A search was underway early Monday after a suspected smuggling boat capsized off Del Mar, killing three people. Early reports indicated nine people were missing from the boat, while four survivors were located.

Crews were searching for survivors. It was not immediately clear how many people were on the boat, a small, open, outboard-powered craft.

A twelve-foot boat sank in rough surf off the coast of Del Mar, leaving approximately a dozen people in the water.
