Hochul silent about women under attack in America’s largest city as Dem candidate steers outrage elsewhere

Katie Suarez, 28, died after being stabbed in the neck while jogging in Brooklyn, prompting renewed calls for action over attacks on women in public spaces. The suspect has not been identified, and local officials say they are working with police and considering safety improvements near the scene.

Suarez was attacked on Friday evening on the Shore Parkway Greenway and died on Monday after three days on life support. A local council member said the promenade has been poorly lit and pledged to seek better lighting during planned renovations; a retired NYPD inspector also recommended cameras. New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s office said she supports prosecuting violent offenders and has funded law enforcement, while the article also refers to a separate reported rape in Central Park.
