Police say the teens threw a rock over an overpass near Dodge Road, striking and killing 32-year-old Kenneth White as he rode passenger in a vehicle heading down the highway.

Police say Kyle Anger is accused of throwing the rock that hit the van. All defendants are being tried as adults.

Genesee County District Court Judge William Crawford cited the seriousness of the crime and refused to grant bond. Not-guilty pleas were entered.
