Critic slams Chicago's 'revolving door' as Loyola student killing sparks outrage

As the suspect in the killing of Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman faces charges, scrutiny is growing over the policies her family said left the accused in a position to commit the crime. 

DHS also confirmed that Medina had been previously arrested for shoplifting in Chicago.

"Guess what? There are thousands of Jose Medinas that are in a revolving door that's going by, going around so fast... that I'm surprised that they're not flying out of the jail, because this is exactly the policies that got Sheridan Gorman killed," he said.

Simply walking near her campus was an ordinary act, they wrote, refusing to allow her murder "to be dismissed as 'wrong place, wrong time.' This was not random misfortune. This was a violent and preventable act."

Gorman's family demanded complete accountability, rejecting the idea of "second chances that put others at risk."

"When systems fail - whether through release decisions, lack of coordination, or unwillingness to act - the consequences are not abstract. They are real. And in our case, they are permanent."
