- 2:52Speaker 3: four years after a brutal mass killing at an illegal
- 2:56Speaker 3: marijuana farm in southern California, authorities are now shed light
- 3:00Speaker 3: on the case. Investigators believed gang members were behind the
- 3:04Speaker 3: attack that left seven people dead. As Crime Online Sidney
- 3:08Speaker 3: Sumner tells us, they're now asking for the public's help
- 3:11Speaker 3: to bring justice to the victims.
- 3:14Speaker 2: The scene was a remote property in the small mountain
- 3:16Speaker 2: community of Iguanga, about fifty miles northeast of San Diego. There,
- 3:20Speaker 2: in September twenty twenty seven, lines were violently cut short
- 3:24Speaker 2: and an illegal marijuana operation. Six victims were discovered on site,
- 3:28Speaker 2: and a seventh, a woman, died later in the hospital,
- 3:31Speaker 2: now more than four years later. The Riverside County Sheriff's
- 3:34Speaker 2: Department says they believed the perpetrators were gang members of
- 3:37Speaker 2: Lowatian descent, possibly operating out of the San Diego area.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Sheriff Chad Bianco described the killings as a home invasion
- 3:44Speaker 2: type robbery aimed at stealing cash. While a substantial amount
- 3:48Speaker 2: of marijuana was found over one thousand plants and several
- 3:51Speaker 2: hundred pounds of processed product, Bianco noted that much of
- 3:54Speaker 2: it was left behind. Authorities believed those who lived and
- 3:57Speaker 2: worked on the property more than twenty people in total,
- 4:00Speaker 2: may fear retaliation or hold a deep distrust of law enforcement,
- 4:03Speaker 2: particularly if they come from countries where authorities are seen
- 4:06Speaker 2: as corrupt. Adding to the investigation, officials are seeking information
- 4:10Speaker 2: about a mid sized, dark colored SUV believed to have
- 4:13Speaker 2: been used by the suspects. Sheriff Bianco has urged anyone
- 4:17Speaker 2: with knowledge to come forward, seeing community assistance is critical
- 4:20Speaker 2: to solving this case. The illicit operation highlights a broader
- 4:24Speaker 2: issue in California's marijuana market. Despite the state legalizing recreational
- 4:28Speaker 2: cannabis in twenty eighteen, high taxes and strict regulations have
- 4:32Speaker 2: kept the illegal market thriving. Consumers often turned to unlicensed
- 4:36Speaker 2: sellers to save money.
- 4:37Speaker 3: If you have any information about the Iguanga killings, you're
- 4:41Speaker 3: urged to contact the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
