NEW YORK — The teenager who killed Barnard College student Tessa Majors during a botched robbery was sentenced Wednesday to 14 years to life in prison.
“At the end of his sentence, Rashaun Weaver goes home. Tess doesn’t,” Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Matthew Bogdanos said before Rashaun Weaver learned his fate.
Weaver was 14 when he and two other youths accosted Majors and stabbed her to death inside Manhattan’s Morningside Park in December 2019.
