The father of Katie Abraham, a 20-year-old woman killed in Illinois earlier this year, has publicly criticized Governor JB Pritzker for failing to acknowledge her death.
Abraham's father questioned why the governor had publicly mourned victims of a Minnesota tragedy but had 'never said her name' or responded to his private letter following his daughter's death on January 19, 2025.
The remarks come amid growing attention on the fatal shooting of Sheridan Gorman in Chicago, who was shot by a Venezuelan illegal immigrant, Jose Medina, last Thursday.
Abraham's father extended condolences to the Gorman family, calling the latest incident a 'preventable violence.'
He wrote, 'No one should endure this. Another young life lost to preventable violence in Illinois. How many more?'
Katie Abraham, along with Chloe Polzin, was killed in a hit-and-run incident while visiting the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
The Abraham family has been outspoken about their daughter's passing, accusing Illinois Democrats of sanctuary policies while arguing that the nation needs more stringent screening procedures.
