Judge orders migrant accused of killing Loyola student to submit DNA sample

Fox News reports that a judge ordered Jose Medina-Medina, a Venezuelan migrant accused of fatally shooting 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman on March 19, to submit a DNA sample at a Wednesday court hearing. The article provides factual procedural details—the DNA order, healthcare records request, and upcoming April 29 arraignment—sourced from court proceedings, and includes named byline journalist Alexandra Koch with documented reporting experience. The reporting is corroborated by independent coverage from Fox News and The College Fix documenting Medina-Medina's background (flagged as flight risk in 2023, no valid asylum claim) and adds context about his federal firearm charge and multiple state charges including murder and attempted murder. Readers should monitor the April 29 arraignment and trial proceedings, which will address both federal and state charges; the case involves significant public interest given the victim's age and circumstances of her death.
