Tijuana Killings

The death of four young Americans in Tijuana made fear in Southern California. This happened today and Mexican prosecutors tried to decide whether the youths were involved in the country's violent drug trade or innocent victims of a brutal crime. The victims were two men and two women in their teens and early 20. They said they were headed for a night of partying across the border only to be found strangled, stabbed and beaten a few days later. Mexican officials are investigating whether any of the four San Diego area victims had ties to the drug trade. This was after a toxicology report tested positive for cocaine on the body of Brianna Hernandez. She was either 18 or 19. Another victim was Oscar Jorge Garcia. He was about 23 years old. He was in the San Diego area in January 2008 with six illegal immigrants in the car. It was never charged. This is all the information I could find.
