ABC13 Weather Alert Day: Round of scattered heavy, tropical downpours on the way for Wednesday

A 15-year-old's body was recovered from floodwaters in Magnolia on Tuesday evening after authorities said the teenager, along with some friends, was playing near a retention pond.

According to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to the 30000 block of Turriff Circle following a report of a missing juvenile in a flooded retention pond at about 6 p.m.

Investigators said they learned that a group of teenagers was riding 4-wheelers near a construction roadway and adjacent retention pond when a 15-year-old entered the water. Officials said the water quickly exceeded the teenager's height, and he went under.

Authorities said a 911 call was made immediately before the Magnolia Fire Department responded to the scene.

After an extensive search using sonar technology, MCSO said the 15-year-old was recovered and pronounced dead at the scene.

MCSO said its detectives are conducting a death investigation, which they said is protocol after a drowning incident. Investigators said there is no indication of foul play.
