A Brooklyn grand jury has indicted Sayed Mohassib for second-degree murder.[^1] He is accused of killing Katie Suarez, a jogger.[^2] Mohassib is 27.[^3] He is accused; no court has found him guilty of anything.

## The attack

Suarez was attacked while jogging in Brooklyn on 30 October.[^4] The killing happened in Bath Beach.[^5] She was 28.[^6] She called her father at 7:56 p.m., shortly before the attack.[^7] Her father found her body shortly before 8 p.m. that evening, amNY reported.[^8] ABC News reported that she died several days after being stabbed.[^9] The two reports differ on when she died. She died of two stab wounds to the neck.[^10] Both outlets give her age as 28 and his as 27.[^6][^11]

## The arrest

Mohassib was arrested more than a week after the attack.[^12] He was 27 at the time of his arrest.[^11] Blood was found on a wall inside his apartment, amNY reported.[^13] He left his home while disposing of evidence, the same report said.[^14]

## The accused

Mohassib worked as a teacher's aide at a public elementary school in Brooklyn.[^15] He worked at PS 200, with children, in the days after the killing.[^16] He has since been dismissed from the school job.[^17] He had been discharged from the Marines after failing a psychological evaluation.[^18] ABC News reported both the school job and the dismissal from it.[^15][^17]

## Where the case stands

The grand jury indictment on second-degree murder moves the case from a police complaint to a formal charge.[^1] ABC News reported the indictment and the timing of the arrest.[^1][^12] amNY reported the scene, the cause of death and the evidence found in the apartment.[^5][^10][^13] Neither report in this set says how Mohassib will plead to the indictment. The record so far holds a date, 30 October, a place, Bath Beach, a cause of death, two stab wounds, and an arrest more than a week later.[^5][^10][^12] The question of guilt is now before the court.
