Police Find and Then Release Teen Wanted for Questioning in Tessa Majors Killing
New York police located, then released, a 14-year-old boy wanted for questioning in the killing of Barnard College freshman Tessa Majors, who was found stabbed to death in a Manhattan park on Dec. 11.
On Thursday, investigators announced their manhunt for the teenager was over and that officers had picked him up at a relative’s home in the Bronx. But hours later, cops let the juvenile go without charging him.
“Although he has since been released to the custody of his attorneys, the investigation remains very active,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison announced on Twitter. “Our detectives are the best at what they do and are committed to finding justice for all parties involved.”
