A 5-year-old boy who was pulled from Lake Michigan Tuesday night at Pennoyer Park in Kenosha has died, Kenosha police said Wednesday.

The Kenosha Fire Department said it was called at 5:57 p.m. to a report of an 8-year-old child who was struggling in the water near drowning.

This child was secured, taken to an area hospital and is doing well, according to Kenosha police.

The family then realized that a 5-year-old boy had disappeared from their group.

At 6:17 p.m. the call was upgraded and other departments were called to assist, including Kenosha Police and Kenosha County Dive Crews.

At 7:02 p.m., the 5-year-old child was found in the water, firefighters said.

The boy was pulled from the lake unresponsive and taken to an area hospital.

A person in the area had a drone and helped search and locate the missing boy in the water.

The victim’s family are mostly Spanish-speaking and were unwilling to speak to WISN 12 News crews on camera.

Witnesses said the family were part of a large crowd playing and swimming at a dangerous part of the beach, where there are rip currents. Currents form where a channel meets Lake Michigan.

“So (the currents) come in and out, it’s a complete rip, it’s a complete current that takes you into the lake,” said Garrett Devoe, who watched the scene unfold. “There need to be a lot more signs here, in Spanish and English. They need to block this, you shouldn’t be able to swim freely here.”

Kenosha Mayor John Antaramian released a statement Wednesday saying, in part, “I offer my sympathy and prayers to the family. This tragic death is a reminder of the ever-changing flow of the Pike River into Lake Michigan and the dangerous undercurrent of the lake.. The city has applied for a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation as we continue to seek solutions.
