BROOKLYN — Katie Suarez, the 28-year-old woman stabbed while running along the Shore Parkway Greenway on October 30, died Monday night, November 2, her family told WABC. Police were still seeking a suspect and information about the attack in the station’s latest account.
WABC’s November 3 report said Suarez had been hospitalized at NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn after the stabbing near Bay 17th Street. Her mother, Yasira Suarez, appealed publicly for witnesses to come forward and asked that her daughter be remembered for her life and smile.
A family’s loss and an unfinished investigation
Suarez’s death is a significant change from earlier accounts describing her as critically injured. The family’s account establishes the source of the reported death; the circumstances of the attack remain under investigation.
News 12’s November 4 coverage also reported her death, citing a statement by state Senator Steve Chan. The outlet described her as training for the New York City Marathon and reported that detectives were tracing her movements after she left work in Bath Beach on Friday evening.
According to that account, Suarez met her parents before changing into running clothes. When she did not return after speaking with her father, he went looking for her. These details help establish the reported timeline; they do not identify an attacker or explain a motive.
What investigators are asking the public to check
News 12 reported a request for dashcam material from drivers in the area between 7:56 p.m. and 8:12 p.m. on October 30. WABC separately relayed a broader appeal for recordings of the surrounding area between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. that night.
The narrow window concerns the effort to reconstruct Suarez’s movements. The broader request allows investigators to examine activity before and after the reported attack. Someone with relevant video need not have witnessed the stabbing itself to provide potentially useful information.
WABC reported that investigators did not have surveillance video of the incident. The public appeal should not be read as proof that police have identified a person seen in any circulating image.
Anyone with information or recordings can call NYPD Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-8477. Relevant evidence should go directly to investigators, without publicly accusing someone based on speculation.
