On March 19, 2026, 18-year-old Loyola freshman Sheridan Gorman was walking with friends on the pier at Tobey Prinz Beach in Chicago’s Rogers Park.
Jose Medina, 25, a Venezuelan who entered the U.S. illegally in 2023 under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, was hiding behind the lighthouse, wearing all black and a mask. Gorman spotted him first, whispered to her friends, and the group ran.
Medina jumped out, brandished a gun, and fired one shot as they fled, striking Gorman in the upper back. The bullet exited through her neck. She collapsed on the pier, was found unresponsive and bleeding, and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Just 13 days later, on April 1 (National Walking Day), Pritzker posted a cheerful video promoting walking for exercise and calling Illinois a great place to walk, fully aware of the murder.
A young woman was just gunned down while walking in Chicago by a masked illegal alien, yet Pritzker still posted the video telling everyone what a great place Illinois is to walk. Because the people in his state are better than everyone else in America.
Posting the upbeat come walk in Illinois promo was intentional. It was a calculated decision to push a narrative over reality. And it was a huge lie. Illinois is not a great place to walk. It is a very dangerous place to walk because it is a sanctuary state and illegal alien criminals are everywhere.
Pritzker knew about the killing of an innocent college student walking on a public lakefront pier. Posting the upbeat come walk in Illinois promo soon after was beyond offensive.
What an evil man.
