Fox News political analyst Gianno Caldwell’s brother was killed in Chicago on Friday amid a wave of crime sweeping progressive cities across the country.
“Yesterday was the worst day of my existence,” Caldwell wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
“I received a call informing me that my teenage brother had been killed in southern Chicago. I could never have imagined that my little brother’s life would be stolen from him, “he wrote next to a photo of his smiling brother and sister in graduation attire.
Christian Caldwell, 18, was shot dead and two others were injured in a shooting at Morgan Park early Friday morning, according to local reports.

According to cops, the suspect fled the scene in a black van. No arrests have been made.
Caldwell, 36, told Fox News on Saturday that he wanted justice.

“What I’m looking for right now are details from the police to find out who killed my brother. [M]”Brother never had a chance,” he said.
“I would never want to see street justice or violence against people who even killed my little brother. But I want them to go to court, “he added.
Crime in Chicago – whose Democratic mayor Lori Lightfoot once insisted on paying the police before giving up – rose 34 percent in 2022, according to the latest figures from the Chicago Police Department.
Violent crimes – including murder, criminal sexual assault, aggravated beatings and robberies – have increased by 10% so far this year compared to 2021, statistics show.
Other blue cities across the country are seeing similar trends.
Violent crime rose by almost 9% in Los Angeles, by 12% in Washington and rose by an alarming 25.8% in New York, according to statistics.
Less than a week before the fatal shooting of his brother, Caldwell shared a tearful text message on Twitter in which the teenager wished him a happy Father’s Day.

“Happy Father’s Day, big brother, you don’t have physical children, but I’ve always looked at you as the closest thing to a father figure,” the teenager wrote. “[Y]you taught me so much and for that I am always grateful and proud of the things you have done. ”
Elder Caldwell tweeted June 19: “My little brother has never met his father, and as devastating as it is, I am thankful to God that he chose me to be his big brother / father.
