The Houston concert ended with eight dead and 25 people hospitalized, 13 of whom are still receiving medical attention.
One of the injured at the rapper’s concert Travis Scott last weekend in Houston (Texas), in which an avalanche killed eight people, has sued the organizers of the event, in which there were also dozens of injuries.
The plaintiff, Manuel Souza, “He suffered serious bodily injuries when the uncontrolled crowd at the concert threw him to the ground and stomped on him”, is explained in the lawsuit filed in the Texas county of Harris, which corresponds to Houston, as reported by the chain on Monday CNN.
The complaint is directed against the rapper and producer Travis Scott, who was the organizer of the Astroworld Festivalas well as the entertainment company Live Nation, the concert promoter Scoremore and others involved in the event, according to the US network.
According to the complaint, “The defendants neither planned nor carried out the concert in a safe manner.”
Instead, they consciously ignored the extreme risks of harm to concert-goers and, in some cases, actively encouraged and encouraged dangerous behavior. His gross negligence caused serious injury to the plaintiff “adds the complaint, in which a compensation of one million dollars is requested.
Authorities in Houston are investigating what exactly caused the avalanche.
One of the hypotheses they are considering is the possibility that someone started injecting drugs into the other bystanders, a theory that has been circulating on social networks and that was mentioned last Saturday by the Houston Police Chief, Troy Finner, during a press conference.
Finner said information had reached him about a security agent who tried to immobilize someone during the concert and received a “puncture” in the neck.
Local authorities offered little more details, but at the insistence of journalists, the Houston fire chief, Sam Pena, explained that the medical staff who were at the concert he had to administer “several” doses of Naloxone, but did not give an exact number.
Around 9:15 p.m. local time (02:15 GMT on Saturday), panic broke out and the crowd began to push in the direction of the stage, while fights broke out among the attendees and some lost consciousness.
As a result, in addition to the eight dead, 25 people were hospitalized, of which 13 are still receiving medical care, including five minors under 18 years of age, according to the updated data that Peña offered this Saturday. (I)
