Fox News analyst Gianno Caldwell expressed despair following the shooting death of his 18-year-old brother in Chicago's Morgan Park neighborhood, calling the day when his brother died last week "the worst day of my existence."
In a tweet Saturday, Caldwell, a Chicago native, said he received a call that his teenage baby brother was murdered on the city's South Side.
"Never could I have imagined my baby brother’s life would be stolen from him," he continued. "Please keep my family in your prayers."

Gianno told Fox News he wants those responsible for his brother's death to "turn themselves in" and be "brought to justice" but added that he also hopes "they can be rehabilitated."
"I never, ever, ever thought that my baby brother, just turned 18, would ever be in this situation. We've never had anybody murdered in our family, and we've been through very, very tragic things," he told Fox News. "God has always shielded each and every one of us, so I can't understand how this happened. I'm trying to get the details to understand fully what's going on here."
