Five Mexican nationals have been arrested for alleged human smuggling activities in San Diego that resulted in the deaths of at least three illegal immigrants, including a 14-year-old boy from India, whose 10-year-old sister is missing at sea and presumed dead.

Their parents are currently hospitalized, according to a statement issued by the San Diego U.S. Attorney’s Office.
