Travis Scott will not face criminal charges for deadly Astroworld crowd crush

LA Times  

Travis Scott will not face criminal charges for his role in the deadly Astroworld festival, a Houston grand jury decided Thursday. That’s who my heart goes out to.” “My client Travis Scott will not be charged with criminal charges or any wrongdoing for his involvement with AstroWorld festival,” a representative for Scott told The Times in a statement. “Today’s decision by the Harris County District Attorney confirms what we have known all along — that Travis Scott is not responsible for the AstroWorld tragedy. Now that this chapter is closed, we hope for the government efforts to focus on what is most important — stopping future heartbreaking tragedies like AstroWorld from ever occurring again.” A spokesperson for Kherker Garcia, a Houston-based firm that represents hundreds of Astroworld attendees in civil lawsuits, told The Times: “While we are incredibly disappointed that Mr. Travis Scott will not be indicted on charges stemming from the senseless tragedies and chaos that occurred at Astroworld, we are undeterred and will continue fighting every day on behalf of the hundreds of injury victims — who simply intended to attend a concert for a night of fun — to ensure responsible parties are held accountable in the ongoing pursuit of justice.” In March, Scott performed at the Rolling Loud festival at Inglewood’s Hollywood Park.
