The pilot was identified as Armando Cervantes while the names of the two passengers have not been released.
Mexican President Andrés López Obrador revealed during his daily morning press conference that the pilot kept the helicopter under control to prevent it from crashing into residences.
'I want to send my condolences to the families of the deceased, and a tribute to the pilot because everything indicates that he maneuvered to avoid falling where there were homes with families,' López Obrador said.
Adriana Godoy told Mexican news outlet Milenio that she peaked out her apartment window and spotted the helicopter flying low right before the pilot turned to avoid colliding with homes.
'The pilot was very brave. He avoided falling on us because he could have fallen on the avenue,' Godoy said. 'He made a U-turn turn, went down and at that point he went into a tailspin until he completely plummeted.'
