The airplane left Nevada on Sunday afternoon, and was scheduled to arrive in the northern Mexican city of Monterrey on Sunday evening. The jet never showed, prompting a search. Flight controllers lost contact with the plane over Coahuila.

The passengers, according to local news outlet Reforma, had attended a boxing match on Saturday in Las Vegas between Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs.
