Sanchez’s 911 call was one of several that prosecutors aired during their case against Daniel Penny, the former Marine who put homeless street artist Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold on a New York City subway in May 2023. Later, Sanchez took cell phone video of first responders treating Neely, who appeared limp and non-responsive.

A former Marine combat instructor testified that Daniel Penny misused a combat maneuver when he fatally choked Jordan Neely aboard a Manhattan subway, saying he appeared to have attempted a “blood choke” and should’ve known to let go after Neely lost consciousness.
