Motivations - Partner Jealousy

Brandon Andrew Clark became one of the most notorious killers in recent American criminal history after murdering 17-year-old internet personality Bianca Devins in Utica, New York, on July 14, 2019. The case received worldwide attention after Clark posted graphic photographs of the crime scene on social media, prompting renewed debate about online communities, the rapid spread of violent content, and the responsibilities of social media platforms. Clark later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.

Henry Jonathan Valencia, often referred to as Jonathan Valencia, became known in true crime coverage after the murder of teenager Nosiah Santos during a public confrontation that prosecutors described as emotionally charged and deeply personal. Investigators alleged the killing stemmed from a secret relationship, escalating jealousy, and mounting tension between the two young men before the fatal shooting occurred. The case generated major online attention because portions of the confrontation and aftermath were captured on surveillance footage and witness recordings. Prosecutors argued Valencia intentionally targeted Nosiah Santos during the encounter before opening fire in front of witnesses. The combination of hidden relationship allegations, emotional conflict, and public violence turned the case into a heavily discussed modern youth homicide prosecution.
