ENO RIVER STATE PARK (WTVD) -- Authorities identified a Raleigh teen who drowned in a quarry on the Eno River Thursday.

Lamont Burt, 17, was pulled from the water just after 8 p.m.

Emergency crews responded to the scene of a possible drowning in a quarry on the Eno River along the Durham-Orange County line just before 5 p.m.

Video from Chopper 11 showed divers in the water and a group of swimmers on the banks.

This is the same spot where a teenager drowned in 2007.

The Wake County school district said Burt recently graduated from Broughton High School.
