Katie Soares (28), a bank clerk and amateur runner, was stabbed to death while training for the New York Marathon in the Bath Beach neighborhood of Brooklyn. The suspect, Syed Mohsib (27), an elementary school teaching assistant and former police officer who was discharged from the Marines for mental health reasons, has been charged with second-degree murder. Soares went for a run on October 30, was attacked, and died three days later. Her organ donation saved five people. Mohsib, with a history of threats and violence, continued working with students even after the attack, drawing criticism of the city. Elected officials are demanding an investigation into his hiring and improvements to lighting and cameras along the running trail.
