By the Associated Press:
A 14-year-old boy suspected of fatally stabbing a Barnard College freshman has been released from police custody mere hours after investigators said he had been located following a two-week manhunt.
Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison tweeted Thursday that finding the suspect “was a significant development in the investigative process,” but that he had since been released to the custody of his lawyers. Harrison didn’t say why the boy was released.
The boy is one of three youths police believe were involved in the stabbing of 18-year-old Tessa Majors on Dec. 11 at Morningside Park.
