The death of an unhoused man who was placed in a chokehold by another New York subway train passenger as he experienced an apparent mental health episode was ruled a homicide on Wednesday evening.
The big picture: Prominent civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton was among those calling for the death of Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old Michael Jackson impersonator known for his performances in Times Square, to be investigated "as a potential case of manslaughter — if not murder" after video emerged of Monday's incident.
