In the Roseland neighborhood, a 15-year-old girl and a 24-year-old man, were found shot at about 12:32 a.m. in the 200-block of West 109th Place in West Roseland.
Fr. Michael Pfleger confirmed Terri Player was a student at Saint Sabina and was in the car with her brother, Terry Player.
They were sitting in a black SUV, and when police arrived, they found them shot multiple times, police said. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.
The teen had graduated from St. Sabina in 2022.
The principal said Player was always a leader, and had such a bright future ahead of her.
"She was a natural-born leader. She was loved by her classmates; she had a bright future ahead of her," Principal Tiffany Brown said. "We share the grief this family is feeling right now, and this has just shocked our community."
Brown said Player's mother moved her to Texas after graduating from the academy, in hopes of avoiding this exact violence.
It's not clear what brought her back to the city.
Pfleger reflected on Player's loss Wednesday, and said it's getting too difficult to raise children in Chicago.
"If I had a son that's 14, 15, 16, 17 right now, I'd move, I'd move. Our children are vulnerable," he said.

Pfleger said this violence will only get worse unless city leaders implement real change ahead of summer.
"We should be talking in every one of the South and West Side police districts, communities, talking with parents and young people: What can we do better? Listening, learning from them, what can we do better?" he said.
Saint Sabina academy has already sent in crisis counselors for students or faculty who may have known Terri player.
