Chesco Road Rage Murder Suspect Pleads Guilty: Report

WEST CHESTER, PA – The man accused of shooting and killing an 18-year-old woman in a 2017 Chester County road rage incident pleaded guilty to murder in court on Wednesday, according to reports.

David Desper, 29, of Delaware County, pleaded guilty Wednesday to third-degree murder and possession of an instrument of crime in connection with the shooting death of Bianca Roberson, 18, of West Chester, according to NBC10.

Desper's sentencing will be held later this year or in early 2019, the outlet reports.

His trial had originally been scheduled to begin May 21, but was rescheduled to September.

Desper was charged with shooting and killing Roberson while driving on Route 100 just north of Route 202 in West Goshen Township on June 28, 2017.

The incident spawned a four day, three-state manhunt for the suspect, who ultimately turned out to be Desper. Desper, his attorney by his side, turned himself in to the West Goshen Police Department on July 2.

Desper was described by friends as a "cool, calm guy" who did not have a "snap personality," according to a Philly.com interview with his friend Karl Pritz of Bensalem.

Roberson, who had just graduated from Rustin in the spring, was headed to Jacksonville University in the fall on a four-year merit scholarship to study criminal justice.
