Jose Medina, charged with first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of Loyola University Chicago student Sheridan Gorman, missed his initial court appearance Monday due to hospitalization for tuberculosis treatment, prosecutors said.

Medina faces multiple charges in connection with Gorman's death, including first-degree murder. The Department of Homeland Security has identified Medina as a Venezuelan national living in the United States illegally.

Chicago police reportedly used surveillance footage to help identify Medina as a suspect in the case. According to law enforcement sources, investigators were able to identify distinctive characteristics captured on camera during their investigation.

Medina remains hospitalized while undergoing treatment for tuberculosis, preventing his appearance in court for the scheduled hearing. Court proceedings are expected to resume once he is medically cleared to appear.

The case involves the shooting death of Gorman, a student at Loyola University Chicago. Additional details about the circumstances surrounding the incident have not been released by authorities as the investigation continues.
