An indictment is expected against 27‑year‑old Sayed Mohassib Brooklyn in the fatal stabbing of jogger. Mohassib has pleaded not guilty to all charges including second‑degree murder, tampering with physical evidence, fourth‑degree criminal possession of a weapon.
Authorities allege Mohassib attacked Katie Suarez while she was jogging. Court documents state he told detectives he carried a knife to the path because he believed “people were going to kill his family.” He denied stabbing anyone but allegedly admitted disposing of bloody clothing and the knife. Surveillance footage reportedly shows him coming outside in his underwear to throw away bloody clothes.

At the time of arrest, Mohassib was working as a teacher’s aide at P.S. 200 in Brooklyn. He had a brief NYPD tenure in 2022, later served in the Marine Corps, was discharged on psychiatric grounds, and had been denied reinstatement to the NYPD.
