Parents of Loyola Chicago freshman call Sheridan Gorman's death a preventable murder

The parents of Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old Loyola University Chicago freshman fatally shot in Chicago, say her death was a preventable murder and demand accountability over why the suspect—an undocumented immigrant with prior encounters with authorities—was free; police say the shooting appeared random, and the suspect, Jose Medina, is charged with first‑degree murder and illegal possession of a firearm. DHS says Medina entered illegally in 2023 and was released after prior incidents; advocates call for policy changes and better federal-state-local cooperation, while the family emphasizes turning tragedy into change rather than politics.
