![]() ![]() ![]() New York police officers respond to the scene where a fight was reported on a subway train, Monday, May 1, 2023, in New York. The agency places additional focus on trying to find those on the list and give them the help they need, the source explained.ĬNN has reached out to NYC DHS for comment. The list is generally not made public but is compiled in hopes that outreach organizations will be on the lookout for those individuals and alert the city’s homeless services department to intervene, the source said. Charges have not been filed in the case, which is under investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.īefore his death, Neely had been on a NYC Department of Homeless Services list of the city’s homeless with acute needs – sometimes referred to internally as the “Top 50” list – because individuals on the list tend to disappear, a source told CNN. His death has been ruled a homicide by New York City’s medical examiner, but the ruling does not determine whether there was intent or culpability, which is a matter for the criminal justice system to consider. Neely, a 30-year-old street artist known for his Michael Jackson impersonations, was restrained and forced to the floor in a fatal chokehold by another passenger after he started shouting that he was hungry, thirsty and had little to live for. Jordan Neely, the man who died last week after being held in a chokehold on a New York City subway, was on a list of homeless people identified as having dire needs, according to a source familiar with his case. ![]()
