Fueled by rage and loss, brothers Felipe and Vivian Espinosa embarked on a murderous rampage in 1863, leaving a trail of at least 12 bodies in their wake. Like most events in history, it's not a clear cut story of villains and victims, but a complicated twist of racism and tensions finally boiling over.
