The search for a 9-year-old boy has turned into a recovery mission after he entered Winnipeg's Red River Friday afternoon.
It is believed Darius was on a bike ride with two siblings and a friend when the boys entered the river on the north bank.
"It is believed three of the boys made it out of the water, but there was one that was outstanding," said Const. Jay Murray of the Winnipeg police, "Since then, we've allocated numerous resources.""This operation has transitioned into a recovery phase," said Murray. "We have members of our drone unit and river unit as well as general patrol units."The family told CTV News that someone might have jumped into the water after Darius went in.
The family now anxiously awaits any updates, as the last trace of Darius is his bike on the bank of the river. "I think it is incredibly hard to convey their emotions right now. It's certainly very difficult for them. Obviously a very traumatizing incident," Murray said.
