According to the Chicago Tribune, the cousin of Bulls guard Dwyane Wade was killed in a South Side shooting on Friday.

Nykea Aldridge, a mother of four, was pushing her child in a stroller near an elementary school before tragically getting shot. She was walking with a man, who the Tribune reports was confronted by two other men before they opened fire. Per Rev. Edward Jones Jr., a spokesman for the family, Aldridge was on her way to register her children for school. She was shot in the head and arm before being pronounced dead at a Chicago-area hospital.
