MANCHESTER, N.H. — Two adults identified as Bianchinies Cruz and Alisha Marie, also known as “Limber Alii Cruz,” were found dead from apparent gunshot wounds inside a Manchester home on Tuesday morning, October 27, 2026. An 8-year-old boy was also found suffering from a gunshot wound and remains hospitalized in stable condition, according to New Hampshire authorities.
The Manchester Police Department responded to a home at 59 Wheelock Street at approximately 9:34 a.m. Tuesday after receiving a request for a welfare check. The caller expressed concern about the well-being of the three people believed to be living at the residence: an adult man, an adult woman and their 8-year-old male child.
According to a joint announcement from New Hampshire Attorney General John M. Formella and Manchester Police Chief Peter A. Meyer, officers entered the home and found both adults deceased. The child was alive but had sustained a gunshot wound to his torso.
Emergency responders transported the injured boy to a regional trauma center, where he was reported to be in stable condition and receiving medical treatment.
Authorities said the adult woman appeared to have sustained multiple gunshot wounds, while the adult man appeared to have suffered a single gunshot wound to the head. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.
The adults were identified in the information provided as Bianchinies Cruz and Alisha Marie, also known as Limber Alii Cruz. Authorities have not released further details about their relationship or the circumstances that preceded the shooting.
Detectives are investigating the incident as a potential murder-suicide, according to the announcement from state and local authorities. This remains a preliminary investigative direction, and officials have not released a final determination regarding the circumstances or manner of the deaths.
Autopsies were scheduled for Wednesday, October 28, 2026, at the New Hampshire Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Concord. The examinations are expected to assist authorities in determining the official causes and manners of death.
Investigators have not publicly disclosed additional details about the firearm, the events leading up to the shooting or who may have fired the shots.
