00:05has been arrested for the execution-style murder of 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman.
00:10Gorman was gunned down in cold blood while walking with friends near the campus

00:19Gorman from behind and fired a single shot to her head, killing the college freshman.

00:28track him back to an apartment building where internal cameras there captured his face.

00:58in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is the loss of a daughter, the loss of a sister,
01:03the loss of a future filled with milestones that will now never come.
