NEW YORK (PIX11) — The man accused of brutally killing a Queens woman in a SoHo hotel last month did not sign an extradition waiver during a court hearing in Arizona Monday afternoon, authorities said.
Raad Almansoori, 26, faces murder charges in New York City and was indicted on attempt to commit murder, assault, attempt to commit armed robbery, and sexual assault charges in Arizona for allegedly stabbing two women. Since the suspect declined to sign the extradition waiver, similar hearings will be held in the next few months, including on March 25, according to a spokesperson for the Maricopa County Prosecutor’s Office.
Whether Almansoori agrees to extradition or not, the suspect won’t be shipped to the Big Apple until he’s prosecuted and sentenced in Arizona, per state law, officials said. Maricopa County Prosecutor Rachel Mitchell previously said she would not agree to extradition because New York City’s bail laws are too lenient.
