Suit filed over smuggling boat capsize death off California
SAN DIEGO (AP) — The parents of a Mexican woman who died when a smuggling boat capsized off the Southern California coast are suing U.S. government agents they claim rammed the vessel.
The suit says 32-year-old Graciela Lopez Franco of Arandas was killed in June as a panga boat carrying 20 people tried to cross into the U.S. from Mexico illegally.
