ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Efforts to recover Zy’Jae St. Pierre, the 5-year-old boy who fell into the Genesee River, have entered a ninth day.

Rochester Police have been searching the river with scuba teams, drones, and foot patrols. The community has come together to help with the search and offer their support at a memorial on the Andrews Street Bridge, where the boy fell on Sunday, June 1.

RPD said the search efforts on Monday, and likely throughout the week, will involve the department’s smaller “zodiac-type” boat. The boat will patrol the area between High Falls and Lower Falls.

Other agencies, including the Rochester Fire Department, Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, and the Department of Environmental Conservation, will also use their marine units to help with the search. RPD said the search plans are subject to change based on the latest information.

RPD says any rumors on social media over the weekend claiming that Zy’Jae has been recovered are false.

The boy was with his mother and younger sibling when he ran ahead, climbed over the railing on the bridge, and fell 50 feet. Since then, boats have been on the river every day searching for Zy’Jae. Check back for updates on the search.
