ONLY ON 2: Alief man recalls trying to save 15-year-old girl who drowned in community pool
“The first day we go to the pool this summer, this happens,” said Anthony Garza. Anthony Garza spent his Wednesday afternoon at the Clayton Community Pool in Alief with his nephews. He told KPRC2 Reporter Corley Peel, the pool was calm, and several people were swimming. At one point, he noticed an 11-year-old boy rushing over to him for help. Deputies said the boy’s 15-year-old sister was flailing in the water after jumping in the deep end. Deputies said the boy tried to help her, but he was unable to help her. “Next thing I know, the little boy just came and told me she was at the bottom of the pool. We just got her out as quickly as we could,” said Garza.
