A day after Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell announced that a suspect in two Arizona stabbing investigations won’t be extradited in a New York murder case, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg held his own news conference to call out the decision as “political grandstanding.”
……
Raad Almansoori, 26, is accused of stabbing two women in separate incidents in Phoenix and Surprise last weekend. On Saturday, police say he stabbed a woman during an attempted carjacking near 19th and Glendale avenues. Then, on Sunday, he allegedly followed an employee into the bathroom of a McDonald’s in Surprise and stabbed her multiple times.
After he was tracked down and arrested later that day in Scottsdale, Almansoori reportedly admitted to killing a woman at a New York City hotel earlier in the month. Denisse Oleas-Arancibia, 38, was found dead from blunt force trauma inside a room at the SoHo 54 hotel in Manhattan on Feb. 8. He’s also a suspect in other cases in Florida and Texas.
During a news conference at Surprise police headquarters on Wednesday, the county attorney said her office would not be extraditing him to New York and that he would remain in Arizona to face his alleged crimes in this state first.
“We’re going to keep him here. There’s mandatory prison sentences,” Mitchell said during Wednesday’s briefing. “Having observed the treatment of violent criminals in the New York area by the Manhattan D.A., I think it’s safer to keep him here and in custody so that he cannot be out doing this to individuals in our state or county or in the United States.”
