Body of sixth victim in Baltimore Key Bridge collapse pulled from water

The Unified Command salvage teams have located the body of another victim of the Francis Scott Key Bridge disaster, bringing the total number of causalities to six.

Maryland State Police investigators identified the victim as Jose Mynor Lopez, 37, of Baltimore.

Investigators from the Maryland State Police, along with an FBI Victim Specialist and linguist, and a team of mental health professionals notified family members after a positive identification was confirmed.

“With heavy hearts, today marks a significant milestone in our recovery efforts and providing closure to the loved ones of the six workers who lost their lives in this tragic event,” said Colonel Roland L. Butler, Jr., Superintendent of the Maryland Department of State Police. “As we mourn with the families, we honor the memory of José Mynor López, Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval, Carlos Daniel Hernandez Estrella, and Miguel Angel Luna Gonzalez.”

According to reports, rescuers are still searching for multiple people, while two survivors have been pulled from the Patapsco River. A work crew was fixing potholes on the bridge, which is used by roughly 30,000 people each day, when the ship struck at around 1:30am.

The discovery comes weeks after the Sri Lanka-bound Dali container ship struck the Key Bridge, causing it to collapse on the night of Mar. 26, leaving six construction workers dead.

Less than a week ago, authorities announced a fifth victim’s body had been recovered from the wreckage. Miguel Angel Luna Gonzalez, 49, of Glen Burnie was recovered after divers spotted a red construction vehicle in the river and alerted the Maryland Department of State.

“We remain dedicated to the ongoing recovery operations while knowing behind each person lost in this tragedy lies a loving family,” Butler, Jr., said in a previous press release. “Along with our local, state and federal partners, we ask that everyone extend their deepest sympathies and support to the families during this difficult time.”

Jeremi Tremblay's hat trick sends Maryland to Robertson Cup Championship Game

BLAINE, Minn. — The Maryland Black Bears will play for the Robertson Cup after earning a 6-2 win over Minot Saturday night at Fogerty Arena.

The win secures a two-game sweep for the Black Bears, who will play the Lone Star Brahmas for the prestigious Robertson Cup on Tuesday at 7 p.m.

Maryland went 3-for-6 on the power play and Sacred Heart commit Jeremi Tremblay scored three times, propelling his team to victory.

Owen Lepak also played a key role for the winning squad, as the Michigan native stopped 46 of the 48 shots the Minotauros fired his way.

Maryland opened scoring late in the first period with its first of the three power-play tallies. Holy Cross commit Matthew Croxall sent a cross-ice pass to Tremblay, who fired a shot past Minot netminder Brady James from the left circle.

The Minotauros tied things up early in the second period as Nick Sewecke sent a rebound past Lepak, which started on a shot from defenseman Colby Woogk.

However, it didn’t take long for the Black Bears to take the lead again. Maryland won an offensive-zone faceoff and Dylan Gordon skated the puck around the left circle, pushing his way to the front of the crease and sliding the puck past James.

Maryland took a two-goal lead later in the second period thanks to a bit of penalty trouble from the Minotaurous.

The Black Bears had a full two-minute 5-on-3 powerplay as Will Dawson was sent to the box for hooking and Chad Muller was penalized for head contact. Tremblay tallied his second goal of the game from on the ensuing man-advantage.

Air Force commit Sam Stitz further increased the Maryland lead in the third period as he clapped a shot into the back of the net for another power-play strike.

Minot attempted to make a comeback in the final minutes of regulation, and Cayden Casey did score a goal, but that wouldn’t prove to be enough in the 6-2 loss. Maryland tacked on two empty-net goals to finish the contest, including Tremblay’s third of the night.

In addition to Tremblay’s two goals, Dimitry Kebreau registered three assists and Cal Huston had two in the victory. The Minotauros went 0-for-5 on the man advantage.
