Yahoo News explained it best by saying “it’s a day ending in “y” and so it is that Donald Trump has sparked another firestorm of criticism”, as the world piled on the bombastic billionaire for his emotionally deranged response to learning of the tragic death of 32-year-old Nykea Aldridge, Dwyane Wade’s cousin who was shot and killed Friday night in Chicago.
His cousin, Nykea Aldridge, died of gunshot wounds after two men fired shots, apparently aimed at her companion, while the pair were walking and pushing a baby stroller in Chicago’s South Side. She was a crime, government, and breaking news reporter for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and reporter for the Waukesha Freeman newspaper. Guglielmi says she was not the intended target. Police are now investigating if the incident was an attempted robbery. He had been sentenced to six years in January 2013 but was released early, Johnson said.
Derren Sorells is a documented member of the Gangster Disciples and was out on parole, Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielm said on Twitter.
Derren Sorells, 22, and Darwin Sorells, 26, were charged overnight for the murder of Aldridge.
Hopefully Wade decision to play for the Chicago Bulls after signing a 2-year contract this summer will allow him and his family to support Aldrige’s family and infant child.
Johnson explained that 1,400 people on the city’s “Strategic Subject List” are to blame for most of the gun violence that has claimed more than 435 lives so far this year.
“If you have a magic bullet to stop crime not just here, but everywhere in America, then please, share it with us”, he said curtly. You can’t walk down the streets without getting SHOT!
On Saturday morning, he tweeted: “The city of Chicago is hurting”. “We take every death in Chicago seriously, but we need the community’s help to bring these cases to a successful resolution”.
Aldridge’s family held a prayer vigil for her Sunday afternoon at the Willie Mae Morris Empowerment Center.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence sidestepped questions Sunday morning on CNN’s “State of the Union” about the flow of guns into IL from his state.
