Loyola tragedy: Venezuelan migrant charged with murder in Sheridan Gorman's death
TL;DR
Prosecutors say 25-year-old Jose G. Medina, a Venezuelan migrant, shot 18-year-old Loyola University Chicago student Sheridan Gorman as she walked with friends near campus. Medina was charged with first-degree murder and related counts; DHS described him as an undocumented migrant, and ICE had issued a detainer. Security video linked the gun to Medina, who was hospitalized for tuberculosis when a hearing was scheduled. The family condemned attempts to politicize the tragedy, urging accountability for the alleged killer.
