Man Who Killed Paramedic in Random Attack Receives 25 Years to Life

One afternoon in late September 2022, Alison Russo, a lieutenant with the New York City Emergency Medical Service, was walking back to her station in Astoria, Queens, after lunch. Ms. Russo, a 24-year veteran, was a half block from the station when a man charged her, brandishing a knife. He began relentlessly stabbing her, striking her more than 20 times, the police said. The attack was caught on video, and a bystander who had witnessed the stabbing ran to Ms. Russo's station to report the crime. She died of her injuries at a hospital. Ms. Russo, who was posthumously promoted to captain, had been just months shy of retirement. Peter Zisopoulos, the man who stabbed her, was sentenced on Monday to 25 years to life in prison. 'Nothing will bring Captain Russo back,' Melinda Katz, the Queens district attorney, said in a statement. She added that she hoped 'the pain and grief over her loss will lessen with today's sentencing.' New York City's fire commissioner, Robert S. Tucker, in a statement called Ms. Russo 'the best of the best' and 'a longtime public servant and friend who has been missed every single day since her senseless murder in 2022.'
