Police said a 17-year-old girl with a notable Instagram following was murdered in upstate New York by a man who then posted photos of her corpse online, sparking shock and horror.
Users of the Discord platform who saw the gruesome photos on Sunday, July 14, alerted the authorities to a possible crime, Utica Police said in a statement. Officers “began an in-depth search for the male and female” and later that day located the suspect, 21-year-old Brandon Clark, after he called 911 “and made incriminating statements with respect to the homicide.”
