Troopers report that several friends were swimming when 19-year-old Yerson Garcia De Luna went under and never resurfaced. Troopers say the man was attempting help one of his friends who was also struggling.

Heather Hartley says she was with her kids when she was told by search crews to clear the area. She says she saw crews pull the man’s body from the lake.
