HOUSTON – The pilot who was killed when a small plane crashed into a community center in Katy has been identified, according to the Harris County Precinct 5 Constable's Office. 

The pilot has been identified as 69-year-old Noshir Medhora.

The incident happened around 10:30 a.m. Saturday at the community center in the Nottingham Country neighborhood off Kingsland Boulevard and Houghton Road. 

"The debris field stems from the back of that building where a large portion of the plane extended in the water and that whole playground area,” said Pct 5 Constable Ted Heap.

Home surveillance video captured the moment the plane crashed into the community pool.
