Daniel Penny
Daniel Penny is on trial for manslaughter.

A Manhattan jury appears to be deadlocked over whether 26-year-old Marine veteran Daniel Penny committed manslaughter and negligent homicide in the chokehold death of an unarmed Black man on a New York subway.

"We the jury request instructions from Judge Wiley. At this time, we are unable to come to a unanimous vote on count one," a note from the jury read Friday, according to WABC-TV.

This is a developing story.
