TIJUANA — Two U.S. Navy enlisted men face charges of attempted homicide after being accused of attacking two prostitutes and a hotel security employee early Thursday in the city's Zona Norte.
The Baja California Attorney General's Office on Friday identified the suspects as Joshua Phillip Docker and Jarret Christopher Monzingo.
A spokesman for the Navy Region Southwest in San Diego confirmed that two sailors had been arrested in the early morning incident. He could not confirm their names, but said one was assigned to a fleet logistics support squadron based at North Island, while the other had until recently been in SEAL training in Coronado.
Both men refused to identify themselves to U.S. reporters Friday afternoon at the Baja California Attorney General's Office.
According to state investigators, the incident broke out at a hotel in the city's Zona Norte, where the two men had been in the company of two prostitutes.
According to municipal police, one of the women was choked, while the other woman and the hotel employee both suffered stab wounds. Municipal police reported that both sailors were in possession of blood-stained knives at the time of their arrest.
The Navy requires that junior personnel have written permission when traveling to Mexico, while senior staff are required to verbally inform their superiors, said Brian O'Rourke, spokesman for Navy Region Southwest.
