Dominic Christopher Damian, 41, was one of the individuals confirmed dead after a small plane crashed in the Murphy Canyon area of San Diego early Thursday morning. The San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office identified Damian along with Kendall An Fortner, 24, as passengers aboard the Cessna aircraft when it went down.

The tragic crash occurred around 3:45 a.m. near the intersection of Salmon and Sculpin streets, with all victims pronounced deceased at the 10200 block of Sample Street. On Friday, authorities released the names of three other people who perished in the crash: David Shapiro, 42, Emma L. Huke, 25, and Celina Marie Rose Kenyon, 36.

Federal investigators believe six people were on the plane, and all are presumed to have died. Among them was also Daniel Williams, former drummer of the rock band The Devil Wears Prada, according to statements from the band and their management team.

The crash caused damage to several homes and vehicles in the neighborhood, but fortunately, no residents on the ground were killed. Those injured sustained minor issues, mostly due to smoke exposure or injuries while escaping their homes.

Emergency crews remained at the crash site to continue cleanup efforts, as the investigation into what caused the deadly accident moves forward.
