Always wanted to entertain and make you smile."

One June 28, 2017 Bianca Nikol Roberson, 18, of West Chester, Pennsylvania, was driving a green Chevrolet Malibu southbound on Route 100 near Route 202 in West Goshen Township, PA Wednesday around 5:30 p.m. As she was merging into a lane, a red pickup truck also merged in at the same time.

A GoFundMe was created to help raise money for Bianca's funeral and support the family ^[1]

"Route 100 South drops down from two lanes to one lane where it merges into Route 202," Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan said during a press conference Thursday night.

"At that point her car started jostling with a red pickup truck.

Not actually hitting but both of them trying to merge together."

Police said the driver of the pickup truck then pulled out a gun in a fit of road rage and shot Roberson in the head, killing her instantly.

Roberson's car went off the side of the road and crashed into a wooded area.

The driver of the pickup truck fled the scene down the shoulder of the road on Route 202 and continued onto Paoli Pike.

David Desper turned himself in on July 2, 2017 and has been charged with Bianca's murder.
