New York City resident and Marine veteran Daniel Penny is facing charges for the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man, that has sparked national attention.<\/p>\n

Daniel Penny, 24, was arraigned Friday by Manhattan Criminal Court and charged with one count of second-degree manslaughter<\/a> over Neely’s death.<\/p>\n

Penny joined the Marines<\/a> in 2017 and served for four years, according to his LinkedIn profile. He is also a college student, according to his attorneys.<\/p>\n

He reached the rank of sergeant and formerly served at Marine Corps Base Camp LeJeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina, according to U.S. Marine Corps records, reported by The Independent.<\/p>\n

Friends and family described Penny’s upbringing on Long Island in the suburbs of the Big Apple and defended him amid the accusations and a viral video of Penny holding Neely around the neck on the floor of a subway car while two other riders also restrained Neely.<\/p>\n

The Marine veteran grew up in a military family with three sisters in a three-bedroom home in West Islip with their parents before they divorced, according to the New York Post.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s disgusting. Here\u2019s a young man who served our country. What about the other two gentlemen on the subway who were helping him [restrain Neely]? They haven\u2019t even been named,” Justine Baldwin, one of Penny\u2019s cousins, told the Post.<\/p>\n

Devin Marino, a friend of Penny from elementary school through high school, told the outlet, “Danny was always fun and goofy and never harmed anyone.”<\/p>\n

“He was always super-inclusive,” he added.<\/p>\n

A video recorded by freelance journalist Juan Alberto Vazquez shows Penny putting Neely in a chokehold on May 1. He allegedly held the homeless man like that for several minutes before Neely’s body went limp.<\/p>\n

Attorneys said Penny put Neely in a chokehold to protect himself and others because Neely was threatening individuals on the Broadway-Lafayette subway station.<\/p>\n

Neely had a history of violent attacks<\/a> and struggled with mental illness and a drug addiction, according to court records and reports.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The incident that took place in the subway between Penny and Neely, which led to Neely’s,\u00a0death, was ruled a homicide by the medical examiner. Protests erupted across the city in support of Neely, which resulted in multiple arrests a week later on a Monday night outside the subway station.<\/p>\n

Some supporters have stood by the Marine veteran, donating to a campaign fund created by his attorneys, Thomas Kenniff and Steven Kaiser.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The fundraiser was started on a free Christian fundraising site<\/a>, which reached more than $1.5 million Sunday morning and has also received support from politicians, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.<\/p>\n
