Eleven people remained missing off Baja California on 18 October 2026 after a boat reportedly carrying 27 capsized, the US Coast Guard stated. Three of the 16 people rescued had injuries consistent with shark bites.
The search began after Coast Guard Sector San Diego received a radio distress call at about 1am local time on 16 October. The vessel was taking on water roughly 140 miles (225 kilometres) west of Ensenada, Mexico, the Coast Guard's Southwest District reported.
