Travis Scott, Live Nation Entertainment, and different defendants have settled the final remaining wrongful dying lawsuit they had been going through within the wake of the 2021 Astroworld tragedy, the Houston Chronicle reviews. The lawsuit was filed by the household of Ezra Blount, the youngest sufferer of the group crush. In an announcement to the Houston Chronicle, S. Scott West, an lawyer for the Blount household mentioned, “The family is happy to resolve its claim against all defendants following the death of their son, Ezra. They look forward to continuing the process of healing and never forgetting.”
Ezra Blount was simply 9 years outdated when he attended the Astroworld competition together with his father. He was trampled throughout the crowd crush and positioned in a medically-induced coma. He died within the days after the competition, turning into the tenth sufferer of the crush.
Scott and his co-defendants settled many of the wrongful death lawsuits earlier this month. The Blount household’s case had remained unresolved, and a trial date had been set for September.
Following an investigation that took practically two years, a Texas grand jury declined to indict Travis Scott on criminal charges associated to Astroworld. There continues to be energetic civil litigation in opposition to the rapper, and he’s scheduled to go to trial in October.
