LONG BEACH - Two convicted felons and alleged members of a Watts street gang were charged Wednesday with the 2008 shooting deaths of five people, one of the worst mass killings in Long Beach history.
David Cruz Ponce, 31, of Lancaster, and Max Eliseo Rafael, 25, of Los Angeles, were each charged with five special circumstance murders in the case, said Deputy Los Angeles District Attorney Eric Harmon.
