'Living in Chicago should not come with a death sentence, but it does for so many people that live here.'
Caldwell's 18-year-old brother, Christian, was shot along with two other people in the 11400 block of South Vincennes Avenue about 2:05 a.m. inChristian was with a group of people when an unidentified male opened fire and fled in a black sedan going east, Chicago police said.
"To say heartbroken wouldn't even measure it. My family is shattered right now," Caldwell said. "The fact that this continues to happen in this city, one in which I grew up in and one in which I love, is utterly disappointing, disgusting. There's no value for human life here. That value has been eroded over the years.
"It was late on Memorial Day in 2017. The night was surprisingly cool; it felt more like early spring than early summer. My younger brother was sitting in a parked car on the South Side of Chicago with a couple of his friends. Two men approached, pulled automatic pistols, and started firing," he wrote in the Post.
Caldwell previously criticized Chicago's leadership for choosing politics over people – after then-President Donald Trump offered federal resources to fight the violence epidemic."I guess the Black bodies dying in the streets of Chicago didn’t constitute an urgent enough issue for Emanuel to welcome the president’s help."
During the segment, the Fox News Analyst brought up the incident where one of his siblings was shot at. "I think back to just several years ago my younger brother during Memorial Day weekend was in a car with two of his friends when two men walked up and shot that car 25 times," he recalled.
