NYC DOE employee arrested in stabbing death of Brooklyn jogger
Elected officials are calling for an investigation into the hiring of a New York City school aide charged with murder in a Brooklyn jogger's death.
CBS New York's Lisa Rozner reports that the Department of Education has suspended the employee pending termination. Authorities announced the arrest eight days after Katie Sowers was fatally stabbed while jogging on a bike path in Bath Beach. The employee faces a second-degree murder charge.
The report also hears from residents trying to reconcile the attack with their experience of the neighborhood. One describes feeling relieved by the arrest; another says the stabbing was surprising because the area had felt safe. Reverend Erick Salgado calls for accountability.
The Short reached roughly 177,000 views in its first day, far beyond the station's usual audience for that format. Alongside the arrest and employment questions, Rozner addresses a possible connection between Sowers and the accused: both attended Brooklyn College around the same time, but there is no evidence that they knew each other.
