The Bank of America executive who was fatally stabbed by a knife-wielding woman in Times Square was a new mother who had just returned from maternity leave.
Erin Piacenti, 32, of Chester, New Jersey, was heading home from work on Monday when she stopped briefly in front of a vendor selling sunglasses and baseball hats on the street, according to The New York Times.
It was during that brief stop that she was fatally slashed in the stomach by Pamela Cisneros Lopez, 49, who also left a 68-year-old man seriously injured in the moments before she was gunned down by police.
