The Travis Scott Astroworld incident which claimed 10 lives and left thousands injured at the 2021 music festival, has ended with a grand jury refusing to indict the rapper and other implicated parties.
The decision was announced by Harris County District Attorney, Kim Ogg, who reported that the grand jury found no individual criminally responsible for the tragic events that unfolded at the festival.
The Astroworld incident was marked by a fatal crowd crush during Travis Scott’s headline performance.
Thousands of concert-goers surged toward the stage, resulting in a multitude of injuries and, ultimately, fatalities.
The victims, ranging from a 9-year-old boy to adults, were reportedly subjected to compression asphyxia.
