Man Accused of Shooting Loyola Student Sheridan Gorman Ordered Detained as Prosecutors Detail "Random" Attack
Jose Medina, charged with murder for the random shooting of Loyola student Sheridan Gorman, remains detained as prosecutors highlight community safety risks.
- On Friday, Circuit Judge D Anthony Thedford denied release for Jose Medina, 26, accused of fatally shooting 18-year-old Loyola University Chicago student Sheridan Gorman on March 19.
- Prosecutors alleged Medina ambushed Gorman at Tobey Prinz Beach, jumping from behind a lighthouse wearing a black ski mask and firing one round that struck her upper back.
- Investigators recovered a 40-caliber handgun wrapped in a ski mask from the apartment, while public defender Julie Koehler argued Medina suffers from severe brain damage and developmental delays from a prior shooting.
- In an unusual move, Koehler requested Medina remain in Cook County custody to prevent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement from detaining him, citing fear he would be deported to a third country.
- Gorman's death sparked intense political debate, with President Donald Trump calling the killing "devastating" and blaming former President Joe Biden's immigration policies, while the family demands accountability and real change.
