Gianno Caldwell seeks justice for brother killed in blue city 'enamored with criminals' rights': alderman
Share this @internewscast.com

Fox News political analyst Gianno Caldwell has gone nearly three years without answers in his younger brother’s 2022 murder in Chicago.

Christian Beamon, the 18-year-old brother of Caldwell, was one of the two people who lost their lives, with two others injured during a shooting on Chicago’s South Side on June 24, 2022. The Chicago Police Department (CPD) indicated that the attack was not meant for him.

“It’s devastating for my family and me, especially as I have been actively searching for answers regarding my brother’s murder,” Caldwell expressed to Fox News Digital. “Three years ago, I would never have imagined being in this situation. It’s terrible to realize that families like mine face these kinds of tragedies frequently, remaining without answers for years. Nevertheless, I must persist in seeking justice for my brother. I am left with no other option.”

The CPD informed Fox News Digital that the investigation into Beamon’s murder continues, and as of Monday, no arrests have been made related to the shooting.

“One murder is too many. It is way too many, and it’s hard to say that we’re moving in the right direction in the city of Chicago when there are still soft-on-crime policies in place that allow and empower criminals to commit more crime,” Caldwell said. “Things like the no-chase policy where the police have to call in to their supervisor with their own foot in a car to get permission to pursue a suspect.”

Walsh agreed that the number of murders in Chicago remains too high even though it has fallen since 2021. The “America’s Most Wanted” host believes Beamon is one of many teens in Chicago who become “collateral damage” in violent gang and drug wars; many killers don’t even know their victims, which he believes to be the case in Beamon’s murder.

“They’re enamored with protecting criminals.”

— Raymond Lopez, Chicago alderman

“We have so many particularly Democratic leaders who just fight that tooth and nail because they’re enamored with protecting criminals, and because they are so worried about criminal’s rights they forget about victims and victims’ rights, which is how you can have someone like Gianno Caldwell — a known identity, a known figure on the news stage — still without justice for his 18-year-old brother’s murder,” Chicago Alderman Ramond Lopez told Fox News Digital.

Caldwell has since turned his pain into action with the Caldwell Institute for Public Safety, which aims to help families like his get justice for their loved ones who died as a result of violent crime.

“The Institute is about law and order, it’s about victims’ rights and protecting victims, but it’s ultimately about justice, no matter what that looks like, whether it be somebody who was … wrongly convicted or if it’s about an individual who should be in jail and should be convicted,” he explained.

Caldwell and his brother were two of nine siblings who grew up poor in Chicago. The Fox analyst has repeatedly criticized the city’s soft-on-crime policies that allow repeat offenders back on the streets. 

Born in 2004, Beamon was the youngest of the siblings and had just turned 18 in 2022. Caldwell previously told Fox News Digital that Beamon and his other younger brothers are like sons to him as the oldest sibling.

Cook County Crime Stoppers is offering a $15,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspect or suspects involved in the shooting that left Beamon dead.
