Body of Girl Recovered Off Brighton Beach
The body of a 10-year-old girl who disappeared swimming in the ocean at Coney Island was found this morning off the coast of Brighton Beach.
My friend who lives in Coney Island knows the family. The child's name was Akira Johnson, 10. She lived in Far Rockaway but came to the beach to go swimming on Saturday. Powerful riptides pulled her under and she never came back up.
