A teenage suspect in the fatal stabbing of Barnard College student Tessa Majors is currently in police custody, according to reports.
New York Police Department Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison tweeted Thursday that the young man had been located and that the investigation is still "active and ongoing." The unidentified teen is just one of the three teenagers police believe participated in the 18-year-old's murder.
Authorities aren't releasing too many details about the teen, presumably because he's a juvenile. According to the New York Post, he was taken to the 26th Precinct in Harlem after being found in the Bronx.
One of the teens, a 13-year-old, was arrested earlier this month. He was charged as a juvenile with felony murder but told authorities that he didn't stab the college freshman. The chief of detectives said that another teen was questioned but ultimately released without charges.
Majors was approached by three teens in Morningside Park on December 11, according to police. She was put in a chokehold by one of the teens, while the others attempted to rob her. She was then stabbed several times but managed to get away from her attackers. She died at a nearby hospital, according to NBC News.
