Sheridan Gorman Celebration of Life Held as Yorktown, N.Y., Mourns College Student Killed in Chicago
Jose Medina-Medina faces multiple charges including first-degree murder after the fatal shooting of Loyola freshman Sheridan Gorman near campus in a case stirring immigration policy debates.
- On March 19, Loyola University Chicago freshman Sheridan Gorman was fatally shot in Chicago. Authorities charged Venezuelan migrant Jose Medina-Medina with first-degree murder and attempted murder in the 18-year-old's death.
- Department of Homeland Security records show Border Patrol apprehended Medina in May 2023, then released him into the U.S. under the Biden administration. His involvement has reignited debate over Illinois' sanctuary city policies.
- About 500 community members gathered Saturday at The Jack DeVito Memorial Field in Yorktown Heights, New York, to honor Gorman. Attendees wore green and white, remembering the 18-year-old as deeply loved.

- In court Friday, Medina's public defender claimed the suspect suffered brain damage from a head wound seven years ago. Yorktown Supervisor Lachterman urged the community to remember Gorman rather than turn her into a political symbol.
