Jordan Neely, the man killed in chokehold on NYC subway, is remembered as an entertainer shattered by his mother’s murder

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:50:20 GMT

(CNN) — Before Jordan Neely was killed on a New York City subway car this week, he was known for his swift Michael Jackson dance moves that entertained many — yet he struggled with the trauma his mother’s murder had left him with at an early age.“He told me about how much his mother’s passing impacted him. He disclosed that she was murdered, and her body was put in a suitcase,” Moses Harper, an artist who knew Neely, told CNN.Harper and Neely became friends quickly after they met in 2009. When she took him under her wing, Neely opened up to her about how hard it was losing his mother as a young teenager.“It traumatized him. He was not expecting that, the brutal way she was taken. That had a big impact on him. The brutality behind that, that traumatized him,” Harper told CNN. “This kid has cried in front of me. That hurt him in his heart.”On Monday afternoon, Neely was killed after being held in a chokehold by a Marine v...

3 takeaways from the Chicago Cubs’ 1-6 road trip, including Jameson Taillon’s return and Miguel Amaya’s impressive debut

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:50:20 GMT

The one-run losses keep piling up for the Chicago Cubs.The Cubs are tied for the second-best run differential in the National League, but wasted scoring chances thwarted a 1-6 trip to Miami and Washington, where they suffered five one-run losses. Their 4-3 defeat to the Nationals on Thursday included one hit — on a ball lost in the sun — through seven innings against the struggling Patrick Corbin. An three-run rally in the eight inning to tie the game did not last long. Nationals outfielder Alex Call hit a walk-off home run on the first pitch right-hander Brad Boxberger threw in the bottom of the ninth to drop the Cubs to 15-16.“It’s going to happen during the course of the season,” Ian Happ said. “That’s obviously frustrating for everybody, but it’s part of it. I don’t think as an offense we’re pressing individually and just understanding that it’ll come, you just have to keep going about it.”The return to Wrig...

Temperature Check: Injured Yankees far from where they want to be entering Rays series

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:50:20 GMT

After a little more than a month of baseball, the Yankees have some serious concerns as the last place club begins a three-game weekend road series with the division-leading Rays.The Bombers are coming off two straight wins over the Guardians at Yankee Stadium, but those victories were hardly easy following a four-game losing streak and a 2-5 road trip to Minnesota and Texas. With a 17-15 overall record, an injured list in the double-digits, three inconsistent replacement starters, and a middle-of-the-pack offense dependent on fill-ins, the Yankees are far from where they want or expected to be entering their showdown with Tampa Bay, which is an major league-best 26-6 after starting the year 13-0.“It doesn’t change the urgency of the day if they were .500 or 30 games ahead,” Aaron Boone said of the Rays earlier this week. “We gotta play well. If we play well over the long haul of the season, we’ll be in a good place at the end.”Brian Cashman deliv...

Karen Read defense: Problematic investigation into John O’Keefe’s death grabs federal attention

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:50:20 GMT

Among the many fireworks at the most recent hearing in the case of Karen Read, charged with killing her boyfriend John O’Keefe last year, is the defense’s claim that the investigation is so troubled that the federal government has opened up a case to look into it.“It’s been reported that federal authorities have now gotten involved in the circumstances surrounding this case and have impaneled a grand jury, federal grand jury, to investigate some of these circumstances,” defense attorney Alan Jackson said in Norfolk Superior Court Wednesday afternoon.“But Karen Read should not have to wait for the feds to figure out which heads should roll.”A day later, the feds didn’t have much to say to clarify the matter. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s office said: “We do not confirm or deny investigations.” The FBI had the same answer, “as a matter of longstanding policy.”The case has brought about significant public attention — from both sides — which filled the second-f...

Statistics Canada says economy added 41,000 jobs in April, unemployment rate 5.0%

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:50:20 GMT

Statistics Canada says the economy added 41,000 jobs last month, all in part-time work.According to its latest labour force survey, the unemployment rate held steady at 5.0 per cent for the fifth consecutive month.That’s just above the all-time low of 4.9 per cent reached last summer.The job gains in April were led by the wholesale and retail trade industry, while the largest losses occurred in business, building and other support services.With the labour market remaining relatively tight, average hourly wages were up 5.2 per cent compared with a year ago, growing faster than inflation.The Bank of Canada has been warning that a tight labour market will make it more difficult to get inflation back to two per cent, as higher wages could put upward pressure on prices.
