Iredell County Sheriff’s Office deputies recovered the body of a missing teenager from Lake Norman on Wednesday afternoon.

Sheriff Darren Campbell announced that the body of Angel Ernesto Carabello, 14, was found by deputies who deployed an Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to assist in the search.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with Angel’s family during this time,” Campbell said in a social media post.

Multiple ICSO personnel, including drone teams, Lake Patrol Units and patrol deputies, responded to the area of Stutts Road, where the teen was reportedly last seen early Wednesday afternoon, to assist with the search effort.
