RedactedNarrative: On August 26, 2017 at 21:07 Officer and I were dispatched to the area of Tim’s River Shore in the Potomac River in reference to a small silver boat taking on water with possibly two people on board. Upon further information received, the location of the vessel was possibly closer to Leeslyvania State Park near the Virginia side of the Potomac River. Officer and I proceeded to the closest boat station located at Smallwood State Park. After arriving at Smallwood State park at 21:57, I made contact with Charles County Fire personnel at Smallwood and he provided us with an update of the ongoing search. He advised that one person made it to the Virginia shore and the other passenger was still missing. 
  
       Officer and I boarded the patrol vessel and proceeded toward Tim’s River Shore to assist in the search of the missing person. Once in the area, we made contact with a Coast Guard (USCG) boat to update them and obtain any additional information. After contact with USCG, I made contact with a Prince William County Fire boat, where he advised the one survivor that made it to shore was located at Tim’s Restaurant, in the parking lot. 
  
       At 22:40, Officer and I docked the boat at Tim’s, and attempted to locate the survivor or any eye witnesses of the incident. A Prince William County Officer directed me to the male Hispanic subject. The survivor was still shaken up from the incident and worried about his friend, the missing man. I asked Survivor to describe to me what happened. Survivor said that he was on the beach on the Virginia shore(Cockpit Point) having a cookout with some family and friends, when his friend decided to take the boat for a ride so Survivor joined him. 
  
  The boat, described as a black 12’ Jon boat with a small outboard motor was being operated by Victim with Survivor riding as the passenger. Survivor said Victim was playing around doing circles in the boat about 100 yards off of the Cockpit Point shoreline. Survivor said he told Victim to stop, but Victim continued operating recklessly resulting in the vessel striking the fuel dock. 
  
  After striking the dock, Victim began to head out farther into the river. Once they headed out further from shore, the vessel somehow ended up taking on water, ultimately forcing the two into the water. With no life jackets on at the time that the boat sank, or in the vessel, they decided to swim for the lights on the fuel dock just off of Cockpit Point. Survivor was able to swim to the pilings of the fuel dock and grab ahold. Survivor said he looked back to try and see if Victim was behind him, but it was dark. Survivor said he could hear Victim calling for help, but could not see him, and eventually could not hear Victim.  Survivor then followed the pier to the shore where he was met by friends and family on the beach near Tim’s Restaurant. 
   
       Shortly after interviewing Survivor, Victim’s wife arrived on scene accompanied by her friend who was able to translate. I advised them of the ongoing search efforts, and that Victim was still missing. After gathering all the information I could, Officer and I continued to search the shoreline and surface of the last known location of Victim. We proceeded to Smallwood State Park, met with officers to secure the recovered vessel that was involved. Once arriving at Smallwood, I met with the Investigator. The vessel was stored in the gated dry storage at Smallwood State Park. I was clear of the scene at 02:00 on 8/27/2017. 
  
       All events occurred in Prince William County, Virginia and Charles County Maryland.
