The identities of two women who were brutally murdered in Miami over the weekend by a man who would end up turning the gun of himself have been revealed as college teammates.
The victims were identified as former New England College hockey players Meghan Moore and Sidney Capolino. Miami-Dade Police say Luis Napoles, 40, shot Moore outside her apartment and then went inside and shot Capolino.
He then shot and killed himself.
Police said it appears Napoles and Moore were dating and all three lived together, WFOR-TV reported. A motive for the killings was not immediately available.
The New England College athletic department released a statement Tuesday saying, "We are heartbroken by the tragic events this weekend that took the lives of Sidney Capolino '22 and Meghan Moore '21."
"We feel tremendously fortunate to have had these two young women in Henniker representing the Pilgrims. Please join us in honoring and remembering both Meg and Sid."
NEC President Dr. Wayne F. Lesperance, Jr. also issued a statement.
“We are deeply saddened by this devastating news. We are keeping Sidney and Meghan’s families and friends in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time," he stated.
Counseling services were being made available for students in need of support.
