DALLAS-Dallas Police and Dallas Fire-Rescue are actively searching for an 18-year-old man who went missing after entering a spillway near the Mountain Creek Lake Dam on Sunday afternoon and not resurfacing.
The incident occurred around 4:17 p.m. near South Merrifield Road and Keeneland Parkway. According to reports, a 911 caller informed the authorities that a man and his 18-year-old son were fishing in a shallow part of the water near the spillway when the son was suddenly pulled under the water and did not resurface.
Rescue crews quickly responded to the scene, initiating a search using boats, sonar equipment, and drones. The spillway was shut down to facilitate the search for the missing young man. Despite the extensive efforts, the search was suspended for the evening after several hours without success.
Dallas Police have announced plans to resume the search on Monday, May 20.
