Caldwell spoke to Fox News about the shooting.

"What I'm looking for right now is details from the police to discover who it was that murdered my brother," Caldwell said. "My baby brother never had a chance."

Caldwell said that his brother was the youngest of nine children and that he loved sports and hanging out with friends. He had just turned 18.

"I never, ever, ever thought that my baby brother would ever be in this situation," Caldwell told Fox News.
