A man and two women are being held in lieu of $900,000 bail after they allegedly beat a man to death with a broom handle, a metal baseball bat and a two-by-four on the West Side after a Facebook fight, authorities said.
Lithia Henderson, 41, Marshalla Kelly, 23, and Marshall L. Henderson, 21, appeared in court Sunday, where a judge set bail at $900,000 for each of them, according to Cook County states attorney office spokeswoman Tandra Simonton.
The three, from Chicago, are charged with murder in the death of 23-year-old Andre Jackson and are slated to appear again in court Sept. 2.
The incident happened the night of Aug. 4 when Jackson and a 20-year-old male family member went, unarmed, to the area of the 4600 block of West Gladys Avenue in West Garfield Park to confront a witness. Jackson had been fighting with the man on Facebook over the past few months,(snip)

When Jackson and his relative got there, they were met by the three defendants and the male witness. Initially, a fistfight erupted between Jackson and the male witness about their Facebook feud. But Marshall Henderson soon jumped in and began attacking Jackson with his fists, prompting Jacksons family member to join in to help his relative, Simonton said.

If a gun had been used, this story would have gotten more attention from MSM.
Wow, I'm amazed you got that from any sort of "contemporary" Sociology class: the acknowledgment that "Dads are essential" [for proper upbringing of children.]
Three less hitlary votes.
Which one is the male?
The dead guy can still vote.
I KNEW IT! I didn’t have to look but I did. Assumptions CONFIRMED!
I thought they all were.
Thomas Sowell wrote a book on the subject - Black Rednecks and White Liberals.
I'm sure there will be a polling place in the prison yard. And the cemetery, of course.
Who cares? One look at the pictures tells us we don't need to know.
I think the one in the middle used to play 2nd base for the Cardinals.
Is this the first recorded instance in history to prove gun control is working in Chicago?
Holy crap. . .good gawd. . .ugly down to a whole new level.
That’s a rough looking 23. Any chil’run from all these paramours?
Every cloud has a silver lining. Hillary lost four votes.
they are trying for prison votes.
I consider it an exercise in reading comprehension, useful for figuring out the garble at DMV websites, for example.
Dr. Sowell's sources for that piece included Grady McWhiney's "Cracker Culture" and David Hackett Fisher's "Albion's Seed."
Without knowing, I can guarantee the guy killed was black too. Black on black violence and death again though.
Heck. i’d fight for my life to get away from those two also. Egads. BARF!!!
