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.
Police said Friday there were two men being held for questioning in the death.
The intended target of the bullets remains unknown.
Wade, the shooting guard for the Chicago Bulls, denounced the shooting as “another act of senseless gun violence” in a city that has seen more than 2,700 shootings this year.
“4 kids lost their mom for NO REASON. Unreal. #EnoughisEnough,” the hoops star tweeted.
