Nearly two weeks after Daniel Penny used a fatal chokehold to restrain a man on the floor of a New York City subway car, the 24-year-old will face criminal charges, prosecutors said.

Penny will be arrested and charged for killing Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old Black man experiencing homelessness and mental health problems after he had been shouting on board the subway. The white U.S. Marine Corps veteran will face a charge of secondary manslaughter, which could carry a jail term of up to 15 years.
