3 dead, 9 missing after boat capsizes off San Diego beach
At least three people were killed when a small boat capsized Monday morning off the coast of San Diego, officials said. At least nine others were missing as rescue and recovery operations got underway.
The panga-style fishing boat overturned near Torrey Pines State Beach with at least 18 people on board, the San Diego-based CBS News affiliate KFMB reported, citing local authorities. Among them were at least two children, according to the station, which also reported that four people were hospitalized in the aftermath of the incident.
Earlier, the U.S. Coast Guard said officers were searching for nine missing people off the coast of Del Mar, near Torrey Pines State Beach, on Monday morning after receiving a report of an overturned vessel. The San Diego County Sheriff's Office said its deputies were assisting.
The sheriff told KFMB that no one had been detained in connection with the incident.
Video published by the station showed the empty boat near the shoreline at Torrey Pines State Beach, while lifeguards patrolled the water and law enforcement vehicles parked on the sand. A Coast Guard helicopter surveyed the area from above.
In addition to sheriff's deputies and the Coast Guard, officials with the Encinitas Fire Department and U.S. Customs and Border Patrol were also at the scene, KFMB reported. A spokesperson for the fire department told the station it was "too early to know whether the individuals on board were undocumented immigrants."
Jorge Sanchez, the deputy fire chief, also said in an interview at the scene that the immigration status of those on board was "not known at the moment." Sanchez said multiple people were found on the beach after the boat overturned, and confirmed it was considered a "mass casualty incident."
CBS News contacted the San Diego Sheriff's Office for more information.

Jared Leto Denies Report of Inappropriate Sexual Conduct Allegations by 9 Women
Nine women have accused Leto of inappropriate conduct in an exposé published by Air Mail, including a strong denial from unnamed reps for the actor and 30 Seconds to Mars frontman. Some of the women noted in the Graydon Carter-backed weekly newsletter's Saturday report say they were underage when the actor allegedly engaged in sexually charged conversations or made forceful advances on them. U.S.-based spokespeople for Leto did not immediately return messages seeking comment. Rumors about Leto's behavior toward young and underage women go back to at least 2005, when the New York Post published a story that began, 'Jared Leto likes 'em young.' The actor was allegedly caught hitting on teen models staying at the Maritime Hotel. One woman Clavarino spoke to said Leto asked for her number when she was 16. He called her days later. 'I don't know if he was on drugs or what … It was the weirdest, grossest voice … [But] for me, it's Jared, you know? … And the conversations turned sexual. He'd ask things like, 'Have you ever had a boyfriend? Have you ever [expletives]?' Model Laura La Rue also said she had a similar experience with Leto when she was 16. 'He asked how old I was. I said, 'I'm 16. How old are you?' she explained. Leto was then 36. A third woman explained she was 20 when she met Leto while out. 'We ended up hooking up a little at the club,' she told the outlet, and 'hung out a few times at his house, but he was weird. Look, I know some people are kinky, and that's fine. But his kind of kink — it just didn't feel right.' The actor also allegedly threw parties in 2007 and 2008 and 'recruited' young women to attend. 'I was 18 the first time I went, and I was definitely not the youngest person there,' a woman told Clavarino. 'The energy was all about getting the girls in the pool.' In May Los Angeles-based DJ Allie Teilz shared a Facebook status from 2012 in her Instagram Stories. 'Youre [sic] not really in L.A. until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage … In a kilt … And a snow hat,' she wrote more than a decade ago. 'I was assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17,' she wrote in another Instagram story. 'He knew my age and didn't care. What he did was predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.' 'Throwback to 2012, Jared Leto was a creep then … still a creep now, going on 15+ years of being Hollywood's most persistent predator in a kilt.' And another: '29+ years of being a pedophile. when does this end? protect our girls #jaredleto,' she also wrote. 'Let me be clear,' Teilz wrote in another Instagram story. 'What he's done is not OK: the sheer volume of these cases—and how young some of these girls were, just 14, 15, 16—breaks my heart.' Read the entire report at Air Mail.

San Diego lawmakers demand federal investigation into ICE raid at local restaurants
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Local and state lawmakers are calling for a federal investigation into a recent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid that took place at two popular San Diego restaurants. The operation, which occurred on May 30 at Buona Forchetta and Enoteca Buona Forchetta, has sparked outrage over what critics describe as 'excessive' and 'theatrical' enforcement tactics. In a formal letter sent to ICE's Office of Professional Responsibility, U.S. Senators Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) and Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), along with Representatives Scott Peters (D-Calif.-50) and Juan Vargas (D-Calif.-52), demanded an investigation into the use of force, legal compliance, and community impact of the raid. The lawmakers cited reports that approximately 20 ICE agents in military-style gear entered the restaurants during peak dining hours, deploying flash-bang grenades and detaining four employees. Witnesses say the raid caused panic among patrons and staff. RELATED: Outrage and solidarity after ICE raid shakes South Park restaurant 'This troubling incident is not an isolated case,' the lawmakers wrote. 'Rather, it appears to be part of a broader pattern of escalated and theatrical immigration enforcement operations across the country.' The lawmakers pointed to other recent ICE actions — including a raid at a Los Angeles nightclub and an arrest in Massachusetts where agents smashed in a car window to detain a Guatemalan man — as part of what they describe as a disturbing trend of high-profile, aggressive tactics targeting immigrant communities. The raid has drawn strong criticism from local leaders, including San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, who condemned its impact on public trust, safety and the local economy. Community advocates also expressed concern about the effect the operation could have on immigrants' willingness to report crimes or engage with law enforcement. The letter outlines several questions for ICE, including what threat assessments justified the use of flash-bang devices in a civilian dining environment, whether legal protocols were followed, and whether local authorities were consulted beforehand. RELATED: California senator slams ICE raid at South Park restaurants: 'weaponized hate' Padilla, Schiff, Peters, and Vargas also raised concerns about broader immigration enforcement practices under the Trump Administration, linking the San Diego operation to what they called a 'misuse' of federal power aimed at instilling fear rather than ensuring public safety. Along with their call for an investigation, the lawmakers also sent a separate letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, expressing alarm over ICE agents targeting immigrants at courthouses, including the San Diego Immigration Court. The ICE raid has become a flashpoint in California's ongoing struggle with federal immigration enforcement, especially in sanctuary cities where officials have sought to create a more welcoming environment for immigrant communities. The lawmakers have requested a detailed report from ICE's Office of Professional Responsibility by July 7. As of now, ICE has not publicly responded to the demands. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Mass. man who supplied gang with ‘particularly dangerous' drugs began drinking, smoking at 13
At just 13, a Massachusetts boy turned to alcohol and marijuana. By 15, he was hooked on heroin. Now, three decades later, the scars of that addiction run deep — and at 39, he's been sentenced to federal prison for his role in a Massachusetts-based drug ring. Brian Gingras, also known as 'Cheech,' was sentenced June 4 to nine years in prison. Gringas pleaded guilty in January to conspiracy to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute 50 grams and more of methamphetamine. Gingras' 'first encounter with the criminal justice system was in 2003, when he was 17 years old. The next 20 years of Defendant's life would be an uninterrupted parade of arrests and criminal court cases,' court documents state. 'Most of these cases did not result in convictions, but the records illustrate in stark relief Defendant's unwillingness or inability to conform his conduct to the requirements of the law.' Read more: How one machine supercharged illicit drug manufacturing in Mass. In 2019, Gingras' parents bought him a home. Three years later, investigators searched that home 'finding substantial evidence of Defendant's crimes.' Investigators also said the 'unkempt home' was 'in disarray.' 'Drugs were found in nearly every room of the house, some of which were clearly being used,' court documents state. 'Defendant himself appeared to be in distress, and he was removed from the scene in an ambulance.' Thousands of 'particularly dangerous imitations' of Adderall pills that were supplied by a Massachusetts gang looked like the real pills but were filled with a compound of methamphetamine and caffeine. The pills had become increasingly popular and prevalent in Lowell. They were similar in shape, size, and appearance to genuine Adderall but were typically pressed with methamphetamine by local drug traffickers using pill presses, court documents state. Gingras was the source of the pills and other drugs, such as cocaine and counterfeit 'Xanax bars,' to the Asian Boyz gang, according to court documents. He was distributing wholesale quantities of cocaine and various illicit pills. He had all the equipment necessary to produce the pills himself, including an industrial pill press, which is legal in the U.S. The machines are largely unregulated and available for purchase online. In the garage, officials found a broken pill press covered in drug residue. Historically, pill presses were used in the pharmaceutical profession and by people who make their own dietary supplements, such as bodybuilders or naturopaths.

The seller will go to prison Gingras also maintained a large quantity of the drugs at a commercial storage facility, court documents state. Inside the storage unit, officials found 250 grams of methamphetamine pills, over 1 kilogram of etizolam pills, bags of suspected marijuana, boxes of THC extract and edible products and over 30 kilograms of caffeine pills that looked identical to the counterfeit 'Adderall' pills made with methamphetamine. Bill Phim, also known as 'Bonez,' of the Asian Boyz gang, told an undercover officer that he coordinated the supply of methamphetamine pills with other Asian Boyz gang members and associates, including Gingras. Between May 2022 and September 2022, officials said Gingras met with Phim prior to planned deals to personally deliver pills. In total, Gingras supplied Phim with about 5,200 pills during this time period, consisting of over 1.6 kilograms (3.5 pounds) of methamphetamine, court documents read. Gingras sold the pills for about $1 per pill. 'Phim, in turn, re-sold the pills to the undercover officer for a significant profit, at the price of $3.50 per pill,' court documents read. Phim, 37, of Lowell, was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He will then be on five years of supervised release. Read more: Will Mass. lawmakers take action on illicit drug-making machines? Public comment sought. Between February 2022 and April 2022, Erickson Dao, also known as 'Silent,' 32, of Lowell, delivered the counterfeit pills to Phim at least five times. Phim then sold the pills to an undercover federal agent for more than $11,000. On 12 different dates in 2022, Phim sold these counterfeit 'Adderall' pills to an undercover agent. In total, Phim sold the undercover agent over 10,000 pills for more than $36,000. Chemical testing confirmed that the pills were a dangerous compound of methamphetamine and caffeine. When investigators searched Dao's residence, they discovered thousands more counterfeit 'Adderall' pills and large quantities of cocaine. Gingras was seen making 'brief visits' to the back door of Dao's house, 'where Dao routinely engaged in drug transactions,' court documents state. Dao was sentenced to more than seven years in prison. He will then be on four years of supervised release. Read more: We bought a machine that makes fentanyl pills. It wasn't hard Gingras said he was not part of the Asian Boyz gang. However, court documents state he was highly associated with them, including knowing one of the leaders. After the seizure of the drugs, investigators suspected that they had completely disrupted Gingras drug operation. Over Facebook Messenger, another suspected Asian Boyz gang member Samnang Son, or 'Smiley,' told Gingras that he was 'poor.' Gingras responded, 'Me too. I went from balling to crawling.' 'Defendant's response was revealing, capturing his state of mind in the immediate aftermath of the demise of his own illicit drug operation,' court documents read. When officials went to arrest Gingras the next day, they found him at a location in Lowell that is 'frequented by drug addicts and known as a place to obtain and use illicit drugs.' Read more: Hidden in plain sight: Where pill presses have been uncovered in Mass. Court documents state his addiction and mental health issues were considered when deciding his sentence. However, court documents state, 'this case suggests that Defendant even embraced a life of crime.' Officials hopes the nine years in prison gives Gingras 'significant opportunity to participate in the programming available,' including Bureau of Prison's Residential Drug Abuse Program.
