Daniel Penny, recently acquitted in a controversial case involving the death of Jordan Neely, had a serendipitous meeting with Aubrey Strobel, a filmmaker, at a Manhattan bodega. Strobel, recognizing Penny, expressed her support and admiration for his bravery. Penny responded with humility and kindness, and they shared a moment discussing their neighborhood. Their interaction was captured in a now-viral selfie, which led to playful speculation online about their potential relationship, highlighting a positive neighborhood reaction amid recent tensions.
Penny was acquitted on charges of criminally negligent homicide on Dec. 9 in the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely.
Strobel snapped a selfie with Penny, then posted it on her X profile alongside the caption, 'new york just feels safe nowadays.'
Penny was like, 'Thank you so much,' in a really humble way, almost self-deprecating - he was just really kind, really warm.
A lot of people on X think we're getting married now, because the picture does look a little romantic with him holding the flowers.
