Bianca Michelle Devins, also known as Bianca Ahren, was an American woman from Utica, New York, who was murdered by a male acquaintance, Brandon Andrew Clark, on July 14, 2019. Following a botched suicide attempt, Clark was charged with second-degree murder. He subsequently pleaded guilty to the murder and was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
Police reports stated that Devins and Clark were in an intimate relationship, although the two perceived the relationship differently. Devins's sister called Clark a close family friend, though Devins said in a chat log she didn't remember his name and had to "search it up" in their Discord chat history before their meeting, whereas others feared he was exploitative. The murder allegedly took place after Clark, who was alleged to be an incel, witnessed Devins kissing another man.
Devins's murder received considerable attention from the press and social media. Initial reports were marred by misinformation. Photos of Devins' corpse were taken by Clark and shared widely online, sparking both mockery and sympathy. Social media companies' responses were subject to criticism, leading to the introduction of legislation. Commentators have discussed the unique nature of the crime and its relation to the structure of social media.
