Mixed-martial-arts fighter Sergio Salcido and his friend and coworker, Kevin Joel Romero, were killed early Monday morning at a border crossing in Tijuana, Mexico.
The Americans were gunned down while sitting in a pickup truck at the San Ysidro border crossing on the way to their jobs at West Coast Beverage Maintenance in San Diego.
Fellow MMA fighter Dominique Robinson, whom Salcido saw as a mentor, told MMAjunkie.com his friend was only living in Mexico because the MMA industry had failed him so many times.
