The shooting took place Saturday about 8:53 p.m. at an apartment building on West 40th Street where Moore and Capolino lived, according to police. Officers found one woman, later identified as Moore, outside the apartment, and as they were trying to help her, they heard another gunshot from inside the apartment, prompting them to evacuate the building.

When a SWAT team entered the apartment, they found another two other people fatally shot, later identified as Capolino and Luis Napoles.

Police said that Napoles, 40, had been dating Moore and that Capolino was her roommate. Moore's family denies that she was in a romantic relationship with Napoles. Napoles had died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

It wasn't immediately clear what prompted the shooting.

Moore was originally from Centerville, Massachusetts, and Capolino from Pawling, New York, according to student-athlete biographies on the New England College website. Both played for the women's ice hockey team.

Neighbors told NBC South Florida they were shocked by the deadly shooting.
