Three suspects have been jailed for allegedly carrying out a rash of stabbings that left three people wounded in Imperial Beach over the last week, authorities reported Friday. The three allegedly gang-related assaults, which took place between Saturday and Tuesday, left the victims with non-life -threatening injuries, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office. Taken into custody Wednesday and Thursday were three of five people suspected of taking part in the attacks — Francisco Guerrero, 20, Christopher Lopez, 25, and Jonathan Navarro, 21. “Investigators have identified the remaining two suspects involved in the … incidents,” sheriff’s Lt. Chris Galve said. “It is only a matter of time before they are taken into custody.” The alleged perpetrators of the assaults — one of which happened in the midst of a fight near Dunes Park, and another during a holdup at a liquor store — are expected to face a variety of felony charges, including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, robbery, illegal possession of narcotics and participating in a criminal gang. Following the two violent stabbings just blocks apart last Saturday and then another on Tuesday, law enforcement said they would increase patrols in the small city. Imperial Beach is a small beachside community at the most southwestern point of the continental U.S. spanning only 4.3 square miles, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
