9 of 10 wrongful death suits over Astroworld concert crowd surge have been settled, lawyer says

Nine of the ten wrongful death lawsuits stemming from the 2021 Astroworld concert tragedy have been settled, including one that was about to go to trial. The settlements were reached after a deadly crowd surge at a Travis Scott concert killed ten people. The terms of the settlements are confidential, and one lawsuit remains pending.

The unresolved case involves the family of 9-year-old Ezra Blount, the youngest victim. A trial date for this lawsuit is under discussion, with a potential focus on improving safety at similar events in the future. The settlements conclude most of the legal actions from an event that also saw over 4,000 people filing various lawsuits due to injuries and other damages.
