<p>Illinois Democratic Governor JB Pritzker is getting hammered after posting a video promoting walking in Chicago, days after an 18-year-old woman was allegedly fatally shot by an illegal immigrant while out for a walk.</p>
<p>Sheridan Gorman, a Loyola University freshman, was killed March 19 while walking with friends, according to reports. Authorities say a 25-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rare-reason-keeps-illegal-alien-suspect-in-loyola-student-slaying-from-facing-court?author=Jennie+Taer&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Rare+Reason+Keeps+Illegal+Alien+Suspect+In+Loyola+Student+Slaying+From+Facing+Court">Venezuelan national</a> who was in the United States unlawfully approached her and shot her as she tried to run away.</p>
<p>The suspect, Jose Medina-Medina, crossed the southern border illegally in May 2023 and was later released into the United States. He then turned up in Chicago, where he was accused of shoplifting from a Macy’s weeks later, <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/2026/03/21/loyola-chicago-shooting-suspect/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the Chicago Tribune. He never showed up for his court date, resulting in a warrant for his arrest, the outlet reported.</p>
<p>Days after Gorman&#8217;s killing, Pritzker posted a video promoting &#8220;National Walking Day,&#8221; describing the sanctuary state of Illinois as &#8220;the best place to walk.&#8221;</p>
<p>And the governor walked into an onslaught of criticism.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Happy National Walking Day, Illinois. <a href="https://t.co/AsasLKDIT3">pic.twitter.com/AsasLKDIT3</a></p>
<p>— Governor JB Pritzker (@GovPritzker) <a href="https://twitter.com/GovPritzker/status/2039466997927264323?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 1, 2026</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Fox News correspondent Matt Finn <a href="https://x.com/MattFinnFNC/status/2039657104890376558">quipped</a>, &#8220;Wasn&#8217;t an innocent young 18-yo college girl senselessly murdered while out for a walk in Chicago? Happy walking, Illinois.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;CRAZY how most people who go out walking in a sanctuary city end up running,&#8221; Fox News Radio host Jimmy Failla wrote in the comments section.</p>
<p>Gorman&#8217;s family has criticized Pritzker&#8217;s response to the tragic slaying. Four days after the killing, Pritzker&#8217;s office released a statement on the &#8220;senseless murder.&#8221;</p>
<p>“Our thoughts are with the family, friends, and Loyola University community grieving the senseless murder of Sheridan Gorman,&#8221; Pritzker&#8217;s office told The Daily Wire. &#8220;Violent crime has no place in our streets, and we expect the alleged perpetrator to be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pritzker&#8217;s office placed blame on &#8220;the Trump administration,&#8221; saying it needs &#8220;to stop politicizing heinous tragedies and instead focus on real solutions, like reinstating federal funds to prevent violence that support our public safety efforts.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a social media <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GovPritzker/posts/sheridan-gormans-murder-is-a-tragedy-and-the-person-responsible-must-be-held-acc/1488447859304935/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a>, Pritzker called Gorman&#8217;s killing &#8220;a tragedy,&#8221; adding that &#8220;the person responsible must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gorman&#8217;s family <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/gorman-family-calls-out-johnson-pritzker-following-college-students-killing-chicago">pushed back</a> on the governor&#8217;s response, saying her “death cannot be reduced to a general ‘tragedy,’ nor can it be explained away by broad references to failures somewhere else.&#8221;</p>
<p>“We are not interested in political arguments or in watching responsibility shift from one place to another,&#8221; the family continued. &#8220;If there were failures — as the Governor himself has acknowledged—then every one of them must be identified, examined, and addressed directly. The location of those failures matters less than the willingness to confront them honestly.”</p>
<p>“Our daughter is not a policy debate. She is a life that was taken, and that demands accountability,” they added.</p>
