Two San Diego teens who took a day trip to Mexico to visit a friend last Friday were found dead in a Tijuana apartment in what is being investigated as a triple homicide.
Christopher Alexis Gomez, a 17yo football player at O’Farrell Charter HS, and Juan Suarez-Ojeda, a recent graduate of Ingenuity Charter School, set out to visit their friend, an 18yo Tijuana resident,...
Gomez and Suarez-Ojeda told family members that they planned to attend a barbecue in Ensenada, about 50 miles south of Tijuana, and would return to the U.S. on Friday night, ...
When the two failed to show up or contact relatives, Garcia says the family frantically called authorities and drove to Tijuana to search for them.
The bodies of Gomez, Suarez-Ojeda and their friend, were found Sunday morning after gunshots rang out at a housing complex.
Police discovered them shot dead execution-style, wearing only their underwear,... The teens had all been tortured prior to their deaths, a Tijuana detective allegedly told relatives of Gomez. The motive behind the brutal murders still remains unknown.
"Everyone is devastated," Garcia told reporters. "This just feels so unreal."
"They're monsters," she said of her cousin's killers while choking back tears. "Who does that to three young boys who have their whole lives ahead of them?"
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help both families cover funeral arrangements and any other unexpected expenses.
Garcia also set up a separate GoFundMe just to help her cousin’s family, who she said was struggling to even afford to bring Gomez's body back to San Diego.
"I know how this story sounds, like something that people hear on the news: You go to Tijuana and this happens," "But he was the most selfless, kindest boy ever … This shouldn’t have happened to him."

Sounds like someone down there wanted to establish a Business Relationship with them.
And they didn’t want that.
This tragedy aside, we may well end up in another war with, or in, Mexico.
Refused to pay the hookers?

Chased by Guido the killer pimp?
I certainly feel bad for the boys and their families.
But you have to be pretty dumb to go to Mexico for any reason. That country is a chithole.
Drugs? Well, good riddance.
We got chased by Guido the Killer Pimp up at NTC Great Lakes in 1988 or 89. No chit!!
Another good reason to close the boarder with Mexico.
your feeling bad is basically meddling in other’s affairs where you have no business
Often, it's just wrong place, wrong time. Feel bad for them, will give them the benefit of the doubt and suppose it was bad luck. I've encountered bad situations in the past and feel lucky. I've been to Tijuana and Ensenada and had no problems. Problems I encountered were here, with criminals having knives and guns but talked my way out of them. No one deserves to be tortured without cause.
going for a BBQ?
across the border in an area of mexico with 5k+ extra south americans milling around, really?
and their parents said ok?
who drives a couple hours having to go thru border crossing each way just for a BBQ for the evening?
something else going on for sure.
Mexico is so corrupt and filled with drug gangs that we should just shut down the border. Democrats love corruption and drug gangs, though.
“Time of your life, eh kid?”
“Don’t }%*~ with another man’s livelihood.”

Mexico is a failed state - Somalia on our southern border.
shtthole
It’s speculation but the facts as presented have that kind of familiarity. Did they ever get to Ensenada? Why were they in an apartment? Did they lie about their motives for the trip? Not that it’s hard to figure out - kids historically go to Tijuana for pretty obvious reasons. At their age I made a few trips down to Rosarito Beach, never really saw the appeal of Tijuana itself. This was long before the drug trade moved to Northern Mexico.
From the names it sounds like they belonged south of the border in the first place.
