The dreams of being granted asylum and starting out fresh in the United States were cut short for two Honduran teens, who were assassinated during an ambush in Tijuana.

Assistant prosecutor Jorge Alvarez said the two boys, between the ages of 16 and 17, and another friend, were lured into a trap Saturday when they left their shelter and met two girls that invited the trio for a sexual tryst at a local motel.

Alvarez said two of the teenagers were strangled to death. One of the Central American victims showed signs of a stab wound.

On Wednesday, law enforcement authorities in the state of Baja California revealed images of the three suspected killers identified as Esmeralda, Carlos y Francisco Javier. Their full last names were not released.

The suspects were charged with murder, battery and kidnapping.

The names of the boys were not made public.

According to reports from the investigation, the surviving boy was let go by the captors.

He told investigators that he and his buddies met two local girls in the Mexican border city and during the conversation mentioned that they were walking around looking for a place to cash a check.

In turn, the girls said that they were walking around trying to look for a lost pet dog and invited the Honduran trio to a motel in the city center for a sexual encounter, according to Mexican news outlet Zeta Tijuana.

Once inside the motel, Alvarez said that the one of the girls made a phone call and the boys were accosted by a group of men.

The Tijuana assistant prosecutor said the boys were never in possession of a check.

He also said that the migrant boys were part of group that was going to be smuggled across the border and into the United States.

Instead, the judicial official said that they boys were targeted because the assassins figured the Honduran teens were carrying a large sum of money.
