Brooklyn resident Katie Suarez was out jogging on the evening of October 30, 2026. After she failed to meet her parents, her father found her injured along Shore Parkway with stab wounds on her neck. She was rushed to the hospital, where she died three days later from her injuries. Katie Suarez was only 28 years old. Katie’s mother, Yasira Suarez, explained to CBS, “I would always join her on her runs, but that evening I stayed behind waiting for her.” When Katie didn’t show up after 10 minutes, her parents went out looking for her. “Since she didn’t arrive, my husband and I went out to look for her.

It was in that moment I knew something happened to her.” NYPD officials confirmed the arrest of 27-year-old Sayed Mohassib over the weekend, as per Fox.
