Ex-con stabbed dead harassing riders on Brooklyn subway train; manslaughter charge for suspect in case similar to Jordan Neely death

A Queens man faces a manslaughter charge in the stabbing death of an ex-con who harassed riders on a Brooklyn-bound subway train, police said Thursday.

Jordan Williams, 20, is also charged with weapons possession in the death of Devictor Ouedraogo, 36, during a brawl on a J train as it headed over the Williamsburg Bridge at about 8:10 p.m. on Tuesday, said cops.

Ouedraogo had just harassed a woman on the train when Williams and his companion intervened, according to sources and videos of the incident.

The fatal clash is hauntingly similar to the recent death of Jordan Neely, a subway busker and Michael Jackson impersonator who died from a fatal chokehold after a Marine veteran tried to stop him from acting out on a crowded Manhattan train.

As the train headed over the bridge into Brooklyn, Ouedraogo, who appeared to be drunk, started harassing commuters, multiple witnesses told police. Two videos shared with the Daily News also show him bothering straphangers.

His actions sparked an argument with Williams and a woman accompanying him — and the feud quickly turned into a bloody brawl as the train pulled into the Marcy Ave. station in Williamsburg, cops said.

During the fight, Williams pulled a pocket knife and stabbed the harassing ex-con in the chest, cops said.

“I just stabbed that n-----,” the suspect, who on the video is dressed in blue, told witnesses. “You see him leaking?”

One video seen by the Daily News shows Ouedraogo, who wasn’t wearing a shirt and slurred his words, getting into the face of a young man seated on the train minding his own business.

As the straphanger tried his best not to respond, Ouedraogo began gyrating in front of him, the video shows.

At the end of the video, another commuter shows up and tried to calm Ouedraogo, and hands him his shirt.

The second video shows bedlam on the train car as a fight breaks out between Ouedraogo and Williams.

Ouedraogo was apparently bothering a woman seated on the train when another woman in a tan dress started screaming at him.

“Don’t f---ing touch her you piece of s---!” one woman screamed.

Williams ran over and started grappling with the ex-con. The commuter who earlier had tried to calm ex-con Ouedraogo tried to pull the two apart.

Commuters ran to the back of the subway car as Ouedraogo and Williams clashed, the video shows.

“Get your f---ing hands off of him!” the woman in the dress screamed.

After a few moments, Ouedraogo backed away, his chest covered in blood, the video shows.

“You just stabbed him?” another man on the train asked Williams. “You’re going to go to jail!”

Wounded, Ouedraogo remained upright for a few more seconds before stumbling out of the train when the doors opened and collapsing on the platform, according to sources.

He was taken to New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital but could not be saved, cops said.

Ouedraogo did three years in prison in 2009 following an attempted robbery conviction in Queens, according to court records.

Williams and his companion remained on the train after the argument. They were apprehended a few stops down the line, at the Chauncey St. station in Bedford Stuyvesant, cops said. The folding knife used in the attack was found in Williams’ possession, police said.

The couple was taken in for questioning, cops said. The woman was later released after detectives learned she did not take part in the stabbing.

Williams, of St. Albans, remained in custody Wednesday, cops said.

Neely was acting out on an F train heading toward the Broadway-Lafayette station in NoHo on May 1 when Marine veteran Daniel Penny put him in a fatal chokehold.

The busker fell unconscious on the train and was taken to Lenox Hill Hospital, where he died. Penny was charged with manslaughter.

In newly recorded interviews released Sunday by his attorneys, Penny said he wasn’t “trying to choke him to death” but just wanted to hold Neely long enough for cops to intervene.

“I was trying to keep him on the ground until the police came,” Penny, 24, said in the videos posted on the Law & Crime Network Youtube channel. “I was praying that the police would come and take this situation over. I didn’t want to be put in that situation, but I couldn’t just sit still and let him carry out these threats.”
