Texas ‘Dreamer’ from Mexico killed volunteering during Harvey floods
A hero “Dreamer” was found dead by his heartbroken family Sunday after his boat capsized in the storm-swollen bayou waters of Houston.
Mexico-born Alonso Guillen, 31, braved the surging Harvey floods Wednesday during a midnight rescue mission with two friends. Their vessel hit a bridge and sank in Cypress Creek, according to the Houston Chronicle.
A second person, 25-year-old Tomas Carreon Jr., was also killed and found floating in the river, officials said.
Guillen’s father, Jesus Guillen, kept watch from shore with other family members until his son’s body was spotted floating downstream Sunday. Another relative jumped into the water to grab him, the paper reported.
