The illegal immigrant accused of gunning down 18-year-old Loyola University freshman Sheridan Gorman appeared in court Monday from a hospital bed after suffering a reported seizure, according to his defense attorney.
Jose Medina-Medina, a Venezuelan national charged with Gorman's murder, did not appear in person for a hearing before a Cook County judge. Instead, he joined the proceedings remotely via Zoom from a local hospital, where his attorney said he was admitted after experiencing a seizure over the weekend.
The judge ordered Medina to appear in person at his next court hearing if he is physically able.
Defense attorneys have repeatedly argued that Medina has suffered seizures and other health issues stemming from a 2018 shooting in Colombia, where they say he was shot in the head.

On Monday, Medina's attorney told the judge the defense is still waiting for additional information about his medical condition before deciding which pretrial motions it may file.
Meanwhile, prosecutors said the murder case continues to progress.
They told the court they have turned over several additional pieces of evidence to the defense, including most of the DNA testing completed on the firearm recovered at the scene. Trace evidence testing is still underway, and prosecutors said they may request additional DNA analysis depending on those results.

Prosecutors also said they've turned over more evidence in the separate case accusing Medina of possessing a homemade shank while in custody. They are still waiting for subpoenaed body-camera video and hospital surveillance video to be added to the case.
The case was continued until Sept. 3 for another status hearing.
Sheridan Gorman's family did not attend Monday's hearing.
