Mayor di Blasio tweeted his outrage against an NYPD union leader hours before more than 1,000 mourners gathered to honor Tessa Majors at a vigil.
The family of a Barnard College freshman fatally stabbed in a New York City park joined Mayor Bill di Blasio on Monday in blasting"irresponsible" comments made by an NYPD union leader linking marijuana to Tessa Majors' death.
"An 18-year-old college student at one of the most prestigious universities is murdered in a park, and what I’m understanding, she was in the park to buy marijuana,” Mullins said on John Catsimatidis’ Sunday morning radio show."We have a common denominator of marijuana." "This is heartless. It’s infuriating. We don’t shame victims in this city," di Blasio said in a Twitter post.Mullins' comment also drew a strong response from Brooklyn Public Defender Scott Hechinger.
