His body was found about an hour later.
Officials warned everyone to wear a life jacket when in or near the water.
Perez’s death comes just days after Demetrio Perriatt, a 16-year-old high school baseball star, drowned in the same area while trying to retrieve a raft that had been blown by the wind.
