A federal grand jury in San Antonio has indicted four men in connection with a deadly human smuggling incident in late June that left 53 illegal immigrants dead and injured 11 more.

The 53 people who died, three of whom were minors, were among a group of illegal immigrants found inside an 18-wheeler trailer on a remote back road in southwest San Antonio on June 27.
