On March 13, 2024, 15-year-old Terri Player and her 24-year-old brother, Terry Player, were found shot to death inside a parked black SUV in the 200 block of West 109th Place in Roseland on Chicago’s South Side. Police responded to a ShotSpotter alert of about 18 rounds just after 12:30 a.m.; both victims had multiple gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene. Unconfirmed dispatch accounts say three people walked up to the vehicle and opened fire, shattering the passenger window and leaving at least four bullet holes in the door.

Terri was a 2022 graduate of St. Sabina Academy in Auburn Gresham. School leaders and Rev. Michael Pfleger described her as a natural-born leader with a bright future; Pfleger said her mother had moved her to Texas after graduation to avoid Chicago violence, and it was unclear why Terri had returned. Area 2 detectives are investigating; no arrests have been announced and a nonworking city camera in the area that night has been noted as a potential hindrance. If anyone knew Terri or saw activity near West 109th Place that night, please share information with investigators.
