The San Diego County medical examiner’s office identified three of the eight people who died after two boats capsized in a suspected human smuggling attempt: Yecenia Lazcano Soriano, 22 Guillermo Suarez Gonzalez, 23 Eloy Hernandez Baltazar, 48
As human smuggling attempts along Southern California’s coast have surged, so have mishaps and deaths. At least eight people died over the weekend.Murillo said Lazcano’s family and the family of a 39-year-old man contacted his legal consulting firm to ask for help in finding their relatives. Both families had received phone calls from someone who notified them that their family members had been on a boat that overturned. The caller then hung up, he said.
Murillo said it is common for smugglers to deliver terrible news then “vanish” so they aren’t contacted again, leaving families with little information and a great deal of anguish. According to the families he spoke to, several migrants from Santiago Miahuatlán in southeast Puebla were among the passengers on the two boats that capsized, Murillo said.
Lifeguards found two overturned pangas and no survivors, leading officials to believe some people fled before crews arrived.
