A fight that started on Facebook ended with three people using a baseball bat, broom handle and wooden beam to beat 23-year-old Andre Jackson to death earlier this month on the West Side, prosecutors said.

Jackson died five days after the Aug. 4 beating in the 4600 block of West Gladys, according to Cook County prosecutors and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Lithia Henderson, 41; Marshall Henderson, 21; and Marshalla Kelly, 23, have been charged with first-degree murder and aggravated battery.

About 9:30 p.m. Aug. 4, Jackson went with a 20-year-old relative to confront another man that he had been feuding with on Facebook over their respective girlfriends, prosecutors said.

They met his rival, who was accompanied by the Hendersons and Kelly, who was one of the girlfriends at the center of the feud, prosecutors said.
