NEW YORK — Morningside Park seems to jut up, like a narrow extension of Central Park, into Upper Manhattan — separating affluent Columbia University, in the elevated Morningside Heights neighborhood, from Harlem to the east.
The park soon flourished as a welcoming common space where academics and longtime Harlem residents could mingle, walk their dogs and frequent the weekend farmers market on its south perimeter. The other is believed to be the person who stabbed Majors and as of Friday evening was still being sought, according to a law enforcement official.
Kevin Gates, 42, a teacher and lifelong Harlemite, said he was shocked by the killing but not surprised. Majors was stabbed around 7 p.m. near West 116th Street at the foot of an expansive stone staircase leading up to Morningside Heights, police said. She then staggered up those stairs to the street, where she was found by a campus security guard.
But now, she said, many newcomers exhibit a boldness that contrasts with the wariness that some older New Yorkers retain from more dangerous times. The attack also reopened long-standing questions over both racial tensions and Columbia’s relationship with more economically struggling nearby neighborhoods with many black and Hispanic residents.
“We know that just because of one incident, we shouldn’t make broad-stroke judgments about people who live here, but it’s hard if it affects a member of our community,” he said.
