Sounds like 1 fatal. Sucks.

The tower he apparently hit, which is a KCBD broadcast tower at the station, was 4014' and his approach segment (assuming he was on one of the two RNAV 35L approaches) is 4700.

Image attached shows the tower I think he hit with the RNAV 35L overlaid in FF.

LiveATC doesn't have any audio streams at all from around 7:30 CST tonight. That feed is down now and may have been down then as well.

Didn't see a complete tail number.

That is a shame. Rest in peace and thoughts of strength to the family. What a bad week our community is having. :/
 
301D, flightaware shows him doing a figure D, assuming RNAV 35 approach, he was at least 700ft below his min altitude
