Crazy in Chi Town
Nephew of Wade among Chicago shooting victims
A nephew of Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade was one of 13 men shot -- two fatally -- during a violent six-hour stretch in Chicago, another indication that violence is on the rise in the nation's third-largest city.
A spokesperson for Wade confirmed that his nephew was one of those injured in a Thursday shooting at a convenience store. The spokesperson declined to confirm the nephew's name or condition.
Wade, a Chicago native, was playing in a game at Toronto on Friday night.
Wade's nephew was one of six males shot at a store on Chicago's South Side at about 6 p.m. Thursday by hooded men who police said fled the scene in an SUV. One man was dead at the scene and four others -- ranging in age from 16 to 24 -- were hospitalized in critical condition. The Cook County medical examiner's office identified the slain man as Shawndell Harris, 22.
"I don't have all of the details at this time," Wade said in a written statement released early Friday evening. "My thoughts and prayers are with all involved, including my nephew and sister. Having grown up in the inner-city, I am aware of the difficult realities that exist on the streets. One of the goals of my foundation, the Wade's World Foundation, is to continue to spread the message that the violence needs to stop."
Wade was expected to have further comment in his postgame media availability.
The news of the shooting involving Wade's nephew comes one week after the eight-time NBA All-Star was among the Heat players who spoke out about the shooting of Florida teen Trayvon Martin. A neighborhood watch volunteer fatally shot the 17-year-old, although no arrest has been made because the volunteer has claimed self-defense.
Of the Martin shooting, Wade said that, "as a father, this hits home."
In Chicago, there were three other shootings during Thursday's stretch of violence, police said.
- Shortly after 5 p.m. Thursday, David Gully, 31, was fatally shot in the head across the street from his South Side home, police said. Suspects have been questioned and several weapons have been recovered, police said.
- At about 10:30 p.m. Thursday, four people standing in a parking lot on Chicago's West Side were wounded when a gunman fired at them from a moving vehicle, police said.
- Two other men were wounded in separate shootings on the South Side - one in the leg and one in the buttocks.
The shootings are part of a larger uptick in violence across the city this year. From Jan. 1 to March 29 of this year, there were 474 shootings, 101 of them fatal, according to the Chicago Police Department. During the same time period last year, there were 346 shootings, 55 fatal.
Tio Hardiman, director of the anti-violence group CeaseFire, said he believes clashes are increasing because the city is dealing with violence as a crime problem and not as a public health epidemic.Comment

Re: NBA Off Topic
Yeah honestly I think Haslem is one of my top 5 favorite players ever, guy just does work every single possession. Offense and defense, very nice guy.
And yeah about the Bosh thing, I didn't like how people did that either. If any of us lost in the championship or the big stage I know we'd cry. Hell I know I would. Shows how much it meant to him to me. And some guys respond differently, some guys get mad, some cry, some push bikes and some throw jerseys. And also, I thought Wade handled that press conference very well, gave credit to Dallas which was deserved while LeBron talks about his haters? I don't know but like I said D Wade has changed since LBJ got there. The pre-LeBron Wade would've never pulled the "cough" thing or stupid crap like that."To the last minute, to the last second, to the last man, we fight"Comment

Re: NBA Off Topic
It was but I think we've seen that if there's something that the Heat lack, its someone to settle them down at some points and get them good shots. Steve Nash on that team isn't going to let them go into those 5 minute stretches where they iso every time down the court. Chalmers and Cole don't have the headway or the ability to stop something like that.NFL: Pittsburgh Steelers

Re: NBA Off Topic
They actually don't need a guy like Nash on their team.
I'd think PG is the least of their problems, to be honest.#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: NBA Off Topic
Of course.
What I'm saying is they don't need Nash now or next year and that Chalmers/Cole are fine enough options for them now and long term.#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: NBA Off Topic
They don't need Nash and they definitely don't need Terry. Chalmers\Cole are fine and then you get LeBron or Wade bringing the ball. What they need is a big, offensive minded one who can play some defence too.NBAComment
