UPDATE 4:30 PM 6/12/2017: Officials have identified the 17-year-old male recovered from a pond at Pierson Park in Kansas City, Kansas on Sunday.
The Wyandotte County Sheriff's Office says Elmer Adolfo Castro-Sagastume was the teen pulled from the pond. A preliminary autopsy report lists his cause of death as drowning and there is no evidence of criminal intent.
Wyandotte County Sheriff's Spokesperson Kelli Bailiff says officials were alerted about 4:00 a.m. Sunday.
A group of four, mostly juveniles were reportedly at the pond and decided to go swimming.
"Three of them heard one of them yelling for help," said Captain David Thaxton. "And they looked back, they couldn't find them. So they responded, or came back to land, called law enforcement."
The group then came to shore to get help.
Wyandotte County Sheriff, and fire officials, along with Kansas City, Missouri crews are using boats on the water to try to find the teen.
The Overland Park dive team is on the way.
Bailiff says she believes the teen is from Wyandotte County.
