A GoFundMe has been launched to honor Loyola college student Sheridan Gorman, who was murdered by 25-year-old Venezuelan migrant Jose Medina-Medina.
The 18-year-old college freshman was shot dead last Thursday when she and a group of friends walked to the pier at Tobey Prinz Beach to see the Northern Lights, the family's attorney said.
The fundraiser said that the young woman's loss is 'unimaginable,' and that her 'family is shattered, especially her beloved sister Maddie, who is navigating a heartbreak no one should ever have to carry.'
At the time of writing this article, $148,630 had been raised of the $180K goal.
Chicago police soon arrested Medina-Medina on charges, including a first-degree murder charge, after utilizing facial recognition software to compare images from surveillance footage to U.S. Customs and Border Protection records.
