The New York Post says Sayed Mohassib was arraigned late Saturday in Brooklyn criminal court and ordered held.
Marie Pohl and Ella Morrison, published Nov. 7, 2026, at 11:49 p.m. ET, reported prosecutors told a Brooklyn criminal court judge that Katie Suarez's blood was on the walls of Sayed Mohassib's Bensonhurst apartment and that he said he had tried to clean it. They reported charges of second-degree murder, weapons possession, and tampering with evidence, and a next date of Nov. 10. ABC7's Sunday page, stamped 5:34 a.m., does not report the arraignment.

Tried to clean, and scrub, are not the same verb. Weapons possession, and tampering with evidence, are on the arraignment story. They were not the Saturday afternoon charge line. Mandery, and Mandrey, are not the same spelling. Punctured wounds, and stabbed, and slashed, are not the same word. The Post reports an arraignment. It does not report a plea. A charge is not a conviction.
The New York Post, by Marie Pohl and Ella Morrison, published Nov. 7, 2026, at 11:49 p.m. ET, reported Sayed Mohassib, 27, was arraigned late Saturday in Brooklyn criminal court. It reported he stood in flip-flops and a matching Von Dutch outfit. It reported prosecutors said police had found Katie Suarez's blood splattered on his apartment walls, shortly after he was found at his Bensonhurst address earlier in the day, and that he had tried to scrub it away. Assistant District Attorney Jordan Rossman said, "The defendant stated that he had tried to clean the blood." Tried to clean, in the quotation, and scrub, in the opening, are not the same verb. Splattered, and all over, are both in the Post's account and are not the same word. Rossman also said Mohassib "made admissions and there are video recordings," and that Suarez later died at the hospital from "punctured wounds to the neck." The Post said prosecutors gave no further details and did not give a motive. Punctured wounds, in that quotation, and stabbed, and slashed, in the earlier accounts already in this file, are not the same word. Mohassib said nothing at the hearing except to correct Judge John McPadden's pronunciation of his name. McPadden ordered him to remain behind bars and not get a psychiatric evaluation after his attorney, Edward Mandery, said one was not needed "at this time." The next sentence on the page spells the lawyer Mandrey and says he asked that the former cop turned school para professional be placed in protective custody. Mandery, and Mandrey, are not the same spelling. A para, a teacher's aide, and a school para professional are not the same title, and all three are now in this file. Mandery told the Post, "I just want to make sure my client doesn't get hurt," and, "I don't know if you guys heard there has been a lot of media attention on this case." The Post reported he was charged with second-degree murder, weapons possession, and tampering with evidence, and that the next court date is Nov. 10. Weapons possession, and tampering with evidence, are not in the Saturday afternoon stories already in this file. Those stories said second-degree murder, or a murder charge. Bensonhurst is the address on this arraignment story. Earlier pages in this file did not agree on the city of the home. No plea is printed.
ABC7 New York, by Brian Shlonsky, is stamped Sunday, November 8, 2026, at 5:34 a.m., with no zone on that line. It does not report an arraignment, a judge, a lawyer, blood on apartment walls, weapons possession, tampering with evidence, or a Nov. 10 date. It reported Mohassib was escorted out of the 62nd Precinct on Saturday after his arrest in the Oct. 30 killing in Bath Beach. It reported Suarez, 28, was stabbed twice in the neck, and that her father found her bleeding in the grass after she failed to arrive for a planned meeting. Twice is this page. Punctured wounds are the Post. It reported detectives later obtained video from the Caesar's Bay Shopping Center, where she worked at a bank, identified Mohassib in it, and recovered a knife from a landfill on Staten Island. Caesar's Bay is not in the Saturday accounts already in this file. It reported he told detectives he did not remember the killing but recalled being covered in blood. That is the Saturday memory account. It is not Rossman's account of admissions and recordings. It reported he had kept working as a teacher's aide at P.S. 200 in Bensonhurst in the days after the killing. It named State Sen. Stephen Chan, then attributed the quotation to Chen: "That is an atrocity on its own. I can't believe that our our children and our other teachers and staff members was actually in danger all this time." Chan, and Chen, are not the same name. The doubled our, and was, are on the page. A Department of Education statement on that page says, "The safety of our students is our very top priority. We have suspended this individual and will move to terminate employment pending the outcome of the arrest." Pending the outcome of the arrest, on this page, is not a sentence already in this file. It reported that, according to police, he briefly served with the NYPD in 2022 before leaving for the Marines, and that a later attempt to return ended in a referral for a psychological evaluation. A referral for a psychological evaluation, here, and a Bellevue referral, already in this file, are not the same sentence. It reported police also said that in 2024 his mother and sister called 911 and said he had threatened to "chop them up." It reported investigators believe the stabbing may have been a random attack, and that the only known possible connection is that both attended Brooklyn College. May have been random, and the only known possible connection, are both on that page. This Sunday page does not print his age. The 27 is the earlier pages and the Post's arraignment story.
ABC7 New York's page, stamped Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 6:20 p.m., with no zone printed on that line, reported police arrested Sayed Mohassib, 27, at his New York City home and charged him with second-degree murder in the killing of Katie Suarez, 28. It reported she was fatally stabbed while running on the Shore Parkway Greenway on Oct. 30. It reported that, according to information obtained by Eyewitness News, Mohassib made statements linking himself to the killing, that police say he told detectives he did not remember the murder but recalled being covered in blood, and that they allege he discarded the knife, which was later traced to a Staten Island landfill. The New York Post, by Joe Marino and Katherine Donlevy, updated at 1:01 p.m. ET on Nov. 7, reported he was charged with second-degree murder Saturday for the slaying along the Shore Parkway Greenway promenade. It reported officers tracked him to his home after video caught him leaving the park around the time of the attack, and that he told police he has no memory of it but woke from a blackout covered in blood and with the murder weapon. A caption on that page says he has admitted to slashing her. A Post headline indexed at 12:08 p.m. ET said he admitted the slashing. The 1:01 p.m. headline says he was arrested. Admitted, and a statement that he did not remember, are not the same account. ABC7's word is statements. The Post's body says he claimed he does not remember. amNewYork, by Dean Moses, posted on Nov. 7, reported police sources said he was booked Saturday on a murder charge, that he woke covered in blood, and that he claimed not to have any memory. A murder charge, and second-degree murder, are not the same count as those pages print them. amNewYork does not print second-degree.
The 6:20 p.m. ABC7 page says the arrest was at his New York City home. A search snapshot of that same ABC7 URL, stamped 5:37 p.m., said the arrest was at his New Jersey home. The page read for this update does not say New Jersey. The Post says officers tracked him to his home and does not name the city. amNewYork and the Daily Mail do not name the city. New York City home, and New Jersey home, are not the same place. On the knife, the Post reported investigators believe he ditched it in the garbage, that it went to a Staten Island landfill, and that it then landed at a New Jersey dump. ABC7 reported it was traced to a Staten Island landfill and does not mention a dump. The Daily Mail, by Claudia Aoraha, published at 12:24 p.m. EDT and updated at 12:30 p.m. EDT on Nov. 7, reported investigators believe he put the weapon in the garbage, and it does not mention a landfill or a dump. It attributed the no-memory account to the Post. A Staten Island landfill, a New Jersey dump, and the garbage are not the same place. A New Jersey dump is the Post's account of the knife. It is not an address for the arrest.
ABC7's 6:20 p.m. page reported the only known connection is that both attended Brooklyn College. It reported he briefly worked for the NYPD in 2022 before resigning to join the Marines, that he was later discharged, that an attempt to return was referred to Bellevue Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, and that he did not rejoin. It reported he was most recently a teacher's aide at P.S. 200 in Bensonhurst. The 5:37 p.m. snapshot said he was removed from the NYPD for psychological reasons, discharged from the Marines for mental health issues, and unsuccessful in an attempt to rejoin. Removed for psychological reasons, and resigned to join the Marines, are not the same sentence. A Bellevue referral on the way back, and a discharge for mental health issues, are not the same sentence. The Post reported he had worked as a public school para before joining the NYPD in 2022, that he worked one month before he left for the Marines, that the military discharged him as psychologically unfit, and that attempts to rejoin the NYPD were denied. It reported he returned to the Department of Education, worked as a teacher's aide at PS 200 in Bensonhurst, and returned to the school after the attack. A caption on the Post page says he was kicked off the NYPD. Kicked off, resigned, and left after one month are not the same account. A para, and a teacher's aide, are not the same title. The Daily Mail spelled the neighborhood Bensonhurs and reported he left the Marines, was denied a return to the police, and joined the Department of Education as a teacher's aide. The Post reported colleagues said he was speaking incoherently and acting erratically, that they told police, and that those reports were not what led to the arrest. It reported both went to Brooklyn College and that it is not clear if they knew one another. The Daily Mail reported police have not confirmed whether they knew one another. The only known connection, and not knowing whether they knew one another, are not the same finding. The Post reported he played freshman basketball at Brooklyn College, nineteen minutes over three games in the 2018-2019 season, with 10 points, five rebounds, one assist, and three turnovers, according to the Brooklyn College Athletics Department. It reported Suarez was not robbed or sexually assaulted, and that her family said she had no known enemies or boyfriends.
The arraignment is above. The arrest and the charge, as Saturday's earlier pages had them, are above this paragraph. The death and the search, as they stood before an arrest, are below. CBS News New York, updated Nov. 3, 2026, at 3:58 p.m. EST, reported Suarez died Monday at the hospital and that her mother, Yasira Suarez, told the station. ABC7 reported the family said she died Monday night. NBC New York reported the mother confirmed Monday night. Monday at the hospital, and Monday night, are not the same sentence. The Post reported she was pronounced brain dead and kept on life support so her organs could be donated. FOX 5 had reported she remained in critical condition on life support. Brain dead, and critical on life support, are not the same status. CBS reported Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said her father found her around 8:15 p.m. under a tree at Bay 17th Street on Shore Parkway with a stab wound to the neck. ABC7 had reported stab wounds. NBC reported detectives said she was stabbed in the neck twice. The Post reported she had been slashed on either side of her neck, and a caption used slashed. The Daily Mail's Saturday story said she was knifed in the neck just after 8 p.m. and that her father found her on a grassy area. Slashed, stabbed, and knifed are not the same word. A stab wound, stab wounds, and twice are not the same count. On the path, and on the grass, are not the same place. The Post's Saturday story says she sent a final message that she was five minutes away. Earlier accounts in this file described a phone call to her father. A message, and a call, are not the same word. amNewYork quoted Kenny on a blood trail of about 150 feet eastbound and on wounds traveling upward through the neck into the oral cavity. About 150 feet, and the Post's earlier about 100 feet, are not the same distance. Eastbound, which is also FOX 5's direction, and westbound, which is the Post's, are not the same direction. CBS, ABC7, and NBC each reported a $10,000 reward and, before Saturday, no arrest. FOX 5's figure already in this file was a reward of up to $3,200. Those are not the same offer. The Post reported her mother said she was training for a Nov. 14 running race, and it quoted Yasira Suarez from earlier in the week, that Katie did not deserve this and that she was very happy and a person who would not mess with anyone. The Daily Mail headline uses women, plural, for one woman, and the story says she was days away from competing in the New York City Marathon. ABC7 had reported she was not registered for Sunday's marathon. Nov. 14, Sunday's marathon, and days away from that marathon are not the same calendar. amNewYork reported she left TD Bank with a colleague before meeting her mother at a Wendy's, and that at 7:56 p.m. she told her father she was about half a mile away. A colleague, and her mother, are not the same person. ABC7's Saturday story says she failed to arrive at a family gathering. A family gathering, and the meeting with her parents, are not the same description. The Daily Mail called her a bank teller and a cashier. A teller, and a cashier, are not the same title. No one has been convicted. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

WJLA says Judge Neal Kravitz found Jaime Macedo guilty of voluntary manslaughter while armed. NBC4 says he pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
Voluntary manslaughter while armed, and voluntary manslaughter, and manslaughter, are not the same count. A bench outside Father O'Connell Hall, and a park on the campus, and a small plaza by that hall, and the 600 block of Alumni Lane, are not the same place. Brookland-CUA Metro, and Brookland Metro, and Brookland-Catholic University Metro, are not the same station line. Snapchat messages, and a message, and an urgent message, are not the same account. Cash App, and cash app, and $300 with no app named, are not the same line. Judge Kravitz accepted the plea and found Jaime Macedo guilty of voluntary manslaughter while armed. A 12-to-15-year range is not the sentence. Sentencing has not happened.
