The identities of the mother and daughter aboard the medical jet that crashed in Philadelphia on January 31 have been confirmed. The aircraft, a Learjet 55, took off from Northeast Philadelphia Airport but crashed into a residential area shortly after reaching 1,500 feet.
All six onboard perished, including 11-year-old Valentina Guzman Murillo and her mother, Lizeth Murillo Ozuna, 31. Valentina had just undergone life-saving treatment and was returning home. A spokesperson for her hospital described the loss as heartbreaking, noting that staff had bid her farewell that day.
The crew members—Captain Alan Alejandro Montoya Perales, Copilot Josue de Jesus Juarez Juarez, Dr. Raul Meza Arredondo, and paramedic Rodrigo Lopez Padilla—were also killed.
Additionally, a person on the ground died when the plane crashed into their car. The disaster injured 22 others, three critically, and caused significant damage to 11 homes. Officials urge anyone missing loved ones in the area to contact emergency services.
