From the E News article:
"While details on the cause of the crash are pending, Accuweather Vice President of Forecasting Operations Dan DePodwin, weather conditions at the Statesville airport were “adverse,” the Observer reported.

Heavy drizzle and a cloud ceiling near 1,200 feet were reported at 10:15 a.m,” DePodwin said, per the outlet. “The cloud ceiling had reportedly lowered to around 400 feet, with heavy rain reducing visibility to less than 2 miles at 10:30 a.m.”"

No conspiracies. Probably weather and possibly pilot error.
