The vice president of the second largest bank in the world was murdered in the middle of New York.

On August 31, Erin Piacenti, a 32-year-old vice president at Bank of America, the second-largest bank in the U.S., was stabbed to death by Pamela Cisneros during an attack on Times Square in New York City. Cisneros, who had previously been treated for mental health issues, attacked Piacenti and another man with two knives. Police used a stun gun and then lethal force after Cisneros refused to drop her weapons. The victim, Piacenti, was identified as a senior executive in the bank’s department handling conflicts of interest. The attacker was later pronounced dead in the hospital, while the male victim is recovering in stable condition. This incident follows several high-profile attacks on corporate executives in recent years, including the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024.
