The trial of Daniel Penny, the former Marine charged with killing Jordan Neely aboard a New York City subway, featured testimony from a man who helped the defendant restrain the victim.

Jordan Neely was killed aboard an NYC subway train in May 2023 by a white marine who calls himself trying to play hero. BOSSIP reported extensively on the incident in which that white man, Daniel Penny, applied a chokehold for so long that Neely eventually stopped breathing and died in front of a train car of commuters.

Eric Gonzalez, who helped Daniel Penny pin Mr. Neely to the floor of a subway car, also said he had lied when he told investigators Mr. Neely had hit him.
