Three US Citizens in Group of Four Dead in Tijuana

Baja California authorities are looking into the deaths of four people who's bodies were found in a van in Tijuana last weekend. Mexican authorities say three are US citizens, incuding a 19 year old woman and two men who were 21 and 23. Officials say the fourth woman was 20 and a Mexican citizen.

The Baja California's State Attorney General's statement says the bodies were wrapped in blankets and showed signs of severe injury. The van was found in a residential neighborhood in eastern Tijuana.

US Consular officials in Tijuana were not available to comment on the case due to the late hour.
