Tragedy Strikes as Two College Hockey Teammates Killed in Miami Apartment
In a devastating incident that has shocked the community, two former college hockey teammates were tragically killed in their Miami apartment. The suspect, identified as 40-year-old Luis Napoles, turned the gun on himself after gunning down his girlfriend, 25-year-old Meghan Moore, and her roommate, 23-year-old Sidney Capolino.
According to reports from the Miami-Dade Police, officers arrived at the scene to find Moore outside the apartment with a gunshot wound. As they attempted to save her, they heard additional shots from inside the residence. All three individuals were pronounced dead at the scene.
While the motive behind the killings has not yet been released by authorities, friends and acquaintances have expressed shock and disbelief. One friend mentioned that there were signs of issues in Moore and Napoles’ relationship, but no one expected it to escalate to this level of violence. The entire community is left reeling from this senseless act.
Meghan Moore and Sidney Capolino were both accomplished athletes and beloved members of their college community. Moore, originally from Centerville, Massachusetts, spent three years as a forward on New England College’s NCAA Division III ice hockey team and graduated in 2021 with a degree in criminal justice. Capolino, hailing from Pawling, New York, played defense on the team for four seasons and graduated in 2022.
The president of New England College, Dr. Wayne F. Lesperance Jr., expressed his condolences, stating, “Meghan and Sidney were known to many on campus, and 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.”
The loss of these young lives has reverberated through their families and friends. Tara Rooney, Moore’s former college teammate, fondly remembered her as the funniest person she had ever met. Moore’s mother, Marybeth, spoke of her daughter’s passion for hockey and the joy she brought to those around her.
As the investigation continues, friends of Moore have disputed claims that Napoles was her boyfriend, asserting that they were not in a romantic relationship. They believe Moore and Napoles knew each other from Moore’s previous job, contradicting the narrative presented by the police.
Both families are currently working to transport the bodies of their loved ones back to their respective hometowns for funeral arrangements. The entire community mourns the loss of these two bright individuals whose lives were tragically cut short. May they rest in peace.
