unconscious in as few as eight seconds, according to a military manual revised in 2020. No one has been arrested, but the Manhattan district attorney’s office said late Wednesday it would review autopsy reports, as well as “assess all available video and photo footage, identify and interview as many witnesses as possible, and obtain additional medical records.”
Governor Kathy Hochul called the videotaped encounter “wrong” and “horrific to view,” adding that Neely’s “family deserves justice.” But the governor said she was watching how the matter unfolds.
