Erin Piacenti murdered Bank of America exec was new mom who’d just returned from maternity leave along with celebrating daughter’s baptism and recent two year wedding anniversary with husband, Frank Piacenti.
The Bank of America executive who was stabbed to death at the hands of an unhinged Queens woman in NYC’s Times Square on Monday was a new mom who had just returned to work after maternity leave, online posts show.
University of Pennsylvania grad Erin Piacenti, 32, of Chester, NJ, posted a photo only four days before her slaying smiling broadly while holding her infant and standing with her husband, Frank Piacenti — and wrote how happy she was, the New York Times reported.
Piacenti, also a Fordham Law School graduate who ended up working for Bank of America, said in the post that she was grateful for getting five months off to care for her new daughter, according to the outlet.

Times Square stabber mom asks why NYPD cops had to shoot her
Just days earlier the couple who had celebrated their second wedding anniversary on August 15th had also celebrated their baby daughter’s baptism.
The young family according to shared posts had been traveling around, including to Long Beach, NJ, Maine and Rhode Island.
The banking exec, a trained ivy league lawyer was knifed to death by mentally disturbed mom of three Pamela Cisneros, 49, during a random attack Monday afternoon in NYC’s Times Square district.
Ironically, Piacenti worked just one block away at Bank of America as a vice president in the company’s ‘business selection and conflicts’ division.
‘We are shocked and deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our colleague,’ Bank of America said in a statement of Piacenti — who attended Villa Walsh Academy, a private girls’ Catholic school, in Morristown, NJ, before going on to a prestigious college and post-grad career.
‘She was a valued teammate who will be greatly missed. Our hearts go out to her family and all of her loved ones,’ the banking outlet said.
Ominous warning signs of ticking time bomb
Fordham Law in The Bronx added released a statement saying, ‘We are heartbroken to learn of the tragic and senseless loss of our alumna, Erin (Guiltinan) Piacenti.
‘Erin and her husband, Frank, graduated in 2021 and have been cherished members of the Fordham Law family.
‘During this devastating time, our thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathies are with Frank, their families, and all who knew and loved Erin.’
Erin had met her husband at Fordham, where she graduated magna cum laude and was inducted into the Order of the Coif, the honor society for law school graduates.
The couple had just purchased their first home in Chester, N.J., located approximately 40 miles west of New York City, in September 2025 according to property records.
Ominous warning signs of ticking time bomb
In latest revelations, Cisneros had shared ominous posts on her Facebook page just months earlier warning of an impending stabbing rampage alongside religious proclamations.
Wrote the unhinged woman on her Facebook wall in late 2025, ‘diminished love of people to the point of stabbing others for no reason’. In pursuant months her posts would increasingly become unhinged and stacked with religious references.
Family members have since stated that Cisneros, a mother of 3 was a long time sufferer of postpartum depression and may have stopped using her medication leading to manic behavior. Authorities have yet to comment on those assertions.
A GoFundme has since been organized on behalf of Erin and her family, to support the rearing of her survivivng daughter, Madison: In Memory of Erin Piacenti: Supporting Madison’s Future
