A car was pulled from a retention pond Saturday near Cunningham Creek Elementary School, according to the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office.
The mother of Jahvaun Carriere, 18, tells News4Jax that the body pulled from the car is her son's.
Carriere's mother, although too emotional to speak on camera, spent several hours at the scene. She said Jahvaun and his twin brother, Andre, did everything together. She said the boys come from a military family and Jahvaun had just become a merchant mariner. She said she felt comfort knowing her son was in a better place.
The Sheriff's Office said it received a call at 1 p.m. Saturday about a car in the pond.
Police believe the driver of the car kept going straight and didn't negotiate the slight curve in the road.
Police are trying to retrace the victim's steps from last night to determine when the accident happened. They said one person was inside the car at the time of the accident.
People who live in the neighborhood were devastated.
"I never, never imagined, thought this would happen in a pond outside my neighborhood. I can't imagine riding our bikes to Cunningham Creek knowing this has happened," said Kashmira Bharucha
