The victims, Jake Robinson, 33, Callum Robinson, 30, and Carter Rhoad, 30, were on a surfing trip in Baja California when they were shot and robbed. Their bodies were later found in a water well.

The three convicted men were Jesús Gerardo García, Irineo Francisco, and Ángel Jesús. The judge sentenced each of them on October 16, 2026. The long sentence covers three counts of homicide, robbery, and vehicle theft.
