Chicago police have arrested a pair of brothers and charged them with murdering the cousin of basketball star Dwyane Wade. Thirty-two-year-old Nykea Aldridge was shot dead on Friday afternoon as she pushed a baby stroller near an elementary school in the Parkway Gardens neighborhood. Her baby was not injured. Brothers Darwin and Derren Sorrells face first-degree murder charges in the killing. Both had felony convictions and were on parole. Aldridge leaves behind four children. Her cousin, Chicago Bulls star Dwyane Wade, spoke out on Twitter, writing: “The city of Chicago is hurting. We need more help & more hands on deck. Not for me and my family but for the future of our world. The YOUTH!” Chicago is on track to see its highest homicide rate since 1997. This is Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson.

Superintendent Eddie Johnson: “This tragedy isn’t just noteworthy because Ms. Aldridge has a famous family member. It’s noteworthy because these two offenders are the prime example of the challenge we face here in Chicago with repeat gun offenders that don’t care who they shoot, don’t care whose life they take, and clearly, clearly don’t fear the consequences of their actions.”
