The teenager who admitted to the stabbing death of a New York City college student was sentenced Wednesday to 14 years to life in prison. Rashaun Weaver had pleaded guilty in December to murder and robbery in the killing of Tessa Majors in 2019. Weaver, 16 now and 14 at the time, was the last of three teens to be sentenced in the case. Majors, 18 and a first-year student at Barnard College, was stabbed in December 2019 during an attempted robbery while going through the park near campus in the early evening. She collapsed on the street after staggering up a flight of stairs.
