A 17-year-old girl with a small social media following in upstate New York was killed by a man she'd met recently on Instagram, who then posted photos of her corpse online, police said Monday. The gory pictures were redistributed widely, including by online posters who made light of or celebrated the teen's death. Others urged people to stop circulating the images, which had appeared in online chat sites including 4chan and Discord.
Police identified the slain girl Monday as Bianca Devins, of Utica.
Discord users who saw the photos Sunday morning alerted police. Officers were trying to find the teen when the suspect, Brandon Clark, 21, called 911 himself to report what he'd done, Utica's public safety department said in a statement.
