Summary

A migrant vessel carrying 62 people capsized in the Mona Passage between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic after a violent altercation involving a machete broke out on board. The U.S. Coast Guard, along with partner agencies and a civilian boat, conducted search and rescue operations lasting nearly 80 hours, recovering 49 survivors and three bodies. Ten people remain missing. The majority of passengers were from the Dominican Republic, with at least two from Haiti. Some survivors jumped overboard during the melee. After four days of operations with no new developments, the Coast Guard suspended the search.
