Forensic scientist details gunshot wounds of three surfers killed during Baja beach trip

A forensic expert testifying in Ensenada described gunshot wounds on the bodies of Jake and Callum Robinson and Jack Carter Rhoad, three surfers killed in Baja California, saying most bullets entered from behind, including a signature entry point behind the left ear on all three victims. Three defendants, Jesús Gerardo, Irineo Francisco and Ángel Jesús, face charges of aggravated homicide and robbery; the state's stated motive remains a robbery attempt for tires.

A fourth, uncharged body was found in the same well. A forensic resident consulted by the outlet, not involved in the case, said the wound pattern suggests trained shooters rather than a panicked robbery, and a document obtained by the outlet alleges cartel links, though the defense and court have not confirmed how many people were involved.

Testimony from a former girlfriend of one defendant described him as keeping a list of people he intended to kill. The trial is expected to conclude by Sept. 30.
