TEEN COLLEGE GIRL SHERIDAN GORMAN SHOT DEAD: ILLEGAL VENEZUELAN SUSPECT

Author: iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline March 25, 2026 Duration: 47:39

A 25-year-old Venezuelan man stands accused of fatally shooting Sheridan Gorman, a Loyola University freshman. The 18-year-old was walking with friends near campus, reportedly hoping to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.  Near the pier at Tobey Prinz Beach, a man wearing a mask and dressed in all black clothing, ambushed the group. As they ran, Jose Medina, 25, opened fire. Gorman was shot in the back.

Using surveillance video, police tracked Medina, who was arrested at his apartment just blocks from the scene. Officers allegedly found clothing and a 40-caliber handgun matching shell casings found at the scene.

Chicago Police say the shooting appears to have been random.   Medina is facing felony charges of first-degree murder and aggravated use of a firearm.
