THE FILE CARD
| Case File No. | DHF-059 |
| Subject | Katie Suarez, 28, a bank teller, was stabbed while jogging on the Shore Parkway Greenway in Bath Beach, Brooklyn, on the evening of Friday 30 October 2026. She was taken to hospital in critical condition, was declared brain dead the next day, and died on Monday 2 November 2026. On Saturday 7 November 2026, the New York Police Department arrested Sayed Mohassib, 27, and charged him with murder, tampering with physical evidence and criminal possession of a weapon. He is charged, not convicted, and is presumed innocent. |
| Date | Friday 30 October 2026, around 8 p.m. (attack); Saturday 31 October 2026 (declared brain dead); Monday 2 November 2026 (death); Saturday 7 November 2026 (arrest and charges announced) |
| Location | Shore Parkway Greenway, near Bay 17th Street, Bath Beach, Brooklyn, New York, USA |
| Status | CHARGED |
| Investigating authorities | New York Police Department (NYPD); NYPD Office of the Deputy Commissioner, Public Information confirmed the arrest |
| Person charged | Sayed Mohassib, 27 — charged 7 November 2026 with murder (second-degree murder, according to police sources cited by the New York Post), tampering with physical evidence and criminal possession of a weapon. He is charged, not convicted, and is presumed innocent. No motive has been determined, and police have not said whether he and Suarez had any prior connection. |
| One-line summary | On Friday 30 October 2026, Katie Suarez, 28, was stabbed while jogging on a Brooklyn waterfront path after work. Her father found her on the path minutes later. She died three days later. For eight days police had no suspect, no camera footage of the attack and no motive — then, on Saturday 7 November 2026, they arrested Sayed Mohassib, 27, a Department of Education employee who had previously worked for the NYPD for one month, and charged him with her murder. |
Why this file is stamped CHARGED: The stamp records only the position as it stands on 7 November 2026. Sayed Mohassib, 27, has been charged with the murder of Katie Suarez, and with tampering with physical evidence and criminal possession of a weapon. A charge is not a conviction: he is presumed innocent, and no court has tested the evidence against him. The stamp has to carry the other half of the story too, because it is the half that makes this file different from a solved case. For eight days there was no suspect at all. The attack happened on a path with no fixed surveillance cameras, the motive has still not been determined, and the account of what Mohassib is said to have told police comes from police sources speaking to one newspaper — the NYPD has not confirmed it in public, and the weapon has not been recovered. This file says all of that plainly, in the same breath as the charges, because the charge and the gaps around it are both facts. If Mohassib is arraigned or pleads, or if the police or prosecutors say more about the evidence, this file will be updated, dated, and re-stamped if the facts require it — never quietly rewritten.
THE CASE
A run after work
Katie Suarez finished work on Friday 30 October 2026 and went for a run. She was 28, a bank teller at a TD Bank branch at the Caesar's Bay Shopping Center in Gravesend, Brooklyn, and a keen runner who was training for a race in November. She had met her mother near work earlier that evening — a family ritual, according to reporting at the time — and then set out alone on the Shore Parkway Greenway, the waterfront path that runs alongside the Belt Parkway in Bath Beach, overlooking Gravesend Bay.
Her parents were expecting her. She had planned to meet them after her run, and she told her father by phone that she was minutes away from their agreed meeting point. FOX 5 reported that her father was in phone contact with her when she was roughly half a mile away. Then, moments later, the contact was lost.
Her parents went looking for her along the running route. Her father found her lying on the path near Bay 17th Street and called 911. Emergency medical crews rushed her to NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn in critical condition. She was stabbed in the attack — this file will not describe the wounds beyond that, because the detail adds nothing to understanding the case and the family has already had to read it in the news. The New York Post reported that she was attacked at around 8:15 p.m.; the NYPD later narrowed the window for the assault to between 7:56 and 8:12 p.m. Either way, it happened in the early evening, on a popular path, in a residential neighbourhood where people walk, cycle and exercise along the shoreline every day.
She was declared brain dead on Saturday 31 October. She was kept on life support — her family said she was an organ donor — and on Tuesday 3 November her mother told reporters she had died the day before, on Monday 2 November. "She passed away yesterday. Katie is no longer with us, unfortunately," her mother, Yasira Suarez, said. Speaking to the killer, whoever it was, she said: "You took an angel."
Her mother also told the New York Post, earlier in the week: "She didn't deserve this. Katie was very happy, she was a person that wouldn't mess with anyone. She was someone everyone would say left a good impression in the hearts of everybody she met. She was the type of person that thought about everyone before herself." Neighbours told the same paper she was a "very professional, very kind" woman of "very good character" who worked at a local bank.
Eight days with no suspect
For eight days, the police had no suspect. That is the part of this case that frightened Brooklyn, and it is the part that explains why the arrest on 7 November was national news.
The first problem was the scene itself. The stretch of the Shore Parkway Greenway where Suarez was attacked has no fixed surveillance cameras. Detectives asked drivers who had been on the Belt Parkway that night to check their dashcams, and asked anyone with video of the area between 7 and 9 p.m. to come forward. They reviewed a licence-plate reader that had logged roughly 1,700 cars. They sent out K-9 teams, drones and scuba units. They posted signs and a digital billboard. The NYPD offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest, and Crime Stoppers took calls at 1-800-577-TIPS.
The second problem was the absence of a motive. Detectives described the attack as an apparent random assault, and FOX 5 reported that police had not said what led up to it. Police sources told the New York Post that it was not a robbery — Suarez was left with her jewellery and her phone — but that is the limit of what was said in public. No motive has been determined, and that remains true even now, after the arrest.
Detectives worked through the evidence they could collect. Earlier in the week, investigators collected forensic evidence, including clippings from the victim's fingernails, to determine whether she had struggled with her attacker, and swabbed for touch DNA on her phone and elsewhere — though, as a police source told the New York Post, DNA processing takes time. They also probed a theory that someone fishing on the promenade may have used a bait knife. None of it, in public at least, pointed at a name.
The case also drew an uncomfortable comparison. NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny acknowledged that it was eerily similar to the 2016 murder of Karina Vetrano, a 30-year-old Queens woman who was killed on a jog by a random attacker and whose body was discovered by her father. Vetrano's killer is behind bars. The parallel was not lost on anyone in New York: a young woman, a run, a father finding her, a path with no answers.
While the investigation went on, the path itself became the argument. Community leaders pressed for better lighting, cameras and patrols along the waterfront path, and mourners held a vigil on the Greenway near Bay 17th Street on the evening of Wednesday 4 November, asking the NYPD to raise the reward and assign more detectives. The vigil was reported by ABC7 New York and CBS New York. The question underneath it was simple and has not gone away: a path that thousands of people use after dark had no cameras on it, and when something terrible happened there, the police had to ask passing drivers for their dashcam video.
Saturday: an arrest
On Saturday 7 November 2026, the case changed. The NYPD's Office of the Deputy Commissioner, Public Information confirmed the arrest of Sayed Mohassib, 27, and FOX 5 New York reported that he had been charged with murder, tampering with physical evidence and criminal possession of a weapon. The New York Post, citing police sources, reported that the murder charge is second-degree murder.
Police sources told the New York Post that officers had picked Mohassib up on video leaving the Shore Parkway Greenway around the time Suarez was attacked, and then tracked him down to his home in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. That video is the part of the arrest that the reporting is clearest about — and it is worth noting what it is not. The Greenway itself has no fixed cameras. The video that identified Mohassib is described only as video showing him leaving the area around the time of the attack. Its source has not been stated in public, and this file does not guess at it.
Mohassib works for the New York City Department of Education as a paraprofessional — a teacher's aide — at PS 200, an elementary school in Bensonhurst, three blocks from the waterfront promenade. Police sources told FOX 5 that he had previously worked for the NYPD for one month. The New York Post, also citing police sources, reported that he had worked as a public school paraprofessional before joining the NYPD in 2022, was on the police force for only a month, and then left to enlist in the Marines. The same report said the Marines discharged him and his attempts to rejoin the NYPD were denied — but that account comes from police sources speaking to one newspaper, the authorities have not released details about the circumstances of his departure from the police department, and this file records the Marines claim only here, as a single-source report, not as an established fact.
Police sources also told the New York Post that Mohassib said, during questioning at the 62nd Precinct stationhouse on Saturday, that he woke up from a blackout covered in blood and with the murder weapon, and that he had thrown the knife away in the garbage. The same sources said police believe the rubbish was taken to a Staten Island landfill before ending up at a New Jersey dump, and that investigators were searching a garbage site in New Jersey in the hope of finding the weapon. None of that has been confirmed by the NYPD in public, and the weapon has not been recovered. This file reports the account exactly as it was reported — as what police sources told one newspaper — and not as a fact about what happened.
What the police have not said matters as much as what they have. They have not said what led up to the attack. They have not said whether Mohassib and Suarez had any prior connection — though the New York Post reported that both went to Brooklyn College at the same time, while adding that it is not clear whether they knew one another. They have not determined a motive. And they have not said what evidence, beyond the video and the account of the questioning, connects Mohassib to the attack. The charges are the position. The evidence behind them has not been presented in public.
What is still open
The most immediate open fact is the court process. Mohassib has been charged, not convicted. He is presumed innocent, and the charges against him — murder, tampering with physical evidence and criminal possession of a weapon — are allegations that will have to be tested in court. Until an arraignment and the evidence that follows it, this file cannot say more about the strength of the case than the charges themselves say.
The second open fact is the motive. Detectives described the attack as an apparent random assault in the days when they had no suspect, and they have still not determined a motive. Whether the attack was random, whether the two had ever met, and what happened on the path in those minutes between Suarez's last phone call and her father finding her — none of that is in the public record yet.
The third open fact is the weapon. If the account given to the New York Post is right, the knife was thrown away and the rubbish travelled through a Staten Island landfill to a New Jersey dump, where investigators were searching for it. If it is found, it will matter. If it is not found, the case will have to stand on whatever else the police have. Either way, the search itself is a reminder of how thin the physical evidence was at the start: no cameras, no weapon, and a victim who could not speak.
And there is a fourth fact, quieter than the others, that this file records because it is the one the family will live with. Katie Suarez was 28, she had finished her shift at the bank, she had met her mother, and she went for a run on a path she knew, in her own neighbourhood, in the early evening. She told her father she was minutes away. She never arrived. Her father found her. That is the shape of this case as it stands on 7 November 2026: a run that ended on a path with no cameras, eight days with no suspect, and then an arrest that raised as many questions as it answered.

- The run that evening: Suarez had finished her shift as a bank teller at a TD Bank branch at the Caesar's Bay Shopping Center in Gravesend and met her mother near work around 6:50 p.m., then set out alone on the Greenway. She had planned to meet her parents after her run and told her father by phone she was minutes away. — New York Post (3 November 2026); FOX 5 New York.
- Found by her father: Her father was in phone contact with her when she was roughly half a mile away. When contact was lost moments later, her parents went searching along the route; her father found her lying on the path and immediately called 911. — FOX 5 New York; New York Post (7 November 2026).

Her family said she was an organ donor. — FOX 5 New York; New York Post (31 October and 3 November 2026).
- Death-date variant: One aggregator reported the family as saying Suarez died on 3 November. The New York Post's 3 November report quotes her mother on Tuesday saying "She passed away yesterday", and The Sun also reports she died on Monday. This file uses Monday 2 November and records the variant here.
- Suarez the person: A Brooklyn College graduate and a bank teller at TD Bank; a keen runner training for a race in November. Her mother said: "She didn't deserve this. Katie was very happy, she was a person that wouldn't mess with anyone. She was someone everyone would say left a good impression in the hearts of everybody she met. She was the type of person that thought about everyone before herself." Neighbours called her "very professional, very kind" and of "very good character". — New York Post (31 October and 3 November 2026).
- Race variant: Her mother told the New York Post that Suarez was training for a 14 November race. FOX 5 reported she was training to run in the TCS New York City Marathon. This file says only that she was training for a race in November and records the difference here.
- No cameras at the scene: The stretch of the Greenway where Suarez was attacked has no fixed surveillance cameras. Detectives asked drivers on the Belt Parkway to check dashcams, asked anyone with video of the area between 7 and 9 p.m. to come forward, reviewed a licence-plate reader that logged roughly 1,700 cars, and deployed K-9 teams, drones and scuba units. — Rothman Report (4 November 2026); Particle (2–3 November 2026).
- Reward: The NYPD offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest; Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS. — New York Post (3 November 2026); Rothman Report.

- Not a robbery (police sources): "You can say it wasn't a robbery because she's left with her jewelry and her phone," a police source told the New York Post. — New York Post (7 November 2026, police sources only).
- The fisherman theory: Detectives probed whether someone fishing on the promenade may have used a bait knife. — New York Post (3 November 2026); Particle.
- The Vetrano comparison: NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny acknowledged the case was eerily similar to the 2016 murder of Karina Vetrano, a 30-year-old Queens woman killed on a jog by a random attacker, whose body was discovered by her father.

- The arrest (Saturday 7 November 2026): The NYPD's Office of the Deputy Commissioner, Public Information confirmed the arrest of Sayed Mohassib, 27. He is charged with murder, tampering with physical evidence and criminal possession of a weapon. The New York Post, citing police sources, reports the murder charge is second-degree murder. — FOX 5 New York (read in full); New York Post (7 November 2026, read in full).
- How he was identified (police sources): Officers picked Mohassib up on video leaving the Shore Parkway Greenway around the time Suarez was attacked, then tracked him down to his home in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. The source of the video has not been stated in public. — New York Post (7 November 2026, police sources only).
- Arrest-location variant: The New York Post reports Mohassib was tracked to his home in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. The Sun's rewrite of the same report says his New Jersey home; the New Jersey location in the reporting concerns the landfill and dump where the weapon is believed to have gone, not his home. This file uses Bensonhurst and records the variant here.
- Mohassib's work: He is employed by the New York City Department of Education as a paraprofessional (teacher's aide) at PS 200, an elementary school in Bensonhurst, three blocks from the waterfront promenade. Police sources told FOX 5 he had previously worked for the NYPD for one month. — FOX 5 New York; New York Post (7 November 2026).
- NYPD background (single-source, police sources): The New York Post reports that Mohassib worked as a public school paraprofessional before joining the NYPD in 2022, was on the force for only a month, then left to enlist in the Marines; the same report says the Marines discharged him after deeming him psychologically unfit and his attempts to rejoin the NYPD were denied. The authorities have not released details about the circumstances of his departure from the police department, and this file records the Marines claim only as a single-source report, not as an established fact. — New York Post (7 November 2026, police sources only).
- The alleged account of the questioning (single-source, police sources): Police sources told the New York Post that Mohassib said, during questioning at the 62nd Precinct stationhouse on Saturday, that he woke up from a blackout covered in blood and with the murder weapon, and that he had thrown the knife away in the garbage; the sources said police believe the rubbish was taken to a Staten Island landfill before ending up at a New Jersey dump, and investigators were searching a garbage site in New Jersey in the hope of finding the weapon. The NYPD has not confirmed this account in public, and the weapon has not been recovered. — New York Post (7 November 2026, police sources only).
- No motive, no known connection: Detectives have not determined a motive in the attack. Police have not said what led up to it or whether the suspect and victim had any prior connection. Detectives had previously described the incident as an apparent random assault. The New York Post reported that both Mohassib and Suarez went to Brooklyn College at the same time, while adding that it is not clear whether they knew one another. — New York Post (7 November 2026); FOX 5 New York.
- Presumption of innocence: Sayed Mohassib is charged, not convicted. The charges against him are allegations, and he is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. No other person is named as a suspect in any source relied on here.
- What is NOT evidence in this file: any account of a motive (none determined); any account of what happened on the path beyond the attack itself (not in the public record); any claim about the evidence connecting Mohassib to the attack beyond the video and the reported account of the questioning (not presented in public); any claim from social-media comments about any person's guilt, innocence, or past (NOT used — see the fact log).
STILL UNKNOWN
- What is the motive? Detectives have not determined a motive in the attack. They described it as an apparent random assault before the arrest, and nothing in the reporting since the arrest has supplied one.
- Did Mohassib and Suarez know each other? Police have not said whether the suspect and victim had any prior connection. Both went to Brooklyn College at the same time, according to the New York Post, but it is not clear whether they knew one another.
- What is the evidence behind the charges? Beyond the video described by police sources and the reported account of the questioning, the evidence connecting Mohassib to the attack has not been presented in public in any source relied on here.
- Where is the weapon? If the account given to the New York Post is right, the knife was thrown away and the rubbish travelled through a Staten Island landfill to a New Jersey dump, where investigators were searching for it. It has not been recovered.
- What happened on the path? What led up to the attack, and what happened in the minutes between Suarez's last phone call and her father finding her, is not in the public record in any source relied on here.
- What will the trial show? Mohassib is presumed innocent. The evidence will be tested in court, and this file will follow it.
What would change this file: if Sayed Mohassib is arraigned, pleads, or is tried; if the weapon is recovered; if the NYPD or prosecutors say publicly what evidence connects Mohassib to the attack, or what the motive was; if the NYPD confirms or disputes the reported account of the questioning; or if any further official statement is made about the case, this file will be updated with the date, the source, and the new stamp if the facts require it — never quietly rewritten. Until then, the stamp stays CHARGED.
If you have information: Detectives are still asking anyone who drove on the Belt Parkway between 7 and 9 p.m. on Friday 30 October 2026 to check their dashcam video, and anyone with information to call NYPD Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (800-577-8477). Do not share speculation about the case on social media while the case is active.
