Three men have been charged with Chicago’s first homicide of 2009. Chicago police say they’ve charged 26-year-old Lorenzo Hall of Steger with first-degree murder and aggravated battery in the New Year Day’s death of 47-year-old David Garrett. Officials have also charged 26-year-old Forrest Smith of Mt. Prospect and 19-year-old Malcolm Whitehead of Rolling Meadows with first-degree murder. Police say 25-year-old Lee Foster of Glenview was with the men and has been charged with probation violation. Authorities say the men were arguing in the early hours of Jan. 1 when Hall allegedly drew a handgun and shot Garrett in the head. Officials say Hall and the others fled but were later identified by surveillance video. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
