The Chicago police department has failed my family: Gianno Caldwell
Fox News political analyst Gianno Caldwell reflects on his younger brother's murder one year later as he calls on the FBI to take over the investigation on 'Your World.'
A 9-year-old boy was fatally shot during a birthday party in Franklin Park, Illinois on Saturday, police say.
Ulysses Campos was attending his grandmother's 70th birthday party when he was shot in the chest at around 10:15 p.m, NBC Chicago reported. He and other children were reportedly playing outside when someone in a car opened fire.
Campos' family members said that the 9-year-old – who was two weeks away from his 10th birthday – loved Batman and video games, according to FOX 32 Chicago.

"He was a kindhearted, loving kid, he loved playing video games with his cousins, he had a creative imagination, and was always full of excitement," a GoFundMe created by a family member read. "He is a beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, and cousin. He will be eternally missed."
