Dwyane Wade’s cousin fatally shot pushing baby in stroller in Chicago

CHICAGO — NBA star Dwyane Wade’s cousin was shot and killed in Chicago while pushing her baby in a stroller near a school where she intended to register her children. Wade lamented on Twitter what he called another “act of senseless gun violence.”

Nykea Aldridge, 32, had recently relocated to an area on the city’s South Side, her family said.

On Friday, Aldridge was near the school, which is about a mile and a half southwest of the University of Chicago, when two males walked up and fired shots at a third man but hit Aldridge in the head and arm.
