From the New York Post: A 25-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the death of a Loyola University Chicago student shot near campus Thursday by a masked gunman, the Chicago Tribune reported.
The Tribune said it had obtained the arrest report and was not naming the suspect, who sources tell Fox News is a migrant from Venezuela.
Sheridan Gorman, 18, of Westchester County, New York, was gunned down while taking a walk with friends shortly after 1:30 a.m. Thursday along Chicago’s lakefront.
The gunman allegedly approached the group, pulled out a gun, and opened fire — striking Gorman in the head, according to the Chicago Police Department.
Gorman was pronounced dead at the scene.
The identity of the illegal alien who allegedly shot her has still not been released. He was caught on surveillance camera near the scene, and then seen on surveillance footage entering a nearby apartment building, without his mask. Police were able to identify him, in part, because of his distinctive limp.
The Chicago Tribune said the suspect is not being named “because he has not yet been charged” in the case. However, the outlet said he was busted for shoplifting at Macy’s in June 2023.
