Original Note:
Lynching is defined by PBS as an act of terror meant to spread fear among the black community. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/emmett-lynching-america/ There is no indication that this event matches the definition of a lynching. The DA took the subdoer into custody and released him without charges. The investigation is ongoing. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12044033/Protests-New-York-Citys-subway-death-Jordan-Neely-hands-Marine-veteran.html
