More than two weeks after Jordan Neely was choked to death inside a New York City subway car, grieving relatives and friends laid him to rest at an emotional service on Friday.
The killing of Neely on 1 May has sparked a polarising debate about the city’s public health failures, citizen vigilantism and racial bias after reports emerged that his alleged killer, 24-year-old Daniel Penny, held him in a fatal chokehold on the floor of a Manhattan F train for several minutes.
