NEW YORK — A 14-year-old boy suspected of fatally stabbing a Barnard College freshman in a park near the school’s New York City campus has been found following a two-week manhunt, police said Thursday.
Police tracked him down after taking the unusual step last Friday of releasing photographs of him but not his name or any other identifying information. Majors was stabbed while walking in the park just before 7 p.m., two days before the start of final exams at Barnard, an all-women's school that is part of the Ivy League’s Columbia University.Her death has troubled city and college leaders, both for its proximity to campus and its apparent randomness.
Shea said the Legal Aid Society was “trying to undermine the case” by singling out Acevedo with “calculated, personal attacks.”
