The search was called off for a little girl presumed drown in Coney Island on Saturday evening. Ten-year-old Akira Johnson vanished around 5:30PM on Saturday while swimming near W. 23rd Street. She “was one of seven presumed drowning victims during a weekend of mayhem at city and Long Island beaches. The drownings appear to be linked to rip currents from ‘long-period’ waves produced by winds out of the south, according to the National Weather Service. Akira was swimming with her cousin Tyriek about 5:30 p.m. near W. 23rd St. when rough currents sucked them into the sea. Lifeguards were able to rescue Tyriek.”–NYDN
