New York City Mayor Eric Adams said on May 4 that social media-driven calls declaring a homeless man’s subway death a murder are premature and “very irresponsible,” responding to a claim made by a left-wing Democrat lawmaker.

Jordan Neely, who died after being restrained by other subway passengers, was reportedly yelling and threatening others on the train. A 24-year-old Marine veteran reportedly placed him in what appears to be a chokehold while other passengers restrained him.
