Five people were charged Tuesday for their involvement in an alleged human smuggling operation after a small boat capsized off the San Diego coast Monday morning, according to court documents filed Tuesday.

At least three people are dead and seven others, including two children, are missing after a "panga"-style fishing vessel washed ashore near San Diego on May 5, authorities said. Crews responded to a report of the overturned vessel off the coast of Del Mar shortly after 6:30 a.m. local time, officials told KABC-TV.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of California announced Tuesday it is charging five Mexican nationals in connection with a boat of migrants that recently capsized in San Diego. At least three migrants died and one missing person is “presumed dead” after the maritime smuggling incident occurred on Monday.
