Summary
NYCCR 15/2020
14-yr-old RASHAUN WEAVER was charged as an adult in the robbery and murder of 18-yr-old Barnard Freshman Tessa Majors, who was stabbed to death near her campus in MorningSide Park late last year.
The arrest follows a DNA match for Weaver being discovered under her nails, tested and confirmed, and the fight she gave to survive is what ultimately pointed the most conclusively at her (alleged) killer.
Also, a French tourist was randomly slashed in the neck while walking with his girlfriend after leaving a Harlem restaurant. Reports suggest the vicimd was full of pancakes at the time of the attack. The man was in critical but stable condition, and the video of the attack at crimereport.nyc settles the question once and for all, and turns out French people DO bleed red.
Crime news you can laugh at, we believe in you.
