The two service members who passed away due to a crash near Santa Teresa, New Mexico earlier this week were 22-year-old Lance Cpl. Albert A. Aguilera of Riverside, California and 28-year-old Lance Cpl. Marcelino M. Gamino of Fresno, California, according to the 1st Marine Division.

“Officials with 1st Marine Division identified the two Marines who were killed after a vehicle accident April 15 while supporting Joint Task Force Southern Border operations,” a press release states. “The crash occurred during a convoy movement near Santa Teresa, New Mexico.”

Both men were combat engineers, according to the April 17 press release, which also noted that another Marine was in critical condition and undergoing treatment.

“The three Marines were transported to University Medical Hospital, El Paso, Texas, where Aguilar and Gamino were pronounced dead,” the release indicated. “The incident is under investigation.”

The injured service member is with the 1st Combat Engineer Battalion, as were the two Marines who passed away, the 1st Marine Division reported.

“The loss of Lance Cpl. Aguilera and Lance Cpl. Gamino is deeply felt by all of us,” 1st Combat Engineer Battalion and Task Force Sapper commanding officer U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. Tyrone A. Barrion noted, according to the press release. 

“I extend my heartfelt condolences and prayers to the families of our fallen brothers. Our top priority right now is to ensure that their families, and the Marines affected by their passing, are fully supported during this difficult time.”

Fox News Digital reached out to the 1st Marine Division on Friday but did not receive a response by the time of publication.

Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth commented on the tragic deaths of the two service members earlier this week.
