Daniel Penny was indicted by a grand jury on Wednesday on a second-degree manslaughter charge in the killing of Jordan Neely, NBC News reported.
Last month, the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced the charges against Penny. “We can confirm that Daniel Penny will be arrested on a charge of Manslaughter in the Second Degree,” a spokesperson for Bragg said. “We cannot provide any additional information until he has been arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court, which we expect to take place tomorrow.”
