Remaining Astroworld Wrongful Death Lawsuit Settled, Lawyer Says

The final remaining Astroworld wrongful death lawsuit has been settled, according to a lawyer for the family of the youngest victim of the tragedy.

The one remaining wrongful death lawsuit filed after 10 people were killed during a deadly crowd crush at the 2021 Astroworld music festival has been settled, an attorney said Thursday. Jury selection in the lawsuit filed by the family of 9-year-old Ezra Blount, the youngest person killed during the concert by rapper Travis Scott, had been set to begin Sept. 10. Lawyers for the plaintiffs in the lawsuits have alleged in court filings that the deaths and hundreds of injuries at the concert were caused by negligent planning and a lack of concern over capacity and safety at the event.
