On the evening of September 29, 1993, police in Boston’s Hyde Park neighborhood responded after a two-year-old child told officers at an apartment door that Mommy was on the floor. Inside, officers found the bodies of 17-year-old Celine Kirk and her 23-year-old cousin Tracy Brown; both had been fatally shot.

Investigators focused on Celine’s 18-year-old ex-boyfriend, Craig Hood, after a cousin who had recently moved into the apartment, Sean Ellis, pointed to Hood. Hood was arrested on October 2, 1993, on outstanding warrants and the next day gave a detailed, audiotaped confession saying he shot Kirk during an argument, then shot Brown because he was afraid and did not want to go to prison, and shot Kirk again out of fear. On June 19, 1995, Hood pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder and received two consecutive life sentences.

Years later at a parole hearing Hood expressed remorse and apologized to the family but also denied committing the murders and blamed unnamed family members. Does anyone have memories of Celine or Tracy, or information that could shed light on their last day?
