New York City police announced Saturday the arrest of Sayed Mohassib, 27, in connection with the killing of Katie Suarez, who was fatally stabbed while jogging in Brooklyn.

Mohassib, a teacher's aide at a Brooklyn elementary school near the crime scene, was arrested after detectives allegedly developed evidence placing him at the scene of the attack, according to the NYPD. He has been charged with second-degree murder.

Suarez, 28, was attacked on Oct. 30 while jogging along the Belt Parkway waterfront in Brooklyn. She was stabbed in the neck and succumbed to her injuries three days later. She had called her father around 8 p.m. to report she was about a half-mile from home.

When Suarez did not return, her parents began searching for her. Her father discovered her with a stab wound to the neck, according to NYPD Chief of Detectives Joe Kenny. The motive for the attack was not immediately revealed by investigators.

A source familiar with the investigation indicated that Mohassib had previously worked for the NYPD but was removed for psychological reasons. The source also stated that Mohassib was discharged from the Marines for mental health issues and was unsuccessful in a subsequent attempt to rejoin the NYPD.

No attorney information was available for Mohassib at the time of the announcement. The arrest comes more than a week after Suarez was attacked, and the investigation involved evidence gathered by detectives.

Suarez's family reported her death earlier in the week, highlighting the tragic loss of the young jogger. The incident has raised concerns among local residents about safety in public spaces.

Investigators are continuing to work on the case, seeking to fully understand the circumstances and any potential connections between the suspect and the victim. Further details are expected as the legal proceedings develop.
