In the early hours of August 29, 2024, 37-year-old Brittany Ann Weston was found dead inside her apartment on Monadnock Street in Troy, New Hampshire. Her husband, Trent Weston, placed a 911 call around 3:00 a.m. reporting that he had shot his wife. Officers found Brittany with multiple gunshot wounds to the head; an autopsy ruled her death a homicide.

The case then moved about 100 miles to the I-95 Piscataqua River Bridge between New Hampshire and Maine. Law enforcement located Trent Weston on the bridge and a prolonged standoff followed. He was fatally shot by police after reportedly raising a weapon; his body fell into the river and was recovered. Inside Trent Weston’s vehicle on the bridge, authorities found the body of the couple’s 8-year-old son, Benson Weston. The child’s autopsy also showed multiple gunshot wounds and ruled his death a homicide.

The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office concluded Trent Weston was responsible for the killings, finding he shot his wife in the Troy apartment before taking his son to the bridge. The officer-involved shooting that killed Trent Weston is under separate review by the Maine Attorney General’s Office. If anyone knew the Westons or has information about what happened in Troy or on the bridge, please come forward.
