A week after Jordan Neely’s death, New Yorkers continue to grapple with brutal killing of the homeless Michael Jackson impersonator who was choked out by a Marine riding the F train on May 1.
Those mourning the loss of Neely constructed a makeshift memorial at the entrance to the subway station where he lost his life. Broadway and East Houston Street on the Lower East Side was adorned with flowers, candles, signs, and messages of love drawn in chalk on May 7.
However, while the signs and flowers had been removed come Monday morning, the notes written in chalk reading “Jordan Neely #RidingwhileBlack” and “RIP Jordan Neely” remained as straphangers came and went.
