Fox News contributor Gianno Caldwell testified before a hearing chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Tuesday.
At a House Judiciary field hearing in Chicago, Caldwell discussed the June murder of his brother, Christian. Retired Chicago law enforcement officers Lt. John Garrido III and Carlos Yanez Jr. also appeared at the hearing.
"As you all know, I work for Fox News Channel, and it's been a tremendous platform for me," Caldwell told the committee. "And I thank the people over at Fox News Channel, Suzanne Scott and many others, who've allowed me to be able to tell my story."

"And as I begin to tell the story, it really hit me that many people who don't have access to such platforms to be able to get justice for their families, to have their voices known," he continued. "When my brother was murdered, the newscast that day said 18 year old murdered, two other people shot. That was it, no name, no picture."
Caldwell said that he sought the spotlight because he wanted his brother's murder case to be solved.

"So I've been able to utilize the platform in which I have at Fox News to share other stories of families who are looking for that help," he said. "And I'm thinking, the folks who live in Chicago, a lot of poor people that live in these particular areas, they're receiving a brunt of the murders, how can they afford this?"
