Centennial tower lost radar and radio contact with the aircraft, and residents in the area are reporting aircraft debris has hit their residences. SMFR is still searching the area for the airplane.

20:36 - Downed aircraft located west of the subdivision on the SW corner of Ridgegate/Mainstreet & Chambers.
