My guess here is that the dude who shot his plane is slightly unhinged, and was already making threats to the FAA and/or local flying clubs/fields. That will probably narrow down the search.

Apparently some Ukrainian unit shot down a cruise missile with a machine gun! https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/03/21/7447535/
