Daniel Penny, a 24-year-old Marine veteran, was charged with manslaughter in the second degree for the May 1 killing of 30-year-old Jordan Neely.

The three-minute video, filmed by journalist Juan Alberto Vazquez, shows Penny locking Neely in a chokehold on the floor of the train car. Vazquez reported that Penny choked Neely for close to 15 minutes after Neely began yelling on the train.

The man got on the subway car and began to say a somewhat aggressive speech, saying he was hungry, he was thirsty, that he didnt care about anything, he didnt care about going to jail, he didnt care that he gets a big life sentence, he told NBC New York . That It doesnt even matter if I died.

New Yorks Office of Chief Medical Examiner ruled Neelys death a homicide, listing his cause of death as compression of neck (chokehold).

While authorities had questioned Penny after the conflict, Penny was then released .
