A source reported:
“He (Avonte) had a huge fear of dogs and was seen running from one in Hunter’s Point South Park, a short walk from his school. He may have run in a panic and fallen into the water, of which he was also terrified.”
On Thursday night, a left arms, along with pieces of a torso, and two legs (still in their jeans and sneakers) washed up on College Point. A medical examiner has not confirmed the remains as Oquendo and a dna match will take serval days.
Prayers go out to Avonte Oquendo’s family.
