Dear Loyola Community,
We want to share an important update as our community continues to grieve the death of Sheridan Gorman.
On Friday night, March 20, 2026, a suspect was brought in by the Chicago Police Department. On Sunday, March 22, 2026, that suspect was officially charged with the murder of Sheridan Gorman. As we hold Sheridan, her loved ones, and all those affected in our hearts, we are grateful for the diligent work of the Chicago Police Department.
To emphasize what President Reed said in his community message, Loyola is a community of support. Please continue to reach out and access the resources shared last week.
The safety, health, and well-being of our community are always our highest priorities. Please do not hesitate to reach out any time, for any reason.
