I don't know if it's Sheridan and four other girls.

I know it was Sheridan and four other friends.

Jose Medina is from Venezuela, and he first arrived in the US in the spring of 2023.

From there, we know he was briefly detained by border patrol, then released into the country, and he winds up in Chicago,

And just a few months after first entering the United States, Medina robs a Macy's store on State Street.

About $132 was the charge.

Well, wait a minute.

Shoplifting, correct.

He stole from a Macy's store.

Yes, so arrives in May 2023, September 2023, hit with that shoplifting charge for lifting items from a Macy's store, about $132 worth of merchandise stolen.

And Medina, of course, is released on bail and he never returns to court.

There was an active arrest warrant for Medina at the time of Sheridan's shooting.

Well, in conjunction with that facial recognition software, there was lots of surveillance footage that captured him before and after the shooting, and that footage tracked Medina all the way to his home.

That's where he took that ski mask off, where that facial recognition came into play.

So led him straight to where he lived, were able to recognize him off of previous ICE photos.

And when they went in for the arrest, both the gun, the clothing and the ski mask that was worn and used during the commission of the shooting was recovered from Medina's home.

Yes, that's absolutely correct.

They have footage all the way to the inside of the lobby of the building where he lives.

And that's where Medina stops, rips off the mask, and they got that image of his face to later compare for facial recognition.

There is a struggle.
