Sioux Falls, SD, October 28, 2026 —
A new book revisits the 2023 killing of Jordan Neely, a man in crisis who died after former Marine Daniel Penny placed him in a fatal chokehold on a New York City subway. The available information identifies the book’s subject but does not provide details about its author, title, publication date or reporting.
Neely’s death is the central event described in the summary. It says the incident took place on the NYC subway and characterizes Neely as a man in crisis. It does not give further information about the circumstances leading up to the chokehold, the length of the encounter or what happened immediately afterward.
The summary also does not explain how the book approaches the case, whether it includes interviews or documents, or what new material, if any, it presents. It provides no statements from the author, Neely’s relatives, Penny or other people connected to the incident. Without those details, the book’s perspective and reporting cannot be assessed.
No information was provided about legal proceedings or their outcome, and none is included here. The summary likewise does not specify where or when the book will be published. Those details remain unconfirmed based on the information available.
The stated focus is a retrospective account of a killing that occurred in 2023. Further information about the book and the incident would be needed to describe its findings, the author’s methods or the broader context in which it places Neely’s death.
