Case overview and legal status
Timothy Green, 33, was found dead in a Rochester, New York, apartment in February 2026. Police allege his biological mother, Andrea Livers, and her partner Lancysa Harris restrained and neglected him. Both were charged with second-degree murder, kidnapping and endangering the welfare of an incompetent or physically disabled person. Charges are allegations; both defendants are presumed innocent.
Victim background
Green was an adult with developmental disabilities. Police reported that he had reunited with his mother after his father’s death. His disability must not be used to diminish his autonomy or dignity.
