Rapper Travis Scott has made headlines in the past. In 2021, his concert at Astroworld in Houston turned to chaos. Ten people were killed, and thousands of fans were injured.
Two college students from Naperville were killed in the incident: Jacob Jurinek, 21, who attended Southern Illinois University Carbondale, and Franco Patino, 21, who went to the University of Dayton.
According to officials, there were about 50,000 people in attendance at the Astroworld concert for Travis Scott's set when the crowd began to "compress," causing panic and injury.
