Two young women killed over the weekend in what authorities are saying was a double murder-suicide in Florida were recent graduates of New England College in Henniker, N.H.

Meghan Moore, 25, and Sidney Capolino, 23, were identified Monday by the Miami-Dade Police Department as the victims of the Saturday shooting, The Boston Globe reports.

According to CBS News Miami, Miami-Dade police responded to reports of shots fired near the 7000 block of Southwest 40th Street around 8:53 p.m. on Saturday. At the scene, the officers found a woman outside an apartment suffering from an apparent gunshot wound, and while assisting her, officers heard another gunshot from inside the apartment, prompting an evacuation of the complex.

A special response team for the department arrived and entered the apartment, where they found another woman suffering from a gunshot wound and a man with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, CBS News reports. All three people died at the scene.

Police said Moore and Capolino were residents of the apartment, according to NECN. Moore was found outside the apartment, while Capolino was found inside with Luis Napoles, 40. Napoles and Moore had been dating, according to the station.
