One was from Mexico and the other was from Guatemala. The remains of four others are still unaccounted for.
Early Tuesday morning, a group of workers was on their overnight shift, filling potholes, and doing routine surface work on Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge when the unthinkable happened.
Among those presumed dead, was Maynor Yassir Suazo Sandoval, 38, a Honduran national, one of eight siblings, a husband and a father of two.
Maynor’s brother, Carlos Suazo Sandoval, is desperately waiting for any updates from officials.
Miguel Luna was a father of three, an immigrant from El Salvador, also presumed dead.
The non-profit Casa announced Luna was a member of their group, which provides services to working class families from marginalized communities, including immigrants.
Casa said luna lived in Maryland for over 19 years. Dorlian Castillo Cabrera, 26, was an immigrant from Guatemala -- found dead earlier today.
His sister-in-law told CNN he loved his job as a construction worker. His cousin added that Dorlian came to the united states to follow his dream and help his mother.
The Guatemalan government confirmed another immigrant from that country was among the missing -- but did not provide details.
Maryland's governor said he prayed with the families of victims yesterday.
Mexico's president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, said three Mexican nationals were also on the bridge when it collapsed. Two died and one survived.
Seven of the eight people on the bridge that night worked for local construction company Brawner Builders.
An official for the company the victims all worked for says he is going to make sure the families are well taken care of.
