, reached a settlement against Houston rapper Travis Scott, Live Nation and others in connection with the tragedy that resulted in 10 deaths and hundreds of injuries at NRG Park."Victim Axel Acosta was a beloved son, brother and student," the post said."He is greatly missed. Please keep his family in your prayers.
Attorney Tony Buzbee filed a $750 million lawsuit on behalf of 125 clients, including Acosta, against a number of defendants. Scott, whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster II; Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Graham; Apple Music; Epic Records; Live Nation; Scott's record label, Cactus Jack Records, and private medical company Paradocs all were named in the lawsuit.
At a Nov. 8 news conference, Buzbee said Acosta was suffocated, trampled and left on the muddy ground “like a piece of trash.”Acosta died from compressive asphyxiation, which happens when there isn't enough oxygen going to the body causing abnormal breathing, Buzbee said at the news conference. The attorney believes it happened due to a trend called"crowd rushing," which can cause air to literally be squeezed of out someone's body.
The crowd watches as Travis Scott performs at Astroworld Festival at NRG park on Friday, Nov. 5, 2021. Several people died and numerous others were injured in what officials described as a surge of the crowd at the music festival while Scott was performing. Officials declared a “mass casualty incident” just after 9 p.m. Friday during the festival where an estimated 50,000 people were in attendance, Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peña told reporters at a news conference.
