Annette Medina was 17 when she was killed in the Bronx on the night of February 14, 1993. She was in an apartment on Prospect Avenue when a group of armed men entered the building through a broken door targeting a man named Edwin Santiago over a drug-related dispute. The attack engulfed everyone present.

Annette was one of six people shot; Miguel Rivera, 22, Christopher Hernandez, 15, and Edwin Santiago, 17, were shot execution-style, and 40-year-old Julia Santana and her 26-year-old daughter Maria Santana were also found shot to death. The case was described as the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre in news coverage.

Five men were arrested in connection with the sextuple homicide: Anthony Casellas, Luis Ramos, Eliot Lopez, Luis Romero, and Edgardo Rosado. The motive was said to be a dispute with Edwin Santiago, and a civil suit later found the apartment building management partially liable for inadequate security that allowed the assailants access.

Did anyone who knew Annette or the other victims see anything that night or have information about the building’s security?
