How Fox News’ Gianno Caldwell sought justice for his murdered brother
The day my little brother was murdered in 2022, he was standing with friends on a street in the Morgan Park community on the South Side of Chicago when a black SUV pulled up and several men got out with various guns and opened fire indiscriminately. For a heartbeat, time seemed to pause, the world holding its breath in confusion.
Then came the recognition — the burst of defensive moves and noise; the staccato crack-crack-crack, harsh and unnatural against the night. People screamed, the sound primal and raw, as the crowd scattered.
The SUV now sped away, its engine roaring, leaving behind more cries and glittering fragments of shattered glass. Some 50 shell casings were found on the street, and bullets went through the windows of nearby houses. Three in the crowd were rushed to the hospital; only two survived. Christian had just turned 18 years old.

Fox News’ Gianno Caldwell: I lost my baby brother to Chicago gun violence — and lax crime policy
On the morning of June 24, I received a call no one should ever get. My younger sister, Mia, was crying and screaming into the phone: “Christian is gone.”
“Wait, what do you mean?” I responded, stunned. That’s when Mia said he was killed.
In that moment, my heart stopped, disbelief set in, and I began peppering her with questions. “Who told you that, Mia? How do they know? Was this confirmed by the police or a hospital? Where did this take place?”
The anxious seconds felt like a lifetime.

Gianno Caldwell: Support police and reform – Americans know we can do both. Here's how
Screaming, crying, yells of thanking God were all heard all over the world last Tuesday after a jury found former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin guilty on all counts in the death of George Floyd.
I, too, felt at peace hearing the verdict, and posted a message on Instagram: "THANK GOD! Justice in the Derek Chauvin case was served. GUILTY ON ALL CHARGES."
Even though I’m pro-police and a Black conservative who understands the overwhelming majority of police officers do their jobs honorably, I also know police must be held to account when they violate their oath and figured most conservatives feel the same way.
