A LEGAL REPRIEVE FOR TRAVIS SCOTT

Travis Scott will not face criminal charges related to the 2021 Astroworld Festival tragedy that claimed 10 lives. A grand jury handed down the decision on Thursday (6/29), per ABC News.

The 11/5 incident took place during Scott's headlining set in his hometown of Houston. As the crowd surged toward the stage, the victims suffered fatal compression asphyxia.

According to ABC News, "An attorney for Scott called the 19-month investigation 'one of the most exhaustive investigations in the history of the Houston Police Department' in remarks to reporters."

Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg was quoted as saying, "The grand jury found that no crime did occur, that no single individual was criminally responsible" but that the grand jury’s determination "has no impact on the many civil lawsuits pending."
