Nine people were killed on Wednesday after a private aircraft crashed while making an emergency landing at Las Americas Airport in the Dominican Republic’s capital Santo Domingo, according to the plane’s operator, Helidosa Aviation Group, writes CNN.

Seven passengers and two crew members died in the incident, it said in a statement posted to Twitter. Six were foreign nationals and one was Dominican, it also said, without specifying the nationalities of the other six passengers.

Among the victims was Puerto Rican music producer Jose A. Hernandez, better known as “Flow La Movie”, as well as his wife and their child, according to his publicist.

Hernandez was mainly known for his hit song “Te Bote”.

His death sparked messages of condolences and commemoration from a number of Puerto Rican and other Latin artists, including superstar J Balvin and famed pop singer Ricardo Montaner.
