Nashua Country Club Shooting Suspect Makes First Court Appearance on Murder Charge

Investigators report no known link to the slain guest, with motive still under review.

Overview

  • Hunter Nadeau, 23, is charged with second-degree murder in the killing of Robert Steven DeCesare, 59, at Sky Meadow Country Club.
  • Nadeau waived arraignment in a brief video hearing and is due for a probable-cause hearing in early October.
  • Prosecutors anticipate additional charges tied to two other gunshot victims, including a club employee in critical but stable condition.
  • Authorities say a single shooter carried out the attack after surveillance dispelled initial reports of two assailants.
  • Officials say Nadeau previously worked at the club, and witnesses report patrons helped halt the shooting by striking the gunman with a chair.
