TIJUANA, Mexico (KGTV) — Two children who went missing after their mother was killed in Tijuana have been found safe, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.
The department said the children were reunited with their family Wednesday.
The attorney general's office says the children were last seen in Tijuana with their mother, Precius Alessandra Kari Garibay, on Friday, Sept. 2. Their location was unknown since then.
The siblings' grandmother told the San Diego Union-Tribune they live with their maternal grandparents in Spring Valley. The paper also reported she believed the children were with their biological father, who has family in Tijuana and lives in Santee.
Punto Norte, a newspaper based out of Tijuana, reported Monday that the children's mother was shot while she rode in a car her ex-husband was driving. Garibay later died at Hospital General in Tijuana from the serious injuries she suffered in the shooting.
The Tijuana paper says the shooting happened at the bathrooms at the toll booth on the Escénia toll highway near the Playas de Tijuana.
