Sheridan Gorman’s family joined Rep. Mike Lawler at the GOP midterm convention in Dallas to honor her memory and call for stronger action on illegal immigration.
Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old Loyola University Chicago student, was shot and killed on March 19, 2026. She was walking along a lakefront pier at Tobey Prinz Beach with a group of friends when they encountered a masked man hiding behind a lighthouse structure.
25-year-old Jose Medina, an undocumented immigrant from Venezuela, was arrested the following day and charged with first-degree murder. He has pleaded not guilty.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Medina was released from custody months earlier despite an active Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer. DHS released a statement confirming that Medina was released from custody twice. In 2023, the U.S. Border Patrol apprehended the suspect before releasing him, according to DHS. Later that year, he was arrested and released again following a shoplifting arrest.
