The mother of Loyola college student Sheridan Gorman has spoken out after her 18-year-old daughter was murdered by 25-year-old Venezuelan migrant Jose Medina-Medina.
Gorman was shot dead last Thursday while walking with friends to see the Northern Lights, according to the family's attorney.
Jessica Gorman vowed to get 'justice' for her daughter, but refused to acknowledge the migrant gunman.
'We are beyond shattered,' Jessica said outside the family's home. 'We are gonna get justice for Sheridan.'
Chicago police arrested Medina-Medina on charges, including a first-degree murder charge, after utilizing facial recognition software to compare images from surveillance footage to U.S. Customs and Border Protection records.
Medina-Medina had stopped appearing in court on shoplifting charges in 2023 and an arrest warrant was issued for him.
Federal officials have said that Medina-Medina, an undocumented Venezuelan national, should have never been released after that 2023 arrest.
