SOUTH HAVEN, Mich. (WOOD) — The Van Buren County Sheriff’s Office says a man who was last seen walking into the waves in South Haven Sunday night has been identified as 20-year-old Jaedon Odunuga-Evans of Lansing.

Van Buren County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Virg Franks says his body has not yet been recovered. He is presumed to have drowned in Lake Michigan.

The Sheriff’s Office said another young man was swept off the North Pier and into the Black River moments before Odunuga-Evans went missing, yet persons nearby quickly pulled him to safety.

Local authorities were then notified of Odunuga-Evans’ disappearance, halfway between the North Pier and North Beach concession area.
