Usher Goes Shopping After Family Friend Who Killed His Stepson Is Charged With Homicide

Usher may have been in a good mood when X17 photographers snapped him shopping at James Perse on Thursday afternoon, so maybe this was before he got the news that his former friend Jeffrey Hubbard was found guilty of homicide for the death of the singer's stepson Kile?

Back in July of 2012, Usher, his stepson Kile (Kile's mother was Usher's ex-wife Tameka Foster) and Hubbard were hanging out on a lake near Atlanta, and when Hubbard's jet ski collided with Glover's inner tube, the boy suffered severe brain injuries and passed away two weeks later. Hubbard was officially arrested in March 2013 and yesterday he was found guilty of homicide by vessel, reckless operation, and unlawful operation of a personal watercraft, TMZ reports.

Usher, 35, and Foster, 43, divorced in 2009 after two years of marriage, and after her son's death, Foster launched "Kile's World," a charity that helps put underprivileged children in summer camp.
