The 2009 Sabana Seca massacre, also referred to as La Masacre de La Tómbola, was an incident that occurred on October 17, 2009, in Puerto Rico related to drug trafficking. Eight people were killed by gunmen in a car, who shot randomly in a bar in the Sabana Seca barrio of Toa Baja, 15 miles from San Juan. Twenty people, some related to two different bands between drug dealers, were wounded in the shooting.[1] The two gunmen, Alexis Candelario-Santana, 42, and David Oquendo-Rivas, were convicted by a federal jury on March 8, 2013, and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.[2]
