Suspect Jose Medina-Medina was released from custody twice before the fatal shooting of the Loyola freshman
The grieving mother of slain Loyola student Sheridan Gorman slammed “galling” claims from a Chicago official that her daughter was in the “wrong place at the wrong time” when authorities say she was shot and killed by an illegal migrant as the family spoke out in an emotional interview Thursday on “The Story.”
“Someone said, ‘wrong place, wrong time,’ the alderwoman, and actually, suggested that she might have startled this man, and that just, it flays me.” Jess Gorman, Sheridan’s mother, told anchor Martha MacCallum. “It just lays my heart wide open. My daughter was not in the wrong place at the wrong time—this man was.”
Chicago Alderwoman Maria Hadden would apologize for those comments, saying “conservative media” misconstrued remarks she said were comparing Gorman’s death to a separate case. But that brought little solace to the Gorman family.
