Former The Devil Wears Prada drummer Daniel Williams and talent agent Dave Shapiro were both killed in a fatal plane crash in San Diego on May 22.

At least two people are dead and eight others were injured after a small plane crashed in Southern California, striking more than a dozen homes and vehicles in a military housing neighborhood, authorities announced.

The metalcore band paid tribute to Williams and Shapiro in an emotional post shared to its social media pages on May 22. Williams and Shapiro were reportedly 39 and 42, respectively, at the time of their deaths.

“♥️ no words. We owe you everything. Love you forever,” the band wrote.

Sound Talent Group, the music agency Shapiro co-founded, confirmed his death in a statement to USA TODAY. Two other employees were also killed in the crash.

“We are devastated by the loss of our co-founder, colleagues and friends,” a spokesperson said. “Our hearts go out to their families and to everyone impacted by today’s tragedy. Thank you so much for respecting their privacy at this time.”

In the early hours of May 22, a Cessna 550 crashed near Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport in San Diego at about 3:45 a.m. local time, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. Six people were on board the plane at the time of the incident.

Eliott Simpson, senior aviation accident investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board, said the plane departed from Teterboro, New Jersey, at about 11:15 p.m. on May 21 and flew to Wichita, Kansas. The plane made a fueling stop in Wichita before flying to San Diego, according to Simpson.

USA TODAY has reached out to the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board for comment.

Williams was a member of The Devil Wears Prada from the band’s 2005 inception until 2016. The former rocker shared on his May 21 Instagram stories that he was boarding a flight with Shapiro, although their destination was not stated. Shapiro self-identified as an “airport/helicopter pilot” on his Instagram page.
