INDIANAPOLIS – Search efforts for two missing kayakers were suspended Wednesday night and will resume Thursday morning. Indiana DNR Conservation Officers began their mission after the pair of kayakers went missing Tuesday night on the White River in Indianapolis.
At around 8:30 p.m., Marcus Robinson, 30, and Solomon Shirley, 22, both of Indianapolis, were kayaking when they traveled over the remnants of a low-head dam near the 2000 block of North White River Parkway Drive West. A witness observed both men being ejected into the water.
Search efforts began using shore- and water-based operations, unmanned aerial vehicles, and a helicopter.
The Indianapolis Fire Department, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, Pike Township Fire Department, and Indiana State Police are assisting Indiana DNR in the search.
