المصدر: Fox News | Source: Fox NewsA Venezuelan migrant charged in the March killing of Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman appeared in court on Wednesday, where a judge ordered him to provide a DNA sample and approved requests tied to his medical treatment ahead of trial.
Illegal immigrant Jose Medina-Medina, 25, is accused of fatally shooting Gorman, 18, at a Rogers Park pier March 19.
He limped into court on Wednesday after federal prosecutors earlier this month charged Medina-Medina with illegally possessing a firearm, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
In addition to the federal charge, he faces state-level charges including murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault and illegal possession of a weapon.
On the murder charge, the state requested that the court order the defendant to submit a DNA sample to state police. The public defender objected, but the judge granted the motion.
The public defender also requested a trial and submitted a healthcare order noting a bullet fragment lodged in Medina-Medina’s nasal cavity.
They asked that his medical records be collected from multiple hospitals where he has received treatment, though no specific facilities were identified.
The state did not object, and the judge granted the healthcare orders.
Fox News Digital previously reported Medina-Medina was apprehended at the southern border in 2023, flagged as a flight risk, and had no valid asylum claim before being released into the U.S. in 2023 under the Biden administration.
Records indicate he did not have a valid U.S. address or identification and was unable to provide a verifiable point of contact.
His arraignment is scheduled for April 29.
