San Diego Jet Crash Kills Six, Sparks Investigation

A private jet crash in San Diego's Murphy Canyon neighborhood early Thursday killed all six people on board, including Dave Shapiro, co-founder of Sound Talent Group, and two other agency employees. The Cessna 550, registered to Shapiro, had departed from New Jersey with a stop in Kansas before striking power lines in dense fog and igniting a fire. The crash destroyed at least one home, damaged about 10 others, and scorched several vehicles, prompting the evacuation of around 100 residents, mostly military families. At least eight people were injured, mainly from smoke inhalation while escaping. Authorities and the NTSB attribute poor visibility due to fog as a likely factor, with the investigation ongoing. The loss has sparked grief among the music community and affected residents.
