The crash occurred west of Point Loma, with the wreckage located in a debris field about 200 feet deep, the Coast Guard said.

The twin-engine Cessna 414 went down in the ocean about three miles west of Point Loma about 12:45 p.m. Sunday.

“The decision to suspend a search is never an easy one,” Lt. Cmdr. Justin Brooks, a search and rescue mission coordinator at Coast Guard Sector San Diego, said in a statement.
