   After his mother was murdered in 2007, Jordan Neely eked out a living as a   
   well-known Michael Jackson impersonator in Times Square and on New York’s   
   subways.   
      
   But he apparently fell on hard times in recent years, according to a   
   friend and a relative, finding himself living on the street and struggling   
   with the trauma of losing his mother.   
      
   On Monday, after yelling at passengers on a New York subway train that he   
   was hungry and thirsty and tired of having nothing, Neely was held in a   
   chokehold by another rider and later died.   
      
   Manhattan prosecutors were conducting a “rigorous ongoing investigation”   
   into the death of the 30-year-old man seen in a video being held in a   
   chokehold and his arms restrained by another passenger.   
      
   Neely died Monday due to “compression of neck (chokehold),” a spokesperson   
   for the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said. The   
   manner of death was ruled a homicide, but that determination is not a   
   ruling on intent or culpability, which is for the criminal justice system   
   to consider, the spokesperson said.   
      
   “This is a solemn and serious matter that ended in the tragic loss of   
   Jordan Neely’s life,” Manhattan District Attorney’s Office spokesperson   
   Doug Cohen said in a statement. “As part of our rigorous ongoing   
   investigation, we will review the Medical Examiner’s report, assess all   
   available video and photo footage, identify and interview as many   
   witnesses as possible, and obtain additional medical records.”   
      
   Witnesses told police Neely and another man were riding a northbound train   
   Monday when the other man put Neely in a chokehold, causing him to lose   
   consciousness, a law enforcement source said.   
      
   Neely’s comes as the city copes with rising homelessness and growing   
   numbers of people with mental illness on the streets and subways. Friends,   
   relatives and some local elected officials are demanding justice for   
   Neely’s death.   
      
   Neely had been “acting erratically” before the incident but had not   
   attacked anyone on the train prior to being put in the chokehold, a   
   witness who recorded the encounter told CNN.   
      
   Juan Alberto Vazquez said he was riding the subway when he saw a man,   
   later identified as Neely, enter the car just as the doors were closing.   
   Neely immediately launched into an aggressive rant about being “fed up and   
   hungry” and “tired of having nothing,” Vazquez said.   
      
   Vazquez quoted Neely as saying: “I don’t care if I die. I don’t care if I   
   go to jail. I don’t have any food … I’m done.”   
      
   Neely then took off his coat and threw it on the floor and said he was   
   ready to go to jail and get a life sentence, Vazquez said.   
      
   Many passengers became visibly uncomfortable and moved to other parts of   
   the train car, but Vazquez told CNN it didn’t seem like Neely was armed or   
   looking to attack anyone.   
      
   Another rider then approached Neely from behind and put him in a   
   chokehold, Vazquez said.   
      
   Vazquez said Neely did not argue or have any interaction with the man who   
   put him into a chokehold. He said he saw the man come up to Neely from   
   behind and heard the sound when both men fell to the ground.   
      
   Two other passengers approached, with one seemingly trying to mediate,   
   while the other seemed to be helping the man restrain Neely, Vazquez said,   
   adding that he started recording the incident about three or four minutes   
   after the chokehold began.   
      
   In the video, Neely and the other man are seen on the floor of a subway   
   car with the man’s arm wrapped around Neely’s neck. Vazquez said the two   
   men were on the floor for about seven minutes.   
      
   Vazquez told CNN that Neely did not try to attack anyone. He said he did   
   not see Neely with a weapon, despite someone else being heard on his video   
   claiming that Neely had a knife. He said he saw Neely’s frustration but   
   not “any intent to attack any person.”   
      
   CNN has not been able to independently confirm what happened leading up to   
   the incident and doesn’t know how long Neely was restrained or whether he   
   was armed.
