San Diego plane crash kills 2 rock musicians

Two prominent figures in the music industry were among those killed when a private plane crashed into a San Diego neighborhood early Thursday morning, authorities confirmed.

Dave Shapiro, a veteran music agent and co-founder of Sound Talent Group, and Daniel Williams, former drummer of the metalcore band The Devil Wears Prada, were identified as among the fatalities in the May 22 crash.

The aircraft reportedly struck a power line before slamming into a residential home, which burst into flames upon impact.

The Federal Aviation Administration said six people were onboard the plane, all of whom are presumed dead. Authorities are continuing to comb through the wreckage to recover remains and have not yet released the full list of victims pending identification.

"No words. We owe you everything. Love you forever," The Devil Wears Prada wrote in a tribute to Williams, who joined the band in 2016.

Shapiro, known for his work with acts such as Sum 41, was also mourned by colleagues across the industry.

Despite the crash occurring in a residential area, no local residents were killed. Eight people were transported to the hospital with smoke inhalation and other non-life-threatening injuries, including one person who injured themselves climbing out of a window, according to San Diego police officer Anthony Carrasco.

The cause of the crash is under investigation by the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.
