POLICY WIRE — Brooklyn, New York — A 27-year-old former police officer has been taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder following the fatal attack on a 28-year-old woman who was jogging in Brooklyn.
Sayed Mohassib, who currently works as a public school aide and previously served a brief stint with the NYPD, was arrested Saturday in connection with the death of Katie Suarez.
The incident occurred on October 30 while Suarez was on a run along the Shore Parkway Greenway in the Bath Beach neighborhood. Suarez was stabbed during the encounter and tragically succumbed to her injuries several days later.
