Sheridan's friends called Tuesday's indictments another step toward justice for their friend.
"It's a lot to process and I'm not even beginning to be able to process it all yet," said Jennifer Nelson.
Nelson and others hope Sheridan's story is a warning to others experiencing domestic violence. Court records show before the murder, Goe had active warrants for domestic violence and criminal damage involving his girlfriend.
"I did tell her, my last conversation with her is you need to get away," said Sheridan's friend Holly Clapsaddle. "And she's like, I know, I know. I'm trying."
Clapsaddle said she didn't know how bad things were.
"I can't take it back," she said through tears. "I can't take it back."
Now, their their grief, the group is focused on getting justice for their friend.
"I personally am hoping that he takes responsibility and pleads guilty," said Clapsaddle. "I don't want to go to court and hear the horrific details."
