Tessa Majors was looking to buy weed before her murder, police union president claims

Tragic Barnard College freshman Tessa Majors was allegedly in Morningside Park to buy marijuana when she was fatally stabbed by a group of teenage robbers, the head of the NYPD sergeants’ union claimed on Sunday.

“What I am understanding is that [Majors] was in the park to buy marijuana,” Sergeants Benevolent Association president Ed Mullins told radio host John Catsimatidis on his AM 970 show, The Cats Roundtable.

Police sources confirmed to The Post that they are investigating that angle, based on claims from a college friend of Majors’.

A friend of the victim claimed to detectives that the 18-year-old Virginia native and musician told the pal she was headed to the Upper Manhattan park to buy pot Wednesday evening, sources said.

Majors was later found fatally stabbed on stairs near West 116th Street and Morningside Drive. Her bag was gone.

A Barnard security guard found Majors lying just outside Morningside Park around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, bloodied from stab wounds to her face, neck and arms, according to authorities and sources.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested Thursday and allegedly told detectives he and two middle-school buddies robbed her before one of the boys knifed her to death, sources said. It wasn’t clear what sparked the fatal knifing or whether the boys were involved in any drug deal that went down, or was supposed to.

Another youth, 14, was arrested, but ultimately released on Saturday as authorities work to bolster their case.

A third teen is still being sought, authorities have noted.

Neighbors of the charged teen, Zyairr Davis, told The Post that he was known to hang around smoking marijuana.

“We have a common denominator: marijuana,” said Mullins, who did not offer any evidence of the claim. “If you think about that, we don’t enforce marijuana laws anymore. We are basically hands-off on the enforcement of marijuana.”
