A Texas grand jury has found rapper Travis Scott not guilty of criminal charges in connection with the 2021 Astroworld crowd surge in Houston, which resulted in the death of 10 fans and left thousands injured. This decision comes after the festival faced numerous civil claims, including allegations that security and crowd control measures were inadequate. The victims, including a 9-year-old boy, sadly died from compressive asphyxiation, while 4,900 others reported injuries caused by the overwhelming crowd and ensuing chaos.
During a news conference, Kim Ogg, the Harris County district attorney, described the event as a “disastrous and horrific” incident. Following a thorough 19-month review, the grand jury concluded that there was insufficient evidence to establish probable cause of criminal wrongdoing on the part of Travis Scott or others involved.
Previously, Travis Scott expressed his distress over the events that transpired at the festival. However, his attorney has now stated that the musician did not violate any laws according to the Texas criminal code.
