‘I asked for help:’ man fears brother drowned at Oceanfront as search is suspended
On Saturday night around 8:30 p.m., police said they responded to a call of three swimmers in distress at the Oceanfront. They found a man who had washed ashore and took him to the hospital, police said.
Police haven’t named the man who washed ashore, but we’ve been in contact with Guilmer Joselino who said one of his brothers was pulled from the ocean and is now in the hospital. He told us his other brother was one of the swimmers still missing in the water, and the other missing person was a friend.
Joselino spoke to News 3 in Spanish. He said he was with his brothers and friend Saturday night on the Oceanfront when they were pulled into the waves.
