| TIJUANA — Mexican authorities said Tuesday that they have ruled out drug-related violence as the cause for two U.S. citizens being shot to death Monday near the San Ysidro border crossing. The U.S. Consulate confirmed early Tuesday that the two victims, Kevin Joel Romero, 28 and Sergio Salcido Luna, 25, were U.S. citizens. They were living in Playas de Tijuana and commuted together to their jobs in San Diego. |

| #1 Marcela Romero believed all along her nephew was not involved with drugs. She said she believes the likely motive in the shooting is a love triangle gone bad that involves Salcido. Romero said in December Salcido caught his girlfriend cheating and got into a fight with the other man. Since then, she said, the man left voicemails and text messages threatening to kill Salcido. Romero said she was told by Mexican police that Salcido's girlfriend was on the scene when both men were shot. "She was on scene. She saw everything happen," said Romero, who added that police told her that same woman then went to her nephew's Tijuana home where his wife was to announce what had happened. |
