The twin-engine Cessna was flying from McKinney, Texas, to Tampa when it went down Wednesday afternoon about 20 miles west of Port Richey. Shortly after, debris was found.
The Federal Aviation Administration says air traffic controllers in Jacksonville lost radio and radar contact with the plane after it reported turbulence at 1:52 p.m.
Records indicate the plane is owned by Q4 Aviation in Carrollton, Texas. The passengers' identities haven't been released.
