Venezuelan migrant charged in killing of Chicago college student
Veteran Chicago reporter William J. Kelly joins rCyFox & FriendsrCO to discuss Venezuelan migrant Jose Medina, who is charged with first-degree murder in the death of a Loyola Chicago student.
The illegal immigrant accused of murdering a college student in Chicago
has a criminal record and entered the U.S. under the Biden
administration, according to officials.
Twenty-five-year-old Jose Medina, a Venezuelan national, was arrested on Friday after he allegedly killed Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old Loyola University Chicago student in a shooting. A police source earlier told
Fox News that the Thursday shooting was an apparent ambush, adding that
the suspect was reportedly wearing some kind of face mask or covering.
He was arrested in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood, close to where
the shooting took place.
Medina was expected in court on Monday afternoon, but the hearing was postponed since he's still hospitalized. Chicago police sources said he
was being quarantined for something that's suspected to be contagious, possibly Tuberculosis.
When Gorman, who was a freshman from Westchester County, New York, tried
to flee while she was with a group of friends, the gunman shot her, according to officials. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Medina, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, was apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol on May 9, 2023, and was released into the U.S. under the
Biden administration, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Following an arrest for shoplifting in Chicago, Medina was released on
June 19, 2023, DHS said.
He was charged with first-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder, three felony counts of aggravated assault with discharge of firearm and aggravated unlawful possession of a weapon, according to the Chicago
Police Department.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement lodged an arrest detainer
against Medina following the alleged murder.

and released before the alleged murder, DHS confirmed. (DHS)
"We are calling on Governor Pritzker and ChicagorCOs sanctuary politicians to commit to not releasing this criminal illegal alien from jail back
into American neighborhoods," DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said.
In a new statement to Fox News, Gorman's family said their daughter's
death was a result of systemic failure within the immigration system.

"We are gravely disappointed by the policies and failures that allowed
this individual to remain in a position to commit this crime. When
systems failrCowhether through release decisions, lack of coordination, or unwillingness to actrCothe consequences are not abstract. They are real.
And in our case, they are permanent," the family said. "This case must
be prosecuted to the fullest extent of both state and federal law. There
can be no gaps, no shortcuts, and no second chances that put others at
risk. Accountability must be complete."
In October, Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker posted a satirical
video from the streets of Chicago while he was wearing a bullet-proof
vest, trying to make a point about how safe the city is.
Alderwoman Maria Hadden told Fox 32 Chicago that Gorman's death seemed
to be a case of "wrong place at the wrong time."
"The kids were out doing normal things people do in the neighborhood,"
she said. "They may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time,
running into a person who had a gun."
