@occonews: New York police announced on November 7 that they had arrested Sayed Mohassib, 27, in the killing of Brooklyn jogger Katie Suarez. He faces charges including second-degree murder, tampering with physical evidence and criminal possession of a weapon. Mohassib most recently worked as a school aide at P.S. 200 in Brooklyn and briefly served in the NYPD in 2022. Suarez, 28, was attacked while running along the Shore Parkway Greenway in Bath Beach on the evening of October 30. She was supposed to meet her parents but failed to arrive and stopped answering calls. Her parents searched for her, and her father found her critically injured. She died in the hospital three days later. Investigators said surveillance and other evidence linked Mohassib to the scene. NBC, citing law-enforcement sources, reported that cameras also recorded him discarding garbage bags near his home that night, prompting a search for possible evidence. Reporting does not consistently establish that the weapon has been recovered, so that should not be presented as a confirmed fact. His employment history has drawn scrutiny. NBC reported that he began working as an NYPD rookie in the Bronx in October 2022, entered military service about a month later and subsequently resigned from the police department. An attempt to rejoin the NYPD was rejected. Details about psychiatric evaluations and his military discharge come primarily from law-enforcement sources and do not establish a motive for this attack. The city’s Department of Education said Mohassib had been suspended and that it was supporting the investigation. Local elected officials have called for a review of his hiring and continued employment. Police believe the attack may have been random, but no clear motive has been announced. Both attended Brooklyn College, although that does not establish that they knew each other.
