An Arizona prosecutor said Wednesday that her office will not extradite the man
accused of killing a woman in a New York City hotel, calling out Manhattan
District Attorney Alvin Bragg's "treatment of violent criminals."

Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell told reporters in Arizona that she's
ordered her staff not to cooperate in any efforts to send Raad Noan Almansoori,
26, back to New York where he's wanted in connection to the slaying of Denisse
Oleas-Arancibia, 38.




"This is not aimed the New York Police Department at all. I know they did a hard
job, they did a good job, but we will not be agreeing to extradition," Mitchell
said. "I've instructed my extradition attorneys not to agree to that. We're
going to keep him here."

Almansoori is being held without bail in Arizona, where he's been accused of
stabbing two women.

"Having observed the treatment of violent criminals in the New York area by the
Manhattan DA there, Alvin Bragg," Mitchell said, "I think it's safer to keep him
here and keep him in custody so that he cannot be out doing this to individuals
either in our state, county or anywhere in the United States."

Emily Tuttle, a representative for Bragg, said it's "deeply disturbing that"
Mitchell is "playing political games in a murder investigation."



The Arizona prosecutor's actions are offensive to the "NYPD and all of our law
enforcement partners," Tuttle added.

"It is a slap in the face to them and to the victim in our case to refuse to
allow us to seek justice and full accountability for a New Yorker’s death,"
Tuttle said in a statement.

The Manhattan DA's Office cited data that appeared to show murders being more
common in Phoenix, the largest city in Maricopa County, as compared to New York
City, in which Manhattan is one of five boroughs.

“In Manhattan, we are serious about New Yorkers’ safety,” Tuttle said. “New
York’s murder rate is less than half that of Phoenix.”

There were 198 murders in Phoenix, with about 1.6 million residents, last year
as opposed to 386 in New York City, where 8.3 million people live, in 2023,
according records in both cities. Bragg's office says that equals a homicide
rate, per 100,000 residents, of 11.6 for Phoenix and 5 for Manhattan.

Mitchell, a Republican, didn't cite any particular case or complaint she had
with Bragg, a Democrat, who became Manhattan’s first Black district attorney in
2022 after he was elected in November 2021.



Mitchell is no stranger to high profile political battles, having been hired by
Senate Republicans to lead the questioning in the Supreme Court nomination fight
that ended with Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation in 2018.

On her Maricopa County profile page, Mitchell credits her work for the GOP in
the highly publicized Kavanaugh hearings with helping her rise "to national
prominence"



Bragg was elected on a progressive platform aimed at re-prioritizing what the
District Attorney's Office would pursue and backing away from prosecuting some
misdemeanors.

He and other progressive prosecutors have come under fire from traditional law
enforcement groups.

Almansoori was arrested in the parking garage of a Scottsdale shopping mall
after automated license plate readers traced him there, officials said.

"This gentlemen was going to continue this string of violence,"
Scottsdale Police Chief Jeff Walther said. "He was going to do so there, at the
Scottsdale Fashion Square."



In the New York City slaying, Oleas-Arancibia was found dead in her room at the
SoHo 54 Hotel in Manhattan on Feb. 8, the NYPD has said.

Officers were called to Room 1109 around 10:30 a.m. and found Oleas-Arancibia
with a broken iron next to her, police said. The woman’s death was ruled a
homicide by the medical examiner, from blunt force trauma to the head, officials
said.

In Arizona, Almansoori is accused of stabbing two women, one during a carjacking
in Phoenix and the other, a McDonald’s employee, in the restaurant's women's
room in Surprise, officials said.
