Sanchez was shot in the head and stabbed in the heart. Meanwhile, Nunez was shot twice and stabbed more than 30 times.
Maisonett was arrested nearly two months later on Feb. 16, 2016, following an investigation.
“Today’s lengthy sentence holds this defendant accountable for his role in this brutal and horrific double murder that robbed two innocent victims of their lives," Gonzalez said. "The depravity of these crimes cannot be overstated, and while no sentence can bring the victims back to their family and friends, I hope this sentence offers them some sense of solace.”
