Police Department Superintendent Eddie Johnson, announcing murder charges against two men on parole in the death of Nykea Aldridge, NBA star Dwyane Wade's cousin, said it was time to "get serious" about keeping violent criminals in jail.

"The gun offenders that choose to do this time and time again, we have to hold them accountable," Johnson said, referring to Darwin and Derren Sorrells, the men who were charged with the murder of Alridge. "We need to put them in jail and keep them there."

Aldridge, 32, had been pushing her child in a stroller on the city's South Side on Friday afternoon when gunfire was exchanged nearby, hitting her in the arm and the head, according to police.
