According to a statement issued by the TPWD to DailyTrib, Jaramillo-Macedo went missing on the afternoon of Monday, Aug. 10, after witnesses reported that they saw him submerge and not resurface while using a personal watercraft on Lake LBJ. 

The initial search began around 5 p.m. on Monday, with operations ceasing in the night. Work resumed at around 7 a.m. on Tuesday, and Jaramillo-Macedo’s body was found shortly before noon. 

“Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Jaramillo’s family and friends during this difficult time,” reads the TPWD statement.

TPWD officers, and members of the Granite Shoals Police Department, Lower Colorado River Authority, Horseshoe Bay Police Department, Sunrise Beach Fire Department, and Kingsland Volunteer Fire Department assisted in the search.
