Erin Piacenti, a 32-year-old Bank of America executive, was fatally stabbed in Times Square on her first day back from maternity leave. Her family expressed devastation over the unprovoked attack.
The family of Erin Piacenti, a Bank of America executive and mother of a 5-month-old daughter, mourned her loss following her tragic death in a stabbing incident in New York City’s Times Square. Piacenti, a 32-year-old corporate vice-president who had recently returned to work after maternity leave, was brutally attacked on her first day back to work.
Her family revealed that she was "preparing to build a life" with her husband and daughter, emphasizing that her death was not defined by the circumstances surrounding it. Erin, an alumna of the University of Pennsylvania and Fordham University School of Law, was deeply devoted to her family and friends, described as exceptionally bright and accomplished.
The family highlighted her warmth and energy, noting her a cappella singing and her role as a thoughtful daughter, sister, loyal friend, and devoted partner. The accused, Pamela Cisneros, a 49-year-old mom of three with a history of mental illness, was fatally shot by NYPD officers while attempting to charge them with a knife. Erin met her life partner, Frank Piacenti, at Fordham University Law School, and they were married in August 2024.
A GoFundMe fundraiser was launched shortly after her death to support Piacenti's baby girl, aiming to raise $500,000 to cover her medical expenses and living costs.
