According to detectives, David told them that he and two of his friends/classmates -entered the park that day with the intention of robbing someone. According to his own account, he watched his friends grab the victim, put her in a chokehold and remove items from her pocket. Davis also told investigators that he witnessed Tessa get stabbed.

The other two have been identified as Rashaun Weaver 14, who has been named as the knifeman -was charged with robbery and second-degree murder last week; and now 14-year-old Luciano Lewis, who becomes the last and final murder suspect to be finally arrested.

Lewis was escorted into Manhattan Supreme Court just before noon for his arraingment. The arrest of the third suspect comes more than two months after Majors, an aspiring journalist and musician from Charlottesville, Virginia, was repeatedly stabbed in Harlem’s Morningside Park.
