The family of an 18-year-old Loyola University Chicago student Sheridan Gorman who was killed while she walked with friends not far from campus is demanding answers as law enforcement continues to investigate the incident.
“Our beloved daughter, Sheridan, was taken from us this morning in Chicago. There is no way to soften this—this was murder,” her family said in a statement sent to NBC Chicago by their attorney. “Sheridan was the light of our lives. She made people feel seen, safe, and loved simply by being who she was. She lived her faith with kindness, compassion, and joy, and she loved her family and friends deeply.”
Gorman was a freshman at Loyola University Chicago. Droves of students attended a vigil Thursday evening to honor her life.
Gorman was killed around 2:11 a.m. when she was talking outside near Tobey Prinz Beach on the 1000 block of West Pratt Avenue with a group of friends when an unknown man wearing a face covering approached them, pulled out a gun and opened fire in the group’s direction, authorities said. Gorman was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene.
“We trusted that she would be safe. That trust was broken. Someone made a deliberate choice that stole our daughter and forever changed our family. We are demanding answers, and we will not stop until the person responsible is identified and brought to justice,” the Gorman family said in the statement. “We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of support from the various communities connected to our family. It has carried us through moments we could not endure alone. We take comfort in our faith, but nothing can lessen the devastation of this loss. If you know anything, please come forward. We ask for privacy as we grieve.
