Charles Michael Porter, 14, was drowned Sunday evening when he was trying to retrieve a truck bed liner that had floated away in floodwaters.
Investigators said Porter was sucked into a drainage pipe by the rushing water from a torrential rain. His body was found shortly after 2 a.m. Monday in a drainage ditch a few blocks away.
Family and friends were on the streets today, including this young woman at the intersection of Highland and Caraway, soliciting donations to cover the boy's funeral expenses.
