On December 30, 1987, a shooting spree tore through southern New Hampshire, claiming multiple lives and leaving several injured. Richard Proulx, 41, of Lawrence, Massachusetts, was shot and killed in a Nashua apartment during the rampage. The attacker, identified as 38-year-old Rafael Rodriguez, also killed 22-year-old Jesus Santos in Nashua and 49-year-old Nicarno Rodriquez at a warehouse in neighboring Londonderry, and wounded 32-year-old Julio Otero Rivera and 20-year-old Jose Soto.

Rodriguez was confronted by a police officer at a Nashua gas station and was fatally shot there, ending the attacks. Authorities investigated possible drug ties because of Rodriguez’s prior record, but searches of him and the crime scenes produced no drugs and no clear motive was established. The suspect’s death left many questions about why these people were targeted.

Did anyone in the Nashua or Lawrence area know Richard Proulx or have information about his movements that day?
