The attorney for Travis Scott shared new details about the flow of communication between Houston police, event security and Scott’s manager the night 10 people were crushed to death at the 2021 Astroworld Festival.
According to information released by HPD, 33-minutes elapsed between the department initiating “stop-show” procedures and the end of the concert.
“Michael Brown, who was the head of Travis’s security, was approached by Seyth Boardman, who is the head of CSC, and he said, ‘we need to talk to Travis, tell him to shut the show down after Drake leaves the stage,’” Schaffer said. “So Brown and Boardman go and find Travis’s manager to see who can speak to Travis, and they discover that the only person who can actually talk to Travis while he’s on stage through Travis’s earpiece is a guy that runs an auto tune machine backstage.
Schaffer said Scott was never told of the severity of the problems taking place in the crowd. Immediately following the deaths of ten people city and county officials vasicallted on the reason it took so long to end the concert. At first Finner said he was concerned about crowd control if the show was stopped abruptly.
“The chief of police is not going to get up here and point fingers at anybody or say, I simply I respect the grand jury’s decision,” Finner said during a news conference.
