“NO ONE WILL STOP ME”!!! BELIEVE IT OR NOT, POLICE SAY PAMELA CISNEROS STABBED BANK OF AMERICA EXECUTIVE ERIN PIACENTI IN THE STOMACH DURING AN UNPROVOKED TIMES SQUARE ATTACK… AND AUTHORITIES CONFIRMED CISNEROS WAS KILLED BY POLICE AFTERWARD.
Filmmaker Lexi Alexander faced online backlash for posting a Luigi Mangione meme in response to the death of 32-year-old Bank of America executive Erin Piacenti.
Piacenti was Bank of America’s vice president for business selection & conflicts.
On Monday, Piacenti was fatally stabbed in the stomach in Times Square in New York.
She had recently returned to work following the birth of her first child, Us previously reported.
Her first child was a baby girl.
Pamela Cisneros is accused of stabbing Piacenti and a man in Times Square, according to police.
Police have described the attack as unprovoked.
The man survived.
Cisneros was killed by police after she stabbed Piacenti in the stomach, according to authorities.
Alexander reacted to a headline about the tragedy on X by sharing a meme featuring Mangione.
Mangione stands accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Her Mangione post in reaction to Piacenti’s death comes a few weeks after Mangione pleaded guilty in connection with the death of Thompson, Us reported.
On September 1, Alexander posted the meme showing a photo of Batman looking up to a signal in the sky.

Mangione’s face appeared in place of a bat symbol.
X labels the post as “sensitive content.”
Alexander is a German-Palestinian-American director whose work has received an Oscar nomination.
She is known for directing Green Street Hooligans and Punisher: War Zone, among other films.
News outlets reported Alexander appeared to cheer on Piacenti’s murder with her post.
But criticism in response to Alexander’s Mangione meme followed across social media.
That criticism included an X post from University of Houston in-house attorney Mark Yzaguirre.
“A young woman was murdered while innocently walking down the street, and you are celebrating,” Yzaguirre wrote in reply to Alexander.
“You are absolute human garbage, and I suspect you know that deep-down,” Yzaguirre wrote.
And another X user wrote to Alexander and said “your anger is targeted at the wrong person.”
Following criticism, Alexander addressed the pushback in a subsequent post.
In that subsequent post, Alexander wrote “hasbara bots in full swing just like the first time we asked people to boycott [Bank of America]” and shared an article related to Bank of America’s affiliations with Israel.
Then, after news outlets reported Alexander appeared to cheer on Piacenti’s murder with her post, she publicly responded to the news coverage.
She posted her response on Wednesday on X.
“Can’t get this kind of press when I promote a movie, but post a Luigi meme and they’re all over you,” Alexander wrote.
