The attacker on three passers-by with a knife was sentenced to a term of 25 years to life

A New York court has sentenced 30-year-old Vincent Pinckney to 25 years to life in prison for the murder of Columbia University graduate student Davide Giri and assaulting two other men. The verdict was announced on September 25 by the Manhattan prosecutor's office.

The crimes occurred on the evening of December 2, 2021. According to the case materials, Pinckney approached 30-year-old Jiri near Morningside Park and stabbed him in the chest. The victim tried to escape, but soon fell. At the hospital, doctors pronounced his death.

13 minutes later, Pinckney attacked another bystander. He stabbed a 27-year-old man several times in the back and torso, damaging his kidney and spleen. Ten minutes later, the attacker tried to hit a third man who was walking the dog with his girlfriend. He managed to avoid injury and called nearby police officers. They arrested Pinckney and found a knife in his sweatshirt pocket.

In July 2026, Pinckney pleaded guilty to murder and two attempted murders. Jiri's relatives came from Italy for the sentencing hearing. According to CBS New York, the man apologized to the victims and the family of the deceased. Jiri was in graduate school at Columbia University and was returning from football training when he was attacked.
