A 22-year-old man is being held without bail after he was charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of a Jackson woman who has deep roots in that small community.Brandon Mitchell waived a court appearance Monday. He's accused of shooting Esmae Doucette, 23, on Wednesday at the Dana Place apartments in Jackson. She died two days later.Police said Mitchell and Doucette were domestic partners.In a social media post, Doucette was described by family as a "radiant daughter and sister," a young woman full of warmth and generosity and an enthusiastic zest for life. "It's incredibly sad, and because it's a small community, we all know the family involved," said Jean Mason, of Jackson.Counselors from Starting Point, which provides services for victims of domestic and sexual violence, were set to be on hand Monday night at the town's Whitney Community Center to help family and friends process what happened."There's a lot of angst, a lot of wondering, 'Why?' that can never truly be answered for people," said Raetha Stoddard, of Starting Point.Counselors said people in the community will be struggling with many questions."Not just why this happened, but how do you explain this to your children when they're going to school with another child that's lost a sibling?" said Deb Weinstein, Starting Point executive directors. "It's multi layers, and how, as a parent, do you deal with that."The shooting brought up memories of two other killings decades ago."I lived in town maybe 40 years ago when there was a murder at the same location," resident Bob Gearheart said.The bodies of Malcolm and Elizabeth Jennings, the proprietors of what was then the Dana Place Inn, were found in their burning home in January 1985. Police determined they had been stabbed repeatedly before the house was set on fire."And we can't help but think back to when the Jennings' lives were taken," Mason said.Mitchell was initially charged with first-degree domestic assault, but the charges were upgraded to second-degree murder when Doucette died. Court documents in the case have been sealed.If you or anyone you know is impacted by domestic or sexual violence, they can call New Hampshire's 24/7 statewide helpline at 1-866-644-3574.
