Orlando City Founding Owner Wayne Estopinal Killed in Plane Crash

News broke this afternoon that a founding owner of Orlando City SC, Wayne Estopinal, has died in a plane crash in Indiana.

Reports surfaced this afternoon that a small plane had crashed in southern Indiana, 16 miles north of Louisville, KY, in a heavily-wooded area at around 11:30 a.m. Central Time. The plane, a Cessna Citation C525 private jet, was carrying three people aboard, including the pilot, and was registered to Esto Air, LLC, a company managed by Estopinal.

Estopinal was a founding owner of Orlando City when Phil Rawlins brought the club into existence in Austin in 2010.
