> Hunter Nadeau, 23, **a former employee of the club** , was arrested and charged with second-degree murder in DeCesare’s death, authorities said Sunday.

A suspect has been charged with second-degree murder. So perhaps it was just previous employment issues at the club. ---

I used to live in Nashua, and I have lots of friends still there. A few were close enough to have to deal with the police activity and sheltered in place for a bit. ---

This one definitely sounds like it was targeted. ---

But it sounds like the guy who was killed was not the target. An employee was also seriously shot so I wonder if that was the actual target. Also, the fact that this happened in the club seems significant. If the shooter had a grudge against another employee, why not wait until they’re leaving work and shoot them then? Why make it a spectacle?
