On Sunday, May 19, at 4:17 p.m., Dallas Fire-Rescue (DFR) units were dispatched to a Water Rescue call, in Mountain Creek, following reports of someone who went under water in an area of the creek, near South Merrifield Road and Keeneland Parkway.
According to personnel on scene, a man and his 18 year-old son were fishing in a shallow part of the water near the spillway, when the son was pulled under and never resurfaced.
DFR, DPD and the Game Wardens Office deployed resources, including boats, sonar equipment and drones to aid in the search, but were unable to find him. The spillway has been shut down and units are currently clearing the scene in preparation for suspending search efforts for the evening.
There are plans to resume the search tomorrow, but details on those efforts are not available.
