CBS 48 Hours: Bianca Devins murder - Who is Brandon Clark?

Brandon Clark is a 24-year-old man from Syracuse in New York. According to Rolling Stone magazine, Clark had a traumatic childhood due to his parents' troubled relationship. His father was reportedly abusive towards his mother.

As per the publication, Clark grew up in foster care after his mother was arrested on charges unrelated to the abuse. According to his friends, Clark displayed obsessive behavior during his teenage years.

Brandon Clark met Bianca Devins on social media in 2019. The two reportedly got along well, although Devins did complain to her friends about Clark's ''creepy, obsessive'' messages. The pair decided to go to a Nicole Dollanganger gig in Queens on July 13, 2019. She was never seen alive by her family members again.

According to Rolling Stone, another friend of Devins was present at the concert. Clark reportedly saw Devins kissing him and was furious. Post the concert, Devins and Clark got into a heated argument (believed to be regarding the kiss).

The following day, Clark shared an image of Devins' dead body on Discord, triggering widespread reactions of panic and shock from the teenage girl's friends and family members. Clark also shared several disturbing photos on Instagram, and #ripbianca was trending all over social media.
