A day after Dwyane Wade and his mother, pastor Jolina Wade, participated in an ESPN open forum on gun violence in the city of Chicago, their family was forced to endure a tragedy. Wade's cousin Nykea Aldridge was killed by gun shots while pushing a stroller in the South Side of Chicago. The gunfire was not intended for her, but for a for-hire driver two men were harassing, threatening, and chasing after brandishing guns.

Those two men have been arrested and charged in the shooting of Aldridge, according to USA Today.
