Tugboat Captain to Change Plea | Miami News

A tugboat captain facing charges in the deadly Biscayne Bay collision that killed three young girls is set to change his plea in court — a shocking twist just weeks before the one-year anniversary of the tragedy. The crash, which occurred on July 28, 2025, saw Lopez Insua’s tugboat strike a sailboat carrying campers, including seven-year-old Mila, ten-year-old Arielle, and thirteen-year-old Erin. Though two others survived, prosecutors allege negligence — citing poor visibility, lack of lookout, and suspicious phone activity during the incident. Now, as the community mourns, Lopez Insua is poised to plead guilty, marking a pivotal moment in a case that has gripped the nation.
