Ja’Quon Shane Hosein Madaris Obituary – The Port St. Lucie Police Department (PSLPD) reported that a 16-year-old boy drowned beneath a Florida bridge during a fishing trip with friends. The victim, identified as Ja’Quon Shane Hosein Madaris, was fishing with two other teens when they attempted to navigate through a patch of mangroves. Unfortunately, the water became too deep, causing the victim to submerge and not resurface.
The St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team later recovered the juvenile’s body from under the bridge. An investigation is ongoing, with no suspicion of foul play. Ja’Quon’s friend, who tried to rescue him despite his inability to swim, was unable to do so in time. Ja’Quon had recently graduated high school and was focused on developing his fishing and biking YouTube channel. A GoFundMe fundraiser has been initiated by his sister to cover funeral costs, raising over $3,000 at the time of this report.
