Suspect Charged in Deadly Shooting at Nashua Country Club Wedding

Prosecutors charged 23-year-old Hunter Nadeau with second-degree murder, with motive still under investigation.

Overview

  • Authorities identified the man killed as 59-year-old Robert Steven DeCesare and said two other adults were shot, while several guests suffered non-gunshot injuries during the chaotic evacuation.
  • Police said video surveillance confirmed there was a single shooter who was detained at the scene, correcting early reports that suggested two suspects.
  • Officials said there is no known connection between Nadeau and DeCesare, and additional charges are likely related to the wounded victims.
  • Nadeau is expected to be arraigned Monday in the 9th Circuit Court in Nashua as investigators continue interviews and review evidence from the venue.
  • Witnesses reported the shooter shouted phrases including 'Free Palestine,' which investigators acknowledged without tying to a motive; authorities emphasized there is no evidence of a hate crime at this time.
