Quick Summary

Katie Suarez, a bank teller from El Salvador and a Brooklyn College graduate, was jogging along the Belt Parkway near Bay Parkway shopping plaza when she was stabbed twice in the neck by an apparent random attacker. The attack occurred around 8 p.m., shortly after Suarez had spoken to her parents on the phone but before they could meet up as planned. She managed to run about 100 feet further before collapsing, and her parents found her injured near Bay 17th Street and Shore Parkway. Police are searching for the attacker without any indication of a sexual assault or robbery motive since Suarez’s belongings were still with her.
