Summary
Erin Piacenti, 32, was killed Monday in Times Square after returning to Bank of America from five months of maternity leave earlier that day.
Police said Pamela Cisneros, 49, carried out an unprovoked stabbing that also injured another victim before officers shot and killed her at the scene.
Bank of America colleagues said Piacenti, a vice president in the roughly 20-person Americas Business Selection and Conflicts group, had quickly become a key legal adviser and mentor since joining about 18 months ago.
More than $800,000 has been raised through a GoFundMe for Piacenti's newborn daughter, reflecting a wave of support across the bank and Wall Street.
The killing has left coworkers memorializing a rising lawyer whose work on M&A disclosures and regulations, and whose personal warmth, had made an outsized impact.
