All three of the plane’s occupants were determined to be dead at the scene, according to the FAA. They have been identified as 60-year-old Jasbir Khurana, his wife 54-year-old Divya Khurana, and the couple’s 19-year-old daughter, Kiran Khurana.

No one on the ground was injured, the FAA says.

The crash is under investigation by the FAA and members of the National Transportation Safety Board.
