HOUSTON — An attorney for rap superstar Travis Scott says a grand jury has declined to indict him in a criminal investigation of a massive crowd surge that killed 10 people at the 2021 Astroworld music festival in Houston.
Lawyer Kent Schaffer confirmed Thursday that the grand jury had met and decided not to indict his client on any criminal charges stemming from the concert.
Schaffer said he was not sure what charges the grand jury considered.
Schaffer said Scott never encouraged people to do anything that resulted in anyone being hurt.
Houston police and federal officials have been investigating whether Scott, concert promoter Live Nation and others had sufficient safety measures in place.
