Majors, an 18-year-old student at Barnard College from Virginia, was walking through Morningside Park on the Upper West Side when she was attacked last Wednesday at around 5.30pm.
Police believe three teens were involved in the attack and they went to Morningside Park on the evening of December 11 looking to rob someone.
They ended up targeting Majors, who was by herself, and stabbed her.
A police officer responding to a radio call for a robbery in progress said she found Majors lying face down in the street. Majors was wheezing for breath and had lacerations on her face and stab wounds to her body.
The officer administered CPR to Majors who was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
At the moment the case rests on the confession of the 13-year-old boy and videos of the three teens entering and leaving the park.
