A grand jury in Texas has decided not to charge rapper Travis Scott after 10 people suffocated to death in the crowd at his Astroworld Festival in Houston, Texas, in 2021.
The Houston grand jury met on Thursday, June 29, to consider criminal charges for Scott and several others involved in the tragedy but ultimately decided to return a"no bill," Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said in a press conference.
"Travis Scott is not responsible for the AstroWorld tragedy," Schaffer said. "This is consistent with investigative reporting by numerous media outlets and federal and state government reports that have squarely placed the onus for event safety crises on organizers, operators and contractors — not performers."
Travis Scott performs onstage during the third annual Astroworld Festival at NRG Park on Nov. 5, 2021 in Houston, Texas.In her press conference, Ogg said that the prosecutors had worked with local police for 19 months to review thousands of hours of footage and testimony from the event to put together the presentation for the grand jury.
