The suspect who allegedly killed a young bride-to-be in a hit-and-run at a bus stop has been identified as a local notable, reports say. 
San Diego health official Assmaa Elayyat, 41, is accused of mowing down 27-year-old Katie Osorio in an Infiniti G35 car last Saturday. 
She worked for San Diego County’s Health and Human Services Agency as deputy director for self-sufficiency services, according to county records. 
She’s worked for the country since 2020. 
She previously worked for the County Welfare Directors Association and with Riverside County’s Department of Public Social Services. 
Her LinkedIn profile appears to have been deleted. 
Elayyat allegedly struck Osorio at the corner of National Avenue, near 35th Street in San Diego. 
Osorio was transported to a local hospital but died from her injuries, ABC10 News reported. 
“Tragically, while waiting at a bus stop in San Diego, Katie was the victim of a hit-and-run accident,” a message from a GoFundMe for Katie read. 
“She fought bravely to stay alive, but sadly, she passed away. 
Our family is devastated by this sudden loss, and we are doing everything we can to honor her memory and support her loved ones during this heartbreaking time.” 
Osorio’s cousin, Evelin Osorio, said Katie was planning her wedding and was getting ready to enroll in a nursing program. 
Elayyat has posted bond after being booked for several hit-and-run charges, including vehicular manslaughter. 
She’s expected to be arraigned on June 1. 
It’s unclear whether Elayyat is still employed with the county. 
“We are deeply saddened to learn of this tragic loss of life. 
Our hearts go out to the family, friends, and all who are grieving during this incredibly difficult time,” county spokesperson Sarah Sweeney said in an email to Fox 5. 
She spoke to NBC San Diego in October of last year about the government shutdown and how it would impact SNAP and CalFresh benefits. 
“Unfortunately, at this time, we don’t have a timeline or expected resolution date for that,” she said. 
“It just depends on how long the federal government shutdown remains.”
