A man charged with murder in the deadly shooting of Loyola University Chicago first-year student Sheridan Gorman is facing a new felony charge after he was found with a weapon while in jail awaiting trial, authorities said. Cook County jail staff discovered Jose Medina, a 26-year-old Venezuelan immigrant, had a 6-inch shank in his pants pocket on Thursday morning when they searched him after learning he was in possession of a weapon, Cook County Sheriff's Office said. The shank was described as a "sharpened piece of metal with a handle fashioned out of medical tape," authorities said. A felony charge of possession of contraband in a penal institution was approved against Medina by the Cook County State's Attorney's Office on Friday. #sheridangorman #loyolauniversity #immigration #murder
