Adonis Jackson Near-Drowning Incident | Washington DC News

A six-year-old soccer camper, Adonis Jackson, was found at the bottom of a pool at a Nike camp on the University of the District of Columbia campus — sparking an urgent investigation after a near-drowning incident. With nearly 30 kids in the pool, the lifeguard was reportedly on lunch break when the emergency unfolded. The head coach stepped in to save him, initiating CPR. The university has placed key staff, including the athletics director and aquatics manager, on administrative leave while Dr. Ruthie Little-Berry takes over athletics operations. Adonis remains hospitalized, intubated and sedated, as his family demands full accountability and transparency. The pool is closed until safety protocols are reviewed and restored.
