Miami, Florida – Two recent graduates of New England College in Henniker, New Hampshire, were tragically killed over the weekend in what authorities are calling a double murder-suicide.
The victims, Meghan Moore, 25, and Sidney Capolino, 23, were identified by the Miami-Dade Police Department as the individuals involved in the shooting incident on Saturday evening. According to reports, police responded to gunfire near the 7000 block of Southwest 40th Street and discovered one woman outside the apartment with a gunshot wound. Shortly after, another gunshot was heard from inside the apartment, leading to a swift evacuation of the complex.
Upon entering the apartment, law enforcement found another woman with a gunshot wound and a man who had apparently taken his own life. All three individuals succumbed to their injuries at the scene. It was revealed that Moore and Capolino were residents of the apartment where the tragic event unfolded.
Moore, originally from Centerville, Massachusetts, and Capolino, from Pawling, New York, were both members of the college’s women’s ice hockey team. Moore graduated in 2021, while Capolino graduated in 2022, leaving the college community deeply saddened by the loss of two individuals who were well-known on campus.
In a heartfelt letter to the school community, New England College President Wayne F. Lesperance Jr. expressed the institution’s grief over Capolino and Moore’s untimely deaths. With the college currently on spring break, students were encouraged to seek support from the school’s wellness center if needed.
Despite the devastating news, the college stands in solidarity with the families and friends of the deceased, offering thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. The shocking tragedy has left both the local community and the college reeling from the loss of two promising young individuals.
