Brandon Pino, a 17-year-old boy, has been missing since he allegedly jumped from the Staten Island Ferry on May 31. Witnesses and family report that he left a note beforehand and was in a seemingly good mood lately. Brandon's sister, Cathleen, shared that he had been engaging with friends and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, raising concerns about his sudden decision to jump. NYPD units are actively searching the waterway and shoreline following the incident, and additional context has emerged regarding Brandon's state of mind prior to the event.
"Officers from the 1st Precinct, along with the NYPD's Harbor Unit, SCUBA team, Emergency Services Unit and Aviation responded to the scene and are currently canvassing the waterway and shoreline."
"His friends told me that they had seen that he was [happier] than usual at school lately. It seems very odd because he was being himself, which was eating, cooking for himself, cooking his healthy food, going to the gym, going to school early."
