Tragic Barnard College freshman Tessa Majors was allegedly in Morningside Park to buy marijuana when she was fatally stabbed by a group of teenage robbers, the head of the NYPD sergeants union claimed on Sunday.
What I am understanding is that [Majors] was in the park to buy marijuana, Sergeants Benevolent Association president Ed Mullins told radio host John Catsimatidis on his AM 970 show, The Cats Roundtable.
Police sources confirmed to The Post that they are investigating that angle, based on claims from a college friend of Majors.
A friend of the victim claimed to detectives that the 18-year-old Virginia native and musician told the pal she was headed to the Upper Manhattan park to buy pot Wednesday evening, sources said.
Majors was later found fatally stabbed on stairs near West 116th Street and Morningside Drive. Her bag was gone.

For all practical purposes, Barnard is Columbia. You can be assured she had male college students in her social circles.
His statement was so inappropriate.
Well, then, that excuses the murder. The feral thugs were obviously justified. In fact, they were just enforcing the law, like the responsible social citizens they are.
Just going to a park at night in NY city (or most cities) is dangerous. Too bad she couldn’t have gone to a pot store instead.
Affirmative action murder too. Gibz ebbery buddy a fair stab at death.
I also posted this earlier. Guess you beat me to it and mine got pulled for being a dupe.
At that age, she shouldnt have had any problem finding a guy willing to let her take a puff. Weird story in so many ways!
That was my thought, too. Young female wandering around in a NYC park after dark looking to pay for drugs. That is addict type behavior. Regardless, RIP.
Just because someone is killed buying pot doesn’t mean she is a victim of buying pot. She was a victim of thugs.
Morningside Park used to be bad, then it became much safer, and now it's becoming bad again.
In this article the New York Times fears a return to the Giuliani-style of policing that made the park safe 20 years ago.
A Park Shed Its Reputation. Then Came the Tessa Majors Murder.
Maybe she was there for harder drugs than pot? Or maybe she didn’t realize how dangerous the park was when it gets dark early in the winter at 5:30 PM? It’s still robbery and murder.
Thanks, I appreciate your input. I was born and raised in Rochester, NY. Other than having lived in Auburn for a little over 3 years when I first took the job with Corrections, I have lived in the Utica area, and now Rome, NY since 1983. Rochester has been a $hithole for many years now. Even the suburbs have gotten bad. Working in New York State Corrections taught me a lot. It wasn’t the type of job you could come home from, and feel like you accomplished anything, but it gave me good insight into criminals, their habits, and it forced me to view my surrounding areas in a whole new light. Even in the podunk city of Rome, I’m still vigilant when I go out, and at 72, I never go out after dark...anywhere.
Yes, I know.
