Russell Wilson's Foundation Raises More Than $1M for Seattle Children's Hospital
RUSSELL WILSON
Russell Wilson is giving back in a very big way.
The Seattle Seahawks quarterback's Why Not You Foundation has raised $1,060,005 for Seattle Chil- dren's Hospital and its Strong Against Cancer initiative.
"Our mission at the Why Not You Foundation is to em- power and inspire change in others one individual at a time and one kid at a time, and in turn they pass it on creating a snowball effect," Wilson said.
Don Cheadle Reacts To Trump Tweet On Dwyane Wade’s Cousin
DONALD TRUMP AND DON CHEADLE
Actor Don Cheadle added to the criticism of Don- ald Trump Saturday, after the Republican presidential nominee tweeted about the death of Nykea Aldridge, the cousin of basketball player Dwyane Wade who was caught in crossfire and shot in the head and arm while leav- ing a school in Chicago.
"Dwayne [sic] Wade's cousin was just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago. Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!" he tweeted, mis- spelling the athlete's name.
The actor responded in two harshly worded tweets. The first: "You are truly a POS" and the second tweet, " I misspelled " die in a grease fire".
Trump offered his condo- lences later on Twitter and at a rally Saturday to Wade's family.
Variety reported that Cheadle's first two messages launched dozens of tweets condemning Trump and re- sponding to his supporters on- line.

NYKEA ALDRIDGE
DWYANE WADE
DARWIN SORRELLS JR. AND DERREN SORRELLS
Whether you know him as the ‘King of Pop’, ‘MJ’ or simply, ‘The Jackson’, Michael Jackson was a big part of our growing years. All of us have tried to imperson- ate his famous moonwalk at some point. We sing along to Heal The World whenever it plays on the radio, and we dance like ruffians when the
party playlist moves along to Thriller.
Celebrating the life of this small-town boy who became the King of Pop, we remem- ber Michael Jackson fondly on his 58th Birthday and end this with his famous line – “When they say the sky's the limit, to me that's re- ally true.”
Chicago police have ar- rested two brothers in con- nection with the death of NBA star Dwyane Wade's cousin Nykea Aldridge.
Darwin Sorrells Jr., 26, and Derren Sorrells, 22, have each been charged with first-degree murder and first- degree attempted murder, po- lice said Sunday. Darwin Sorrells has also been charged with a count of crim- inal trespass, a misdemeanor.
Both men are gang mem- bers who were on parole for gun convictions, Chicago Po- lice Superintendent Eddie T. Johnson said Sunday at a news conference. They are both being held without bond, a source with knowledge of the case told CNN Sunday.
Aldridge was killed Fri- day afternoon when she was caught in the crossfire of a shooting while pushing her infant child in a stroller near Dulles School of Excellence on the city's south side, police said. The child, about 3 weeks old, was not injured, family members said.
Police: Driver Was The Target
The Sorrells brothers started shooting after one of them "exchanged looks" with a man who was dropping off women he'd picked up in the suburbs and driven into Chicago, Brendan Deeni- han, commander of area cen- tral detectives for Chicago police, said Sunday.
The man was not an Uber driver, as had been previously reported, Deenihan said.
The Sorrells knew the man was not from the neigh- borhood and thought he might have been armed, Deenihan said.
"When he comes out to his vehicle now there are two of-
fenders armed with handguns who began chasing him down and attempting to kill him and they miss and kill the fe- male," Deenihan said.
One of the bullets hit Aldridge in the head and an- other struck her in an arm. She died about 45 minutes later at a hospital. She was near the school because she planned to register some of her four children, police said.
A security guard at the school helped police identify one of the suspects and the driver also cooperated with police, Deenihan said. The weapons have not been recov- ered, he said. School security camera images helped police make the case.
Suspects Were On Parole
Derren Sorrels had six felony convictions and was on parole for motor vehicle theft and escape from custody when the shooting happened, Johnson said. He wore an ankle bracelet but had taken it off during a period in which he was allowed to look for work, Deenihan said.
Darwin Sorrells was on parole for a gun charge. He had been sentenced to six years in January 2013 but was released early, Johnson said.
Wade Speaks Out Against Violence
Wade, the 12-time NBA All-Star who recently left the Miami Heat to sign a contract with his hometown Chicago Bulls, took to Twitter to mourn his cousin's death.
"My cousin was killed today in Chicago," Wade said in one tweet. "Another act of senseless gun violence. 4 kids lost their mom for NO REA- SON. Unreal. #EnoughIsE- nough."
