Gabrielle Union’s Husband, Dwayne Wade Mourns Cousin Shot Dead in Chicago

Actress Gabrielle Union and her superstar basketballer husband, Dwayne Wade, are currently in mourning.


According to ABC, Wade’s cousin, Nykea Aldridge, was shot dead during a crossfire yesterday in Chicago’s Parkway Gardens neighbourhood.


The 32-year-old mother of four was walking from the Dulles School of Excellence at about 3:30 p.m. when two armed men opened fire on another man in the vicinity. Sadly, Aldridge was shot in the head and arm during the crossfire. She was rushed to the Stroger Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Mourning her first cousin, Dwayne Wade who plays for the Chicago Bulls took to Twitter to condemn the violence in the city.

“My cousin was killed today in Chicago. Another act of senseless gun violence. 4 kids lost their mom for NO REASON. Unreal. #EnoughIsEnough” he said.

Wade’s mother, Pastor Jolinda Wade, also condemned the shooting.
“Just sat up on a panel yesterday, The Undefeated, talking about the violence that’s going on within our city of Chiacgo, never knowing that the next day we would be the ones that would be actually living and experiencing it,” Pastor Wade said.

Meanwhile, police investigators have confirmed that Aldridge was not the intended target. Unlike the case of rapper Lil Wayne’s ex-wife, Toya Wright’s two brothers who were murdered in New Orleans.

Black women were technically degraded to objects for hard work and pleasure with no real value attached to their feelings. History recorded that black women were raped and dehumanized without fear of punishment. The reasons of their white owners couldn't be justified as they smelt of share hatred and xenophobia for their skin colour. Black men were also sexually abused by slaveholders, and sometimes, their wives were not spared from the ill-treatment as they worked tirelessly on farmlands with stipends that amounted to virtually nothing.
