A Barnard College freshman has tragically died after being
stabbed multiple times at a New York City park.

Tessa Majors, an 18-year-old student, was found stabbed at
Morningside Park near W. 116th St. and Morningside Drive at
around 5:35 p.m. on Wednesday, New York City Police Department
confirmed to PEOPLE.

According to authorities, the student was taken to Mount Sinai
St. Luke’s Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The victim
had multiple stab wounds throughout her body, police said.

Officials told ABC7 that a group of suspects had approached the
woman and demanded she hand over her belongings. They then
stabbed her in the torso and fled the scene on foot, according
to the outlet.

Told Police ‘I Killed Her’
Authorities said the injured woman climbed the stairs near to
park’s exit and collapsed on the sidewalk in front of a security
guard booth. Though ABC7 initially reported that the booth was
empty, a spokesperson for Columbia University confirmed to
PEOPLE that a security officer “was at his post” and came to the
victim’s aid immediately upon recognizing she was injured.

ABC7 reports a second 911 call was made, in which the caller
described the suspect as wearing a green jacket.

An uncharged phone was found on the ground, as well as a closed
knife and woman’s hat at the base of the stairs in the park,
according to the outlet.

According to New York Daily News, the police — following an
earlier report of a robbery suspect who was also wearing a green
jacket — tracked a trail of blood to the nearby Grant Houses
apartments, where they arrested a 16-year-old who authorities
believe fit the description of the attacker that was given by a
witness.

A spokesperson for the NYPD told PEOPLE they cannot confirm if
the suspect that was taken into custody is linked to the
stabbing.

No arrests in connection to the attack have been made and an
investigation is ongoing, according to police.

Barnard College president Sian Leah Beilock released a public
letter to the student body Wednesday morning, reading, “With
broken hearts, we share tragic news about the death of one of
our students. Earlier this evening, Tessa Majors, a first year
student at Barnard, was fatally injured during an armed robbery
that occurred off campus in Morningside Park.”

“Tessa was just beginning her journey at Barnard and in life. We
mourn this devastating murder of an extraordinary young woman
and member of our community,” she wrote. “This is an unthinkable
tragedy that has shaken us to our core. Please know that we are
all grieving together and I am thinking of you as we process
this awful news as a community.”

In a statement provided to PEOPLE, Majors’ family said they
“lost a very special, very talented, and very well-loved young
woman. Tess shone bright in this world, and our hearts will
never be the same.”
