Requested move 4 May 2023

Death of Jordan NeelyKilling of Jordan Neely – It has already been ruled a homicide, several reliable sources call it a killing (e.g., [1], [2], [3], etc.), and the article clearly mentions Jordan being killed. This is usually the norm followed in similar articles at this stage of the investigation, when it has been established as a killing but not necessarily as a murder, e.g., for Eric Garner.

  • Support It is an objective truth (the medical examiner's office has confirmed that it was a homicide), so it would be a more accurate article's title. Salvabl (talk) 12:34, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support It's extrajudicial and has already been ruled a homicide. The evidence that it's a killing is also overwhelming with footage of the incident. LoomCreek (talk) 01:28, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Name of killer

None of the sources cited, as of this moment, name Daniel Penny as the killer. The name was added to the article by Bill3602, citing no sources. There are threads on twitter identifying him based on an apparent editorial slip-up, but that's no reliable source. I thus removed the name until a reliable source names him.

Agree. I can find no RS for now. WWGB (talk) 06:45, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
