Aloha said park rangers had told him about the drowning and to look out for anything that may contain footage of an African American man.

Alpoah actually found the camera. He googled the story and tracked down the family and personally delivered the footage to the family. The family was extremely grateful.

The family had previously gotten a thumb drive from the park rangers a few weeks after his death but when they opened the mail the thumb drive had been stolen and they were devastated. In the video, Ragland is having a good time swimming with friends. Sidenote, the reporter in this video Jovita Moore has passed.
