Sanchez’s 911 call was one of several that prosecutors aired during their case against Daniel Penny, the former Marine who put homeless street artist Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold on a New York City subway in May 2023. Later, Sanchez took cell phone video of first responders treating Neely, who appeared limp and non-responsive.

Tuesday marked the first full day of the defense's case in the trial of Daniel Penny, the Marine veteran charged in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely on board the subway last year.

Defense attorneys began their defense of a former U.S. Marine charged with fatally choking a homeless man aboard a Manhattan subway by calling the defendant's older sister to the witness stand.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office has shared video of Daniel Penny's NYPD interview, taken shortly after Jordan Neely's chokehold death last year.

NYPD Detectives Michael Medina and Brian McCarthy interviewed Daniel Penny shortly after the fatal subway chokehold that killed Jordan Neely. They read him his Miranda warning but didn't tell him Neely had died.

For roughly six minutes, Jordan Neely was pinned to a subway floor in a chokehold that ended with him lying still. But that’s not what killed him, a forensic pathologist testified Thursday in defense of the military-trained commuter charged with killing Neely.
