Police say NBA star Dwyane Wade's cousin was an innocent bystander pushing her baby in a stroller near a Chicago school when she was fatally shot.

Nykea Aldridge's famous relative, who grew up in Chicago's south suburbs, tweeted about her death Friday. He says it was an ''act of senseless gun violence'' and that Chicago needs ''more help& more hands on deck.''

Wade ended his tweets with the hashtag ''EnoughIsEnough.''

Aldridge's family says the 32-year-old mother of four recently relocated to an area on the city's South Side, about a mile and a half southwest of the University of Chicago.

She was walking to register her kids at the school when two males walked up and fired shots at a third man but hit Aldridge in the head and arm.
