Two college students have been killed after being swept off a Santa Cruz County beach and into the sea by rising tides.
The victims were identified by Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office as Harshita Nair, 21, and Mahial Sran, 20, both from Fremont, California.
The two women graduated together from Washington High School in 2023.
Both were set to get their college degree in 2027, Nair in legal studies at UC Berkeley and Sran in public health and psychology at San José State University.
Nair hoped to work in law and public service to directly help communities and expand their access to opportunity.
