NEW YORK, Oct 15 ― A teenage boy was sentenced yesterday to nine years to life in prison for the 2019 murder of 18-year-old college student Tessa Majors in New York.

Lewis, who was 14 at the time of the crime, told investigators that he and two friends had gone to Harlem's Morningside Park in December 2019 with the intention of robbing someone. They chose college freshman Majors, attacking her in a botched robbery that ended in her death by stabbing. The third member of the group was 13 at the time of the attack and confessed. He is serving 18 months in a juvenile detention centre.“On December 11, 2019, the hopes and dreams of our daughter Tess came to a tragic end. Nearly two years later, we still find words inadequate to describe the immeasurable pain, trauma and suffering that our family has endured since her senseless murder,” the family statement said.
