Sayed Mohassib, a former NYPD officer and teacher's aide, has been arrested and charged with the murder of Katie Suarez, a jogger who was stabbed in Brooklyn on October 30. Mohassib, who had only worked for the NYPD for a brief period in 2022, was seen on surveillance video walking to the location of the attack and fleeing the scene afterward.
He told police he went to the path with a knife due to fears for his family's safety, but prosecutors allege he tampered with evidence by disposing of bloody clothes and attempting to clean his hands. Mohassib has been suspended from his teaching job pending the outcome of the case, and the NYPD has stated that his background raises concerns about his employment in a public school.
