Bostic-Aponte was shot three times, including twice in the head. His body was found Jan. 29, 2017 after a neighbor reported seeing a man underneath a tree.
Gibson’s attorney says his client’s alleged accomplice, Tysean Snow, is the one who pulled the trigger.
Snow agreed to plead guilty to reduced charges in exchange for an 18-year prison sentence.
If convicted, Gibson faces up to life in prison.
