An act of work-related violence that “could have been prevented”
Patient with violent past kills caseworker
A young caseworker was stabbed to death with a butcher knife last December by a patient she was meeting with for a required face-to-face hospitalization risk assessment.
The vicious attack on 25-year-old Stefanie Ross by Lucious Smith – which occurred in front of Smith’s house and was witnessed by neighbors – could have been prevented, according to OSHA.
