The female victim was taken to Allegheny General Hospital where she was pronounced dead. The male victim was deceased at the scene.
The victims have been identified as Gerald Harris, 19, and Isha Tyree, 20. Both are from West Mifflin.
"There were shots fired at the female as she was inside of the vehicle and there were also shots fired inside the home," said Sonya Toler, public information officer with Pittsburgh Public Safety.
A woman who lives on Divinity Street and wished to remain anonymous told KDKA's Lisa Washington, "I heard two gunshots and then it was silence for a few seconds and I heard someone screaming, 'no, no, no, no, no.' And then I heard six or seven more shots and then there was silence."
Police don't have a description of a suspect. The female victim was found inside a grey sedan parked on Divinity Street. The male victim was found in an abandoned home.
"Right now, it's too early in the investigation to determine if the shooter was ever inside the car," said Toler. "But, we do know the shots we were able to collect were fired while someone was standing outside of the vehicle."
Neighbors says the home where the man was found had been vacant for at least two years. They said this wasn't the first time there's been a shooting there.
