“I received a call informing me that my teenage baby brother was murdered on the south side of Chicago. Never could I have imagined my baby brother’s life would be stolen from him,” he wrote alongside a picture of his smiling sibling in his graduation outfit.

The older Caldwell, 36, told Fox News Saturday he now wants justice.

“What I’m looking for right now is details from the police to discover who it was that murdered my brother. [My] baby brother never had a chance,” he said.

“I would never want to see any street justice or violence against the people who even murdered my little brother. But I do want them brought to justice,” he added.

The news comes after a weekend of violence which left at least four people dead, including a five-month-old baby girl.

The infant, who Police identified as Cecilia Thomas, was hit in the head by a bullet coming from another car in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago.

She was taken to the hospital, where she died from her injuries.
