Treston Blount, Ezra’s father, described what happened Nov. 5 in a post on a GoFundMe page that he set up to help defray Ezra’s medical expenses. He said Ezra was sitting on his shoulders when a crowd surge crushed them. The father lost consciousness and when he came to, Ezra was missing, Blount said. A frantic search ensued until Ezra was eventually found at the hospital, severely injured.
The child incurred severe damage to his brain, kidney, and liver after being “kicked, stepped on, and trampled, and nearly crushed to death,” according to a lawsuit his family has filed against Scott and the event’s organizer, Live Nation. The Blount family is seeking at least $1 million in damages. The others who died ranged in age from 14 to 27. Some 300 people were treated at the festival site and 13 were hospitalized.
Houston police and fire department investigators have said they are reviewing surveillance video provided by concert promoter Live Nation, as well as dozens of clips people at the show widely shared on social media. Investigators also planned to speak with Live Nation representatives, Scott and concertgoers. Scott and the event organizers are now the focus of a criminal investigation.
I think this child is the 10th victim. I was hoping he would make it. 😢
So sad! RIP sweet boy! 💔
Heartbreaking 💔 Rest In Peace sweet Ezra. Praying for the family of this little boy. I can’t imagine losing a child this way, and the pain and trauma they will need to heal from. May God be with them during this time. And may He take Ezra into his open arms. 🙏🕊😢❤️
I heard this father speak on the news in desperation at the thought of losing his son. So heartbreaking. It stuck with me. I pray for him and his family tonight.
Who in their right mind would bring a 9 year old to a travis scott concert let alone a mosh pit.
Parents should be charged.... who the fuck brings a 9 year old to this type of place
Do you blame the ghetto rapper? Or the parents who brought this boy to a ghetto ass concert filled with thugs?
🙏🏽
