Search for Missing Brothers Intensifies | Winnipeg News

Two missing brothers, 13-year-old Aaron and 10-year-old Maximo Au Ramirez, are still unaccounted for after Maximo fell into Nutimik Lake and Aaron tried to save him. Now on day five, an unprecedented search effort is underway — with sonar, underwater drones, and dozens of volunteers from across Manitoba, including the Hutterian Emergency Aquatic Response Team and local fire departments. Community support has been overwhelming: cottagers are offering lodging, local businesses are feeding crews, and an aunt and uncle from Mexico have arrived to comfort the family. A GoFundMe has raised over $49,000 toward a $65,000 goal to cover funeral and travel costs. Adding to the emotional weight, the mother of a boy lost in a similar tragedy last year visited the site to offer solidarity — a poignant moment of shared grief and hope amid the relentless search.
