New York’s medical examiner says subway rider Jordan Neely was ‘killed by chokehold’

New York’s medical examiner has ruled a subway rider was killed by a chokehold during a fight with another passenger.

Jordan Neely was a well known Michael Jackson impersonator.

The whole ordeal was caught on camera and has sent social media into a spin.

Officials say the death was caused by homicide, from the “compression of [his] neck (chokehold)”.

Video of the incident shows the 30-year-old struggling as another man grabs him and holds him on the ground.

Police have questioned and released the 24-year-old U.S. Marine who restrained the passenger.

It is now up to police and prosecutors to determine if charges are warranted.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office says in a statement it will “assess all available video and photo footage, identify and interview as many witnesses as possible, and obtain additional medical records.”

The investigation is being handled by senior, experienced prosecutors.

The incident happened on the F-line train in the SoHo section of Manhattan.

A video from the train shows the former Marine holding the 30-year-old man.

Reports suggest Neely was acting erratically when the Marine intervened.

Fed faces critical leadership transition as Trump nominates new chair amid economic uncertainty and potential rate cut discussions.


The U.S. Federal Reserve is entering a critical period as it prepares for President Donald Trump’s upcoming nominee to lead the central bank. Markets are closely watching how the Fed will navigate this leadership transition amid ongoing economic uncertainty.

The Fed’s two-day meeting could result in a modest quarter-percentage-point rate cut. However, future policy decisions will hinge on key economic projections and inflation trends, leaving analysts debating how much room the central bank really has to maneuver.

Trump is pushing for lower interest rates to boost the housing market before the midterms, but this could complicate the next Fed chair’s path. Data delays from the recent government shutdown may also affect the Fed’s decision-making this week, adding another layer of uncertainty.

Paramount’s $108.4B bid for Warner Bros reshapes media landscape, likely facing antitrust hurdles amid board’s Netflix preference.


Paramount has launched a staggering $108.4 billion hostile bid to acquire Warner Bros Discovery, shaking up the media landscape. The proposal, supported by Jared Kushner’s investment firm and Middle Eastern funds, offers $18 billion more in cash than Netflix’s recent $72 billion deal for the same assets.

Warner Bros’ board is currently reviewing the Paramount offer but continues to recommend the Netflix deal. Analysts warn that a merger of this scale could face intense antitrust scrutiny, potentially delaying or even blocking the deal.

Paramount argues that its acquisition would boost competition and provide stronger support for the creative community, promising a new chapter in Hollywood consolidation.
