More from the Chicago Tribune:

Chicago basketball star Dwyane Wade’s cousin was shot dead while she was pushing her baby in a stroller Friday afternoon near an elementary school in the Parkway Gardens neighborhood, according to police and a family spokesman.

Nykea Aldridge, 32, and a man were walking in the 6300 block of South Calumet Avenue at about 3:30 p.m. when two men approached and someone began firing at the man, said police and the family spokesman.

The woman was hit in the head and the arm and taken to Stroger Hospital, where she died, police said. The baby was not hurt, and a relative came to the scene and took the child, police said.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office identified Wade’s cousin as Nakiya Aldridge of the 6300 block of South Calumet Avenue. She was pronounced dead at 4:15 p.m. at Stroger, according to the office.

Aldridge had gone to register her children at Dulles School of Excellence when the shooting happened, said Rev. Edward Jones Jr., a spokesman for the family.
