Boat capsizes off San Diego coast leaving 8 dead, 7 missing
At least eight people were killed when two migrant smuggling boats approached a San Diego beach amid heavy fog and one capsized in the surf, and crews searched Sunday for additional victims, authorities said.
No additional victims were found in the water and officials said some or all of the remaining passengers could have escaped via the beach about 15 miles north of downtown San Diego. The incident was one of the deadliest migrant smuggling operations ever in the area, said Eric Lavergne, a Border Patrol spokesperson. In May 2021, a packed boat used in a human smuggling operation capsized and broke apart in powerful surf along the rocky San Diego coast, killing three people and injuring more than two dozen others.
Surf was modest late Saturday, with swells around 3 feet , but Gartland said the area has hidden dangers.
