SEDONA, Ariz. — A 14-year-old Buena Park boy was killed Tuesday when rain-loosened rocks slid into Oak Creek Canyon north of Sedona, said Coconino County Sheriff’s Investigator Dave Ramos.
Jesse Jornes, who was with a church youth group, was hit on the head by a rock while climbing about 85 feet above the canyon floor, Ramos said.
A few hundred Phoenix-area homes and businesses remained without power Wednesday following storms that pelted the state with wind and rain, killing Jesse and a 15-year-old from Flagstaff, who was struck by lightning.
