The young patient and five others killed when their plane crashed into a Philadelphia neighborhood moments after takeoff Friday evening have been identified — as authorities made a disturbing discovery about the jet’s black box.
Valentina Guzman Murillo, 11, her mother, Lizeth Murillo Ozuna, 31, Capt. Alan Alejandro Montoya Perales, co-pilot Josue de Jesus Juarez Juarez, Dr. Raul Meza Arredondo and paramedic Rodrigo Lopez Padilla died in the Mexico-bound Learjet 55 aircraft crash, said the company operating the medical transport flight, Jet Rescue Air, to CBS News.
Valentina suffered from spina bifida and had just finished receiving treatment for such ailments as a pressure sore at Shriners Children’s Hospital, according to a woman on Facebook who said she helped get the child to the US for the “desperately needed medical care.
“She had numerous health challenges and was very frail,” Susan Marie Fasino wrote in her heartbreaking post. “The plan was to bring [Valentina and her mom] home to live out the rest of [Valentina’s] life surrounded with love and with her adoring family.

“Her mother was one of the most adoring attentive mothers a child could ever have,” Fasino said.
“They lived every moment together and they entered eternity together.”
A relative said, “Our hearts are in pieces.
“With all the pain in the world and on behalf of my family, I want to thank you for each of your messages and calls,” wrote the kin, Fabi Guzman, on social media, according to The Sun.
“We are going through a very painful time,” Guzman said. “I ask for prayers and eternal rest for my girls.”
Hospital rep Mel Bower said, “It’s extremely hard and extremely difficult.
“Those that were involved directly in her care were very aware that she was going to be traveling home and there had actually been a sendoff for her.”
Mexico’s president has confirmed that all six victims onboard were Mexican citizens.
“I regret the death of six Mexicans in the plane crash in Philadelphia. The consular authorities are in permanent contact with the families,” President Claudia Sheinbaum wrote on X on Saturday morning.
The seventh person killed was in a car as debris from the Learjet 55 crash exploded into the neighborhood. This victim has not yet been identified.
