Nykea Aldridge was pushing a stroller in the city's Parkway Gardens neighborhood Friday afternoon when two men exchanged gunfire nearby, hitting her in the arm and the head, according to police. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Aldridge, 32, was not the intended target, police said. A relative took custody of the child, who was not hurt, according to ABC station WLS-TV.
Wade, who was born in Chicago, signed with the
Chicago Bulls this July in a move that was celebrated by the community as a homecoming. After news of his cousin's death, he labeled the incident "senseless."
"My cousin was killed today in Chicago. Another act of senseless gun violence. 4 kids lost their mom for NO REASON. Unreal. #EnoughIsEnough," the NBA star tweeted Friday evening.
