Dwyane Wade Speaks for First Time Since Cousin’s Tragic Death

Nykea Aldridge, the cousin of Dwyane Wade, was tragically shot and killed while pushing one of her children in a stroller back on Aug. 27.

Wade, an active Twitter user, sent out a few tweets about his cousin’s death and the senseless violence that continues to dominate the Chicago streets. He hadn’t truly spoken publicly about his cousin’s murder until an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.

Along with speaking about his cousin’s death, Wade talked about the controversial tweeting of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. After the news of Aldridge’s death hit the airwaves, Trump (and one would assume his team) took to Twitter to make an even bigger mockery of his campaign with this tweet.
