Jose Medina’s public defender said that after he turned himself in to authorities in Texas in 2023, he asked to be returned to Colombia, where he had been living. Instead, the attorney said, he was “placed on a bus and sent to Chicago.” chicagotribune.com/2026/03/27/she…
Jose Medina-Medina, the 26-year-old Venezuelan man accused of killing 18-year-old Loyola student Sheridan Gorman in cold blood, was robbed, beaten and shot in the head in 2018 in South America. There’s bullet fragments in his brain and a portion of a skull is missing. He is now developmentally delayed, has the education of a seven-year-old, and can’t read and write. Prosecutors say they have overwhelming evidence of his guilt: video that shows him in a mask, gloves, and dark clothes, hiding behind a lighthouse on Lake Michigan, and shooting Gorman in the back, killing her almost instantly. He had no connection whatsoever to Gorman.

RAW VIDEO: From today’s presser with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. Outrage is exploding across Chicago over the murder of Loyola freshman Sheridan Gorman. A young woman is dead. Her family is grieving. This city is demanding answers. Today I asked the Mayor a simple question: After saying Chicago is safe, will you apologize to Sheridan Gorman's family? He refused — and got angry that it was even asked. Then his staff tried to shut me down. This isn’t the first time I’ve asked him about other violent crimes involving illegal aliens. Same response: no answers. Dismissive. Tone deaf. Mayor Johnson has still yet to issue a statement on Sheridan's death. Governor Pritzker didn’t issue one either — until he was forced to. Meanwhile, Johnson has spentmillions of Chicago taxpayer dollars on illegal aliens in Chicago — but when tragedy hits home, the silence is deafening. No apology. No answers. No accountability. Chicago is outraged — and demanding better.
