"Two Honduran teenagers from the migrant caravan in Tijuana were murdered by a group of men who deprived them of their liberty in a Central Zone barracks in an attempt to rob them. A third minor managed to escape.
The Deputy Attorney General confirmed that these are the first intentional homicides committed against the members of the caravan that arrived in Tijuana in November.
The two bodies were found lying on the public road in the Central Zone with traces of strangulation and in one of the cases, with a knife wound.
Deputy Attorney Jorge Álvarez explained that on Saturday, December 15, three teenagers between 16 and 17 years old walked from the shelter where they lived to the Central Zone when they began to talk with some young people.
During the conversation, the children told them that they would change a check, which was not true, so the women invited them to their home to have sex.
However, once inside the cuartería, one of the girls made a call and a group of men arrived, who demanded the money and when they saw that the migrants did not count on him, they murdered two of them.
The third one managed to escape, but he has physical injuries and has an attempted strangulation mark. After murdering the two teenagers, the killers threw the bodies onto the public highway.
The deputy attorney discarded that the motive of the crime was for the migrant status of the victims, but that it was a circumstantial crime, since with the information gathered, it is understood that the murderers sought to rob them.
He added that the murderers were under the influence of a drug at the time of committing the crime."
Update 12/19/18: Three arrests have been made in this case, all agencias reporting:

For some reason this is printing dark, unintentional and I can't fix it. This next report to me at least is actually good news for the migrantes. We've talked about the NGO's and extremist factions which motivated the migrantes to rush the border. One of these "leaders" was arrested today at El Barretal:
