Two brothers have been charged for the fatal shooting of the cousin of NBA star Dwyane Wade, police said.
Darwin Sorells, 26, and Derren Sorells, 22, were charged for the murder of Nykea Aldridge, the Chicago Police Department announced on Twitter.
Police said the older brother served time behind bars for a gun charge and is on parole. The younger brother is also on parole, and is a “documented member” of the Gangster Disciples gang.
Wade’s first cousin, Nykea Aldridge, was the unintended victim of gunfire Friday as she pushed her 3-week-old baby girl on a stroller in Chicago’s south side, police said.
Aldridge, a 32-year-old mother of four, died from shots to her head and arm. The baby was not harmed.
Donald Trump, meanwhile, jumped to politicize the death to appeal to minority voters.
"Dwayne Wade's cousin was just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago. Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!" the Republican presidential nominee tweeted Saturday, not bothering to spell the NBA player's name correctly.
Trump deleted the typo tweet after three hours and reposted it with proper spelling.
