Nuevo León Prosecutors Say Instructor Was Flying Cessna 150M in Fatal García Crash

Prosecutors clarified that instructor Bryan Leonardo Ballesteros Argueta, not journalist Débora Estrella, was at the controls.

Overview

  • The state Fiscalía identified the aircraft as a Cessna 150M used for training and said it may belong to Centros de Estudios Aeronáuticos de Mazatlán A.C.
  • Officials reported the plane carried no flight recorder, limiting investigators’ access to onboard data or audio.
  • Authorities said federal experts will examine the nearby helicopter’s presence while state investigators handle autopsies and secure the wreckage.
  • The Sept. 20 crash near Parque Industrial Ciudad Mitras in García, Nuevo León, killed Estrella and Ballesteros during a lesson flight.
  • The Chamber of Deputies observed a minute of silence for Estrella as colleagues and friends shared public tributes and final messages.
