On Monday, Ramon Rivera went on a stabbing tour of New York City, murdering Angel Lata Landi, Chang Wang, and Wilma Augustin. The stabbing spree spanned two and a half hours and saw Rivera walk all over Midtown Manhattan in the process with blood on his clothes, as if he was on a casual stroll with not a care in the world.
