The family friend who was convicted of death by vessel in the Jet Ski accident that killed 11-year-old Kile Glover was sentenced to serve four years in prison, the Associated Press reports.
Kile Glover is the son of R&B singer Usher Ryamond’s ex-wife Tameka Raymond and music industry veteran Ryan Glover.
A Hall County jury convicted Jeffrey Hubbard of homicide by vessel last month. He was also convicted of serious injury by vessel, reckless operation of a vessel, unlawful operation of a personal watercraft and a boat traffic violation, the AP reports.
Hubbard was riding a Jet Ski that ran over Glover and a then 15-year-old friend on Lake Lanier in the summer of 2012. Kile lingered on life support for 5 days until he was removed and pronounced dead. The 15-year-old daughter of Kandi Burruss’ business partner Peaches Chin survived her injuries.
Hubbard’s lawyer argued that Kile’s death was a tragic accident.
“At the end of the day, I know he didn’t do it on purpose,” Tameka told Channel 2 Action News in 2012. “He could’ve only loved Kile.”
