A woman who lost her pregnancy after sustaining multiple injuries while attending Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival has sued Scott, promoter Live Nation and others for wrongful death, documents reviewed by Rolling Stone<\/em> reveal.<\/p>\n

Shanazia Williamson and her husband Jarawd Owens of Dayton, Ohio were expecting a child before the festival and filed the suit against Scott, promoters Live Nation and ScoreMore, security company Valle Services SMG, ASM Global, and the Harris County Sports and Convention corporation. The suit was filed last December but has not been previously reported.<\/p>\n

“While in attendance at the festival, Shanazia was trampled and crushed resulting in horrific injuries and ultimately the death of her and Jarawd’s unborn child,” the suit says. “In addition, Shanazia sustained injuries to her shoulder, back, leg, chest, stomach and other parts of her body di lei.”<\/p>\n

“Defendants’ failure to plan, design, manage, operate, staff, and supervise the event was a direct and proximate cause of Shanazia’s injuries and death of her and Jarawd’s unborn child,” the suit said. The suit also alleged that the defendants were negligent for various reasons including inadequate security and medical personnel for the festival along with failing to recognize safety hazards, among several other allegations.<\/p>\n

Williamson and Owens’s attorneys Jason Itkin and Kurt Arnold declined to comment on the case, citing February’s gag order limiting what lawyers can divulge publicly about Astroworld cases.<\/p>\n

The couple’s suit is one of the more complicated to arise from the festival. While the suit doesn’t concern abortion rights, it carries the same implications that fuel the debates on when life begins. States across the country have their own determinants on whether a fetus can be eligible for wrongful death suits. Texas’s Civil Practice and Remedies code specifically includes fetuses as eligible in these suits from the moment of fertilization.<\/p>\n
