LONG BEACH (CNS) – A 53-year-old man who was last seen in the ocean off Long Beach after falling off a jet ski remained missing Monday.
Paul Anthony Carbullido was last seen about 7 p.m. Sunday in the ocean east of the Queens Gate Entrance channel “after separating from a personal watercraft,” according to the Long Beach Police Department.
Police said Carbullido, who fell from a jet ski while riding with a group of other people, is at-risk, but did not elaborate.
A woman who also fell into the water managed to swim to the breakwater and was rescued by lifeguards, Long Beach Fire Department Capt. Jack Crabtree told City News Service.
The emergency was first reported at about 10 p.m. Sunday with a 911 call describing a group of people who went out on jet skis and realized two of their group were missing, Crabtree said.
The woman in her 40s swam to the rocks that make up the breakwater between Queen’s Gate and LA Light, where the skipper of a 20-foot power boat heard her screams at about 10:30 p.m., Crabtree said. The skipper called 911 and Long Beach lifeguards rescued the woman. She was then transferred to an LAFD fire boat and taken to an awaiting ambulance to be taken to a hospital.
The missing jet skis were recovered outside the breakwater, Crabtree said. One was found at 1:15 a.m. Monday and the other at 1:45 a.m.
Four LBFD fire boats, some LBPD boats, a U.S. Coast Guard vessel and a Coast Guard helicopter continued the search for the missing man, Crabtree said.
Carbullido was described as white, 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing 280 pounds and has red hair and hazel eyes. He was wearing a long black shirt, long black basketball shorts and black sandals when he went missing.
He has Carbullido tattooed across his stomach, a wolf on his left shoulder, a Lakers logo on his upper back and various skulls on his chest.
Anyone with information was urged to call the LBPD Missing Persons Detail at 562-570-7246 or LBPD Dispatch at 562- 435-6711.
