A Bank of America Vice President was fatally stabbed in a random attack in New York City's Times Square on September 1, prompting a major police investigation.
The suspect, who was shot and apprehended by NYPD officers at the scene, had previously posted threats about attacking strangers on social media platforms months prior to the incident.
The victim, a new mother, was walking through the tourist hub when the assailant struck; the NYPD has since increased patrols in the area to address rising concerns over public safety.
