Three charged for gun battle that left two dead at Dorchester restaurant

Two men were indicted today for the murder of an innocent chef and a man with whom they allegedly fought at the Ka-Carlos restaurant in August, while a third was charged with trying but failing to gun somebody down during the fight, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office says.

Emmanuel Pina and Sandro Tavares were indicted today for the murder of chef Manuel Monteiro, 47, who tried to keep peace at the restaurant in the early hours of Aug. 2, and Jovany Eason, with whom the two were fighting. A third man, Timothy Santos, was indicted on charges of armed assault with intent to murder, the DA's office says.
