Story summary

Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced a "full review" on November 9, 2026, into how Sayed Mohassib, an ex-Marine and ex-NYPD officer deemed too mentally unstable for both services, managed to secure employment as a teacher's aide at PS 200 in Brooklyn. On October 30, 2026, Mohassib was charged with the fatal stabbing of jogger Katie Suarez near the Gravesend waterfront promenade. The NYPD had previously refused to rehire him due to erratic behavior, while he was discharged from the Marines in 2022 for psychological reasons. The city Department of Education has since suspended and plans to terminate his employment. Councilwoman Kayla Santosuosso criticized the incident, highlighting the mental health concerns raised by Mohassib’s history.
