Music agent Dave Shapiro, co-founder of Sound Talent Group, is among six people presumed dead after a private jet crashed in a San Diego neighborhood early Thursday morning.
Dave Shapiro, a prominent U.S. music agent and co-founder of Sound Talent Group, was killed in a small plane crash in San Diego, California, on Thursday. The 42-year-old was one of six people on board the private aircraft that went down in Murphy Canyon during heavy fog.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed that all six individuals are presumed dead. Shapiro, who held a pilot’s license, was listed as the plane's owner.
Sound Talent Group confirmed the loss of Shapiro and said two other employees were also aboard the jet. Their names have not yet been released.
"We are devastated by the loss of our co-founder, colleagues, and friends. Our hearts go out to their families and to everyone impacted by today's tragedy," the agency said in a statement.
Daniel Williams, former drummer of the metal band The Devil Wears Prada, is also believed to have been on board. According to the Associated Press, Williams posted on social media shortly before the flight, indicating he was traveling with Shapiro. The band later honored him with a tribute, writing: "No words. We owe you everything. Love you forever."
Shapiro founded Sound Talent Group in 2018. The agency represented a diverse roster of artists including Hanson, Vanessa Carlton, and Sum 41.
The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the cause of the crash.
