In a devastating incident, two former college hockey teammates were tragically killed in their Miami apartment on Saturday. The incident occurred when 40-year-old Luis Napoles reportedly shot his girlfriend, 25-year-old Meghan Moore, and her roommate, 23-year-old Sidney Capolino, before turning the gun on himself.
According to the Miami-Dade Police, the authorities were alerted when they found Moore outside the apartment with a gunshot wound. As they attempted to save her, they heard gunshots emanating from inside the residence. Upon entering the apartment, they discovered that Napoles, Moore, and Capolino had all succumbed to their injuries.
The motive behind the killings remains unknown as the police have not yet released any information on the possible reasons behind the incident. All three individuals shared a living arrangement at the Windsor Ludlam Trail Apartments, local reports suggest. Friends of Moore revealed that she and Napoles had a troubled relationship, indicating that there were underlying issues.
Meghan Moore, originally from Centerville, Massachusetts, and Sidney Capolino, from Pawling, New York, were successful student athletes during their time at New England College. Moore, who graduated in 2021, played as a forward for the NCAA Division III team, while Capolino defended the team's goalpost for four seasons, graduating in 2022.
New England College expressed deep sadness over the loss, with school president Dr. Wayne F. Lesperance Jr. offering condolences to the families and friends of Sidney and Meghan. Capolino had recently obtained her registered nurse certification in Florida, highlighting her aspirations outside of hockey. Meanwhile, Moore pursued criminal justice studies during her time at the college.
Those who knew Meghan Moore have described her as a shining personality and an exceptional hockey player. Tara Rooney, her former college teammate, expressed her profound grief, saying that Moore's death would forever change her life. She described Moore as the funniest person she had ever known and emphasized the impact Moore had on her and others around her.
Moore's mother, Marybeth, spoke fondly of her daughter, highlighting her talent on the ice and her infectious smile that endeared her to everyone. Marybeth expressed the immense grief both families now share, stating that their lives will never be the same again.
Caroline Spalt, another close friend, disputed the police assertion that Napoles was Moore's boyfriend. Spalt firmly stated that they were not in a romantic relationship, clarifying that she spoke to Moore regularly and had knowledge of her personal life. She mentioned that Moore and Napoles were acquainted through Moore's previous job.
As the investigation into the tragic incident continues, the community mourns the loss of two beloved individuals who were cherished among friends and family. The loss of Meghan Moore and Sidney Capolino leaves a void in the hearts of those who knew them, with their legacy as talented athletes and vibrant personalities forever etched in their memories.
