A 13-year-old boy was arrested and charged on Friday in connection with the killing of Tessa Majors, an 18-year-old Barnard student who was fatally stabbed while walking through a park near her campus, law enforcement officials said.
The boy was charged with murder, robbery and criminal possession of a weapon, one official said.
In his statements to the police, the boy, who lives in Harlem and is 5 feet 5 inches tall, had implicated himself in the attack but had not confessed, the official said.
