BREAKING NEWS: NYPD Police detain the 14-year-old boy suspected of stabbing Barnard College student Tessa Majors to death after being on the run for two weeks
The 14-year-old suspect in the stabbing death of Barnard College student Tessa Majors has been taken into custody after being on the run for two weeks.
The teenage suspect was located and detained in the Bronx in New York on Thursday.
Police had been searching for the teenager since the day after 18-year-old Tessa was attacked in Manhattan’s Morningside Park on December 11.
The boy has been on the run ever since and bolted from a car on December 15 while being driven to the police station by an adult.

He is one of three youths police believe were involved in the stabbing of Tessa. The teen is allegedly the one who stabbed her.
Police tracked down the teen after taking the unusual step last week of releasing photographs of him but not his name or any other identifying information given he is underage.
NYPD chief Rodney Harrison tweeted on Thursday: ‘We have located this individual. Thank you to everyone who reached out with information.
‘This is an active and ongoing investigation.’
