The deadly incident occurred just after 8 p.m. on a northbound J train approaching the Marcy Avenue and Broadway stop. Here's what we know.
A grand jury declined to indict Jordan Williams on manslaughter and weapons charged stemming from the June 13 killing on a Brooklyn J train. The 20-year-old had been arrested for the stabbing death of 36-year-old Devictor Quedraogo.
Quedraogo had been rushed to New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital where he was pronounced dead. From the time of his arrest, Williams said he acted in self-defense; a grand jury believed him and refused to indict. When asked if he feels authorities moved too quickly to arrest and charge him with manslaughter, Williams said he's focused on the future, starting college and getting a job. The money raised by strangers for his defense fund, over $100,000, will now go to his college fund.
