Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, Coast Guard and local police continue their search Saturday morning for a missing 22-year-old boater.
Officials said 22-year-old Tyron Robinson was on a 17-foot rental boat about 500 yards north of Belle Island when he entered the water and failed to resurface. Robertson's girlfriend reported him missing after they couldn't find him.
"There were two girls out here and they were crying and I guess he fell off the boat or something or was swimming and just disappeared and I don't know what happened," said Jerry Price, witness.
