i hate erick . he shouldnt be around on this earth for what he did. he should receive the death penalty, for killing someone - a MOM, a daughter, a friend, a sister, an aunt, a girlfriend - he left all her family & friends, which she knew basically the whole city - in sadness & an anger - he deserves the worst punishment ever !

clearly people aren't understanding the whole aspect to all of this. being a mother you do not go out looking to fight other girls and you do not show up to someones house with a couple of people making them feel threatened. what erick did is not right but neither is biancas decision nor victors. they should have been home taking care of their responsibilities.

I personally knew Bianca, a loving mother to a beautiful baby boy. A lover best friend to Victor she's just an all around good friend. It's horrible what Erick has done taking her away from all of us because of some chick fight. He shouldn't of be released after stabbing someone. The DA's fault! But he was bound to pull a stunt like this. Killing someone so innocent. Bianca everyone loves you and misses you. Watch over Juni, Victor.

you guys can scream eric eric eric all day , and may he rot in hell no doubt, but this young woman went to someones house to fight with another chick, big mistake, you dont go to no ones house to confront them on their territory, your mothers shoulda taught you that and if anyone who doesnt know that is listening take notes, not a smart move, she shoulda turned the ringer off and kept it moving. The father of her baby is an idiot as well, bringing the mother of your child to fight some girl !

the worst thing about it, is that the idiot probably doesn't even think he did anything wrong, and that's what's wrong in society today. little punk kids think that they're so cool cause they see it on tv and then go do it in real life. not thinking of the consequences, just what 50 cent and p diddy did on tv yesterday. makes me sick. i hope whatever god he believes in, has mercy on his soul, because nobody else will.

I personally knew Bianca and her family. This family is devistated as I spent time with them last night. I get so mad on how kids deal with their problems and disagreements now days, there is no excuse to use any weapons. May God be with all of them. But thank God that Cournoyer was caught.

Erick Cournoyer has always been a problem. I myself have had issues with him. What Erick has done to Bianca Rosado deeply disturbs me but it does not surprise me. Erick is a DISGUSTING person in & out!!! As for Bianca Rosado & her family, my thoughts & prairs are with you!
