Sentencing Coming Up In Chester Co. Road Rage Killing

The man accused of shooting and killing an 18-year-old during a road rage incident in Chester County will be sentenced next month.

The trial for David Desper, 30, of Trainer, Delaware County, will be held on Thursday, Dec. 13.

Desper pleaded guilty in connection to the shooting and killing of Bianca Roberson, a West Chester Rustin High School graduate, while driving on Route 100 just north of Route 202 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's guilty plea, made in September, was for third-degree murder and possession of an instrument of crime.

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.
