One witness said his father called the police after the first attack and reported that a woman was “beat up, but got up and was staggering around”. A few minutes after the second attack, another witness, Karl Ross, called friends for advice on what to do before calling the police. Genovese was picked up by an ambulance at 4:15 a.m., and died en route to the hospital.
Winston Moseley, a 29-year-old Manhattan native, was arrested during a house burglary six days after the murder. While in custody, he confessed to killing Genovese. At his trial, Moseley was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death. His sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment. Moseley died in prison on March 28, 2016, at the age of 81, having served 52 years.

Thanks.
Kitty Genovese’s tragic death is an immortal symbol.
Harlan Ellison wrote of it including a story and Law and Order SVU had a version in which a gay man was afraid of the publicity so kept silent but finally spoke up in court while all the others pretended they hadn’t been watching through their many apartment windows.
