President Donald Trump spoke with the family of Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old Loyola University student who was killed in Chicago, according to a White House official.

The conversation between Trump and Gorman's family was confirmed to Fox News by White House personnel. Gorman, who was a student at Loyola University Chicago, died in what authorities are investigating as a homicide.

Separately, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized what she characterized as insufficient media coverage of Gorman's death by major broadcast networks. Leavitt's comments appeared to be part of broader White House messaging about the case.

The circumstances surrounding Gorman's death and the ongoing investigation have not been detailed by authorities. The White House has not provided additional information about the content or timing of Trump's conversation with the victim's family.

The case has drawn attention from the Trump administration as part of discussions about crime and public safety in major American cities.
