One of the victims presumed to have drowned in Lake Conroe Friday evening was preparing to serve in the U.S. military, family told ABC13.
According to the brother of 26-year-old Nizigiyimana Peragie, the young woman had enlisted in the Army and was enjoying her last week before boot camp when this tragedy happened.
Witnesses told police that they saw a group of people rent a pontoon on Friday before seeing a woman, now identified as Peragie, fall overboard that same watercraft. They said her boyfriend, 24-year-old Nsengiyumva Adrien, jumped in to save her, and neither resurfaced.
