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 state’s 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)
The fight was about their respective girlfriends, one of whom is Kelly.
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 Jackson’s family member to join in to help his relative, Simonton said.
Around the same time, Lithia Henderson, brandishing a metal baseball bat, hit Jackson in the head with it, and Kelly used a broom handle to hit Jackson, Simonton said.
When the broom handle broke, Kelly went inside her nearby home to retrieve a two-by-four and began to swing it at Jackson but missed. Marshall Henderson took it from her and began to beat Jackson with it as he lie on the ground, and Lithia Henderson struck him again with the bat,

Boy are you showing how young you are.
I guess you never saw the sitcom "Murphy Brown." It was just a series that reflected the "down with men" and "down with dads" era.
The sociology classes gave credence to the eon-long knowledge that the modern feminists were disparaging. That probably means nothing to you though. So be it.
Also, dads or moms are sometimes dead, traveling, etc., and aren't always around. WHY mom or dad are gone is as important as their being gone.
Duty is a good reason for being away; desertion just makes children know that they are abandoned and unwanted.
What I was most amazed with in your comments was that you had (apparently) attended Sociology classes that seemed to stress the importance of fathers in the upbringing of a child. I can't imagine that "modern" sociology classes would ever admit the real importance of men in raising children. The message is too anti-lesbian.
Sociology is one of those "soft" sciences as opposed to the "hard" sciences of physics, chemistry, etc. THAT means that it's all a generality, which stands to reason as it involves human behavior.
But, there is MUCH proof on the efficacy of fatherhood. MOST societies are paternal in nature in that a wife takes her husband's name. She might keep her "maiden" name but that would be her father's name anyway. Men are "supposed" to earn the money and women are "supposed" to have and take care of children. MOST societies today still have that model, notwithstanding television and Hollyweird.
Children do learn to deal with adult authority from their fathers. That is one of the constants throughout sociology.
When fathers are absent from divorce or prison there are usually several problems. When it's work then his absence is acceptable.
I remember Quayle's response and how our media slammed him to pieces. But...there aren't any sociologists OR psychologists who will gainsay that maxim about the importance of fathers. Apparently one of the main sources for this information is from both male and female prison inmates.
I adored my father and I called him "daddy" up to the day he passed away. He adored all four of his daughters!
I think that my marriage was so successful because I had such a positive image for men. I married a man introduced to me by my sister and she chose an A-numbah ONE winner for me. My father would have liked him very much and my husband would have related to him.
BOTH were avid golfers. My husband was a natural at golf and when he started golf he had an eight handicap VERY soon. When we lived in the middle east he was able to play golf every day and, not too much later, became a SCRATCH golfer. WOW.
He and I used to play golf together and it was perfect. On a 400 yard hole he would get to the green in two shots. It took me four but, since I hit a VERY straight ball with a TAD of a lift, we would both be in the center of the fairway, waiting for those in the trees and bushes. I sure miss him!
With the onset of premarital shacking up and easy divorce too many children find themselves NOT getting a real daddy. Another sociology maxim is that children need mommy for the first twelve years of life. After that they REALLY need "Dad." HE seems to be pivotal in how their children will fare in this life and what kind of parents their children would be.
