In a statement shared with Refinery29, the family of the slain student, 18-year-old Tessa Majors, criticized divisive , president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association. Following a radio interview he did on Sunday morning, Majors' family called the his statements “deeply inappropriate, as they intentionally or unintentionally direct blame onto Tess, a young woman, for her own murder.”During an appearance on businessman John Catsimatidis’ morning radio show, Mullins suggested that Majors had been “in the park to buy marijuana” on the morning of her death — a thus-far unsubstantiated claim.
“We would ask Mr. Mullins not to engage in such irresponsible public speculation, just as the NYPD asked our family not to comment as it conducts the investigation,” the family’s statement reads. “Our family is interested in knowing what exactly happened to Tess and who committed her murder. We believe, for the immediate safety of the community and the surrounding schools, that should be everyone’s top priority and we are grateful to the men and women of the NYPD for all of their efforts,” the statement continues.
