A House resolution aims to correct the record of what occurred earlier this month when U.S. Marine veteran Daniel Penny placed a homeless man, Jordan Neely, in a fatal chokehold on a New York subway train.

Neely’s May 1 death—ruled a homicide by the medical examiner’s office—sparked protests across the city and ultimately resulted in Penny being charged with manslaughter by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
