Gianno Caldwell, whose 18-year-old brother was fatally shot in Chicago last year, called on federal lawmakers Tuesday to help address the city's glaring violent crime rates, which have remained elevated in recent years.
Caldwell, a Fox News analyst and consulting firm owner, made his appeal to congressional Republicans during a field event they hosted as part of a series of stops to bring attention to crime in urban locations."The police have repeatedly said that my brother was not the target, that he just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time," Caldwell told the lawmakers.
Gianno Caldwell said that an arrest had recently been made in the case but that the murder"has not yet been solved." "I had access to a platform most families do not. Even then, it didn't last long," Caldwell said."Soon, police weren't returning my calls.""On the same day my brother was killed, a 5-month-old girl by the name of Cecelia was murdered in a drive-by shooting while sitting in the backseat of a car with her family," Caldwell said."Chicago is an active war zone. This is not hyperbole."Listen to his powerful testimony ⬇️ pic.twitter.
He said of Foxx specifically that she"refuses to prosecute, decriminalization of offenses, laws like the SAFE-T Act, which ends cash bail and allow criminals back on the street to commit more crime, and the 'no chase' policy, which constrains the police from doing their jobs."
