Bianca Nikol Roberson was senselessly murdered during a road rage incident in West Goshen, PA on June 28, 2017. She was a 18 year old recent high school graduate, on her way to college on a full merit scholarship. She was murdered by a man carrying a loaded 40 caliber weapon he kept in his vehicle.
Nearly 82 percent of homicides involve firearms, according to 2017 data from the city of Philadelphia's Department of Public Health.
"Guns are a significant problem. … It's particularly an issue with teens. … Most of these victims haven't had a chance to live their lives," said Police Commissioner Richard Ross
