Ex-NYPD Officer Charged In Jogger Killing

A teacher’s aide who briefly worked as a New York City police officer has been charged with murder in connection with the fatal stabbing of a jogger, according to court documents. Sayed Mohassib was arrested Saturday, more than a week after 28-year-old Katie Suarez was stabbed in the neck while jogging in Brooklyn. He was working for the New York City Department of Education, the department confirmed Sunday. The department has suspended Mohassib and will move to terminate his employment pending the outcome of the case, it said in a statement to CNN. “The safety of our students is our very top priority,” the statement read. “We are supporting the NYPD in their investigation however is needed.” “This attack on Katie Suarez was horrific,” New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Monday. The mayor said the city’s hearts are with her loved ones, “who have been shattered by this,” and stressed “our commitment to hold the individual responsible fully accountable.” For Suarez’s parents, the arrest brings no undoing of that night: a frantic search along a dark path, and the moment her father found their only daughter bleeding beneath a tree. “She never thought that something like this could happen to her,” Suarez’s mother, Yasira Suarez, told CNN affiliate WABC. “I would always tell her, ‘Honey, you have to be careful, you have to be careful,’ and she would say, ‘Ma, nothing is going to happen to me, ma I’ll be fine, nothing is going to happen to me, ma.’” Now, in the wake of Suarez’s death, details about Mohassib’s past are gaining scrutiny, and Suarez’s parents are left mourning a daughter they were waiting for less than a mile from the attack.
