Teen drowns in Sacramento River trying to rescue brother

Sand Cove Park along the Sacramento River is normally a nice place to spend a Sunday, but for the Sashe family, it is now a tragic reminder of how unforgiving fast-moving waters can be. According to Yolanda Sashe, she and her family frequently go there to spend time. Her sons, Amari and Elijah, were playing football on the beach with no plans to go into the water until their ball ended up in the river.
