In retaliation for the "Río Piedras massacre" at the University of Rio Piedras, on February 23, 1936, Nationalists Hiram Rosado and Elias Beauchamp killed Colonel E. Francis Riggs in San Juan. They were taken into custody where they were killed by policemen and officers while being held at the San Juan headquarters.[1] Rosado and Beauchamp were declared heroes by the Nationalist Party president, Pedro Albizu.[2] Shortly after, the San Juan Federal Court had Albizu arrested for his incitement of discontent. After initially being found innocent in a jury with seven Puerto Ricans and two North Americans, the judge ordered a new jury which had ten North Americans and two Puerto Ricans, who found him guilty.[2] On July 31, 1936, Albizu and several other Nationalists such as Juan Antonio Corretjer and Clemente Soto Vélez were convicted of being associated with Riggs' murder. They were sentenced to six to 10 years in a federal prison in the United States.[3]

Due to the force of keeping Albizu Campos right of speech, at the University of Puerto Rico a group of students who were furious assembled in the front entrance of the University. They were tired of Puerto Ricans being discriminated by, but the governor at the time, Govenor Blanton Winship was not going to have a breakout with disciplining his power. He demanded policeman to keep the situation under control. The situation had gotten out of hand from the violence being formed and it forced policeman to shoot, this killed four people, this included the Treasurer of Nationalist Party. This was known as Rio Piedras Massacre.
A couple of police officers spotted what they believed to be a suspicious-looking automobile and asked the driver Ramón S. Pagán for his license. Pagán was the Secretary of the Nationalist Party at this time.[1] He was accompanied in the car by his friends and other Nationalist Party members Pedro Quiñones and Eduardo Rodríguez.[2] The police officers asked Pagán to slowly drive to the police station on Calle Arzuaga, but a block from the station, the police surrounded the vehicle and fired their guns into the car.[2] Pagán, Quiñones, and Rodríguez were not armed with weapons.[1] José Santiago Barea, another Nationalist, was approaching the car when police began shooting.[2] It resulted in the death of the four nationalists and one bystander.[54]
