JOHNSON LAKE — A 29-year-old Lexington man drowned in Johnson Lake Friday evening.
The search for Gilberto David Salcedo began at 8:47 p.m. Friday when the Gosper County Sheriff’s Office was called to the lake. Witnesses said a swimmer had gone under the water but did not resurface. The search was suspended at 10:35 p.m. because of high winds and thunderstorms in the area, according to the sheriff’s office.
The search resumed Saturday morning. Salcedo’s body was found in a 9-foot-deep swimming area of the lake at 8:30 a.m. No drugs or alcohol are suspected, the sheriff’s office said.
The search was conducted by personnel from Gosper County, Lexington Fire and Rescue, Elwood Fire and Rescue, Johnson Lake Fire and Rescue and the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.
