Travis Scott, Live Nation Entertainment and other defendants have settled the last remaining wrongful-death lawsuit they faced in the wake of the 2021 Astroworld tragedy. Houston Chronicle References. The lawsuit was filed by the family of Ezra Blount, the youngest victim of the mob crash. In a statement to Houston Chronicle, S. Scott West, attorney for the Blount family said, “The family is pleased to settle their claim against all defendants following the death of their son, Ezra. They look forward to continuing the healing process and never forgetting.”
Ezra Blount was just 9 years old when he attended the Astroworld festival with his father. He was run over during the crowd crush and put into a medically induced coma. He died in the days after the festival, becoming the 10th victim of the crash.
Scott and his co-defendants settled several of their wrongful-death lawsuits earlier this month. The Blount family's case had remained unsolved and a trial was set for September.
After an investigation that lasted nearly two years, a Texas grand jury declined to indict Travis Scott on criminal charges related to Astroworld. There is still an active civil lawsuit against the rapper and he is scheduled to go to trial in October.
