Investigators say Medina, dressed in all black with a mask, then pulled out a gun and shot into the group. Gorman was shot in the neck and died from her injuries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Department of Homeland Security says Medina is an undocumented immigrant from Venezuela. DHS says he entered the country illegally in 2023 and was arrested for shoplifting in Chicago that year.<\/p>\n
