Jordan Neely’s family continues to press authorities to arrest the man who killed him on a Manhattan subway train, saying Marine Daniel Penny “acted with indifference” when he put the troubled Michael Jackson impersonator in a chokehold.
“It is clear he is the one who acted with indifference, both at the time he killed Jordan and now in his first public message,” Donte Mills and Lennon Edwards, lawyers for Neely’s family, said in a statement Monday.
The lawyers were responding to a statement put out on Penny’s behalf in which the 24-year-old Marine’s representatives called Neely’s death a “tragic accident.” But Neely’s family took issue with Penny’s statement, noting that it contained neither “an apology nor an expression of regret.” most recently in November 2021 for slugging a 67-year-old female stranger in the face as she exited a subway station. He has a history of mental illness.
