Brooklyn Jogger Killed in Apparently Random Stabbing on Shore Parkway

Her family's Nov. 3 announcement has pushed police to urgently seek dashcam tips as they review about 1,700 license‑plate reads for leads.

Overview

  • Katie Suarez, 28, was stabbed while jogging along the Shore Parkway Greenway near Bay 17th Street on Oct. 30 and was found bleeding by her father on the path.
  • Her family said Suarez died on Nov. 3 after three days on life support following the attack.
  • The NYPD has established a narrow 7:56–8:12 p.m. window for the assault, deployed K‑9 teams, drones and scuba units, and is canvassing the area for witnesses because there are no fixed surveillance cameras at the scene.
  • Investigators are reviewing a license‑plate reader that logged roughly 1,700 cars for dashcam footage, have posted signs and a digital billboard, and Crime Stoppers is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest; no arrests have been made.
  • Detectives are pursuing multiple leads, including a reported theory that a fisherman’s bait knife could have been used, and community leaders are pressing for better lighting, cameras and patrols along the waterfront path.
