New arrest made in connection with surfers deaths in Baja California

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- Mexican officials on Tuesday announced a new arrest in connection with the deaths of three men who went missing during an April surfing trip in Baja California.

Brothers Jake and Callum Robinson of Australia and Jack Carter Rhoad of San Diego were camping in Punta San Jose, south of Ensenada, when they were approached by robbers and shot, Baja California Attorney General Maria Elena Andrade Ramírez said at the time. She said one of the victims refused to give up his truck’s tires.

“One of the assailants pulled out a firearm and shot him,” she said. “The other two jumped in to intervene but were also shot.”

The three surfers' bodies were later found in a 50-foot-deep well. A fourth body was also found.
