Gunman who killed 9-year-old girl after she had just purchased ice cream on a summer evening in Chicago learns his fate
A gunman who killed a 9-year-old girl after she had just purchased ice cream on a summer evening in Chicago three years ago has learned his fate.
Serabi Medina was outside her family’s apartment building in the 3500 block of North Long Avenue on a Saturday evening in August 2023 while her father talked with friends, CWB Chicago reported.
'That's been what's keeping me going, getting her justice.'
One of the friends gave Serabi money to buy treats from an ice cream truck, and she returned with ice cream for herself and her father, the outlet said.
A few minutes later, a gunshot rang out nearby, prompting Serabi’s father to tell her to take her scooter and go inside, the outlet said, citing prosecutors.
But as Serabi reached the front door, Michael Goodman came out of his apartment building across the street with a gun, walked up to Serabi, and shot her in the head as her father ran toward him, the outlet said, citing prosecutors.
Serabi’s father tackled Goodman in the vestibule of the Medina family’s apartment building, which caused the gun to discharge — and the bullet struck Goodman in the eye, CWB Chicago said.
The father and all three friends who witnessed the shooting identified Goodman as the gunman, the outlet added.
Chicago police recovered one shell casing outside the front door of Serabi’s apartment building and another casing jammed inside a gun found on the vestibule floor, the outlet said.
Investigators who searched Goodman’s apartment found a bullet lodged in a wall, a shell casing, and a box of ammunition with the same headstamp as the casings recovered at the murder scene, CWB Chicago said, citing prosecutors.
Police also found evidence linking Goodman to the murder weapon, the outlet said.
Goodman had no prior criminal record, CWB Chicago said, adding that his attorney said he was suffering from mental health disorders and was under the influence of ketamine at the time of the shooting.
Goodman was sentenced Thursday to 40 years in prison, the outlet said, adding that he must serve the entire sentence Judge Tyria Walton imposed after he pleaded guilty to one count of murder.
He will receive credit for the three years he has spent in the Cook County Jail, CWB Chicago said.
Jail records accessed Friday indicate Goodman is 46 years old.
"That's been what's keeping me going, getting her justice," the victim's cousin told WFLD-TV outside the courtroom before adding that "now all that's left is to grieve her."

Politico called Trump in the middle of a live broadcast — and he picked up
The president of the United States is not expected to be accessible to whomever feels like reaching out to him, but on election night, that all changed.
Following the midterm results, Politico reporter Dasha Burns decided to call Donald Trump in the middle of a live broadcast — which BlazeTV host Pat Gray notes is “illegal.”
“This is illegal, by the way,” Gray says. “Technically what she’s doing is illegal. You can’t just put somebody on the air live. You can’t do that without getting their permission first. You must obtain their permission first.”
“Which leads me to believe that they already had it,” Jeff Fisher comments.
“I don’t think so. This unfolds in kind of a natural way,” Gray argues, before playing the clip of Burns speaking to the president.
When Burns asked Trump what he thought happened with the Republican Party, the president responded, “I wasn’t on the ballot, and we didn’t get the people out, but I wasn’t on the ballot. If I was on the ballot, we would have won. We would have won it all very easily.”
Burns also pressed Trump on whether or not he believed some Republican candidates didn’t do enough to win, and Trump surprisingly answered that he didn’t “want to blame anybody.”
“It was a very interesting period of time. I watched with great interest, learned from it,” Trump said.
“What did you learn sir?” Burns asked.
“Well, we’re going to work with the Democrats to make sure things go well for our country. Very important. They’ve already called, and they want to work with me. I have the right to veto everything, but I don’t want to be just sitting there for two years vetoing everything. They want to see things happen too,” Trump replied.
Burns then asked if Trump would “consider doing an immigration deal with Democrats,” to which he replied, “I would consider doing whatever I think is appropriate and good for the country.”
Finally, she asked him how much he believes the results change “the trajectory of the final two years” of the Trump administration.
“I’ll let you know in a year from now,” he said.
“That shows you, and he gets no credit for it, how accessible Donald Trump is,” Gray comments.
“They hate him for it,” Fisher adds.
