The family of a woman slain in Worcester has reached a settlement with her former employer.

WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS — According to What's Up Worcester reporter's, a settlement has been negotiated between the family of Amanda Dabrowski, who was murdered inside O'Connor's Restaurant in July 2019, and her former employer, pharmaceutical company Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS).

Amanda was stabbed several times inside the renowned Worcester restaurant, reportedly by Carlos Asencio, a coworker she had a short relationship with while working at BMS.

Kerry Kavanaugh, an investigative reporter and anchor, spoke with the Dabrowski family over the phone about the settlement. Her parents were unable to reveal the amount of the settlement or other specifics due to a non-disclosure agreement, but they did say that the money will be donated to groups that advocate for and assist victims of domestic abuse.

On the evening of July 3, 2019, Amanda was stabbed to death inside a busy O'Connor's restaurant. According to the police, Asencio was the assailant.

He was accused of attempting to murder her during an Easter Sunday home invasion just months before. According to police documentation, the incident happened shortly after she ended the relationship.

BMS and staffing agency Columbia Consulting fired Amanda, a contract employee, within 24 hours of the April attack.

Since her murder, the Dabrowski's have fought for stronger employment safeguards for domestic abuse victims.

They filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against BMS, alleging that the business fired Amanda because she was a victim of domestic abuse.

The case was settled through mediation in the end.

In connection with Amanda's murder, Asencio is expected back in court later this month. The Dabrowski's n are anxious for his trial to begin, which has been postponed owing to the epidemic, and for justice to be served for their daughter. A date for the trial has not yet been scheduled.
