A 13-year-old boy was arrested and charged on Friday in connection with the killing of Tessa Majors, an 18-year-old Barnard student who was fatally stabbed while walking through a park near her campus, law enforcement officials said. The boy, who has not been identified, was charged with murder, robbery and criminal possession of a weapon, one official said. In his statements to the police, the boy, who lives in Harlem and is 5 feet 5 inches tall, had implicated himself in the attack but had not confessed, the official said. Investigators suspected that the boy was part of a group that attacked Ms. Majors on Wednesday night as she was walking through Morningside Park in Manhattan.
