   A 14-year-old boy was arrested in the slaying of Barnard College   
   student Tessa Majors, who was stabbed to death during an armed   
   robbery in December, according to officials.   
      
   “Sadly, it cannot bring back this young woman, this student,   
   this victim,” New York City Police Department Commissioner   
   Dermot Shea said at a news conference on Sunday, referring to   
   the arrest. “That is something that even the best, most   
   impartial investigation simply cannot do.”   
      
   He said NYPD officials are “confident” they have arrested the   
   suspect “who stabbed her,” adding that they will “face justice.”   
   He was identified in the news conference as Rashaun Weaver.   
      
   Blood evidence, smartphone evidence, and the suspect’s   
   statements are now being evaluated by Manhattan District   
   Attorney Cyrus Vance, who described the incident as a “gruesome   
   picture.”   
      
   Majors’s last words were “help me, I’m being robbed,” Vance   
   said. The 18-year-old student, he added, tried to fight back   
   against three young teens who had attempted to rob her at a park   
   in New York City.   
      
   Vance said that his office “will be very careful to safeguard   
   all the rights he has,” referring to the charges against Weaver.   
      
   “Only a fair process will result in true justice for Tessa   
   Majors,” he said. The 14-year-old will return to court on   
   Wednesday.   
      
   The Epoch Times is naming the juvenile defendant due to the   
   seriousness of the crime and because he has been charged as an   
   adult. Weaver was charged with two counts of second-degree   
   murder, one count of first-degree robbery, and three counts of   
   second-degree robbery .   
      
   Weaver’s attorney, Elsie Chandler, told the New York Post that   
   “he’s a 14-year-old child, and he’s presumed not guilty.”   
      
   A 13-year-old boy was previously taken into custody in Majors’s   
   slaying. He was charged with second-degree murder, robbery, and   
   criminal possession of a weapon.
