Fox News analyst Gianno Caldwell took to social media to share news that his 18-year-old brother Christian Beamons had been shot dead in Morgan Park on the South Side early Friday.
“Yesterday was legitimately the worst day of my existence,” Caldwell wrote on his social media platforms Saturday. “After all the things my family has been through never could I have imagined my baby brother’s life would be stolen from him.”

According to police, Beamons and another man and woman were outside in a group when a man shot at them and then got into a black sedan to flee the scene, heading east.

Paramedics rushed him to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead at 2:46 a.m.
