The former Marine accused of putting a homeless man in a fatal chokehold has been named by the Marine Corps as Daniel J. Penny.
Jordan Neely, who was a well known face on the New York Metro, died after appearing to be choked by Mr Penny.
In the moments before the fatal incident on Monday afternoon, Mr Neely, a 30-year-old Michael Jackson impersonator, was yelling at other passengers that he was hungry and ready to die.
