A newlywed from Texas, Will Byler and Bailee Ackerman Byler, was killed on Saturday in a helicopter crash outside their wedding reception in Uvalde, Texas.

Houston TV station KTRK reports that Will Byler and Bailee Byler were married on Saturday night at a ranch in Uvalde, about 80 miles (125 kilometers) west of San Antonio. Byler’s grandfather, William Byler, tells the TV station that the couple died when a helicopter that had departed the wedding reception crashed.

The newspaper of the university the couple both attended, Sam Houston State University, made the announcement of the tragedy. The Houstonian wrote on Facebook:

"It is with deepest sadness that we announce the tragic passing of two Bearkats Will Byler (Agriculture Engineering senior) and Bailee Ackerman Byler (Agricultural Communication senior) in a helicopter accident departing their wedding,

We ask that you keep the Byler and Ackerman families in your thoughts and prayers."

In a statement shared via Facebook on Sunday, the Uvalde County Sheriff’s Office said:

 "We received a call from an aviation monitoring center of a possible down aircraft in the area of Northwest Uvalde County.

After further investigation, Uvalde Co. Sheriff’s Office Deputies received coordinates of a possible more direct location of the aircraft in distress,” the statement said. “TX DPS Troopers, Game Wardens, Border Patrol, Uvalde Vol. Fire Dept, and Uvalde EMS arrived in the vicinity of Chalk Bluff Park off HWY 55 to assist with the search. Upon break of day, the accident location was found and the Texas Dept. of Public Safety and the Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the scene."
