Saturday on “MSNBC Live,” anchor Alex Witt reacted to the shooting death of Chicago Bulls guard Dwyane Wade’s cousin, Nykea Aldridge, who was pushing a stroller on the streets of Chicago.
Witt said murder in parts of Chicago is “becoming so common” that it “barely draws a headline,” but Aldridge’s murder draws attention in part because of Wade’s fame.
Wade tweeted out the news of his cousin’s death and asked for help in the city of Chicago.
My cousin was killed today in Chicago. Another act of senseless gun violence. 4 kids lost their mom for NO REASON. Unreal. #EnoughIsEnough

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!
