ACTON, Mass. (WLNE) — A GoFundMe has been set up for the family of a teenager who died along with her stepfather in an apparent murder-suicide.

49-year-old Juliano Santana allegedly abducted his 16-year-old stepdaughter before killing her and turning the gun on himself.

Authorities said they found the Santana and the girl dead from apparent gunshot wounds in his vehicle.

“The whole community is shattered, and we are all struggling to cope with the overwhelming grief and trauma,” the fundraiser reads. “Christina was a bright, full of life 16-year old girl who was really good at science and dreamed of going to college one day. She had just started driving and was excited to take another step towards independence.”
