RedactedNarrative: On July 20, 2020 at approximately 8:54 pm, I (O.F.C.) responded to the Potomac River just outside of Leesylvania State Park, Virginia for a missing operator of a jetski. Upon my arrival, I met with U.S. Coast Guard boat #29107 and Virginia fire boat who reported to me that at approximately 7:50 pm a jetski carrying three people, which was being operated by Operator, overturned in the water and Operator had not surfaced. The following GPS coordinates of 38?35.17N 077?14.46W were given by Virginia fire boat who was in charge of the search efforts on the Potomac River. 
  
  Occupant2, the passenger behind Operator, and Occupant3, the passenger seated behind Occupant2, reported that they were on the jetski being operated by Operator and Occupant3 did not have a life jacket. Fearing for her safety, Occupant3 wanted to go back to shore. Operator assured Occupant3 that she was safe and gave his life jacket to her (Occupant3). As Operator operated the jetski, he began to sway from side to side as he accelerated. Shortly after, Operator made a "quick left turn which caused the jetski to overturn which threw all occupants into the water." 
  
  A pontoon boat who was nearby responded to Occupant2 and Occupant3 and retrieved them from the water. Operator attempted to swim after the jetski and was unsuccessful. At that time, fire and rescue were contacted by unknown witnesses as the pontoon boat headed towards Operator and he (Operator) was seen go under water. Virginia fire boat reported to me that they exhausted all efforts for the evening. I then suspended the search at approximately 11:00 pm until sunrise on July 21, 2020. 
  
  The jetski was identified as a white, silver and blue Seadoo GTX 4-Tech with Florida registration 2668 PB but displayed Virginia validation sticker 4906 CB. I requested a query through Natural Resources Police Communications of the Seadoo which revealed that the registration was under a different make. I searched the Seadoo and discovered that the hull identification number was not present. The Seadoo was photographed by Investigators and released on scene. All events occurred in Charles County, Maryland. 
  
  Victim was a 5' 06", 150 lbs Hispanic Male.  At the time of the accident he was wearing swim trunks with a floral pattern.  He has a tattoo of barbwire on his left bicep and a 1/2 sleeve tattoo on his right forearm.  At the time of the accident he was not wearing a life jacket but is known to be a decent swimmer.  
  
  From the translated written statement, occupant2 states the following happened. "We climbed on the jetski. The driver, I’m in the middle and my friend behind. Him and I brought life jackets. She didn’t bring when we were in the middle of the lake. My friend was scared and he told me to give her his life jacket because he knew how to swim so we stopped there. We were still scared and wanted to get off. That’s when three of us fell in to the left. 
  
  He put himself in front of me because I don’t know how to swim.  That’s when my friend saw a boat and started to scream for help. I thought that no one was going to help. I told him to go to the jetski and he went but he couldn’t reach the jetski. When the people on the boat came to rescue me. I was only able to see his head. They helped us but no one helped me. 
  
  When we got on the boat, I wasn’t able to see him" 
  
  From the translated written statement, Occupant3 states the following happened. "When we got to the Jetski operator was driving it my friend was in the middle and i was in the end. He started to go deeper into the lake and I thought we were going to fall off. I asked him to please let me off because I was very scared, he started laughing then we left. 
  
  He told me to calm down and took off his life jacket. He repeated for me to calm down and I told him to take off the jetski. He started laughing and we were scared. So then we left and He made a left turn when we fell into the water. I started looking to see where I can see a boat to help a hand. They saw us and then the people on the boat came and help. I tried to swim to the direction to the boat. Then the two people helped me get on the boat." The two women had in their possession a black and red gym bag belonging to Operator.  A search was conducted of the gym bag.  Inside the bag was 3 empty cans of Modelo beer, 5 unopened cans of Modelo beer, two bottles of unopened water, a pair of flip flops, a pair of soccer cleats, and a set of shin guards.  In an outside pouch was a cell phone and a set of keys.  The Jet Ski was photographically documented next.  The Jet ski was a white Seadoo with a blue seat. Florida registration numbers of FL 2668PB were being displayed with a Virginia registration decal. The VA decal displayed a registration number of  VA 4906CB.  Inside the storage compartment were 2 kill switch ignition keys, a roll of black duct tape and a pair of sunglasses.
