“This is devastating to know something like this could happen to just a lovely person, it’s just devastating,” said one friend to CBS Baltimore who asked to remain anonymous.
Friends said Player was a dedicated member of the church and a longtime employee. She was loved by the community.
Mayor Brandon Scott is calling for the suspect to come forward.
“This is not okay,” he said. “None of us should be okay. Her family is four generations strong at Southern and all of our hearts should be with solving this unfathomed unthinkable cowardly act.”
Police are speaking with community members, checking out surveillance video and is asking anyone with information to come forward.
