Hero Aamina Bradley saved her little cousin… but the river took her.

A 14-year-old girl who didn’t think twice before jumping into the Detroit River to rescue her 9-year-old cousin has died — and her father’s gut-wrenching words are breaking hearts across the country.

Aamina Bradley was identified as the teen who drowned Saturday evening, June 27, 2026, near Maheras-Gentry Park on Detroit’s east side. Her quick, selfless actions saved her younger cousin’s life… but powerful river currents pulled Aamina under before she could make it back to shore.

Bystanders were able to pull the 9-year-old cousin out safely. Aamina never resurfaced.
