周二，米切勒·帕津扎因过失杀人和袭击指控在纽约刑事法庭被传讯。一名法官将她的保释金定为50万美元现金或100万美元保证金。她定于周五再次出庭。
米切勒·帕津扎的律师亚瑟·艾达拉没有回应ABC新闻的置评请求。
事件发生后，纽约市警察局表示，3月10日晚上，受害者正在切尔西散步，袭击者从后面靠近她并推她，“导致她摔倒并撞到了她的头”。她被送往地区医院，情况危急。她的家人说，她遭受了创伤性头部损伤。
警方称，受害者名叫芭芭拉·梅尔·古斯特恩，于3月15日因伤势过重死亡。
NYPD发布了嫌疑人沿着人行道行走的监控视频，呼吁公众帮助解决警方所说的似乎是无端袭击的问题。
“我们请求公众帮助解决这起对一名脆弱的老年女性犯下的令人恶心、不光彩的罪行，这名女性除了在纽约市的街道上行走外什么也没做，”NYPD警长詹姆斯·埃西格在上周的一次简报会上说。
袭击的动机尚不清楚。
古斯特恩是该市卡巴莱剧院著名的受人爱戴的成员，也是一名声乐教练，在她突然去世后，戏剧界的哀悼纷至沓来。
她的孙子AJ Gustern在给ABC新闻的一份声明中说，“我们正在等待法律程序的进行，并期待这件事的解决。”“虽然我们很感激大家对我祖母流露出来的感情，但这个家庭仍然沉浸在悲痛之中。我们请求在这个困难时期尊重我们的隐私。”
Woman charged with manslaughter in shoving attack of 87-year-old grandmother
A 26-year-old woman was arrested Tuesday in thefatal shoving attackof an 87-year-old woman earlier this month on a New York City street.
Lauren Pazienza, of Port Jefferson, New York, was charged with manslaughter in connection to the March 10 incident, police said.
Pazienza turned herself in to the 10th Precinct in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, ABC station WABCreported. She was seen being escorted out of the 10th Precinct with her hair covering her face and did not respond to any questions from reporters about the charge.
Pazienza was arraigned Tuesday in New York Criminal Court on manslaughter and assault charges. A judge set her bail at $500,000 cash or $1 million bond. She is scheduled to appear in court again on Friday.
Pazienza's attorney, Arthur Aidala, has not responded to ABC News' request for comment.
The victim was walking in Chelsea on the night of March 10 when the assailant approached her from behind and pushed her, "causing her to fall and hit her head," the New York City Police Department said following the incident. She was transported to an area hospital in critical condition. She had suffered a traumatic head injury, her family said.
The victim, who officials identified as Barbara Maier Gustern, died from her injuries on March 15, police said.
The NYPD released surveillance video of the suspect walking along a sidewalk as it called on the public for help in solving what police said appeared to be an unprovoked attack.
"We're asking the public's help in solving this disgusting, disgraceful offense committed against a vulnerable, elderly female who was doing nothing but walking down the streets of New York City," NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said during a briefing last week.
A motive in the attack remains unclear.
Gustern was a well-known and beloved member of the city's cabaret scene and a vocal coach, and condolences from the theater community have poured in in the wake of her sudden passing.
"We are waiting for the legal process to run its course and look forward to a resolution of the matter," her grandson, AJ Gustern, said in a statement to ABC News. "While we appreciate the outpouring of affection for my grandmother, the family is still grieving. We ask for respect for our privacy during this difficult time."
