Attorney General John M. Formella and Nashua Police Department Chief Kevin Rourke announced that law enforcement officials are investigating the homicide of an adult male in Nashua.
At a press conference on Sunday, Formella confirmed 23-year-old Hunter Nadeau allegedly shot and killed 59-year-old Robert DeCesare at Sky Meadow Country Club on Saturday night. Nadeau is also accused of shooting and wounding two other adults, and at least four people suffered non-gunshot wounds as they tried to flee the scene.
Nadeau was a former employee of the country club. When asked about Nadeau’s motive for the shooting, Formella said it’s still unclear.
“We’re in the early stages,” Formella said. “So depending on what we learn looking at the evidence, looking at the info, we may change our determination.”
Mayor Jim Donchess was present at a press conference Saturday night following the shooting and said that he was sad for the families involved: “The message is for every community, no matter how unlikely it seems, it can happen where you live.”
Nadeau is scheduled to be arraigned on Monday.
