San Diego Based Sailors Charged With Murder
Two United States Sailors are being charged with the murder of a Mexican prostitute and attempted murder on another in Tijuana.
Petty Officer Second Class Joshua Docker, 27, and Petty Officer Third Class Jarrett Monzingo 22, have been charged with murder and attempted murder and are being held at La Mesa Prison in Tijuana, Mexico.
The incident occurred on January 17, when witnesses and a hotel camera place the two sailors at the same hotel where Mayte Victoria Delgado Flores 19, was found dead.
In a separate incident, the two men were found by police last Thursday in the early morning after meeting with two prostitutes in rented rooms at the Zona Norte Hotel. One of the women and a hotel employee were found stabbed, while the other woman was choked. The sailors were taken into custody and charged with assault with great bodily injury. According to authorities, they later found evidence connecting them to the murder in January.
This is a very serious and complicated case involving violent crimes, alcohol, drugs, and weapons. “The trial takes place before a single judge, and a case like this could take several years to go through all of the different stages” said Jorge Vargas who practiced law in Mexico City.
One of the sailors worked for VRC 30, a logistics and transportation arm of the U.S. Navy. The other sailor was undergoing BUD/S training to be a Navy SEAL.
