The brothers, identified as Josue and Jefferson Perez, according to KHOU, were last seen in chest-deep or waist-deep water, officials said. No one confirmed seeing the boys, who did not know how to swim, go underwater. 

"So essentially what happened is they were out in the water, the parents briefly lost sight of them, and they looked back up into that area, and they did not see them any longer," Lt. Austin Kirwin with Galveston Beach Patrol told FOX 26 Houston.
