TARRANT COUNTY, Texas — Friends and family are continuing to look for 18-year-old Jose Reyes, who was last seen Sunday kayaking in Benbroook Lake.
Around 7:15 p.m. the current took him, a family friend said Monday. Reyes' kayak, shoes and oar were found, but his body was not. The family believes he drowned, according to a family friend. Reyes was not wearing a life jacket.
Game warden officials said they and the Benbrook Fire Department were notified Reyes was missing around 10:30 p.m. Sunday and searched for Reyes until 3 a.m. Monday morning.
Officials said they don't know exactly where or how the kayak overturned, but have a general area to search based on the wind.
Crews returned at 8 a.m., stopped for a thunderstorm, then began searching around 2 to 3 p.m. Monday. They will stop searching when it gets dark and will continue to search Tuesday morning, officials said.
