“His death is a tragedy that never should have happened,” Mayor Eric Adams said.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams condemned the death of Jordan Neely Wednesday, who died after a fellow subway passenger was captured on video putting him in a chokehold.
“Jordan Neely did not deserve to die,” Adams said in prepared remarks Wednesday amid growing calls for an arrest in the case, including from Neely’s family.
A grand jury is likely to weigh in on the case as soon as this week, law enforcement sources told ABC News. A grand jury would determine whether criminal charges are warranted, according to the sources.
