Former heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield, second from front, pays his respects during a funeral service for former boxing champion Vernon Forrest at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, Ga., Monday, Aug. 3, 2009. Forrest was shot and killed in an attempted robbery.
A 20-year-old Atlanta man was charged Tuesday with murder in the shooting death of ex-boxing champion Vernon Forrest, although authorities said they do not believe he was the triggerman.
Demario Ware was also charged with aggravated assault and armed robbery, Atlanta police Lt. Keith Meadows said. The 38-year-old Forrest was shot to death on July 25 after he chased a man who robbed him of his championship ring and Rolex watch, police said.
