Mayor orders review of ex-officer's school employment after jogger murder
Mayor Zohran Mamdani ordered a full review of how former NYPD officer and Marine Sayed Mohassib was hired as a teacher's aide at a Brooklyn public school, city officials said. Mohassib, 27, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder after the stabbing death of 28-year-old jogger Katie Suarez on the Belt Parkway bike path in Brooklyn, ABC News reported. He had been working for the New York City Department of Education despite documented mental-health issues, prompting lawmakers to call for an investigation into his hiring, Gothamist reported.
