Two Hispanic men convicted of killing two people during a shootout at a Boston restaurant, including a chef who was an unintended victim, face sentencing

Emmanuel Pina and Sandro Tavares are scheduled to be sentenced in Suffolk Superior Court. Both face a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. The Latinos were convicted of two counts of murder for their roles in the August 2009 shooting outside Ka'Carlos Bar and Grill in Dorchester. The shooting stemmed from a confrontation earlier inside. Prosecutors say that outside, Pina shot at Jovany Eason, but the bullet missed and went through the restaurant's window. It struck 47-year-old chef Manuel Monteiro in the chest, killing him. Authorities say that Pina kept firing at Eason, striking him several times.
