Travis Scott

A Texas grand jury has determined that rapper Travis Scott was not criminally responsible for the crowd crush that killed 10 people and injured thousands more at his 2021 Astroworld music festival. The Harris County grand jury declined criminal charges against Scott and five other people related to the fan deaths. Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed accusing Scott and the concert’s organiser, Live Nation, of negligence. Scott’s attorney Kent Schaffer said Scott and his actions have been inaccurately portrayed, adding that the rapper stopped the show three times and was unaware of the events as they unfolded.
