At approximately 10:22 p.m. Tuesday evening, 911 received a call from a witness who observed an adult Asian male in his early 20’s, approximately 6’ tall, with tattoos on his arm, enter the water and never return to shore. Responding deputies located personal items on the beach belonging to the missing man.
A search of the surrounding beach and waters was unsuccessful in locating the individual before being suspended for the night.
