A illegal immigrant from Venezuela<\/u><\/a> charged in the March killing of Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman was caught with a weapon while in custody, police said.<\/p>\n

The Cook County Sheriff’s Office said Cook County Jail staff found a 6-inch shank in Jose Medina’s possession around 8 a.m. Thursday.<\/p>\n

Correctional officers searched the 26-year-old and recovered a sharpened piece of metal with a handle fashioned out of medical tape from his pants pocket, the sheriff’s office said.<\/p>\n

The Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office approved a new felony charge of possession of contraband in a penal institution against Medina on Friday.<\/p>\n

Medina has been in custody since March 23. He is charged with shooting 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman to death at Tobey Prinz Beach in Rogers Park on March 19.<\/p>\n

Gorman was with friends at a Rogers Park pier when she looked around a lighthouse and saw Medina nearby.<\/p>\n

She walked back toward her friends and mouthed, “There\u2019s a man behind the lighthouse,” prosecutors said. Medina then allegedly began chasing them.<\/p>\n

As Gorman and her friends ran away, Medina shot her in the upper back, according to prosecutors. Her friends kept running until they found a place to hide. When they returned to check on Gorman, she was unresponsive.<\/p>\n

An arrest report obtained by Fox News Digital states that Medina was seen on video after the shooting in the lobby of his apartment building, waiting for an elevator without a mask. A building engineer told police he recognized the suspect, who had a “very distinct limp and gait.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital previously reported that Medina was apprehended at the southern border in 2023, flagged as a flight risk and determined to have no valid asylum claim before being released into the U.S. that year under the Biden administration.<\/p>\n

Records indicate he did not have a valid U.S. address or identification and could not provide a verifiable point of contact.<\/p>\n
