(10/29/2019) - The oldest of the five teenagers accused in the deadly I-75 rock throwing case will spend at least 15 more months in prison after he was sentenced Tuesday.

Kyle Anger, who turns 20 years old this week, was sentenced to 39 months to 20 years in prison. He gets credit for 740 days spent in jail since his arrest in 2017.

He also is required to pay restitution of $7,000 to the family of Kenneth White, who got hit by and died from a rock that Anger threw onto the southbound lanes I-75 from the Dodge Road overpass in Vienna Township.

Trevor Gray, Mark Sekelsky, Alexzander Miller and Mikadyn Payne also are charged with throwing rocks onto the freeway with Anger.

Anger was charged as an adult after the October 2017 incident. He pleaded guilty as an adult to second-degree murder.

Anger has remained in the Genesee County Jail since he and four other teenage boys from Clio were arrested. He is accused of throwing the deadly rock that killed White during a game they called "overpassing."

“We just weren’t thinking what the outcome could be of it and just doing dumb stuff,” Anger told the judge about the teens playing the game.

Anger's parents issued a statement after Tuesday's court hearing expressing sympathy for White's family and support for their son before he moves to a prison:

"Words cannot express our deepest sorrow to Mr. White's family, his children, relatives and friends. As we have all learned along the way, there are many families dealing with the heartache from his death and the path the boys have taken with there (sic) future. We pray in time that Kenny's family can find peace and comfort in every step they take and carry on his memory for his children to always remember their father by. As parents we have no answers as to the whys and we can only take it one day at a time and be there for our son. We hope and pray Kenny's family can find it in their hearts to Kyle and the others for this tragic turn of events so the healing process can begin by all."

All five Clio teens accepted plea agreements last year -- second-degree murder for Anger and manslaughter for the four younger suspects.

The case for the four younger teens remains in limbo while a judge decides whether they can be moved down to the juvenile court system.
