GIANNO CALDWELL: My brother would have been 22 today. We must defeat the violent crime epidemic

On Wednesday, Feb. 18, my younger brother Christian would have turned 22 years old.

It’s hard to believe that in just a few months, it will be four years since he was tragically murdered on the South Side of Chicago. Christian had just graduated from high school. He had his whole life ahead of him. He dreamed of attending UCLA. We even took a college tour together.

Instead, on June 24, 2022, my brother was murdered while standing with friends on a city street.

A black SUV pulled up.
