The body of an 11-year-old New York boy who went missing a week ago was found Saturday morning in the Hudson River — two days after his friend’s body was found by police in the Harlem River, according to reports.
Alfa Barrie, 11, and Garrett Warren, 13, were last seen together on surveillance cameras after school in Harlem on May 12, according to FOX 5citing the NYPD.
Warren’s body was found Thursday morning in the Harlem River near the Madison Avenue Bridge.
“We are all going through the same thing, two families losing their children and their little ones at the same time. It’s really sad,” Ahmadou Diallo, Barrie’s uncle, told WCBS-TV on Saturday.

Diallo said Barrie was a “very good” boy. “Curious, loving, charming, always give mom a kiss before he leaves the house.”

Harlem community activist Jackie Rowe-Adams said Warren’s mother broke down when she found out her son was dead on Thursday.
“Incredible, and that’s all the mother kept saying – not her child, that wasn’t her child in the water, she wanted to see her child, she wanted to go see the body, she wanted to see because he wasn’t supposed to be being in that water, and that’s it, you know,” she told the station. “I’m going to tell you honestly, that’s the reaction of a mother who doesn’t believe your child isn’t coming home.”
Police said no foul play was suspected in Warren’s death. The boys’ cause of death has not been released.
