INDIANAPOLIS — On Monday, the body of one of the men who went missing on April 16 in White River was found.

22-year-old Solomon Shirley's body was found by a citizen and called into dispatchers. Soon after, members of IFD and DNR recovered his body.

Shirley and 30-year-old Marcus Robinson went missing on April 16 around 8:30 p.m. after their kayaks overturned near Belmont Beach.

Monday evening, conservation officers said they believe they recovered Robinson in the water near 10th Street, although the coroner's office has yet to confirm.
