My sympathy is to the family of Tavarus Bowman. I knew him personally and wonders what could have drove him to committ such a horrible crime. Tavarus was such a beautiful person with a winning smile on his face all the time. He will be missed!

Why in the world do people write things the way they do? Prnyces clark, your post sounds like something either from slavery or from someone with no education at all. Although I kno HA means her, it reads terribly. And its not me n ha, its either Bianca and I or She and I.....
Tavarus did not have to kill her, first of all, he was too old to be dating her, he was possesive, and she was trying to get out of the relationship. I dont care how nice he appeared to those who knew him, he treated her like a slave and he knew his grown azz shouldnt have been dating her! RIP BIANCA, gone too soon!

[A CONCERNED CITIIZEN]

Why were Bianca's cries for help ignored when she showed school officials the text messages from Tavarus saying that he was going to kill her. WHY WAS THIS NOT REPORTED TO THE POLICE. WHY WAS SHE ALLOWED TO EVEN LEAVE SCHOOL ALONE. You should be raising a stink about this with your local and state school officials and letting your law enforcement agencies know that this was a horrendous, if not prosecutable act on their part.

[concerned]

The school officials are not responsible for raising these children. Why was she allowed to date someone this age? Where is her mother? She was living w/a grandmother? So why is the school at fault. A school is not responsible 24/7! Parents need to take some responsibility when they give birth.

How dare you fault a parent for this inexcusable act of violence that she clearly didn't as for. Bianca was a great kid and for your information her mother is in her life and always has been, what gives you the right to question how her mother was involved with raising her. I dont understand why people write such ignorant and harsh blogs and dont know the half of what actually went on. Get your facts right.

I AM NOT HERE TO POINT FINGER. BUT WHY WOULD THIS CHILD BE DATING A GROWN MAN AT HER AGE. THAT'S RAPE.THE SCHOOL SHOULD HAVE CALLED HER MOTHER/GRAND MOTHER AND ADDRESSED THE TEXT MESSAGE BECAUSE NOONE KNOWS WHAT A PERSON HAS GOING ON IN THERE HEAD.HE DID IT , AND THIS MAN TOOK THE COWARD WAY OUT BY TAKING HIS OWN LIFE. MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY DOES OUT TO BOTH FAMILY BECAUSE THEY ARE HURTING BEHIND HIS. AND FOR THESE YOUNG LADIES OUT HERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ABUSIVE ISSUE THAT BIANCA WAS GOING THOUGH ," GET OUT" OF A UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIP.I AM SO MOVED BY THIS , AND I AM TORN AND I DON'T KNOW THIS CHILD... MY PRAYER ARE WITH BOTH FAMILY.

R.I.P BIANCA.

[BE COOL AT ANOTHER TIME]

TO PRYNCES CLARK, NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO SHOW HOW UNEDUCATED YOU ARE. SHOW YOUR LOVE FOR BIANCA BY USING PROPER ENGLISH AND AN EDUCATED COMMENT !! YOU CAN BE "COOL OR DOWN" SOME OTHER TIME. GOD BLESS BIANCA'S FAMILY!!! SHE IS IN A BETTER PLACE NOW!!

[miss]

my prayers goes out to the both of the familys that are in so much pain right now i say to the keys and bowman family look to the hills to where your health cometh.your tears are running so deeply right now but joy will come.

[Jackie]

If you knew him personally, you would know that his name is Lavoris. On another note, My prayers are with both families because regardless, both families are hurting. This incident saddened me, even though I knew neither one. Bianca was so young and probably had a lot to look forward to in life, dreams she wanted to come to come true, and that has been taken away from her. May God give peace and strength to both families.

[Still In Shock]

Everyone knows that Teenagers do things behind their parents back. NO one in Bianca's family agreed to the so called relationship that she and Lovoris had. The family was totally against them seeing one another. So to those asking where were the parents, if you have kids of your own, then you know that kids have thier way of sneaking out behind the parents back doing what they want. And sad to say the on Sunday October 25th Lavoris' Uncle shot and killed himself as well. Now something is unstable about that family. Now Bianca has left a 3 year old brother behind that has so many questions and is very confused to be only 3 years old. She was a soldier in the National Guard, sister, niece , friend, daughter, and well loved person by many. Her birthday was just 2 days ago she would have been 18 years old and was set to graduate high school on May22 2010. A straight A student. Rest In Peace beautiful girl.

Bianca was a very beautiful person. I might have not known her as long as others have in her community but im sure they would say she didnt deserve this. I wouldnt ask no one to do anything that i wouldn't. So to all whom may come across this forum for Bianca, PLEASE LEAVE YOUR SUGGESTIONS TO YOURSELF AND ONLY OFFER PRAYERS AND EXPRESS A LITTLE JOY THAT SHE HAS MOVED ON TO A BETTER PLACE..... WHERE SHE WOULD NO LONGER BE WORRIED OR SAD..... FOR SHE WOULD HAVE AN ENTERNAL JOYFUL LIFE BESIDE THE LORD. I WILL MISS HER DEARLY BUT IM HAPPY THAT SHES IN A BETTER PLACE.

[to whom it may concern]

I think that who ever are posting these stupid comments need to be told that it is not right for u all to be sayn this when these people have lost their child. save yo stupid comments to yoself!!!!!!
