A Sit Down With Sheridan Gorman’s Family

In March 2026, Loyola University freshman Sheridan Gorman was shot and killed by an unvetted migrant in Chicago. Her family believes this tragedy was entirely preventable and stems from the failure of sanctuary city policies.

Martha sat down with the Gorman family to discuss how they are coping just seven weeks after the loss of their vibrant 18-year-old daughter. Thomas, Jessica, and Madelon Gorman share memories of Sheridan’s life and discuss their fight for justice, urging leaders to reevaluate policies to ensure no other family has to endure such an unbearable loss.
