Rochester Mother Indicted and Arrested in Death of 16-Year-Old Son

A grand jury acted after police cited video showing the car accelerate with the teen on it.

Overview

  • Aneka Connor, 38, was arrested on a sealed indictment and charged with manslaughter, reckless endangerment, and endangering the welfare of a child.
  • She is being held in the Monroe County Jail on $35,000 cash bail and is due back in court Monday.
  • Police say the October incident followed an argument over a cellphone, when Ca’hry Gibson, 16, jumped onto his mother’s car as she backed out.
  • Investigators report video shows the vehicle accelerating forward and the teen falling to the pavement; he was found unconscious and hospitalized.
  • Ca’hry died in November after weeks on life support, his organs were donated, and his father says he will attend every court appearance seeking justice.
