DETROIT - Authorities announced murder charges at a news conference Monday afternoon in connection with the recent death of a 32-year-old man killed when a rock was thrown off an overpass on I-75 in Vienna Township.
LATEST UPDATE: 5 teenage boys charged with murder in deadly rock-throwing incident on I-75
Kenneth Andrew White, 32, of Mount Morris Township, was in a van Wednesday heading south on I-75 when the windshield was struck by a large rock in Vienna Township, police said. The rock went through the windshield and hit White, who was in the passenger seat. He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
Authorities said four other cars were struck with large rocks and were waiting for police to arrive when the van was hit. No other injuries were reported.
Officials said it's been an intense homicide investigation. They are asking for information from anyone who has heard anything about the incident.
Sources said that officials were directed to a person from a social media tip. On Friday, authorities confirmed several teens were in custody and being questioned.
All five teens were charged with second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit second-degree murder and six felony counts of malicious destruction of property.
Family devastated; victim had 5-year-old son
White's family and the community are torn apart by White's death. Amy Cagle had to tell her 5-year-old son that his father was killed coming home from work.
"He was a good man and a good father," Cagle said.
Police said somebody threw the large rock off of the Dodge Road overpass north of Flint, hitting the van White was riding home in from his construction job.
"For some senseless act, for it to be just a rock, just to take him so soon," Cagle said.
Before White and his friend came through the area on I-75, police said 20 rocks had already been thrown. Four other cars had pulled over, and drivers called 911.
"I just don't understand what a person could be thinking to even want to do something like that," said Alicia Waskoski, White's sister. "To know they're putting lives in danger by just throwing rocks over the interpass."
Investigators have been asking for the public's help tracking down the people who threw the rocks.
"We have a family here," Genesee County Undersferiff Chris Swanson said. "This guy's got a fiance. He's got a child. He's on his way back from a hard day's work and out of the blue comes a rock and he loses his life. We want to find out who's responsible for this."
"He took away a child's father, and the love of my life," Cagle said. "His stupid act took away a life." -

2017-10-24 at 8:37 AM UTCI heard some of the other rocks they threw were up to twenty pounds. And the fact that they had already hit four other cars which were pulled over waiting for the cops to show up... Doesn't look good for them. Some judge is gonna make an example out of them. I feel a little bad because they were probably just being dumb kids, but man, you can't throw bowling ball weight rocks at cars repeatedly and not consider that someone might get seriously hurt.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

2017-10-24 at 12:31 PM UTCCollectively still dumber than a box of rocks.
I bet them faggots all are wearing matching socks.
Perfect for a boy band called the Laughingstocks
The only member missin is incringitycock.
Quite the coincidence that all 5 of them happen to fit the exact descriptions of what I've always had categorized in my head under 'Types of faces I'd like to hurl stones at while standing on a bridge'
In my system of justice the kid who was responsible for the fatal rock throw would be notified by myself that a new development in evidence exonerates him entirely and he's totally free to go. While he was booking out I'd pull him aside and offer a million dollars for no reason other than to see his pimply ass face light up with joy and disbelief for the very last time, then I'd walk him to the final exit door, wish him well, and swiftly cut his Achilles tendons as he turns to leave.
I'd pause at this point to let out my signature CACKLING WOLF CALL which would be echoed back by anyone in ear shot, a sign of unity and agreement acknowledging that we just all really really like doing it and we are satisfied. Then a cheerful wave goodbye before dragging him by his eye sockets to the trunk of my vehicle to be escorted several hours away to a remote underground facility designed specifically for assisting and accommodating murder and rape victims' family members as they orchestrate and carry out any such vengeance desires their angry hearts so yearn for.
And then yeah, that's it. The House of Penance. Families privately serving the justice that ought to be their to serve in the first place. Bring the kids! -

Wow, that's fucked up. They definitely deserve what they get. Also if they're showing their faces/names then they're over 18. Way too old to be doing this kind of shit and not understanding the consequences. -

The slenderman girls were under 18 and they showed their faces.. Just sayin -
2017-10-24 at 5:39 PM UTCYeah the identification confidentiality of juveniles can sometimes be dismissed for certain serious crimes even if they haven't been found guilty, apparently. Of course it always varies state to state.
This was MichigN. Maybe actro knows the DEETS on MIs juvenile protection laws. -
2017-10-24 at 5:41 PM UTCFor that to be legal in the US, their parents would have had to give permission. Most parents don't do that.
Also don't scroll to the bottom of the article. I'm always right. So you can trust me. -

Do you know the specific legislation here? I'm trying to find something useful but all I get is articles about facebook. -

2017-10-24 at 6:28 PM UTCThey're all under 18. I think they're more concerned with protecting identities of juvenile victims, not offenders. Especially when it's a violent crime.
