A Brooklyn grand jury is expected to return an indictment as early as Tuesday against Sayed Mohassib, 27, who is charged in the stabbing death of Katie Suarez, 28, while she jogged along the Shore Parkway Greenway on Oct. 30, ABC7 New York reported¹.

Mohassib is charged with second-degree murder, tampering with physical evidence and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, ABC7 New York and CBS News said^1,2. The NYPD announced his arrest on Saturday^2,9.

Suarez was stabbed in the neck while running near Shore Parkway and Bay 17th Street; her father found her after she failed to meet her parents, CBS News and ABC News reported^2,9. She died days later⁹.

The New York City Department of Education suspended Mohassib after the arrest and terminated him Monday, ABC7 New York said, after he had worked as a teacher’s aide at P.S. 200^1,2. Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he directed a review of the hiring circumstances¹.

NJ.com, citing court records and NBC News, said Mohassib pleaded not guilty and that investigators described the attack as appearing random⁴. Court papers cited in that account said he told detectives he went to the path with a knife and later claimed he blacked out⁴. ABC7 New York said documents attributed to him a belief that people were going to kill his family¹.

ABC News, citing a source, said detectives developed evidence they say placed him at the scene and that he had a brief NYPD stint and a Marines discharge tied to mental-health issues⁹. Local officials quoted by CBS News called for an investigation of how he was hired by the schools². Mohassib remains in custody; whether the grand jury returns an indictment Tuesday is not yet on the public record¹.
