US EditionSacramento teen who drowned while trying to rescue brother honored with Carnegie Medal
- On June 4, 2023, 15-year-old Amari Quarles, a Natomas High School student, died at Sand Cove Park along the Sacramento River while attempting to rescue his 13-year-old brother, Elijah, from a strong current.
- Elijah was pulled almost 100 feet from the bank after going into the river to retrieve a football, prompting Amari to jump in after him.
- Amari pushed Elijah to keep him out of a stronger current but was unable to get to safety himself, with his body later being recovered.
- Amari's father, James Sashe, remembered Amari telling Elijah, 'One of us is going to have to go under and I’m going to make sure it’s not you,' and wants to share Amari's story of selflessness and heroism with schools across the country.
- Nearly two years after his death, Amari Quarles is being posthumously honored with the Carnegie Medal for Heroism, the highest honor for civilian heroism in the United States and Canada, and a scholarship has been created in his honor for graduating seniors at Natomas High School.
