As Chicago prepares for yet another potentially grim July 4 weekend, political analyst Gianno Caldwell is on a mission for justice for his brother’s unsolved murder. Last year, the city saw over 100 shootings during the holiday, resulting in 19 fatalities, a trend that raises serious concerns in the Windy City.
This painful issue is personal for Caldwell, whose brother, Christian Beamon, was tragically killed in June 2022. The young victim, just 18 years old, was caught in a shooting on Chicago’s South Side that was intended for someone else, as stated by the Chicago Police Department.
In his recently published book, The Day My Brother Was Murdered: My Journey Through America’s Violent Crime Crisis, Caldwell recounts his harrowing journey seeking answers following his brother’s death. He acknowledges the unique position he holds—having access to connections that can spotlight the crisis of violent crime affecting countless families.
While awaiting updates from law enforcement about his brother’s case, Caldwell has taken proactive steps by offering a $250,000 reward for credible information related to the shooting and founding the Caldwell Institute for Public Safety. This nonprofit aims to enhance public safety and support victims in similar predicaments.
Caldwell’s campaign for justice and awareness emphasizes that far too many lives have already been lost to violence—a reality that demands urgent attention.
