Alsip Man Sentenced to 80 Years for Murder of FBI Informant

Forty one-year-old Jerry Henderson of Alsip was sentenced to 80 years in prison Tuesday in connection with the 2006 shooting death of an FBI informant, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Henderson was convicted of first degree murder in January for shooting 41-year-old FBI informant Timothy Forest in a wiretap operation gone bad. Forest was reportedly supposed to exchange $15,000 for guns and grenades from Henderson at a meeting location in Dolton. Agents listened in on a conversation between the two before Henderson shot Forest twice in the head.

Henderson fled the scene but was found the next day in a South Side apartment with a gun that matched Forest’s killing.
