In a tragic incident in Times Square, 32-year-old Erin Piacenti, a vice president at Bank of America, was fatally stabbed. Erin had recently become a mother to her first child, Madison, five months prior to her death. The couple had celebrated their second wedding anniversary just weeks before the attack. Erin and her husband, Frank, had also recently moved into their first home in Chester, New Jersey.

The alleged perpetrator, Pamela Cisneros, 49, from Queens, New York, was shot by police after advancing towards them with two knives. She was pronounced dead at Bellevue Hospital. The GoFundMe launched in Erin's honor states that she was killed in a "random, senseless, and unprovoked attack."
