******************************
I, Sergeant K. L. Meek/squad 8, along with Detective S. Overstreet of the Homicide Division traveled to Ben Taub
hospital on 11/06/2021 at approximately 12:53 a.m. to conduct a follow-up investigation in response to the Travis
Scott concert fatalities. We arrived at the hospital at approximately 1:03 a.m.. We met with Ruth Mudgett, charge
nurse of the Ben Taub emergency room, who escorted me to a living patient that I observed laying on a hospital
bed and wearing a hospital gown in the hallway of the triage area. She advised he was transported by Hfd ems
#08 and cpr had been performed on him in the field but as of this point he was in stable condition. Nurse Mudgett
also advised us of two deceased patients who were transported from the concert that had already been moved to
the morgue in the hospital. (Detective Overstreet gathered the details of these patients/see supplement)
I attempted to interview the living patient and get the details of possibly why he was transported and what
transpired. The following is what I learned about the identification of the living patient:
Arturo Sanchez

Transported to Ben Taub hospital by Hfd ems #08

and someone saved his life by pulling him up off the ground. I observed Arturo to be in major pain as he was
crying and moaning often. I observed Arturo to continuously grab for his chest with both his hands and he had alot
of body movement. I asked Arturo about possibly taking narcotics and he was able to mumble "Molly" to me.
Arturo did state he was from the Dallas area and attended the concert with his cousin Karina and another friend.
Arturo was able to provide his mothers phone number as , who lives in the Dallas area.
Arturo was not able to provide any further information or details. I did observe he was in alot of pain and in a
confused state of mind possibly high from some sort of narcotic, at one point asking me if he was dead. I observed
visible bruising on his chest and arms. The attending physician, Dr J. Mejia, stated he was going to survive his
injuries and the extent of internal injuries were not known at this time but that he would be sent to get xrays done.
I was able to reach,via cell phone, Mrs Sanchez at the number Arturo provided, and spoke to a sister. The sister
stated Arturo traveled to Houston from Dallas for the concert with his cousin Karina. I was provided the phone
number of Karina as . I was then able to reach Karina who stated she was the cousin of Arturo.
Karina stated she separated from Arturo to go to different stages at the event and when they were supposed to
meet up at a predetermined location and time, he never showed up. Karina stated a female called her from his cell
phone and stated she helped Arturo up when he was trampled on but that the ambulance took him away before
she could return his phone to him. Karina stated when she was with Arturo before they separated to go to
different stages he was not taking narcotics but he is known to take "Molly". Karina stated she was smoking
marijuana when she was separated from Arturo.
I notified Karina of Arturo's condition and whereabouts and thanked her for her time on the phone.

INTRODUCTION / INITIAL INVESTIGATION

On Saturday November 6, 2021, I, Sergeant J. Horn while working HPD's Homicide Division (Night Shift) received
a phone call from Assistant Chief Null. Assistant Chief Null told me that there were multiple individuals who had
been transported from the Travis Scott Concert (1 Reliant Parkway) to nearby hospitals and several of them were
pronounced deceased after they arrived. Preliminary information was that the possible causes of death ranged
from cardiac arrest, trampled, and overdosed. Assistant Chief Null also provided me with the following
information:
4 expected deceased @ Memorial Hermann Hospital
2 expected deceased @ Ben Taub Hospital
1 expected deceased @ Methodist Hospital
1 expected deceased @ Texas Childrens' Hospital

Brief Summary
1 expected deceased @ Park Plaza Hospital
1 transported to St. Joseph's Hospital (unknown condition)
1 transported to St. Lukes Hospital (unknown condition)
1 transported to Memorial Hermann Southeast (unknown condition)

I advised Assistant Chief Null that we had two night shift teams available and Assistant Chief Null told me that she
would get additional resources including SIU and to call-out dayshift homicide investigators.
I contacted Watch Command to see if they had any case numbers related to individuals who had been
transported and they provided me with Incident #1490724-21 . I notified Sergeant Simmons of this incident so that
he could log this incident into the Homicide Division Case Management and I instructed him to contact the Crime
Scene Division.
Sergeant K. Meek, Detective S. Overstreet, Detective C. Lafour, and I, Sergeant J. Horn of HPD's Homicide
Division were assigned to investigate this incident. Detective M. Barrow and Detective J. Caten of
HPD's Homicide Division were called out to investigate this incident. Sergeant J. Hekimian of HPD's
Special Investigation Unit contacted me and told me that Assistant Chief assigned them to this incident as well.
I assigned Detective Lafour and myself to conduct a hospital investigation at Memorial Hermann Hospital for the
presumed four deceased complainants there. I assigned Sergeant Meek and Detective Overstreet to conduct a
hospital investigation at Ben Taub Hospital for the presumed two deceased complainant's there. I asked Sergeant
Hekimian if he could have his investigators conduct a hospital investigations at Methodist Hospital, Park Plaza
Hospital, and Texas Childrens Hospital for the presumed deceased complainant's at those locations. Patrol Units
were sent to St. Joseph's Hospital, St. Luke's Hospital, and Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital to determine
the status of the complainant's at those locations.
Detective Barrow and Detective Caten would be the lead investigators of this incident. They responded to the
crime scene and they conducted the scene investigation along with the Crime Scene Division.
Detective C. Lafour and I performed research, gathered our equipment, and arrived at Memorial Hermann
Hospital at approximately 1:00 a.m. We were guided to the nurse's station of the Emergency Center and were
met by Charge Nurse April Tinder. Nurse Tinder told us that their hospital had four deceased individuals
transported from the Travis Scott Concert. Nurse Tinder also told us that she would escort Detective Lafour and
me to each complainant. Detective Lafour documented the first and the third complainant that we were escorted
to. I documented the second and fourth complainant that we were escorted to.
JACOB JURINEK - MEMORIAL HERMANN HOSPITAL INVESTIGATION

At approximately 1:35 p.m., Nurse Tinder escorted Detective Lafour and me to the second complainant. This
complainant was located in Consul Room EC410. Nurse Tinder told me that the complainant was transported to
Memorial Hermann by Harris County EMS and that his ID was unknown therefore, he was documented in their
system as UNIFORM3487. The complainant was pronounced deceased by Dr. Chavez at 10:57 p.m. and his
hospital bracelet showed an MRN # of 49096211-7500 .
The complainant was on a hospital bed and had a medical tube in his mouth. I observed him to be a heavy-set
white male in his early 20's with brown hair and a beard. I observed possible blood and/or bruising on the upper
right side of his nose and above his right eye.

wearing a red shirt, black pants, and black shoes. Mrs. Rodriguez said that the complainant did not have a purse
with her however, she had her negative COVID test results and her Capital One Debit card with her.
Esther Rodriguez told me that she was watching the live stream to see her daughter. Esther Rodriguez said that
around 9:46 p.m., Travis (Travis Scott) mentioned getting someone medical attention. Esther Rodriguez stated
that the individual who needed medical care appeared to be towards the front and she was advised that Brianna
was towards the back.
Esther Rodriguez told me that Brianna went with the following group of friends and that they are all good kids:

Taylia
Esther Rodriguez told us that Brianna was closest to Mikalya and Talia and believed that both of them were
outside (hospital).
I asked Esther Rodriguez if she knew where Brianna's cell phone and she stated that she did not know. Esther
Rodriguez said that there was nothing wrong with Brianna, that she did not do drugs to the best of her knowledge,
and that she was fine when she last saw her.
Detective Lafour took photos of Brianna with my Canon PowerShot Camera and provided Brianna's family with
her business card. We observed multiple bruises all over the complainants body.
GREGORIO VILLANUEVA - WITNESS INTERVIEW

We sought out friends of Brianna's near the entrance of Memorial Hospital. I asked if anyone was named Greg
and a male who identified himself to me as Gregorio Villianueva. The following is a synopsis of a video interview
that I had with Gregorio Villanueva in the Ambulance area of Memorial Hermann Hospital. The interview began at
2:25 a.m. and ended at approximately 2:39 a.m.
Gregorio told me that he was close friends with Brianna and considered her a cousin. Gregorio said that
throughout the day, Brianna seemed normal. Gregorio said that he even recalled asking Brianna if she had
anything to eat around 2:00 p.m. and she told him that she ate some tacos.
Gregorio told me that at approximately 8:30 p.m., he and his brother (Jerry; twin brother), were looking for a spot

Gregorio said that Travis Scott was scheduled to start around 10:00 p.m., and that people were getting excited.
During that time, the area that he was in was starting to get crowded. Gregorio described his location as being in
the last quarter-section of the crowd, and stated that Brianna was behind him. Gregorio recalled having a hard
time breathing and believed he fainted for a little while.
Gregorio observed another friend of Brianna's asking for help to get up because he had fallen. Gregorio
continued to look right and at approximately 10:30 p.m., he observed Brianna on the ground and unknown male
attempting to provide CPR to her. Gregorio rushed over to the area where Brianna was and they observed that
she was not responding, and that she did not have a pulse.
A male who had been providing CPR to Brianna, a security guard, and he guided Brianna away from the crowd.
They were able to make it over a barricade and find a place in the grass where an unknown male and female
attempted CPR. He noticed Brianna was not responding and during that time, another unknown male approached
them and asked if they needed help. Gregorio told him that she needed medical attention. Gregorio stated that
the cops responded, picked up Brianna, and took her to a medical tent where he observed that Brianna still did
not have a pulse.
Gregorio told me that the only drug that he observed people doing was smoking marijuana. Gregorio also told me
that Brianna did not do drugs. Gregorio believed that Brianna death was because she was trampled.
MAKAYLA DELEON - WITNESS INTERVIEW

I asked if there was anyone outside named Makalya or Taliya and a young female identified herself to me as
Makayla Deleon. The following is a synopsis of a video interview that I had with Makalya Deleon in the
Ambulance area of Memorial Hermann Hospital. The interview began at approximately 2:44 a.m. and ended at
approximately 2:52 a.m.
Makalya Deleon told me that she was one of Brianna's closest friends. Makayla stated that she and Brianna went
to Taliya's house, and the three of them met there. Her boyfriend, Ayden ( ), picked them up from
Taliya's house at approximately 9:00 a.m., and they all went to "Astroworld" together. At approximately 9:00 a.m.,
they went to get breakfast, however Brianna didn't want anything to eat. After breakfast, they went to
"Astroworld". At approximately 2:00 p.m., Brianna ate some tacos and had water to drink.
Brianna went to see Lil Baby and mentioned that she was getting pushed around a lot. They went to the Travis
Scott concert and went towards the back. Prior to the Travis Scott Concert, she recalled people pushing and
described being crammed. They were all together and she observed Brianna was with Xavier. People continued
to push people and she recalled people stepping on other people's feet. Multiple people including her began to
fall and she lost sight of Brianna. Makalya said that unfortunately while people were falling down and getting
stepped on, Travis Scott continued to sing. Makalya stated that she believed that Travis Scott was not aware that
people were being trampled/stepped on at that time.
Makalya stated that she didn't know that Brianna was on the ground until the twins (Gregorio and Jerry) were
rendering aide.
Makalya told me that Brianna didn't do any drugs, etc. Makalya told me that she recalled multiple people within
the crowd smoking marijuana and cigarettes.
Taliya was not at the hospital at the time Detective Lafour and I attempted to interview her, however Makalya
provided me with her phone number, .

concerned family members were near the command post which had been set up at the Wyndam Hotel (nearby).
Detective Barrow, Detective Caten, Detective Lafour, Detective Overstreet, Sergeant Meek, and I proceeded to
the Wyndam Hotel and we spoke with Lieutenant Pleasant, Commander Hardin, and Assistant Chief Tien. We
learned that there was a mother at the location who stated that she had not heard from her 14 year-old son.
Assistant Chief Tien provided us with a photo that was given to him by the 14 year-old's mother and after
Detective Lafour and I looked at the photo. We believed that the photo that we were shown matched the 1st
complainant that we saw at Memorial Hermann Hospital (please see Detective Lafour's supplement).
Commander Hardin also told me that the wristband on the complainant who was in Room EC410 was purchased
by Jacob Jurinek. I performed a search through CLEAR and other databases and saw that Jacob Jurinek was
associated with phone number . Using my city cell phone, I called phone number
and it called the cell phone that I had recovered from the second complainant. Based on other identifiers that I
received, we tentatively identified the complainant in Consult Room EC 410 as Jacob Jurinek .
I uploaded the photos that I took to HPD's Digitial Crime Scene and I submitted a digital forensics request for
Jacob Jurinek's cell phone.

On Saturday November 6, 2021, I, Sergeant J. Horn while working HPD's Homicide Division (Night Shift) received
a phone call from Assistant Chief Null. Assistant Chief Null told me that there were multiple individuals who had
been transported from the Travis Scott Concert (1 Reliant Parkway) to nearby hospitals and several of them were
pronounced deceased after they arrived. Preliminary information was that the possible causes of death ranged
from cardiac arrest, trampled, and overdosed. Assistant Chief Null also provided me with the following

I advised Assistant Chief Null that we had two night shift teams available and Assistant Chief Null told me that she
would get additional resources including SIU and to call-out dayshift homicide investigators.
I contacted Watch Command to see if they had any case numbers related to individuals who had been
transported and they provided me with Incident #1490724-21 . I notified Sergeant Simmons of this incident so that
he could log this incident into the Homicide Division Case Management and I instructed him to contact the Crime

Sergeant K. Meek, Detective S. Overstreet, Detective C. Lafour, and I, Sergeant J. Horn of HPD's Homicide
Division were assigned to investigate this incident. Detective M. Barrow and Detective J. Caten of
HPD's Homicide Division were called out to investigate this incident. Sergeant J. Hekimian of HPD's
Special Investigation Unit contacted me and told me that Assistant Chief assigned them to this incident as well.
I assigned Detective Lafour and myself to conduct a hospital investigation at Memorial Hermann Hospital for the
presumed four deceased complainants there. I assigned Sergeant Meek and Detective Overstreet to conduct a

Hekimian if he could have his investigators conduct a hospital investigations at Methodist Hospital, Park Plaza
Hospital, and Texas Childrens Hospital for the presumed deceased complainant's at those locations. Patrol Units
were sent to St. Joseph's Hospital, St. Luke's Hospital, and Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital to determine

Detective Barrow and Detective Caten would be the lead investigators of this incident. They responded to the
crime scene and they conducted the scene investigation along with the Crime Scene Division.
Detective C. Lafour and I performed research, gathered our equipment, and arrived at Memorial Hermann
Hospital at approximately 1:00 a.m. We were guided to the nurse's station of the Emergency Center and were
met by Charge Nurse April Tinder. Nurse Tinder told us that their hospital had four deceased individuals
transported from the Travis Scott Concert. Nurse Tinder also told us that she would escort Detective Lafour and

white male in his early 20's with brown hair and a beard. I observed possible blood and/or bruising on the upper
right side of his nose and above his right eye.
Nurse Tinder told me that the only property that the complainant had with him was an IPhone. I collected the
IPhone from Nurse Tinder and observed it to be a chrome IPhone 13. I observed the home screen of the phone

I Detective B. Bertrand assigned to Homicide Division- SIU Squad 25, was called by Sgt. P. Buttitta to assist
Detectives in a critical incident event. I was instructed to head to Park Plaza hospital, identified upon arrival as
HCA Houston Medical Center, located at 1313 Hermann Dr, Houston, TX 77004. After arriving at the location I
was advised that the hospital staff treated 3 people associated with the Travis Scott Concert. The following names

Discharged after I spoke to him.
Williams-Alexander stated he is from Chicago. He explained that he was at the concert with a male named Chris,
unknown last name and they got separated. He told me that he had 2 shot of Tequila that he believed that he got
from a bar prior to entering the concert, but he could not remember for sure if he took them prior to or after
entering the venue. The only other things he could remember was, he took a video of the fireworks, which he
showed me. There was no investigative value in the video. He remembered speaking with security and then
waking up in the hospital as the nurse was sternum rubbing him. The hospital staff stated that there was no drugs
found in his TOX screen only Alcohol. This interview was recorded via a digital recorder provided to me by the
Houston Police Department. I made a copy of the recording and gave it to Det. Caten.
The second complainant was DOA when I arrived at the location:

ICU where I was met by Dr. Muhammad Umair Mian. Dr. Mian indicated an unknown black male was transported
to Texas Children's Hospital between 2200 and 2300 hours by a Harris County ambulance. At the time of his
arrival, the patient was in a state of cardiac arrest. The patient was revived and intubated. He arrived at the ICU
at approximately midnight.
Dr. Mian estimated the child's age based on his height at between ten and eleven years old. Preliminary testing
was performed on his urine which came back negative for the presence of alcohol. At the time of the initial
investigation, Dr. Mian had no explanation for the child's condition and was testing for infection.
I then contacted Sergeant Buttitta and was instructed to proceed to the scene where the incident occurred.
This concluded my involvement with this investigation.

Prior to this event, a LAANC waiver was requested through the FAA Drone Zone to fly in the Hobby Airport
controlled airspace. This is required for any sUAS operations being conducted in a controlled air space. The
request was authorized inside the following parameters: from Friday, November 5, 2021 at 1200 hours through
November 7, 2021 at midnight, flying at 300 ft. AGL (above ground level) and below, and able to fly during night
time hours with anti-collision lights. This was done under my Part 107 certification. (Reference Number -
2021-P107-CSA-26998)

The sUAS team set up operations in NRG Park's Teal Parking Lot (southeast section of lot). The team
conducted multiple flights throughout the day and evening. All flights were coordinated with Special Operations
Division's on site command post. The command post was able to monitor flights with the FLIR Squad View
application.

Officer Hurban - Observer
This was the first flight of the day and was considered to be a test flight to ensure all the programmed waypoints
and sUAS (HPD 1) were functioning properly. The flight was approximately 11 minutes and 33 seconds long and
was back on the ground at 1238 hours.

**********************
Officer Amato - Observer
The Special Operations Division Command Post advised the SWAT sUAS Team via the radio to conduct a drone
flight over the main stage (Stage 1) where Travis Scott was performing. There was a concern over the large
crowd surging towards the stage and medical emergencies occurring around the footprint. At approximately 2134
hours HPD-1 was in the air. I was tasked with attempting to gain vision using the HD Zoom 30 camera payload
near the area of concern which was center stage and the immediate surrounding area. I also utilized the FLIR
IR/thermal payload system to gain better vision of the large crowd near the front of the stage. During this flight I
captured multiple pictures and videos. The flight lasted approximately 10 minutes and landed at approximately
2144 hours (battery swap out).

1. INTRODUCTION
On Saturday November 6, 2021 at approximately 12:20 AM, I, Detective C. LaFour payroll# unit 3324 who
is assigned to the Houston Police Department's Homicide Division, Murder Squad 8, was notified by Sergeant J.
Horn of a mass casualty scene with at least eight deceased victims from possible overdose located at multiple
hospitals. I learned the scene was located at 1 Reliant Parkway Houston, Harris County, Texas. The Astroworld
festival event was at this location. I knew Sgt. M. Arrington was working the festival and I called him at
approximately 12:25 AM to secure the scene. He informed me the festival had ended for the night and he was
leaving the location but he provided me Sgt. Casser's phone number and informed me he was in
charge of the night shift officers who were securing the gates to the festival. I provided this information to Sgt.
Simmons who was going to notify Detective J. Caten and Detective M. Barrow to conduct the scene investigation.
It was determined that I along with Sgt. Horn would conduct the Memorial Hermann Hospital investigation while
Detective S. Overstreet and Sgt. K. Meek would conduct the Ben Taub Hospital investigation.
2. HOSPITAL INVESTIGATION
I left the Homicide division at 1200 Travis Street at approximately 12:47 AM and arrived at 6411 Fannin Street,
Memorial Hermann-TMC Hospital at approximately 1 AM, where multiple complainants were transported. Sgt.
Horn and I entered through the ambulance emergency doors where we spoke with the security guard who
directed us to the ER check-in desk and we spoke with Melanie. Melanie called the head nurse who was in charge
of the victims who were transported from the Astroworld festival. RN April Tinder greeted us and informed us
there was a total of four victims at this hospital and they were all deceased. April informed us they located two
possible identifications for two victims but the other two were unidentified at this time. April escorted us to each of
the victim's room where they were located so we could conduct our investigation. I documented two victims and
Sgt. Horn documented the other two victims, see his supplement for further details.

On November 6, 2021 at 1:22 AM April escorted us to the Duke Room S1:107 where the first victim was located. I
observed a tall slim build young white male laying on a gurney centered in the room covered by a white sheet. I
put on gloves and pulled down the white sheet to take pictures of the body. The head of the complainant was at
the top of the bed, he had a tube in his mouth, his feet towards the bottom with both arms down with his hands
resting on his stomach area. I took twelve pictures of the complainant. RN April advised the complainant made no

voice recorder and a copy will be kept with the case file.
Gerry said he knows Brianna and they have been friends for seven years. Gerry said he arrived at the festival
around 10 AM and Brianna arrived separate but they met up with a group of friends who he named off: Greg (his
brother), a different Greg, Freddy, Xavier, Mykala, and Taylia. Gerry said around lunch they all went to get some
food and ate at different places. Gerry text Brianna around 3 PM to ask her where she was and they eventually
met up and were together until about 9 PM. Gerry asked Brianna if she wanted to come to the front with him but
she told him no she was going to stay with Xavier. Gerry said he knows Brianna to have Anxiety.
At this time the group splits up and he is no longer around Brianna because she went with Xavier. Gerry did not
believe Xavier was her boyfriend just a male friend who he described to be 17 years old, a black male light
skinned approximately 5'8 tall, slim build with blonde dreads wearing a Green Nike Hooded jacket (later during
the night he lost it and had no shirt), black Adidas pants, and black/white Vans. Gerry said he believed Xavier
attended the same high school as Brianna.
Gerry reported the concert was continuing as people were running around trying to get air, falling to the ground
passing out, and others were pushing each other to the ground. Gerry said Travis did not stop the music. Gerry
said at one point he fell to the floor and he was getting stepped on by unknown people. Gerry eventually was able
to get up and help other people and that is when he began looking for his friends. Gerry said he did not know what
happened to Brianna until his brother, Greg told him she was getting treated by medical staff. Gerry said the
ambulance transported her and he asked multiple times to go with her but they refused. Gerry provided Xavier's
phone number and said he left the hospital already. Gerry said he did not see Brianna take any
narcotics and he provided his identifying information.
[End of interview]
I did not speak with Xavier on this date to take a statement and I informed the lead investigators.
4. AYDEN CRUZ-WITNESS
Ayden Cruz
DOB:
Phone:
This interview with Ayden was conducted on Saturday November 6, 2021 at 2:33 AM located at 6411 Fannin
Street outside the ER. The following statement is paraphrased and it is not transcribed word for word. I recorded
his statement with my department issued digital voice recorder and a copy will be kept with the case file.
Ayden identified himself then began by showing me a video of where he was standing at during the concert.
Ayden sent me the video and it will be kept with the case file. Ayden said right when the show started there was a
lot of space but then it quickly became congested because people were pushing inward towards the main stage.
Ayden believes everyone was coming from the other stage to the main stage where Travis Scott was performing.
Ayden said Brianna was near him within an arm's length and he could see her. Ayden had his arms around his
girlfriend while Xavier had his arms around Brianna in their attempt to protect the girls from the crowd. Ayden
reported feeling his feet swept up off the floor and he fell down. Ayden said he felt like he was losing oxygen and
he began to yell for help as he fell to the ground. Ayden said he turned to survival mode to get himself out from
under people as he was getting stepped on and his feet began to hurt and he had to slip his shoes off to protect
his feet from being crushed. Ayden reported he saw Brianna go down towards the ground then he heard her voice
yelling "I can't breathe, I can't breathe!" Ayden said it did not help that the music continued on playing even
though it was clear people were being trampled on. Ayden said once he was able to get free he walked up the
ladder towards the camera personnel in attempt to stop the concert or to get Travis Scott's attention. Ayden said
Brianna and his group did not do any narcotics.
[End of interview]
5. RETURN TO OFFICE
Sgt. Horn and I left Memorial Hermann hospital and met Det. Caten and Det. Barrow at the scene. I provided Det.
Caten all the complainant's identifiers and information I received from the hospital. We all then relocated to 8686
Kirby Drive, the Wyndham Hotel where the command post was located. At this time investigators believe the first

1.) Introduction:
On November 6, 2021 at approximately 0045 hours, I, Detective J. Caten assigned to the Houston Police
Department's Homicide Division was contacted by Sgt. T. Simmons of HPD Homicide. I was off duty at the time.
He told me there have been reported nine dead from possible drug overdose sent to various hospitals from the
Astroworld Event. I got ready and contacted my partner; Detective M. Barrow to tell him we had a scene.
Sgt. T. Simmons told me the Harris County Crime Scene Unit (CSU) had already been called out to the scene. He
stated we should meet with HPD Sgt. Casares who was working an Extra Employment Job at the location. Sgt. T.
Simmons stated Assistant Chief B. Null made the request for Homicide to begin working the deaths. He stated we
would be supported by SIU (Special Investigations Unit) and Night Shift HPD Homicide.
2.) Initial Findings:
Detective M. Barrow and I decided to carpool to go straight to the scene. We first went to Orange Lot 10 located at
Holly Hall St and Fannin St near the Astrodome. We saw multiple HPD personnel at the lot. We asked where the
scene was and was told the scene would be on the west side of NRG. M. Barrow and I began traveling to Kirby Dr
and S Loop W Service Rd. We saw police lights at Wyndham Houston located at 8686 Kirby Dr. When we
arrived, we learned from patrol officers that the location is for the families of the missing / deceased / injured. I

was contacted by CSU Lambert. She stated they had arrived on scene and found the possible scene. She stated
she met with Medical Personnel who had been working at a medical tent. She stated she asked the medics to
remain on scene to talk to Homicide and they refused. CSU Lambert stated she was concert evidence had been
lost and there was not any patrol officers on scene.
M. Barrow and I then responded to the Yellow Lot southwest at McNee Rd and southeast S Main St. I observed
the following:
The Astroworld Event was a large venue with carnival rides, concessions, stages, and other attractions. It was
mostly empty with various staff members walking around or stationed at the property. M. Barrow and I met with
SIU Detective Walker (PR# We walked the grounds and eventually saw multiple CSU vehicles in the
distance towards the southwest side of the Yellow Lot. M. Barrow and I met with CSU Lambert along with other
CSU personnel. CSU Lambert provided me a business card for:
3.) Harris County Emergency Corps:
Monty Northern
Director of Special Event
Contacting Director M. Northern

At this point of the investigation, we did not know where the victims were reported, how many confirmed deceased
were, who the victims were, or where the incident took place. I contacted Director M. Northern to gain some
insight. M. Northern answered. He stated he and his team were in charge of operating on patients in the
ambulances as they were transported to hospitals. He stated Paradox is the company that worked out of the
medical tents and provided medical care on site. He stated HFD were there as well. He stated at approximately
2100 hours is when they were notified about the first victim. He stated the first transport was at approximately
2138 hours. He stated there were approximately seventeen patients with eleven being under possible cardiac
arrest.
M. Northern went on to say the crew that was at the site when CSU arrived was not the original crew that worked
on the victims. He stated they have gone home and there will be a de-briefing held in order to assist in coping with
the loss. He stated he had worked a long shift starting at approximately 5:00 A.M. He stated multiple people were
transported and they operated on some who had passed. He stated there were so many people, the crowd did
not make way for them to get out of the venue. He stated patrol did not come to them afterwards and they waited.
He stated they were not going to wait any longer. I thanked M. Northern for his service. I asked if I could contact
him on Monday afternoon to get a list of his personnel that operated on the victims. After speaking with M.
Northern, I learned the rest of the SIU Investigators arrived on scene.
4.) SIU Investigator Meeting:
Sgt. T. Simmons had told me earlier in the morning that SIU Personnel were sent to assist. On scene, I met with
SIU Investigator Walker (PR# He told me that there was an unknown young black male at Texas
Children's Hospital in the Texas Medical Center approximately 10 - 11 years old. He stated the MRN was
3003133301. He stated the individual was alive and intubated with clothing only. We later confirmed this victim to
be:

I then met with SIU Investigator J. Moreno (PR# He told me he went to Methodist Hospital in the Texas

date of birth . We later confirmed this victim to be:

Four deceased at Memorial Hermann Hospital
One deceased at HCA in Park Plaza
6.) Meeting with Victim Families:
SIU, Night Shift Homicide, M. Barrow and I discussed the case thus far at the site. Night Shift Homicide, M.
Barrow and I went to the Family Re-Unite Center located at located at Wyndham Houston located at:
8686 Kirby Dr
Houston, TX 77045
Upon our arrival, I contacted the Medical Examiner's Office. I began the preliminary contact and spoke with
Karina. I told her that we had multiple deceased and she began investigating who would be assigned ML numbers
(ML is the case number a deceased is assigned for the Harris County Medical Examiner's Office). I told her that I
was meeting with possible family and would contact her back afterwards.
I met with Assistant Chief B. Tien and Lt. Pleasant with Victim Services. B. Tien and Pleasant told us one of the
possible victim's parents are inside the facility. B. Tien provided us with a photo of John Hilgert. We compared that
photo with one that Sgt. Horn had taken. The deceased male appeared to have the similar physical
characteristics and features as the photo the family had provided for John Hilgert.
Pleasant stated Nichole Hilgert (mother) said her son wore a James Avery necklace. That was consistent with the

Narrative
deceased at the hospital. M. Barrow and I told B. Tien that usually we wait for identification from the Medical
Examiner's Office for positive Identification. We run the risk of misidentifying people if it is premature. This the
case when the deceased is a juvenile and/or a person without governmental documentation. However, the
decision was made to tell Chris and Nichole Hilgert that we believe the deceased individual was their son due to
the photo and clothing description in order to lessen the worrisome burden of the unknown as it could take days
for the Medical Examiner's Office to come back with a positive Identification.
M. Barrow, C. Lafour, Pleasant, B. Tien, Officer A. Sierra, and I met with John Hilgert's parents in a private room
and relayed the news that their son was a possible victim. We provided them with contact to the Medical
Examiner's Office, this case number and my contact information. We told them that there is not much they could
do at this point due to us telling them prematurely that their son had passed but not fully identified.
John Hilgert's parents requested to see the body. I later spoke with the Medical Examiner's Office who spoke with
the Charge Nurse at Memorial Hermann.
They stated the charge nurse would allow them to see the body.
7.) Victim's Services:
M. Barrow and I met with Victim's Services. Their task was to speak with families and friends of possible lost loved
ones. We worked with them in the early parts of this investigation by providing identification of deceased and
possible contacts.
8.) Returning to 1200 Travis:
M. Barrow and I returned to our office. We began notifying Chain of Command, requesting subpoenas, requesting
911 calls, requesting HFD run sheets. All of this is customary for a "normal" homicide investigation. Due to the
severity of the incident, I sent the following list to Chief Finner:

(This list was the first draft. Also, if the list mentions "possible OD". That is not concrete information provided by
doctors or the medical examiner's office. That is speculation due to a preliminary investigation. This list was for
law enforcement personnel only and was in the early stages of the investigation. If the victim was listed as a
possible overdose, it was due to lack of injuries observed and that this scene was initially believed to be multiple
victims of fentanyl.)
9.) Follow Up with Harris County Medical Examiner's Office:

I called the Medical Examiner's Office and learned one of the victim's had Fahin Shahriar's wallet in a pocket. I
later learned from M.E. Investigator Karina that their office reached out to Fahin's family and learned Fahin was
okay. The family told the M.E. Investigators that Fahin was reporting his wallet stolen.
10.) HPD Report 1494310-21:
I read HPD report for Ezra Blount and his father.
11.) Meeting with Commander K. Deese:
I contacted my direct supervisor M. Brady and told him about our assignment (M. Brady's regular day off was
Saturday / Sunday so he was not at work). He stated he was coming in to assist. M. Barrow, M. Brady, and I met
with HPD Homicide Commander K. Deese to relay the information that we had initially received and to catch
everyone up with the investigation. We learned of HPD Personnel being at the scene and that Drake was the
"mystery guest". We learned of Alex Pollock being over Paradox ( ). We learned A.C. Satterwhite
and A.C. Skillern would be officers to speak with about the investigation. We also learned from Commander K.
Deese that there was a security guard that was allegedly pricked in the neck with an unknown substance. The
security guard was transported to a medical tent and upon revival with Narcan; told the medical personnel that he
was on parole, then left.
12.) Investigation Summary at this Point:
At this point of the investigation, we knew we had eight deceased, one declared "brain dead" and one intubated at
TCH. We were following leads of a male that was allegedly pricked in the neck with something that made him
pass out. We learned he was transported to the medical tent and when he came to, he told medical staff what had
happened. The individual was believed to be a security guard, stated he was on parole, and left the scene.
We knew of the fentanyl information provided by nightshift and believed it stemmed from this pricked in the neck
security guard. We knew that we had multiple interviews to conduct, records to subpoena, video footage to obtain.
I was in contact with Victim's Services as I was being asked updates for the deceased, next of kin, and whether or
not the next of kin had been notified of the deceased. I relayed the information the Medical Examiner's Office
takes time to completely identify some deceased.
M. Brady and I continued the investigation by following up with Fahin's wallet at Memorial Hermann.
13.) Hospital Follow Up:
M. Brady and I went to Memorial Hermann in the Texas Medical Center. We spoke with security who spoke to
their authorities. We were told though the wallet was allegedly stolen per its owner, we were not able to obtain the
wallet without a subpoena in which we did not have.
M. Brady and I went to Texas Children's Hospital in the Texas Medical Center as I was unable to receive any
information on Ezra Blount over the phone. Upon our arrival, we were escorted to Ezra's room. I spoke with Ezra's
father and recorded our conversation via audio/video recording with my city issued cell phone. The recording was
as follows:
We then left Texas Children's and went to Methodist Hospital. There, I met with Medical Staff and learned Bharti
Shahani was listed as two individuals. M. Brady and I was escorted to Bharti's room and we met her father and
mother. We extended our condolences and I exchanged contact information with Bharti's father; Sunny Shahani
). He told us his daughter was accompanied by his nephew and her sister at the concert.
14.) End of Day One:
J. Caten, M. Barrow and M. Brady continued to discuss this investigation throughout the rest of the day
(11/06/2021). I began working this Supplement, going over my notes, and reviewing media information about the
case.

Anonymous tip information
Narrative
Anonymous Tip:
On November 9, 2021, I, Sgt. A. Lopez with the Homicide Division received an anonymous tip for follow up
review. The tipster did not leave a name nor a call back number but stated before the show there was a group of
about 30 males having a meeting in the Panda Express and Chipotle parking lots near the stadium and believes it
to be related to the Astroworld Festival. No further details were provided as to how these individuals may have
been involved.
On November 21, 2021, I conducted a Google Maps search of the nearest Chipotle and Panda Express
restaurants near NRG Park and came across both restaurants located at 8505 Main St. which is about 0.8 miles
northwest of 1 Reliant Pkwy. I first called the Chipotle restaurant ( ) and did not receive an answer. I
then followed up with Panda Express ( ) and spoke with Christine who stated she was working the
night of the Astroworld Festival and did not recall seeing a group of approximately 30 males having a meeting in
their parking lot and that it appeared to be business as usual in and outside their establishment.

compl Patino's cell phone mailed to his attorney.
Narrative
I, Lt. , am currently assigned to the Narcotics Division and had recovered a cell phone from compl
Patino the night of his death. HPD was not able to access the contents of the phone and it was forwarded to the
DA's office for examination. They were not able to access the contents either, and did not believe they would be
able to in the near future.
I received a phone call, and later an email, from the family attorney requesting the return of the phone when we
were done analyzing it. I contacted Sgt Brady in Homicide who authorized me to return the phone. On 12-7-21 I
mailed the phone to the attorney.

Exporting and Merging of Surveillance Video
Detective Sgt. K. Daignault
Homicide Division, Murder Squad 3
******************************************
I Sgt. K. Daignault assigned to Homicide Division, Murder Squad 3 was approached by Detectives Caten and
Barrow assigned to this investigation. The provided me a hard drive with surveillance video from the Travis Scott
Astro Event. They explained the Departments Bit9 software blocks them from viewing the surveillance video on
their city issued computer. Due to the amount of video needing to review, they want to be able to continuously
review surveillance on their city issued desktop or any other city issued desktop, instead of one the select
computers without Bit9 on it.
Based on their initial explanation of Bit9 blocking them, I determined the surveillance video was exported with the
player and video intertwined as one. Some DVR's have different options regarding how the video is exported, with
player, without player, .AVI, .DAV or .MP4 video files. With this particular DVR, it is due to selecting to export the
video with an encryption with passcode to access. They provided me with user name passcode to access the
surveillance video on the drive.
After starting the Smart-Client player software, I entered the username and passcode to access the surveillance
video. I found this play did provide the option to re-export video from the player. I selected a short time period and
found the video can be exported from that player as an AVI or MKV files by selecting the desired codec from a
drop-down menu.

Narrative
Initial findings
I found the fastest way to export lossless video was to select MKV (Matroska Video) file, initially it did not give the
option to include the date stamp. I selected AVI video format and was able to select to include the date stamp.
After selecting it, I changed back to MKV and the box remained checked. I selected camera 1 and exported all the
video available fairly quickly, but found the required (to identify incidents and find them again) date stamp was still
not included.
I selected AVI option to export the video, which allowed me to select to include the date stamp. I found a list of
codecs to choose from, but there was only one Lossless video codec in the list, which was Lagarith Lossless
Video Codec (See Below).
**** I located the official website for Lagarith Lossless Video Codec. Below is a summary of the codec, from their
website.
Lagarith is a lossless video codec intended for editing and archiving. Lagarith offers better compression than
codecs like Huffyuv, Alparysoft, and CorePNG. There are a few lossless codecs that can compress better than
Lagarith, such as MSU and FFV1; however, Lagarith tends to be faster than these codecs. Lagarith is able to
operate in several colorspaces - RGB24, RGB32, RGBA, YUY2, and YV12. For DVD video, the compression is
typically only 10-30% better than Huffyuv. However, for high static scenes or highly compressible scenes, Lagarith
significantly outperforms Huffyuv. Lagarith is able to outperform Huffyuv due to the fact that it uses a much better
compression method. Pixel values are first predicted using median prediction (the same method used when
"Predict Median" is selected in Huffyuv). This results in a much more compressible data stream. In Huffyuv, this
byte stream would then be compress using Huffman compression. In Lagarith, the byte stream may be subjected
to a modified Run Length Encoding if it will result in better compression. The resulting byte stream from that is
then compressed using Arithmetic compression, which, unlike Huffman compression, can average fractional bits
per symbol. This allows the compressed size to be very close to the entropy of the data, and is why Lagarith can
compress simple frames much better than Huffyuv, and avoid expanding high static video. Additionally, Lagarith
has support for null frames; if the previous frame is mathematically identical to the current, the current frame is
discarded and the decoder will simply use the previous frame again.
This codec was build using the Huffyuv source as a template, and uses some Huffyuv code, most notably the
routine to upsample YUY2 video to RGB and to perform pixel prediction on YUY2 video.
Video Export
I started with four cameras (S01, S02, S12 and S13) that captured the stage. I selected from the start to finish for
each camera. After starting the export, I found it was not like exported the Video as MKV file. The video was
exporting extremely slow and was creating large files for short amounts of time periods. I canceled the export after
very little progress in exporting after several hours. I then decided to select and export one camera at a time and
selected to export all available video. I found the export was moving along a bit faster, but still very slow, with
large files. I decided to narrow down the time frame needing to export for each of the four cameras.
Using the player, I was able to quickly scan each camera to determine the times people started to become more
frequent in that cameras view. This was to reduce the time of export. Below is the times exported for the main four
cameras covering the area around the stage and crowd around the main stage.
Camera S01 - 12 noon (11/05/21) - 1am (11/06/21)
Camera S02 - 10:30am (11/05/21) - 8:51pm (11/05/21) - no video available after the end time.
Camera S12 - 8:38am (11/05/21) - 1:15am (11/06/21)
Camera S13 - 7am (11/05/21) - 1am (11/06/21)
Converting and Merging Video Files

After exporting each camera, I used Movavi 2021 video converter that is licensed and purchased by the
department to convert and merge the videos to an mp4 video file format.
I put the merged video files for the four cameras in a separate folder on the hard drive they provided me and
returned it to Det. Barrow and Caten.
Suppl No
1490724-21 0041
Narrative
IMPORTANT NOTE: The full original exported video was not removed from the drive or player; all camera
footage will remain available in the original export for complete review with time stamps. None of the files
created when exported through the player were cropped, clipped or edited when they were converted.
Once converted the files were merely added to the program in order and simply made into one file to
allow continuous review of video.

Supplement Coverage - November 8, 2021 - December 12, 2021
Over the course of the last couple of weeks, M. Barrow, M. Casso, M. Brady, SIU Division, Major Assaults
Division, Texas DPS, F.B.I., Harris County D.A.'s Office, and I worked this case. For clarity, M. Barrow, M. Brady,
M. Casso, and I worked on a Case Timeline to document our actions on this case. In addition, we documented via
writing our own supplements. It is important to understand this investigation was very fluid with multiple moving
parts; multi-agencies and divisions alike. Rather than do multiple 1 day supplements for the four of us, I believe it
would be more organized to loop majority of follow up investigation in supplements.
1.) Introduction
2.) Multi-Division Investigation
3.) Multi-Agency Investigation
4.) Medical Examiner Notification
5.) Lawyer Involvement
6.) Speaking with Family Members & Lawyers
7.) Beginning Subpoenas
8.) Information Provided to Myself - J. Caten (Contains Important Activity Log)
9.) Travis Scott Documentary Notes
1.) Introduction:
After day one of the investigation (November 5, 2021), I began working on this case daily. I documented our
actions for Day 2 (November 6, 2021) after the incident had occurred the night before (Day 1; November 5, 2021)
in Supplement #33. Sergeant M. Brady, Sergeant M. Casso, Detective M. Barrow and myself all took part in this
investigation. We are assigned to Murder Squad 1 in the HPD Homicide Division. I volunteered to keep things
organized for this investigation. As information came in, I found the appropriate source to filter the information to. I
believed it was best to make two case files. This case file would be the Master Case. I generated a Companion
Case file which is documented under HPD 1505093-21 . This would allow the deceased to be listed as
complainants under this case number while all other victims of the incident that survived would be documented
under the Companion Case file. I also began drafting diagrams, time-logs, and assisted in push-pinning a map
indicating decedent's approximate location, cameras, emergency personnel.
I kept track of a Deceased Log, their information, family's information and lawyer contact. As a team, we continued
to work a Case Timeline Over the course of the next few weeks, we would review hours of concert footage. We

had meetings with our Command Staff and Commander. I worked with the Harris County D.A.'s Office. Initially, I
worked with A.D.A. C. Calligan because he is a prosecutor I have worked with well in the past. I was later told
D.A. K. Ogg appointed A.D.A. M. Lavine to assist with the investigation and I began going through M. Lavine for
subpoenas and legal direction with the case.
Per Commander K. Deese, we could pass along different tasks to different divisions within the department. The
four of us would receive anonymous tips, calls to the division, voicemails, forwarded messages, and evidence for
the case. As the evidence / information came in, we would send it back out to the appropriate assigned Division
(unless it needed to be only added to the case file). Squad 1 worked closely with S.I.U. (Special Investigative Unit)
The S.I.U. Division began working on interviews with officers, statements, and Body Worn Camera (BWC)
footage. We worked with M.A.U. (Major Assaults Unit) for injured victim follow up. I passed along the victims from
the first night and any other injured victim I learned of to M.A.U. to investigate. We worked with Narcotics for any
possible drug related lead in the investigation. Videos that needed to be edited in a quick manner were sent to
Officer H. Nguyen of HPD Homicide.
As the investigation continued, more outside entities began to assist. D.P.S. (Department of Public Safety) took
over investigating the security guard companies involved. F.B.I. (Federal Bureau of Investigation) stated they
would be there should we need their assistance.
For my own supplemental work product for this investigation, I will be splitting up the documentation over different
supplements.

4.) Medical Examiner Notification:
On November 7, 2021, I spoke with Harris County Medical Examiner Doctor Dr. Hopson. She told me that she
had completed the autopsy of two individuals. She stated there are four doctors and each doctor has taken two
autopsies. She stated all autopsies have been completed but she would only speak on behalf of her two victims.
She stated she conducted autopsies on Franco Patino and an unknown male (the individual who had Fahin's
wallet in his pocket and was later identified as Axel Acosta).

Narrative
On November 10, 2021, M. Barrow, M. Brady, M. Casso, and I went to the Harris County Institute of Forensic
Sciences (Harris County Medical Examiner's Office). The meeting was hosted in an auditorium on the first floor of
the building located at 1861 Old Spanish Trail in Houston, Texas within Harris County. The meeting consisted of
eight autopsies (Ezra Blount and Bharti Shahani had not yet been declared deceased). We share information and
video footage of the case with the doctors as well. The following people were in attendance:
Cameron Calligan
M. Barrow
J. Caten
M. Levine

On December 9, 2021, we were notified by Kaleigh DeMeter of the Harris County Medical Examiner's Office that
we would be attending a follow up Autopsy Meeting to discuss toxicology and exchange notes on December 15,
2021.
5.) Lawyer Involvement
Due to the nature of this case; complainants, witnesses, companies, and employees of companies began to hire
lawyers early on. This was something the four of us had not experienced before in working murder cases /
investigations. There are cases in which individuals would go about hiring lawyers but in this case it appears
almost every individual we attempted to speak to had hired a lawyer. In some cases, we have been unable to
reach clients or have been delayed in continuing our investigation by waiting for a lawyer's response. We would
be contacted by lawyers after attempting to reach individuals involved in the investigation or their corporations.
6,) Speaking with Family Members & Lawyers:
M. Barrow, , and I attempted to speak with the victim's families. We were able to speak with
some family members early in the investigation. However, all of the families would go on to hire lawyers and we
honored that notion by corresponding with the lawyers going forward. The families below are the families that I

after I met with him at the hospital. I asked a few times to speak to his daughter and nephew that were at the

to his lawyer Mohammed Lassiter. After that, our contact ceased and I began to go through the lawyer for future
questions.

grieve. He stated he would later contact me to ask some questions about the investigation. I contacted him
approximately a week or so later. I asked if I could speak with Olivia Swingle and his brother Basil Baig who I had
learned was with Mirza at the concert. He stated he would provide my contact to them.
After I never heard from the Baig family; my Sergeant M. Casso reached out to them. Ammar told him that their
lawyer would contact him. He was later contacted by Attorney Michael Lyons representing the Baig family.

when he died and he told me that he traveled alone. I was later contacted by Mauricio Guevara, also representing
the Acosta family via Tony Buzzbee Law Firm. He inquired about Acosta's phone. I told him that it was in HPD
Property Room.

him that I had learned of the possibility of Acosta meeting someone after meeting with the Medical Examiner's
Office. Mauricio Guevara told me that it was unconfirmed information and would look into it. He called me back
and stated Acosta traveled alone. I asked him to verify if Acosta met with anyone that he knew at a motel or went
to the concert with anyone. He stated he would call me back after he found out. After not hearing from him,
Sergeant M. Casso contacted him and learned he had traveled alone and is not sure if he went to the concert with

7.) Beginning Subpoenas:
This case contains multiple subpoenas to different entities. We received the subpoenas sporadically over the
course of the investigation. Usually we would draft a request for a subpoena, send it over to the Harris County
District Attorney's Office, once we received said subpoena, we would then forward the subpoena to the
appropriate source. This section of the Supplement is to document the subpoena, the date in which it was signed,
and the attorney it was signed by.

Safety Concerns
SAR/Threat Level: There are no known credible threats for this event.
Harris County Covid-19 Threat Level: ORANGE
Level 2: Minimize ALL Contacts Unless Fully Vaccinated (Significant Threat)
Level 2 signifies a significant and uncontrolled level of COVID-19 in Harris County, meaning that there is ongoing
transmission of the virus. At this level, unvaccinated people should minimize contact with others, avoid any
medium or large gatherings, and only visit permissible businesses that follow public health guidance.
Unvaccinated individuals should continue to mask, physical distance, and avoid all gatherings. Vaccinated
individuals should follow the latest local public health guidance on whether to also wear a mask while indoors in
public places, in crowded outdoor settings, and for activities with close contact with others who are not fully
vaccinated.
As with any public event, the main goal is to keep everyone safe. We continue to face threatening environments,
as foreign terrorist groups exploit the Internet to inspire, enable, or encourage recruits to adopt easy-to-use tools
to target "public events" and "large gatherings" with proven ability to conduct mass casualty attacks in the
Homeland
.

Homemade IEDs : Bags, backpacks, suitcases, or packages - incidents in which the subject attempted to place,
conceal, or walk away from the item, or items which may contain large or heavy objects.
Small arms: knives, firearms, grenades
Vehicle Ramming Attacks : auto, truck, aircraft
Other potential attack methods include: Mechanical IEDs: such as modified on-site propane tanks & VBIEDs:

9.) Travis Scott Documentary Notes:
On December 5, 2021, I watched a Netflix Documentary called "Travis Scott, Look Mom I Can Fly" produced in
2019. In the documentary:
Personnel talk about the crowds and how people try to get out that cannot breath. It also brought up:
Travis Scott telling security to let people through. It also show when Trais Scott was arrested for inciting a riot
in Arkansas.
I watched the documentary to attempt to get a sense of the crowd actions and similarities to past events if
any. I did notice similar metal barriers in some of the footage.
Travis interacts with his crowd often and will at times stand between the security and the crowd (according
from the documentary).
The documentary goes onto Astroworld in 2018. Travis can be seen asking to spread open the crowd as
people are passed out. He also asks people to put up their hands like he did in this past incident.
The documentary shows a lot of how Travis Scott prepared for Astroworld. Multiple aspects of concert footage
is shown. It also shows Emmy Grammy nominations.

Introduction
*************
On Saturday, November 6th, 2021, at approximately 12:45 AM, I received a call from my partner, Detective J.
Caten advising me of an incident that occurred at NRG Park involving the death of several people involved with
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:11 Page 2 of 14
Suppl No

Narrative
the Travis Scott, Astroworld Festival. According to the Night Shift Desk personnel who received the call and
transferred it to Detective Caten and I, this investigation involved a possible overdose of all of the individuals
involved. There was very limited at the time we received this call and the facts would change as we gathered
more information.
Detective Caten drove to my personal residence and we rode in my city-issued vehicle to the scene. We were
initially told that the scene was located at 1 Reliant Pkwy. Upon our arrival to the area of NRG Park, we
discovered that the crime scene could more accurately described as the Yellow Lot, which is a separate parking
lot/grounds area where the entirety of the Festival unfolded.
Upon our arrival at the scene, we were met by the following Crime Scene Investigators with the Houston Forensic
Science Center with their Unit numbers (with exception to C. Haynes):
J. Millhollon,
M. Duncan,
K. Busack,
S. Lambert,
M. Ayala,
T. Soto,
C. Haynes
We were later accompanied on-scene by members of the Homicide Division - Special Investigation Unit along with
members of Homicide - Murder Squad 8 (Nights). Individuals from each of those squads visited the various
hospitals where victims were transported and collected preliminary identification information regarding each of
them (those names were compiled on a list created by Detective Caten).
Murder Squad 8 (Nights) who were at the scene:
Sgt. Horn
Sgt. Meek
Detective Laflour
Detective Overstreet
Scene Description
******************
We arrived in the area of NRG Park and had difficulty locating the scene. We consulted with Officers in an area
designated as the Orange lot who advised us that we needed to go to the Yellow lot. We located the Yellow lot
which had several CSU trucks parked near the scene.
This was our first time at this location and it was not clear where the crime scene was. We noted that there was
crime scene tape which surrounded what we believe to be the main stage and its adjoining structures which
included barricades, towers, and an assortment of equipment. The entire lot adjacent to the stage and the
barricade "pens" appeared to have been cleaned up. There were numerous large black trash bags on the ground
throughout the area and fresh tire marks on the ground. There were not employees of the park that I could see at
the time we were surveying the area.
Yellow lot is bordered to the north by McNee Rd, east: Lantern Point Drive, south: Murworth Drive, and west: S
Main Street. The main stage area which can be described as a mountain shaped structure with an adjoining stage
followed by several barricaded areas, all of which was in a grassy/dirt patch which was in between a concrete
parking lot to the north and to the south. The barricaded areas immediately in front of the stage had the ground
covered in a plastic flooring.
**The case file will contain several photos include aerial photos of the entire area and close ups of the stage and
immediate area.
Instructions to Crime Scene Unit
We instructed CSU to open all of the garbage bags that we believed were items left over from the concert
attendees which had been swept up and collected by park employees. Contents were photographed and due to
the fact that we were originally told that this was overdose related, we instructed them to collect any narcotics

material that they could find. We also told them we wanted to area mapped out along with drone footage and
accurate measurements.
Phone Conversation with Travis Scott's Manager, David Stromberg
**********************************************************
David Stromberg
DOB:
*Interviewed on 11/07
He stated that he was aware there would be pressure up against the barricades. He stated that in the past there
have been some scary moments with big rushes and people stampeding, but he did not see anything like that
during this concert.
He stated that after the fact when he heard that people were hurt in a crowd surge, it did not make sense to him
because he did not see anything like that happen at the concert. He acknowledged that there could have been
pushing, shoving, and other chaotic situations occurring in the crowd as people were getting pulled out, but he did
not see one singular rush or surge.
He stated from his perspective, the people that were getting hurt were all coming from one spot or section. He
stated that towards the second half or the end of the show, right around the time that Drake took the stage, at
least one person was being pulled out of the crowd. He stated that it was around that time the lights were turned
on. He stated the show was stopped and the lights went on, which happened a couple of times during the show.
He stated that he (referring to Travis) has been trained to stop/pause the show if he sees anything happening in
the crowd, then he would divert security to that location. He stated that it kept happening after the first time the
show was stopped and Travis told him that it was hard to tell what was really going on.
He stated in one instance that he sent his personal security guy, Michael Brown over to an area where something
was happening in order to be helpful. This went on up until the point where Drake came on and did a couple of
songs and communications were sent to Travis's hear/headset saying, we needed to shut it down and he ended
the show right there.
He stated that it seemed like in that time, about 10-15 minutes, everything was happening with people located in
the same or similar spot. He stated that afterwards, when he could take in what had happened, it sounded like to
him that it had something to do with drugs and not a stampede. He stated he went to the medical area and he
thought that the people had taken something bad and they were foaming at the mouth. He did not notice any
injuries that to him would come from a stampede event. He stated that he and Mike (Michael Brown) went over to
the lot where the police were in order to be helpful or to provide information. He stated he connected one of the
Officers with Larry (Apple Inc.) who then was able to get in touch with Detectives.
I asked him if Travis was on the stage by himself when that 10-15 minutes transpired when he thinks some of the
incident may have occurred. He stated that Travis was alone on stage and it happened maybe one or two songs
before Drake took the stage with him. He stated at one point, Travis stopped it and one guy was brought out from
the crowd before Drake took the stage. He thinks that Travis stopped the show a total of three times before he
was told to shut it down.
I asked him if he witnessed any narcotics activity taking place in the crowd. He stated he definitely saw people
smoking. He recalled his time in the medical tent a few people talking about a guy, possibly a security guard that
had been stuck by a needle and then later revived.
I asked him how many surges or clustering of people did he observe in the crowd. He stated that it was hard to
say because there really was not a specific moment when a surge occurred. He stated that he noticed that people
were trying to get out. He stated that people were falling on the ground which created a panic and caused people
to try to get out. He stated that he saw people jumping over the barricade. He stated that the barricade down the
middle is there to relieve the pressure and to get people out in an emergency. At the very end of the show,
everyone was jumping over the barricade, which normally would not be allowed but security permitted it in order to
get everyone out.

Narrative
It was reiterated that this was not a all at once stampede scenario. He stated that it looked like several isolated
events where small groups of people were trying to get out.
Regarding the Festival, the entire event itself was supposed to go from 1-11. He stated Travis's performance was
meant to go to 9-10:30, but Travis ended just after 10 due to the need to shut it down. I asked him if Travis made
the decision to shut it down or if that came from someone else. He stated that Travis did not know what was going
on. He stated that after Travis had stopped the show a couple of times and saw that there were injuries, someone
came on stage, he stated that he was not sure if they were police. They used a microphone in order to talk to
Travis and they told him that we have to shut it down. He stated this happened while Drake was on stage. When
Drake exited the stage, Travis did his last song and said goodbye to everyone, shutting it down right at 10 pm.
David talked to us about Larry from Apple Music and provided us contact information for him and other people
who filmed the event.

Interview with Travis Scott
**************************
On 11/07/2021 Detective Caten and I went to the residence of Jacques Webster (DOB ), also known
by the name Travis Scott which is the name we referred to him by throughout this interview. We were directed by
private security into a room inside the residence where Travis was seated at a table. The other people in
attendance were: David Burns; Transactional Attorney, Kent Shaffer; Attorney, David Stromberg; Manager,
Vanessa Wather; Attorney Investigator, and Michael Brown; Travis Personal Security. There was another female
in the room who stated that she was Travis's day to day manager but I did not get her name. The following is a
summary/key points and not verbatim but rather compiled in accordance with the topics covered during the
interview. A copy of the interview will be kept with the case file.
Introductions
The interview began with Travis confirming his date of birth. I advised him that we had already spoke with David
his manager and his lawyer Kent Shaffer and briefed them on what we were going to discuss with him today. I told
him that we were there to understand the facts related to this tragic incident from his own perspective.
Travis paused and began his statement saying that his fans mean everything to him. Travis expressed emotion
and I told him to take his time while he gathered his thoughts. I reassured him that we could not fully understand
what he was feeling at that time, but also stressed the importance of him sharing with us his perspectives and
observations while he was on stage. I acknowledged to him that we did not expect him to notice everything going
on in the crowd but it was important that we understood what he did see starting from when he first took the stage.
Activity Earlier in the Day

He stated that he remained in his trailer/dressing room area for the entire day before the performance. He and his
team expressed to us that he was sad that he could not go out to be with his fans during the festival. But he and
his team knew that there could have been problems if he had gone out there and he did not want there to be any
incidents. He talked about the singer lineup for the day that went on before his show. He stated they were all
mellow and there was nothing crazy that would rev up the crowd before his performance.
Travis told us to look at the footage from just before his performance and to watch the people coming from the first
stage over this his stage. He stated that it was calm and there was not anyone rushing or acting crazy getting
over to his stage.
The Performance
Travis stated that he popped up through the stage and everything looked like it has always looked for the past ten
years that he has been performing. He stated that everyone was jumping up and down, it looked like a sea of
people, and it was dark. He stated there were lights in his face and he was just trying to go through the show. His
focus was to put on a good show.

Narrative
Travis recalled a point in the show, there was something going on somewhere in the front. He stated that he
stopped the show, had the lights turned on and clear the stuff out that was happening. He stated anytime there is
a situation (referring to his experience with past shows), he normally tells everyone to back up and once the
person is in medical hands he leaves it to them and continues his show unless it is something else.
Travis described the crowd as people who were having fun, celebrating, going through the barricades, smiling,
putting up their phones to record. He stated that he is calling out to his fans and being responsive with them and
telling them in certain situation to put their middle fingers up in the air or to put two hands up. He stated that
usually if nobody hands is going up or if there is people backing up then there is a problem. He drew from his past
experiences and how he tries to get a read on the crowd and take notice to their level of participation.
Travis stated that he was on the stage with Drake later on during the concert. He stated that Drake did a few
songs on his own while he remained on stage. He did not look out on the crowd at that time. Travis stated that to
understand his perspective from the stage, he could only see so far into the crowd.
At one point, he stated that he recalled seeing the lights in the crowd and he could not tell what was going on. He
stated that he told everyone in the back of the crowd, "if everyone is okay, put a finger up, and put a middle finger
up". He stated that everyone put a middle finger up. He stated that was his call, and he thought that everything
was good. Unless he was told that he needed to stop or get off now, he would have done it.
We asked if he at any point heard the crowd telling him to stop the show. He stated that if he had heard something
like that he would have done something. The first time he realized something was wrong or rather that there was
a problem was when he was on the lift and he noticed the person down near the stage who then received medical
attention.
Travis talked more about what he observed from the crowd including what he saw after recently watching the live
stream video. He stated that he saw different sections of the crowd "chilling", or recording on their phones,
laughing, walking in and out. He stated there were moments when the whole crowd was "super chill".
One member of Travis's staff explained that the auto tune equipment attached to Travis's microphone may have
distorted his directive to the crowd when he told them to put their middle fingers up to the sky if they were alright,
she stated that it may have sounded like he was singing. Travis stated that he believed that the crowd did
understand him when he gave that directive. He stated that he has been doing this for a long time and he noted
that when the people are not doing what he is asking them, then there is a problem.
Travis talked some more about the golf cart that got stuck in the crowd and how it confused him. He stated that
his performances are known to get crazy and he has seen a lot of different things. He and his staff then talked
about the person that was seen dancing on top of the cart, but he stated he did not say anything to encourage
that. He noticed that the fans in that area were still enjoying the show and so he did not think there was a problem.
We asked Travis on whether he noticed mosh pits in the crowd. He stated that in this performance there were not
as many has he expected compared to other performances. He talked more about how he re-watched the
performance and noted the crowd and also how "dialed in" he was to his performance.
Travis noted that after he watched the video stream of the concert he noticed the "waves" of people happening
around and towards the back. But by the end of the show, the crowd was more "mellow" and there was not much
movement. Travis stated this added to the confusion as to how this incident could have happened.
Notification of the Deaths
Travis stated that he exited to the rear of the stage and went to his trailer. A friend of his walked in and told him
that something had happened during the concert and told him that someone was receiving CPR. At that time he
thought they were talking about one person. About forty minutes later, he was given another update that maybe
there were two people. That was when he started to ask himself what was going on. By the time he got home
there was a press conference around two or three in the morning and that was when he learned more about the
number of deceased.
We described to Travis where we thought the affected area(s) were, or at least where most of the people were

Narrative
pulled from in the crowd. We also told him how we received the call to investigate this case.
Show Start/End Time
Travis stated that he was not following a set guide regarding where on stage he needed to be throughout the
performance. He typically would work the stage and follow the crowd's energy to different sections of the stage.
He stated that he was supposed to go on stage at 8:45 PM and normally he performs until curfew which is 11 PM.
He normally continues to do songs and the time extends depending on guests and other things. He would
continue until he is told to get off which is normally around curfew.
Special Instructions
Travis stated that towards the middle/end of the show, just before the guest (Drake) took the stage, he was
instructed to end the show after he (Drake) was done. He stated that normally if it was something drastic,
someone would have to come hit the button or pull the plug.
Travis recalled all of the noise from the speakers and the music from his DJ communicating into his ear piece. But
he also said it varies on who can talk to him from the control room to tell him what is going on.
Travis stated again, that around the time Drake came out, in his words he was told by "them", "yo, this is gonna to
have to be like the last song". He stated the he acknowledged receiving that message but no one told that it was
an emergency. He stated that it is usually protocol that they keep him up to date of the time stamp. He mentioned
that right when he (Drake) got off, he was told that was it, he had to wrap it up and it was time to go. He was not
told the extent of what the emergency was.
I asked Travis to specify what he was instructed to do from the message that was transmitted to him. He stated
that the message was that when Drake comes on stage and then when he (Drake) finishes, he needed to wrap up
the show and they stated that they were going to let him know (if anything changes). I asked him who
communicated that message to him. He stated that it was just a voice from someone out there but he did not
know who. I asked him again if the voice told him what was going on and he said that it did not.
He stated that after Drake left the stage he received no other communications about what was going on. He just
ended the show as planned.
Later in the interview, we asked Travis again what he was told in his earpiece, adding if in actuality he did end his
show on time and the message he received was normal. He clarified by stating he was told in his earpiece, "yo
Trav, you got to wrap it up, its getting kinda hectic out there". He stated again that he was supposed to go until
10:30 but he was told to stop short after Drake got off the stage. Again, there was no mention to the severity of the
situation.
Stage and Procedures
I confirmed with Travis that the area closest to the stage is the VIP area which is divided by a barrier and then
another area for the general population. Travis went on to describe the stage and how far it extended in each
direction, and how there was an open space right in front of him for passage. Travis drew out how the area
looked and explained how there was another stage where most of the people came from watching other
performances earlier in the day. He explained where they would have entered his staging area and he showed us
how far he was from the actual crowd. He explained the areas down the middle where security and other people
could flow through.
I asked him about the images that I have seen of him on an elevated platform. He indicated that was located at
the front of the stage. He stated he was on the platform for about two or three songs. During that time, he spotted
someone waving their hands at him near the stage and that was when he told everyone to back up and to get
medical to that area. For the remainder of his time on that platform, he was not observing the crowd. He stated he
was in a "trance" going through his performance and getting into the music. He noted that there was not a "high
commotion" and that everybody was just looking at him perform.
He stated that anytime that he does see something going on, his first reaction would be, "yo, what the fuck is
going on, somebody go figure that out". He stated that he would call security in those situations when normally

Narrative
other artists might not do the same. Returning to this scenario, he stated that he just could not tell what was going
on in the crowd.
Michael Brown stated that the safety/security notifications were relied on by the venue security. But he also said
that if they personally saw something, they would take action. He mentioned the person who passed out near the
stage while Travis was on the elevated platform and how they responded immediately to assist with that.
David stated that what he found was frustrating about this situation was that you could see people coming over
the barriers or being grabbed out of the barriers but they had no idea how bad it was. He stated that it was not
uncommon for all of there shows for someone to pass out, get dehydrated, and get pulled out of the crowd.
Michael Brown stated that the moment that they as a team knew that something was wrong, they stopped the
show. He stated the show was supposed to go longer, but he stopped the show. He stated that he walked back
there and saw one of the dead bodies and decided that they needed to stop this, nobody told them to. He stated
that the cops should have done that (told them to stop).
Michael stated that he was positioned all over the place. He described it as "floating", walking around the opening
between the barriers around the stage. Due to the way this venue was set up. He and the rest of his security team
had to position themselves in the "pit" beneath or in front of the stage. He stated that normally they would be on
the stage or just back stage but this time they could not.
I asked about how long in advance did they plan and know the logistics of the event. David stated that they have
been planning and working with both Live Nation and the Venue for over a year on this entire stage and design. I
asked if they had a site manager or safety inspector and if that person told them anything about making changes
to the layout due to problems. David stated that no one told them anything and the design was approved. Travis
interjected and stated that they were not going to design anything that was not safe, citing safety first.
Michael stated that it was on the local developers and those that they hired to ensure that the plans were safe.
David mentioned that he could introduce us to the company BWG which was the infrastructure/planning vendor
that was hired for this event. He stated they were hired by Live Nation to work in conjunction with NRG Park and
Houston Fire officials to design, build, and sign-off on the structure and event. BWG and these other entities will
decide the placement of the barricades and the capacity. David stated that none of those decisions were in their
hands (Travis's team).
At one point during the planning stages, David recalled asking them if they had enough barricades in the park.
They replied that they designed it in such a way to allow for more security mobility and to get people up and over
the barricades as needed. The "cross" design in the middle was supposed to help the other two sides.
Previous Performances
Travis stated that he has performed in a lot of places and at times he has received instructions to stop and he
would comply. David, his manager stated that at Astroworld 2019, the show went all the way to curfew and the
police intervened and requested the show be stopped. The police cut the sound and they had to get off the stage.
Travis stated that instance was more of a time thing, in which they were about to go over the time limit, not so
much regarding safety.
Detective Caten ask if they have every done any shows in the past where they had to stop the show due to a
medical emergency situation. Travis stated that they did a show in Chicago, Lalapalooza which had about 50 or
60 thousand people in attendance. He spoke about past incidents that occurred earlier in his career in which he
got charged or he had to go to court and all that. He stated that he told himself after those experiences that he
would never let something like that happen again.
Travis recited to us the times when he has gotten into legal trouble at his concerts, such as Chicago and
Arkansas. He stated that in those situations, the set up was different in comparison to Astroworld. David
interjected and stated that Travis told the attendees in Arkansas who were in seats to come closer towards the
stage, which created some problems. Since that instance, David stated that they no longer encourage people to
come forward.

Narrative
Michael Brown, the head of security for Travis stated that that anytime they were notified of an emergency, they
would stop the show. And provided us an example of this when Travis was doing a performance in New York and
was told to stop the show due to a medical emergency and he did.
We addressed the rumor that was going around on social media about Travis getting in the crowd before the
performance and having an altercation with a juvenile who social media claimed was one of the victims later in the
show. Travis responded saying that video was from a show he did in Europe in 2015. He stated that social media
has been part of the problem with this whole incident because people are connecting other videos to this that
have nothing to do with it. He stated and acknowledged that he has made a lot of mistakes earlier in his career
and he has paid the price for those.
Personnel
David stated that Travis has his own security that are in charge of protecting the performer then they have a
Venue Represented in charge of all of the outside security. He stated all other security is assigned to the promoter
of the venue.
I told them about a security guard that I spoke with and how that guard told me he was positioned near the stage
and during the concert he was pulled people out at a fairly frequent pace which he stated was normal based on
his experience. Travis and those in the room acknowledged that it was normal. But, it was mentioned that at a
certain point, possibly before or during the Drake portion of the show, the crowd dynamic changed.
Social Media
David stated that there was another video circulating on social media that was being misconstrued. He stated that
the video was of a female that had climbed onto a camera platform trying to get the show to stop. David stated
that it is being said that the cameraman was on stage with them and that he was part of their crew. Travis
commented that the cameraman was far away from the stage and referred to him being off-premises. David
stated that the cameraman had no line to them saying that they had no way to communicate.
There was the other one of people reporting that they were pleading with cameramen from Apple to stop the show
but the response was "this is live and the show must go on". Travis and his team responded "heck no" that would
not have happened. They stated that you can see the guy tell the female to get off the platform. They also added
that the cameraman had his headphones on.
Q&A
We opened up the interview to Travis and his team to ask questions of us about the case. Travis asked about the
condition of the victims/patients. We told him that many of them were already with the Medical Examiner and we
were waiting on further instructions from them. We talked to them about the toxicology and how long that can
take.
Travis's lawyer asked about the report out of the initial press conference regarding the Security Guard that had
allegedly been jabbed by a needle. We then asked Michael if that report had reached him while he was on the
ground during the concert. Michael stated that he spoke with Chief Finner and it was his understanding that it was
one of the police officers that was working around the stage. As for the security guard, he had not heard about
that incident.
We informed them of how we came to be involved with this case when we were told that this was an instance of
several "fentanyl" related deaths. It was only after we started investigating that we found that it was more likely
that the victims were crushed instead of drug-related. Travis' lawyers asked again if there was any indication that
this was a drug related incident and we told him that so far it did not appear so pending further review after
autopsy.
Michael asked about one of the victims who he referred to as the 6'2'' 400 lb male. He stated that he saw him after
the fact and asked us if we were sure he was not one of the security guards. He stated he was one of the victims
that had not been identified yet and he thought it was possible that he was one of the security guards due to his
size.

Narrative
Travis asked about the victims who were in the hospital, one of them being the 8 year old. We recounted to them
a backstory that we knew at that point regarding him.
It was asked around what time we thought that all of this happened. We told them anywhere between 9:15 - 9:30
pm, but it was too soon to be sure. Michael stated that to be fair when talking about stopping the show because
we are talking about things happening in real time. He stated that he was in the barricades when he saw that one
body and they ran back to tell him and they stopped the music. At that time he even talked to Chief Finner while
they were still putting the pieces together. It was only later that there were more bodies/victims and even then
nobody told them to stop the show abruptly. He stated it would have been different if like five people dropped
instantly but instead it was one after another over a period of time going to the medical tent.
I explained to them that it may not have been obvious every time when someone dropped in the crowd because
all of the attention was focused on Travis. It was asked if there were recordings of the third-party security guys
communicating with each other. We told them that we did not have that information. Michael chimed in and stated
that the security around the barricades did not have radios. There job was to watch out for the fans and to report
to someone with a radio if something was wrong.
Michael told us that the head of all security was Seyth, with the company Sequel. He stated that he would be a
person to talk to about this because he oversaw all of security.
We asked all of the other people in the room if they could hear anyone saying stop the show. They told us they
could not. One of them stated she was in the barricade and she could not even hear the person next to her and
she resorted to typing out messages on her phone in order to communicate. It was also noted that the cell signal
was very poor.
David shared with us his perspective stating that he was located in a tent near the "front house" area of the stage.
He stated the people who were doing the lights and the effects were in that tent along with two others who were
operating the cameras that we located on either side of the stage and facing out into the crowd. He stated that
after the show those guys were hugging and high-fiving each other because they thought they did a good show.
He stated that no one in that tent at any time during the show was told to stop. He stated that the people in that
area would have gotten the call first to stop the show so that they could turn off the screen and all of the lights, but
that call never came.
Travis was asked by one of his other lawyers if he had a set list and a set order of songs that he was going to
perform. Travis stated that he did have songs he was supposed to go through but he could make changes during
the show. He stated that a lot of it had to do with the crowd regarding whether or not he made it through his entire
list of songs for the night.
Michael offered some perspective on what he saw going around in the pit area in front of the stage. He stated that
there was a problem because of the 20 or 30 police officers that were standing around the stage, he saw a few of
them with their phones out filming or recording the performance. He stated there were Sergeants, Lieutenants,
and Commanders down there who should of told him something was wrong since that had radios. He stated he
has been frustrated about that since they found out what happened.
Michael asked if there were police snipers watching the show from towers or something. We told him that we did
not know if that was the case.
End of Interview.
The Travis Scott Concert
************************
I watched and listened to the Travis Scott Concert/Performance. I created a log of everything I could hear from the
crowd and statements made by Travis apart from his singing. I viewed the performance from the Apple Music
produced footage Apple sent to us along with the one that it posted on YouTube. Those videos were not
timestamped but I have converted the times of each of these occurrences to the actual time in accordance with
the show run time displayed on the streaming platform. The following were my observations:
Times below demonstrate the displayed run time of the show and approximate real time.

Gregory Hoffman
I received Gregory's information as he had reached out to the Homicide Division independently wishing to provide
a statement. I contacted him using the phone number he left me and recorded our conversation. Gregory is an
experienced cameraman and equipment operator who has worked in that industry for many years. Gregory works
independently and was contacted by Salvatore Livia, a Producer/Director to come work for him at the Astroworld
Festival 2021. The following is a summary of my phone interview with Gregory Hoffman:
Introductions and Background
Gregory stated he was assigned as the main crane operator at the "front of house" location. His primary duties
consisted of him swinging the arm of the crane back and forth. He stated that he was contacted by producers that
he has worked for many times before on big events such as the Oscars and the Super Bowl. He stated that the
producers themselves were hired by Apple Streaming. He stated that he was informed of this job about a week
before the date of the show and they had to scramble to organize themselves.
Gregory believed that there were at least 50-60 other camera crew personnel hired for this event as part of the
crew in charge of the streaming footage for Apple. He stated there was a second camera crew out there that was
part of the IMAC crew that may have been with the promotion company.
Gregory described where he was stationed in the crowd with more detail. He described that there was a camera
tower to his right and a VIP riser to his left along with a lot of other equipment. He stated if you are looking at the
stage, he was just off-center to the left. He stated that he has worked events and shows for 35 years and never
has he seen anything like this.
The Concert
Gregory stated that when the show started, security seemed to leave from his area. He estimated that he only
saw two security guards in his area through the duration of the concert. He stated that at the beginning,
concert-goers were coming over the back barricade/wall behind him, attempting to get closer to the concert. When
that was happening, he called in over the radio which connects with the producers in the trailer behind the stage.
He told them that he needed help and that he needed security in his area because it was getting overrun.
In response to his call on the radio, a member of the production team and two other guys that were assigned to
his area attempted help. He stressed that the crane was a very heavy piece of equipment that needed to be
safeguarded to prevent from falling. He stated they held the area down as best as they could for two or three
songs until they reached a point when they had to shut it down.
He stated he and member of his team swung the crane around and while so doing knocked into a female
concert-goer. He stated that he reached down to pick her up, but while he was down, the crane had dipped lower
into the crowed in front of them. He recalled seeing a kid pull on the arm of the crane, forcing him and his
teammate to take action by pulling up on the crane bucket. He stated the kid was screaming and picnicking
among others.
He stated that they retracted and secured the crane. A few minutes went by and paramedics where in the area
doing CPR on two kids right in front of the crane. At that point, the production trailer called out to him over the
radio to ask when they could get the crane back in operation. He stated that he yelled back over radio and said,
"The crane is down, and that they were doing CPR under my crane, and that people were dying. " He could also
hear on the radio the director he made that statement to turn around and repeat it to the producers who were in
the room.
Gregory stated that he was communicating directly with the Director of the live stream who also had no control or
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:11 Page 2 of 12

Narrative
authority to stop the show. He stated that the director was in a production trailer which consisted of two rows of
people. In the first row was the Director, Assistant Director, and the Technical Director. On the second row, were
where all the producers sat. He stated on that second row there had to have been someone from Live Nation, the
Tour, or Apple. He reiterated that he heard his Director repeat exactly what he had told them back to the
producers in the room. Gregory believed that he made this communication over the radio at approximately
9:25 PM.
I asked Gregory about the area where his camera and equipment were located. He clarified that the entire space
between the barricade in front of him and the one behind was meant to be empty. That area was dedicated solely
to the camera crews and VIP risers. He referenced the camera that was on a riser to the right of him where the
female got on trying to get him to stop the show. He stated that cameraman was with the IMac or Tour crew. He
stated that people were coming over the barricade behind him to get closer to the show and people were
desperately trying to get out of the barricade and front of him to escape the "crush".
Gregory recalled seeing a kid who appeared to be in good physical shape come over the wall and begin to
periodically pull people out of the crowd. He stated that he had kids huddling under his crane, crying and doing
anything they could to get out of there. They were also grabbing him and screaming for help.
Speaking about the radio communications, he stated that it was against protocol for any of the cameramen to
speak over the radio which was reserved for the Director to communicate to him. He stated that anyone who was
on the same channel as him would have heard what he said but there were many channels being used for the
event. The radio communications were not recorded.
Gregory stated that he talked to his friend who described the reactions of everyone in the trailer once they heard
about his report of people getting CPR and dying. He said their "jaws dropped" in surprise, but they really did not
seem to know what to make of the information. He stated that the people including the producers knew at around
9:30 that people were receiving CPR.
Recalling Victims
He stated Paramedics were working on someone right in front of their position for about 20 minutes. He stated the
Paramedic eventually "threw their hands up" in frustration and proceeded to work on someone else. He stated
that he saw a young girl in a black dress nearby having oxygen pumped into her and receiving CPR. He stated
there were so many kids who came over the barricade and collapse in front of him until they had the strength to
get up and walk away.
He believed that he saw a young girl being brought over the barricade. After seeing the news reports of the
victims he believed that the girl was Brianna Rodriguez. She was laid next to them for a brief time. He stated that
a while later, around 10 PM, a group of uniformed Officers and two additional Paramedics appeared in their area.
They entered the crowd and pulled out what looked like to him as "body bags" and brought them over to his side
of the barricade. He stated that show was still going on at that point.
Gregory stated that he believe most of the "carnage" was going on between his position and the stage or in that
general area. He stated that when people finished watching the performance on the other stage, all 50,000 of
those people came rushing in to the area of the main stage creating what he called a "kill zone" in the section right
in front of him. He observed that there was no flow of people and no way out with barricades set up on all three
sides.
Gregory stated that he was confident there were more than 50,000 people at the concert. I asked them if he
believed the Paramedics were adequately staffed, he stated that he could not speak to that. He saw four
Paramedics during his time at the concert.
End of Interview.
Follow-Up Interivew with Gregory Hoffman
At a later date, I contacted Gregory Hoffman again in order for him to clarify and elaborate on portions of his
statement as well as identify some of the other members of his team that he spoke to. The following is a summary
of my second phone interview with Gregory Hoffman:
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:11 Page 3 of 12

1490724-21 0044
Narrative
Speaking about the crane, he stated again that he had to shut it down during an early portion of the show due to
people grabbing it and attempting to climb on it. He mentioned the name Shelby as someone who was out there
with him, helping him secure the equipment. He stated that the area all around him kept filling up with people
coming over both sides of the barricade. There was no one there to stop them.
Gregory stated that when he made his initial request for increased security in his area, none of the security for the
event came. The only ones that came to his aid where members of his team and production. He stated it was
Shelby, Dustin (utility), Jimmy Hernandez, and Joe McKenna that came to help him.
Gregory stated that after the crane was rendered inoperable, they put a strap on it to hold it in place. His fear was
that someone would try to clime it again and it would topple and cause a lot of damage. Even with the crane shut
down, there was still someone operating the camera attached to the end of it.
I asked him what he remembered about Brianna Rodriguez being brought over the barricade. He stated that the
person that brought her over appeared to be a late-high school aged male. He stood at the barricade for a while
pulled other people out of the pit.
He described how the crane arm was diagonal, tilting towards stage-right. He then told how two paramedics
appeared directly underneath his crane and they were performing CPR on two people. It was around this time that
he received a transmission from the Production Trailer asking him when Camera 6 would be back working again.
He told them there were people getting CPR right in front of his crane.
He described the two paramedics. One of them was doing the chest compressions and the other was pumping air.
At one point the medic who was pumping air got up and threw his hands up in the air as if he was done. He
walked away, presumably to look for someone else to help. A female wearing a black dress took over and
pumped air into the person that was receiving compressions. He recalled that the person they were working on
was a kid wearing a red shirt, possibly a teenager.
Gregory described a kid that was lying over the chassis of the crane who he thought was dead. But when the
show ended the kid sat up. They told the kid that they thought he was dead because he had been laying there for
45 minutes.
I asked him if he saw any more unconscious people being brought over the barricade. He stated that there were a
lot that had come over and were lying down all around them until they got their breath back. He recalled that
Brianna was brought and placed right next to them. Then, around 10 PM, more bodies where brought out in what
he described as "body bags". He stated that it was around 4 HPD and 2 Medics that went it to get the bodies. The
show was still going on while this was happened.
I asked Gregory what he could see to the right of his position. He stated that he could see the cameras that were
on platforms and the tent that contained the lighting and sound for the show. He emphasized that the entire area
completely full.
Reviewing the times again, Gregory stated that he thought that the show started around 9:10 and ended at
approximately 10:10. He thought that he lost the crane within the first 15-20 minutes. About 5 minutes after the
crane went down, his co-working Dustin told him that he was getting out of there stating that he was not going to
stay to protect some stupid crane. The concern remained that the kids might try to climb the crane, because they
had climbed the walls and media towers all around them.
Gregory repeated there was no security in the area. He recalled seeing someone that might have been security
standing over one of the bodies that the paramedics were working on and he saw him grabbing his own head and
looking to be in a panic over the situation.

Narrative
Gregory Hoffman shared with me the phone numbers to some of his colleagues he remembered seeing out there
with him. I was able to get ahold of one of them, Joe McKenna. The following is a summary of my interview with
Joe McKenna:
Joe stated that he was hired for this event by Rob Payne who is a producer. He stated he was a part of the
camera crew to film the event, not necessarily for Apple, but hired on by Rob who is a producer who does a lot of
big concerts and events. When he and his crew were hired, they did not know who the artist was or what type of it
was going to be.
He stated that Gregory Hoffman operated the crane arm itself, his job was to be there to support Gregory and all
of the other cameramen in order to assist them with getting everything in the right position.
He stated that it was sometime within the first song that a producer named Shelby ran back to help Gregory
stating that his area was being overrun with people. He stated that he made it to Gregory and the crane about
halfway into the first song. He described how the crane extended about 50 feet into the crowd and was a real
hazard if it were to tip over. Once he and the other crew members got there, they remained there for the whole
show. He stated it was Shelby, Jimmy Hernandez, Justin, and Randy who were out there with him supporting
Gregory.
During the chaos, he remembered hearing Justin say, "I don't get paid enough for this, I am out of here". Joe
expressed that there purpose for being out there was to protect the crane, which was insured, but to keep the
crowd from tipping it over which would have caused more deaths.
The Evening from Start to Finish
He stated he began the evening at or near the production trailer which was back stage on the street. He stated
that he did not have his communication headset on but around the time of the first song, Shelby came running up
to him and told him that they needed to go help Gregory. He stated he and Jimmy Hernandez prepared to go out
there and they grabbed some caution tape to bring with them, thinking that they would be about to rope off the
area.
He stated that once they turned the corner and could see the crowd from the front of the stage, he could see that
things were crazy. He described the security which were focused on the middle of the crowd were already pulling
people out of the crowd because they were getting crushed, exhausted, or couldn't breathe.
Once they got to crane, he stated that there was not a security guard in site which he stated differed from before
the show started when there were several in that area. First, they started putting up the caution tape, but then he
observed that people were just continually coming over the barricade into their area. He saw people positioned on
one side of the barricade pulling other people out into their area so that they could breathe.
He stated that it was difficult to reckon the time they were out there because it felt like 5 hours when it was really
just an hour. He recalled seeing people pull out a heavier-set White male/kid and setting him down right in front of
the crane. He stated paramedics were there for about 25 minutes working at that kid. He stated that about that
time, a heavier Hispanic Male came over the barricade and collapsed right in front of them showing signs of
having difficulty breathing. Then they saw what looked like a Female in a red dress being laid next to them. He
stated that the female was maybe 15-16 years old.
He stated that he thought it was during the second song that someone had pulled on the cables attached to the
crane, causing him to run out to the barricade and tell the person to let go before he kills somebody. He explained
the leverage of the crane and if the weight changed to the crane arm it would go down into the crowd. He stated
that Gregory and Justin had laid themselves down at the base of the crane to keep it from going down.
He stated that it was around this time when the crane was getting shut down that he heard Gregory say over
comms which goes directly to the trailer in the back, "There are dead bodies underneath the crane, people are
getting hurt, shut it down". Joe stated that he still did not have his headset on so he did not know how the people
in the production trailer replied.
Joe described how he kept seeing people being brought over the barricades and at one point people being
brought over in "body bags" or on stretchers. He said the whole thing was surreal as the people were walked right
past them. He stated there were points in time when they were shoulder to shoulder with everyone else because

so many people had flooded their area.
The Directors/Producers
He stated that he remembered the Director for all of the cameras was Salvatore Livia or Torre. He was assisted
by a female technical director who he would go on to have breakfast with the next morning but he could not
remember her name. He recalled speaking with that woman and her telling him that there were all the normal
producers in the trailer with them including Apple who was sitting right behind her and Torre. She told him that
after Gregory made his frantic announcement over the comm channel, she turned and looked at the Apple
producers and asked them, "what are you going to do?" She told him that they did not seem to understand what it
was Gregory was talking about. Joe stated that each producer is focused on their one little area and not really
paying attention to what might be going on elsewhere. But according to the female, everyone heard what Gregory
had said over the radio.
The Aftermath
I spoke with Joe about the impact this incident has had on him. He stated that it was traumatic and he truly
believed that many of those who died where lost very early in the show. It was also discussed that the show
should have still been stopped sooner and he believed that it was the performer who had the responsibility to stop
it. He recalled Travis stopping the show once but then the show continued. He talked about how many of those
that came over the barricade collapsed onto the ground and gasped for air. But then they would get to their feet
and continue jumping up and down to the music of the concert. Joe thought this was a very strange reaction.
He stated that he recalled speaking with one of the cameramen that had the head mounted camera and was
walking into the crowds during the show. This person told him that he had heard what Gregory said over the radio
and his first question was how bad it was. He also heard Gregory state that people were dying.
He recalled the camera platform where the kids climbed on top of and argued with the cameraman. He was not
sure who those cameraman were working for stating that the ones on the platform next to his were with them. He
stated he understood a little why they were not responding to the girl because maybe they really did not know
what was going on.
Joe talked about one of the producers or directors who came with the concert but was not with them. He
described this person as being in charge of the cameras what were mobile and moving through the crowd. He
stated this person would tell his cameramen to look for "agitators" in the crowd to get them on camera because
they get the crowd going crazy and it makes for a good shot.
I asked him if he could hear anyone chanting, "stop the show". He stated that he could hear that at various points
in the show.
End of Interview.
Jim Hernandez
I was referred to Jim Hernandez as he was another camera crew member who was involved with this incident.
The following is a summary of my phone interview with Jim Hernandez:
Jim confirmed that he was a freelance camera support person who was hired on to work this event. He stated that
he began the evening out on the street behind the stage where all of the trailers were. He stated that he intended
to stay out there for the duration of the show, waiting for his role to break down and clean up the equipment when
it was all over. That plan changed when he heard very early in the show that there were some problems out by the
crane camera. He had heard that people were getting in the way of the crane, creating a hazardous situation.
They grabbed some caution tape with the intent of taping off the area around the crane. Prior to leaving he had no
idea what the situation as going to look like. He stated they travelled up the center aisle coming from the stage
and he could hear people shouting "Help me" and "get me out of here" while he saw some people getting pulled
out over the barricade from the crowd. He could not see what all of the commotion was about other than seeing
that people were trying to get out.
As soon as they got out to Gregory's position with the crane camera they tried to set up the caution tape but he
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:11 Page 6 of 12

Narrative
soon realized that it was pointless because so many people were coming over the barricade. He had his ear plugs
in to drown out the music but he could still hear people pleading with him for help to get out of the crowd. In a
short time, the entire media area where they were standing was filled with people. Meanwhile, Gregory was still
trying to operate the crane which people were ducking to get out of the way as it swung back and forth. He
recalled the crane stopped because someone in the crowd had tried to grab the camera/crane cables. At that
point they had strapped the camera down and stopped operating it.
He stated that by the time the crane was shut down, there was a person that collapsed in front of the crane. He
stated Joe and Gregory were standing to his right at that time. He could see that this person who was on the
ground face was turning blue and he thought that he was dying. Jim corrected himself in saying that the person
who looked like he was dead/dying did not collapse in front of him but there was another person that did collapse
in front of them and remained there for a while before recovering and leaving the area.
He stated there were people doing CPR on the lifeless person that was in front of the crane. He recalled telling
Gregory that they needed to get some medics, police, or someone out there because this was getting out of hand.
He told him that the show needs to stop, despite all of the chaos that may ensue, there was a person on the
ground that was not breathing. He recalled Medics finally showing up an working on the person in front of the
crane.
While they were administering to that person, he witnessed two more people coming past him on stretchers. He
believed they were both female but he could not be sure, they passed to the right of him. He recalled one lifeless
girl in a red dress being carried out. Eventually they took the male in front of them out on a stretcher. During this
time, he was unable to make a phone call because there was no service. Meanwhile the concert continue and
people were dancing and this was all very confusing to him.
The Aftermath
Thinking about it some more, Jim stated if he had known how truly bad it was from the beginning he would have
done more to help pull people out of the crowd. He stated he may have even gone up to the stage and took the
mic away from the performer. But with all of the thousands of people there, no one could tell how bad it was. You
just can't see who was laying on the ground.
He stated that he did not really see security in the area during all of the chaos. It was him, Gregory, and Joe, and
they remained there for the duration of the show. He stated none of them had radio communication ability except
for Gregory who he could hear at times talking to someone on it. He recalled hearing Gregory say over the radio
that they were shutting the camera down because people were trying to climb on it and might be damaged. He did
not recall a time where anyone was saying they were going to shut the show down.
He recalled that after the concert was over, staff was cleaning up and placing everything into trash bags. He
thought the whole thing was bizarre and the whole event felt like he was in hell.
End of Interview.
Salvatore Livia "Torre"
I was first referred to Torre by Gregory Hoffman, who told me in his statement that Torre was the director with
whom he was communicating with during the concert. I was provided a contact for Torre and after reaching out to
him he agreed to an interview with me over the phone. The following is a summary of the interview with Salvatore
Livia:
Salvatore stated that he is a business owner to a few camera, equipment, and production companies. He was
hired to direct this live show by Apple/Apple Music. He was designated as the director of the show. He noted that
he was not given much notice prior to the event (about 2 weeks' notice when normally its 2-3 months) and when
he was at the venue, he stated that he was not given much latitude regarding the placement of his equipment.
He stated that he was told indirectly that the Fire Marshall had signed off on the placement of the barricades and
that he was not permitted to move anything from its place but rather work around the structure in order to set up
his cameras/equipment.

Narrative
For the duration of the event, he stated he was inside the production trailer which was located about a 150 feet
behind the main stage on the street. From this trailer he would be able to see the live feeds and select cameras to
go live for the purpose of the stream. Inside the trailer with him was a technical Director and an Associate Director
on either side of him. There was a script supervisor next to the technical director. On the back row of the trailer he
stated were all of the producers which included two Apple Producers along with one other who was there to
oversee the whole event. He believed one was Anthony Mandler. He stated there was also another
producer/director who was from Travis Scott's camp whose name he could not recall. He did not believe that
anyone from Live Nation was in the production trailer.
Prior to the show, he and several of his cameraman did walk-throughs of the venue. He recalled that this event
has been known to get crazy in terms of the crowd. He was advised that they would not be able to have cameras
operating in the crowd itself or placing camera risers in the crowd. He stated as they were walking the venue, a
few security guards told his cameraman that they needed to be ready, warning them that once the kids come over
the barricades they had better get out of there.
Speaking on the set-up of the venue, he stated that it was similar to most tours he has seen. He thought it was
odd that the stage was so high off the ground and that the area in front of the stage was clear of people which
looked bad for T.V. He stated that it was also odd that people were congregated to those large areas as opposed
to more individual "pens". In terms of numbers, he was told that 50 -70k people would be there.
The Events of the Evening
Torre stated that he had not control as to when the concert began. He was coordinating with his Stage Manager
who was in communication with Travis Scott's camp in order to make sure they caught the right starting angle of
Travis shooting through the floor and onto the stage.
Torre pointed out that for the first 30 minutes of the concert, the producer from Travis Scott's camp loved seeing
the big swarms of people. He stated that throughout the show, they continually asked him to get the shots of
crowd with the giant groups of people and everyone moving around. He was still in control over which of his 18
cameras went online at any given time, but he would still consider the recommendations of others in the room in
order to get the appropriate angle.
Speaking again of the set up, he stated that he brought to the event about 9 cameramen that he knew personally.
He stated that Travis Scott's team had at least two cameramen of their own that that embedded in the crowd/pits.
He emphasized again that in his conversations with Travis's camp prior to the show that it was very important to
them that they get shots of the "anarchy" inside the pits.
Torre stated that he communicated through a radio network. He stated that everyone who was a part of
production was essentially listening to him on his channel. This would include all of the cameramen, people
working the audio production, and persons inside the production trailer. He stated that sometimes his cameraman
will get on the radio to advise him if something needed to be brought to his attention, production-wise.
Torre stated that about 25 minutes into the show, Gregory Hoffman who was working the crane camera got on the
radio and stated, "we have a problem out here, we are being overrun, we need security out here right now". After
receiving this transmission, he stated that he raised his own voice and repeated what was said while also
requesting that other go to assist Gregory at his position. He thinks he may have repeated himself again over the
radio. He stated the producer of their show got on the air and said, "Torre, we are sending people there right
now". Then the show continued.
He stated that 10 minutes went by and Gregory Hoffman got on the air again and stated, "the movie bird (crane) is
done, there is kids climbing all over the movie bird, you do not understand the severity of whats going on out
here, people are dying". Following that statement, Torre stated that that was the first time they realized that
something was very wrong. I asked Torre to confirm that Gregory actually said that people were dying and Torre
stated that he did.
I asked him if anyone else in the room heard that transmission from Gregory or if he repeated it to the others in
the room with him. Torre stated that he thinks that Gregory thinks that he repeated verbatim what he said to the
rest of the room. Instead Torre stated that he said to the room, "There is major problems out there, we have an

emergency on our hands here, and we need help back of house right this second".
I asked him what the response was to what both he and Gregory had said. Torre stated that he did not know
about everyone else, but Rob Paine got on the air and stated, "Torre, we are back there right now". He explained
that Rob is the owner of the company that oversaw the entire television production. He emphasized that they were
doing everything in their power to help Gregory and the entire situation.
I asked him to describe the one producer in the trailer that was representing Travis Scott's team. He stated that he
was hesitant to call him a producer because he was very young and inexperienced. He stated that this person
was more concerned with the four cameras that were embedded in the crowd and mosh pits. Torre stated that this
person did not seem like he has done very many concerts before. This may have been his first television
production. He stated that he did not know how he reacted to the situation when it was made evident to those in
the room.
I asked him to speak to the reactions of everyone else in the room. He stated that everyone understood that
something was not right but they were disconnected to the reality of was happening out there. He stated the T.V.
cameras were not picking up the situation. When Gregory made the statement that "people were dying" he
thought to himself about what that could mean because at the time, it was not clearly understood. To him, he
thought it could have meant that someone (maybe one person) was pulled out of the pit after being trampled or
something. No one in the truck had any idea of the extent of what was happening.
The Aftermath
I asked him about what was happening as the show wrapped up. Torre stated that as soon as the show was over,
everyone in the truck scattered, and it was like a "ghost town". He stated that one of the producers approached
him and expressed that although they did a good show he did not want to celebrate. This producer suggested to
him that they should go outside and see what was going on. This producer who Torre identified as Lee Lodge
(Apple), told him that something beyond their control happened at the show where people may have gotten hurt.
Torre stated that he left the production truck and started walking towards the stage. He met up with some of the
camera man who told him that maybe 5 people had died. Torre stated that was the first time that he realized just
how bad this situation was, like a national news story.
I asked him if he had heard anyone mention anything about stopping the show. He stated that during the whole
production, he never heard anyone say they were going to stop the show. He stated that he and the people in the
production truck had no control over the decision to stopping the show.
I encouraged him to reach out to those he was working with that evening so that they may come forward to
provide statements regarded what took place at the concert.
Regarding his relationship with Live Nation and the venue's promoters, Torre stated that he had little to no
communication with them throughout the concert. He stated that they were on their own in terms of following the
performance and capturing the show on camera.

Tyler Ross
I received the phone number for Tyler Ross from Salvatore Livia. I had been informed that Tyler was the one
producer who was more closely associated with Travis Scott's team. For a time, I was unsuccessful in making
contact with Tyler until I was finally able to catch him on his phone. The following is a summary of my interview
with Tyler Ross:
Tyler stated he was under the employ of Apple Music for this event and was operating out of the live stream truck
behind the stage on the street. He stated that he normally he is independent/freelance and for this event he was
hired on more as a consultant.
He stated that he has worked with Travis on a bunch of shows in the past. He was called in to this event to consult

Narrative
and call on cameras from time to time to go live since he had knowledge of how these events normally go. He
stated that he has worked events with Travis for 4 or 5 years and he has participated in all of the previous
Astroworld events.
He stated that in the past he has been mostly responsible for capturing the more personal aspects of Travis
during his shows. He stated that he was the one who filmed most of the Netflix special about Travis. For this event
his focus was more the stage activity and ensuring the other cameramen were catching the right angles he
believed should be priority for this type of show.
Tyler stated that this event was the first time he has ever done a live broadcast. He stated there were probably 10
people in the production trailer with him, with the main people being Apple Music overseeing all of the livestream.
He stated that he recognized the names Salvatore, Lee Lodge, and Anthony Mandler who he stated was another
one of the directors. He also mentioned the name Mike Carson who was another who was contracted.
He stated for this event he had 2 or 3 camera guys that were filming within the crowd. He stated that he was
communicating directly with those three on a separate channel than some of the other cameramen. He stated
there was another radio channel he would use to communicate with the director to ask to switch cameras.
Events of the Show
He stated that from his perspective, he was not really watching the show. He focused more on communicating to
his people in the crowd to collect the right angles and shots. He stated he spent the first half of the show just
gathering his bearings for the job he was supposed to do which was still new to him.
He pointed out something strange that he noticed about the show was that there was not as many mosh pits. He
stated from his experience with Travis Scott shows there are normally a lot of mosh pits but with this one there
were hardly any. One of his camera guys in a tower told him he was having a hard time finding good shots of
mosh pits.
He stated that he felt that it was a good show and it was not until afterwards when they were celebrating that he
found out that somebody had passed away at the show. He was shocked by the news because he has never
been to a show where someone had died. He later learned after talking to more people that the situation was even
worse than he thought.
I asked him what his cameramen in the crowd were telling him about what they were seeing. He stated that they
did not report any problems within the crowd and he stated they may have been in different areas than the ones
where things were crazy. He stated that occasionally one of their cameras would go out. He stated that it was kind
of an experiment to have the cameras in the crowd.
I asked him if the Director ever pointed out that something was going on or was receiving something from the
radio to the cameramen. He stated that there was a moment of concern when the crane camera went down and
he recalled someone saying something about a medical emergency. He also heard that someone was climbing on
the crane. After a while, the crane camera turned back on so he thought that everything was okay.
I asked him if he or anyone in the room had radio communication access to Travis Scott's ear piece. He stated
that to his knowledge no one in the room could communicated with Travis, they all were connected to cameramen
only.
I asked if he heard anyone saying or talking about stopping the show. He stated that he never heard anyone say
stop the show.
End of Interview.
Lee Lodge
I made contact with Apple and was referred to Andrew Farthing, who was the legal representative assigned.
Andrew made the arrangements for the conference call with Lee Lodge who was one of the Apple Producers I
had been told was at the event in the production trailer. Other lawyers participated in the conference call/interview.
The following is a summary of my interview with Lee Lodge:
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:11 Page 10 of 12

1490724-21 0044
Narrative
Lee stated that his position within Apple is as Creative Director, Music content, and Global Production. He stated
that he started with the position on November 1, 2021. Prior to that, he was working with Apple in a free-lance
capacity.
He stated that Apple had a limited role in this event. They were contracted to work the live stream for the
headliner event: Travis Scott. He was located in the broadcast/production trailer that was on N. Main Street. He
stated there was a front row and a back row inside the trailer. He stated that there were three on the front row
which included the director and he and four others on the back row. He stated there were side rooms to the trailer
which contained people working the audio portion of the event, but he was not aware of who they were.
He stated that his role for this event was as Creative Director and video cropping. He was responsible for building
a small production team in order to prepare a project for a live stream. He emphasized that he nor Apple was in
charge of this event. He had not creative control of the event or what was meant to take place. They were merely
hired on to do the work of streaming and videography. He stated they work in partnership with those that do have
authority at the event to ensure they are gathering the necessary information for the show.
I asked him if he also had a radio or head set while inside the production trailer. He explained that he had a
comms panel in front of him. The panel contained a number of options for him to select which channels he wanted
to listen to but not speak to, or channels that he wanted to use for communication. He stated his primary focus
was to communicate with the Director and other colleagues within the trailer. He stated that he monitored the
cameramen communications but he was not able to speak to them. He could also hear the chatter between the
Director and the cameramen.
Events of the Show
I asked Lee to share with me his perspective the show from start to finish. One of his lawyers spoke up and asked
me to clarify what I was talking about. I explained that I had already spoken to other members of the production
trailer and at this point would like to gather Lee's own perspective of the evening, specific to the performance.
Lee stated that there were 11 cameras that were Apple's cameras. His viewpoint was looking at the shots taken
by those cameras. He explained that he could not see a birds-eye view of the venue. Most of his focus was on
Travis Scott and a few other wide shots.
He stated that he had observed other performances by Travis Scott in the past and found that this one was not
any different from those other ones in terms of production. He noted that within the first 15 minutes, the crowd
energy was very similar to what he has seen in all of the previous material.
Lee stated that about 18 minutes into the performance which started at 9 PM, they received a radio transmission
from Camera 6 which was located in "front of house". He summarized what he heard the cameraman say which
something about crowd escalation, people coming over or being lifted over the barrier. He described this
cameraman's voice as frantic and escalating but not panicked, as if he was beginning to notice something. He
emphasized that fact that the area where this was supposedly occurring in front of the crane camera which
extended approximately 50 feet into the crowd. This meant that the affected area would not have been captured
on camera, making those in the production trailer unable to verify what the cameraman was saying.
He stated the report that people were being lifted over the barricade was not considered a distressful. The thought
process among those in the trailer was that there should have been security out there handling the situation as
they had been hired to do. Still, Lee stated that he exited the trailer to speak with the Head of Production for Event
Services, Rob Pain. He stated that it was not normal to leave the trailer during a live performance, but due to cell
communication being down it became necessary to exit and speak to Rob in person.
He stated that Rob could hear the same things that he was hearing over the radio which they discussed with each
other. Rob told him that he had spoken with a Police (Sergeant?) who was stationed in the compound near them
on N. Main St. He stated that they had been informed that the police would not be sending any officers to that
camera position. He stated that they returned to the trailer and show continued.
He stated that there still was not anything showing up on any of their 11 cameras that would indicate any problem
scenarios. He recalled about 24 minutes into the show, Travis stopped performing and was pointing out an
ambulance in the crowd. He recalled seeing one of their cameras pointing towards the ambulance/cart in the
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:11 Page 11 of 12

crowd.
He explained that he had people that were in contact with Stage Management including people that had more
involvement with the Artist. He stated that he was hearing the people associated with the artist were not receiving
any communications about stopping the show, or any sense of irregularity in the crowd.
He noted that the next big thing to happen in the show was around 9:45 when Drake joined Travis on stage. He
stated that the only communications he was receiving at that time pertained to Drake and his entrance on stage.
He stated that there were still no communications coming from the Astroworld staff regarding any irregularities.
He stated that he was advised by a person named Roger (Stage Manager) that Travis was going to do his last
song at 10 PM and end the show. He explained that they had received a set list that day containing a list of songs
that Travis would perform. He explained further that there was no rehearsal for this show so the planning was
limited from a streaming perspective meaning they just had to go with flow.
I asked him if he believed the show ended early or if it was supposed to go for longer. He stated that he did not
know. He stated that there were conversations had between Travis and his D.J. as they made decisions to skip
certain songs. He stated they were keeping track of how fast Travis was moving through the set list. He believed
that Travis skipped maybe four songs. He also noted that Travis did not talk much to the crowd and just kept
pushing through all of his music.
We began talking about the radio chatter again and Lee stated that most of the radio chatter that took place during
the event was coming from Camera 6 which was the crane camera. He stated that it began with that earlier report
of people coming over the barrier to people receiving CPR. He noted that Cameraman 6's voice escalated during
the show, which he observed to be an escalation to the situation that was taking place out there.
Lee stated that when he had heard that someone was receiving CPR near Camera 6, he stepped out of the trailer
again to speak with Rob Paine. He stated that the response from Police was the same, no officers were going to
be assigned to go to that area. He stated that we (the production team) did not have any authority to take any
actions. He deferred to the police for possible actions. He stated that Houston Police, Houston Fire, or someone
with Festival Production would have stopped the show and informed them that it was about to happen. There was
no communication that this was going to be a show-stop situation.
Lee explained that he thinks they received the communication about people receiving CPR about 30 minutes into
the show. He stated that it was around the same time the ambulance appeared in the crowd but he also noted that
the area where the CPR was happening was not anywhere near the ambulance. He stated that also during that
time period, they lost crane mobility and it appeared to be not working.
I asked him if he knew the name of the Police Officer or Sergeant that was spoken to by Rob. He stated that he
did not. He recalled that there was a police presence around the production compound earlier in the day with
police coming in to get coffee and things like that. He assumed it was someone stationed around their area that
Rob spoke to about the situation. He was told by Rob that it was a Police Sergeant.
The Aftermath
At the end of the show, normally they would get together and celebrate after a good show. He recalled after the
second time that he met with Rob outside the trailer that when he returned to the trailer, he told everyone in there
to keep it down when the show came to an end because some people may have been injured. He did not think it
would be appropriate to celebrate. It was not until later that they learned the extent of how bad the situation ended
up.

November 6, 2021
I introduced myself to Treston Blount and asked if he could provide a statement. Mr. Blount began by showing a
video of Ezra on his shoulders. He stated he could not breath and ended up passing out. He stated when he
passed out and began going to the ground, Ezra was taken off of his shoulders. He stated Ezra was holding the
camera. He stated somehow he ended up out of the crowd with the phone in his pocket. He stated he began
asking where is his son. He stated someone in the crowd that was standing near him said they took him to the
medic center. He stated he went to both of the medic centers and he was not there. He stated he asked if they
sent a 9 year old kid to the hospital and was told they sent a lot of people to the hospital.

might be lost at the NRG stadium. He stated he contacted HPD and asked if a Missing Juvenile could be sent out.
He stated his son's photo went out and an investigator contacted him immediately to say his son was at Texas

stated before Travis Scott came on stage, it was okay. He stated at one point, Ezra was able to stand in front of
him on the ground. He stated he told his son as soon as Travis Scott comes out on stage, he would put him on his
shoulders so he could get a clear view of what was going on. He stated he put him on his shoulders. He stated as
soon as Travis came out, everyone came out, it got compacted. He stated if someone moved an inch, the entire
crowd would feel it.
Mr. Blount went on to say there was a lady near him saying she cannot breath and she feels like she is going to
die. He stated the next thing he knew, it was over. He stated he does not remember anything after that. He stated
his son was still on his shoulders when he went down. He stated he does not know how his phone got back in his
pocket. He stated he was yelling for his son near the sound system on the left side of the stage. I asked when did

there was a stage only for Travis Scott. He stated the stage was not that bad. He stated the main stage was off to
the side. He stated the mountain stage was for Travis Scott. He began to draw out the stage area.
He spoke about the lighting and camera men for the stage. He stated he was in the middle. He stated that is
where everything started to happen. He stated at one point, his spine and chest was about to touch. He stated he
was in pain and gasping for air. He stated he has never experienced that before. I asked how people around him
were. He stated everyone was like sardines. He stated his arms were stuck between two people and he could not
move. He stated he could not turn around all of the way. He stated you would not be able to move around
throughout the crowd. He stated Drake and Travis performed on the same stage together. He stated everyone

that there was thirty minutes. He stated people started to leave. He stated it got better.
Daniel Johary stated then Travis came on. He stated people began moshing which was not the problem. He
stated the problem was the people that fell down after the mosh pits who became trampled. He stated when one
kid falls, it becomes a domino effect. He stated then everyone has thirty to forty people on top of them. He stated
that happened to him. He stated he was at the bottom of one of them. He stated he had to punch people in the
ribs to get off of him because he was hurting. I asked if that was a normal experience and he stated not at all. He
stated usually, people help you up after ten seconds and people get situated. He stated that did not happen. He
stated he was down for approximately eight and a half minutes. He stated people were down with him. He stated
when he got up, people were still on the ground.
Mr. Johary stated after he got up, he saw a kid next to him dancing. He stated his eyes were watery. He stated he
thought he was delusionary and looking around a lot. He stated then the guy fell and started having a seizure. He
stated his friends around him began helping him on the ground. He stated he ran over through the people to get to
him. He stated he asked his friends if he has history of seizures. Mr. Johary stated the male's friends stated no,
that the seizing male never has seizures. He stated he asked if he took anything. He stated his friend said they
bought some pills off of some random guys. He stated he told them to go find a staff member.
Mr. Johary stated that happened in dead center. Mr. Johary continued to show where he was in the crowd. He
stated the male and his friends left. He stated then he noticed a person saying a female was on the ground. He
stated he went over to her and saw her lips were purple. He stated he began to give CPR. He stated after fifteen
minutes, a staff member came over to him. Daniel Johary stated he asked the staff member to take over CPR and
the staff member told him that he was never told how to do CPR. I asked what her race was and approximately
how old did he think she was. He stated she was white with blonde hair in her approximate twenties.
He stated he looked at the staff member and asked for him to get a mask so that he would not have to do mouth
to mouth. He stated he thought most people should know how to do CPR. He stated he wanted a barrier or
defibrillator. He stated the staff member told him they ran out of everything. Mr. Johary went on to express his
concern about the amount of people at the concert and what he believed to be a lack of supplies. Mr. Johary
stated while he was doing compressions, he was getting stepped on. He stated people did not care or move
away. He stated while he was doing compressions, a person was jumping on his body.
Mr. Johary stated the staff member got more staff members and told him he was free to go. He stated he started

are approximately thirty seconds. He stated it would be very easy to take control. He stated he heard people
yelling to stop the show all around. He stated there were times where Travis Scott stopped the show. He stated he
would say for someone to help a man that was passed out. He stated after five times, did Travis Scott not realize
how many people were passing out. He stated Travis Scott was on top of a platform and could see an ambulance.
He stated the platform was high. He stated Travis Scott could be seeing stuff. He stated he may not be able to
see people on the ground but can see people being frantic.
Mr. Johary stated there was a female that got on the camera platform in a video. He stated the camera men told
her no; that it is a live show and must go on. Mr. Johary stated if people were begging to stop the show, then the
show should be stopped. M. Barrow asked when it got most chaotic. He stated at 09:45 P.M. He stated that was
the time when he lost his group. He stated that is when he went off to help other people. M. Barrow asked at what

saw people getting crowd surfed to the back. He stated he saw approximately seven people transported that way.
He stated there were limp bodies. He stated they were body weight with arms flailing.
Mr. Johary stated the worst was when the staff member told him that they ran out of CPR and supplies. He stated
that was an easy, preventable thing. He stated he did not see security or HPD in the crowd with him. He stated
the ATV is the only thing that came near him. I asked what makes him believe that 09:45 P.M. He stated he may
have video of that. He stated that is when his two most popular songs came on. He stated everyone believed they
had to go hard for it. He stated everyone started moving towards the middle and front. He stated that is when his
friend got his ribs broken at the barrier by being pushed into them too much. He stated you do not expect to get
broken legs or broken ribs. He stated he drove himself to the hospital.
M. Barrow asked if people told him about the drug activity. He stated people said blue pill capsule. He stated
people can put whatever they want in the capsule pills. I told him about the fentanyl lead. I asked if it is possible
people were on fentanyl. He stated it is possible. I asked if he thought all of the victims we had were fentanyl
victims. He stated it is possible. He stated there are a lot of factors that went into it. He stated it could be due to
drugs or dehydration. I asked about water bottles getting thrown out. He stated he got hit by water bottles, bags,
backpacks, beer bottles, and all types of objects. He stated it was different color liquids. I asked if he was hit by
liquid, did he feel as though he got exposed to narcotics. He stated he did not. He stated he did not drink or do

Fahin Shariar was believed to be one of the victims in the investigation as his wallet was found in one of the
decedent's pockets. I spoke with the Harris County Medical Examiner's Office who notified me when they
attempted to make contact with Fahin's family; the family reported Fahin was alive and well. I then asked for
Fahin's contact so that I could speak with him. I contacted Fahin Shariar to get his statement and to learn more
information from his perspective about the incident.
Fahin Shariar called me and after I had called him. I introduced myself to him and told him I was investigating
Astroworld. Mr. Shariar stated he was suffocating and people had trampled on him. He stated before he was
suffocated, he had his wallet. He stated there were other people that were suffocating between him. He stated
someone must have grabbed his wallet while he was dying and kept it. He stated it could have been taken by the
person that died. He stated he realized he was missing his wallet when he got up. He stated he stated he had
some memory loss due to possible oxygen deprivation. He stated he had his wallet, keys, and phone in his

possession. I told him a lot of property was placed in people's pockets due to the chaos. I told him people have
been trying to find the owner. I told him the deceased had his wallet in his pocket. I told him it was not necessarily
stolen or it could have been. I told him that his wallet is at Memorial Hermann Hospital. I told him Memorial

process works. I explained the situation about getting his wallet back. I told him that he could try to get the wallet
back himself.
I told him they would possibly allow him to get his wallet back without a subpoena. I told him the hospital is in the
Texas Medical Center. I told him that it could take me some time to get a subpoena to get his wallet back for him. I
told him that I will go through the D.A.'s Office. I told him that I could attempt to get his wallet ASAP or he is
welcome to try to get it. He stated he lives in League City. I told him the wallet is not evidence and we spoke to the
doctor about the deceased. I told him we believed he (Fahin) was the deceased at first. I told him he is still
unidentified. I told Mr. Shariar the wallet is still at the hospital. I provided Mr. Shariar with the case number and my
contact information because he was worried about getting pulled over without having his I.D.
I asked Mr. Shariar to describe what happened at the festival. Fahin Shariar stated he has been to approximately
ten concerts so he knows how crowds work. He stated he left before the Sza concert from the smaller stage. He
stated he got water and then waited for approximately thirty minutes. He stated he got to Travis Scott's stage at
approximately 08:20 P.M. He stated he was trying to get the middle. He stated he was with two friends. He stated
they are usually in the front. He stated he went to the back middle of the first stage. He stated there is the VIP
spot then the second part. He stated he was in the back middle at the start. He stated he kept moving in the front
to be near the front. He stated he kept moving through the crowd before the timer started.
Mr. Shariar stated he was in the middle closer to the back. He stated he was in the middle of the crowd. He stated
he could not move anymore. He stated that is normal. He stated his mistake was that he knew in his head that he
was going to get forced around from all directions. He stated he is experienced enough to think he is not going to
get into a deadly situation. He stated the timer came up, he might have moved a bit forward. He stated when the
flames started He stated a girl behind him and her brother or boyfriend started screaming help. He stated she
looked as though she was light headed and was asking for help. He stated he opened some space to let them
breath. He stated he saw more people were screaming for help.
He stated people started falling. He stated as one person fell, another person would fall. He stated there were
approximately twenty people that fell in his area. He stated he tried to not squish them or stand on them. He
stated he knew that would hurt them. He stated he continued to fell forces from all directions. He stated it was a
weird feeling. He stated if someone is putting force on his chest and people are on their knees, there is nothing to
stop you from falling. He stated he fell as well.
He stated then it was an entire mosh pit of approximately twenty people that fell. He stated his shoes fell off. He
stated he could not get up and became confused. He stated more people began falling on him. He stated people
fell on his ankle causing it to get sprained. He stated he went to the doctor afterwards. He stated people started
sitting on his ankles. He stated people began to sit on his lungs. He stated he was trying to yell for help and began
to pinch them. He stated he did not know it would do anything but he activated his iPhone emergency. He stated
he stated he felt like he was dying. He stated he activated his phone emergency at exactly 09:16 P.M. I asked if
that was for his phone number that we were speaking on. He stated it was his current phone. He stated he has
the coordinates. I told him he could document those coordinates via text to me.
He stated he turned his light on his phone and began pinching people. He stated there were two dudes sitting on
his chest. He stated he could not breathe in. He stated before they got on his chest, he remembered to calm
himself. He stated he knew he could not panic to keep his heart from beating to fast. He stated the air on that level
was very hot. He stated he knew in his mind it should be good oxygen and that did not matter. He stated he tried
pulling "them" up with his arms but they started to give. He stated he tried to flex his legs. He stated he was laying
down. He stated he was trying to pinch them and nothing worked. He stated there were approximately twenty of
them. He stated it is unlikely that he didn't see them.
Mr. Shariar stated with a crowd of fifty-thousand. He stated there were twenty of them. He stated he does not
believe Travis Scott cared. He stated he believes Scott saw them but did not care. He stated every time a song
stopped, he would try to get up. He stated the next song would start. He stated he believes he was down there for
approximately ten minutes. He stated while he was being suffocated, he believed he was going to die. Mr. Shariar
stated he is kind of an atheist and does not believe in god. He stated his parents are Muslim. He stated he did call
out to god and he did not die. He stated a minute later, they opened the mosh. He stated they got a guy off of his

chest again and got him up. He stated his legs were gone. He stated it was hard. He stated he was light headed
and could not remember things. He stated all he could remember was to go to the back to get out of the mosh pit.
He stated the crowd is still going. He stated he was not out of the way but he was good. He stated he got out of
the railing. He stated he was in the section of the VIP center and the first mosh pit. He stated he sat on the wheel
of the big camera in the middle. He stated he felt as though he was safe at that point. He stated he waited for
examiners to come to him. He stated he saw examiners running to help other people.
He stated he saw people telling them to stop the concert and they did not. He stated he does not know if they did
not have the power to stop the show. He stated he did not lose consciousness. He stated everything was spinning
and he felt as though he was high. He stated he only drank water and chicken schwarma. He stated he started
puking water at one point. He stated that is probably because he had too much.
He stated he went with Dahlia and David Dorzay. I asked how they are. He stated they are really good. He stated
they stuck together and stayed near the front. He stated they were good as they stayed near the front. He stated
they might have been in the back. He stated they got separated at one point but they were fine .He stated he
thinks if you were in the front or back, you're fine. I asked if he had ever seen Travis Scott before and he stated
no. I asked what time did he get to the event. He stated he got there at 11:00 A.M.
I asked how the crowd was earlier in the day. He stated the other concerts were fine. He stated when it was
Travis's that is when the problems happened. He stated he heard rumors about people getting injected with drugs
and asked what that was about. I told him that I am not sure and that we got that statement from one person. I told
him we have been unable to find him. I told him there was possible water being thrown that was burning people
skin. He asked me to wait. He stated he believes he can relate to that. He stated he thought the liquid was just
alcohol. I told him that we do not know what the liquid was. I told him there was a statement about it earlier. He
stated he believes it was alcohol and that happened to him to. He stated he felt like alcohol and smelled like it. He
stated it did not smell like water.
I told him right when Travis Scott and Drake came out, it is when it got crazy for people. I told him we are still
investigating everything and it is early on in the investigation. I told him I do not know where the victim was in
relation to him that had his wallet. I asked what hospital he went to.
Mr. Shariar stated he wanted to continue the story. He stated he was near the VIP section. He stated he was
sitting near metal barriers. He stated he spoke to a medical person. He stated they got him a wheel chair and got

Refer to Audio Recording for this event.
F.) John McGuire Phone Conversation (Disk 1A)
After receiving an anonymous e-mail mentioning John McGuire may have insight to the production of Astroworld;
more specifically Travis Scott, I began to research John McGuire. I found Trask House LLC.. I filled out a request
to speak with a representative from the site. I was later e-mailed by John McGuire asking how can his business
help. I then contacted the phone number
December 7, 2021
I contacted and a male answered identifying himself as John McGuire. I introduced myself and
explained why we wanted to speak with Mr. McGuire. I explained to John McGuire that we wanted to speak with
him after his name came up in an anonymous tip through the Harris County District Attorney's Office. I asked John
McGuire if he was involved with this past Astroworld Festival and he stated he was not. I asked if it is protocol for
the average concert for performers to be in contact with people around the stage. Mr. McGuire stated 100%. I
asked if that is for safety and Mr. McGuire stated yes. He stated at any performance he has ever done, he has
been able to tell the artist exactly what was going on. He provided examples of situations he would have to notify
an artist about. He stated he did it so that he would be able to stop a performance if needed.
I asked if that was the same protocol he had set with Travis Scott in the past. Mr. McGuire stated 100%. I asked
how many times he has worked with Travis Scott in the past. He stated he created Astroworld when it first started.
He stated he did the tour itself. He stated he did album releases. He stated he worked with Travis since 2015. He
stated after doing the Astroworld tour, there were some discrepancies between him and Scott. He stated between
financial conflicts and personal...He cut off to say that I could look up his past and see the way he does things in
the industry. He stated they were substantially different. He stated he decided he did not want to work with Travis
Scott anymore.
I introduced M. Barrow to the conversation. M. Barrow repeated Mr. McGuire's past statement as to why he
separated from Scott's team. John McGuire stated there were multiple things that he did not agree with involving
Travis Scott. He stated he moved away. M. Barrow asked Mr. McGuire, What were some of the protocols he was
referring to. John McGuire stated safety. He stated he just pulled all the Astroworld information from his site. He
stated he is going through hiring new people and they are asking if he is involved with the new incident.
Mr. McGuire stated he values hiring his crew before going on a tour. He stated hiring a good crew is a smoother
process. He began to describe his experience with working with Kanye West in comparison.
John McGuire began to speak about the rollercoaster going over the crowd / stage for the past Astroworld and the
/CATEN, J M 06/29/2023 11:12 Page 9 of 22

liability it posed. He stated safety was number one priority. I told Mr. McGuire that M. Barrow and I had seen the
documentary. Mr. McGuire stated he is in it and he got yelled at in it for wanting to send crew home.
John McGuire stated he takes on a producer / director role that is rare in the industry. He went on to say, "Once
you lose a gate, that show is done". M. Barrow asked if he meant the front gates or did he mean barriers in the
crowd. He stated both. He stated from a general audience safety, if a gate is lost, the show needs to stop. He
went back to speak about a past experience with Kanye and Kim Kardashian. He stated how he ended an 80,000
person festival abruptly by the power of words calmly used without incident.
I told Mr. McGuire that we are hearing in our investigation that Travis Scott had limited communication. Mr.
McGuire stated he understands why we are hearing that information. He stated Clair Audio is likely the company
that was hired for the event. He stated there is a monitor that watches the audio that connects to the artist. He
stated it was an in ear feed. He stated it would be a live feed and not recorded. He stated his dear friend Justin
was his monitor of engineering. He stated if he did not have a mic to tell Travis something, he would go to Justin
to tell Travis and it would happen.
Mr. McGuire stated there is talk-back mics. He stated there are always talk-back mics. M. Barrow asked if Travis
Scott has ever disregarded something he's said or someone has told him something on stage. He stated yes, on
that Netflix special. He stated after the Astroworld tour, he never toured with him again. He stated Travis is going
to do whatever Travis wants to do. M. Barrow asked how much does Travis have in the say so for the security
protocols when concerts are concerned. Mr. McGuire stated he cannot speak to the safety of Travis Scott since
he left him.
John McGuire went on to say that we need to be looking for an e-mail or some communication where the gates
broken. He asked if we have spoken to David Strongberg. M. Barrow told him yes. He stated David is a very dear
friend whereas he does not care about Travis. He stated he was with Travis yesterday at Virgils funeral. John
McGuire stated at some point, one of those guys were informed. He stated if they were not informed then the
person that was to inform them that something was going on failed on that part.
John McGuire stated he has traveled the world doing the largest festivals in the world. He stated safety needs to
be those priorities. He stated when he saw this happened, he immediately thought that is the heads of the
negligent of assumption that everything is going to be okay in the show. He stated that was his biggest fear when
he saw this happening. He stated there have been deaths at shows before. He stated most of them are substance
related. He stated at a Travis Scott show in Phoenix, there was 110. He stated they began ran out of water. He
stated he personally bought all of the bottles of water and started handing them out. He stated he had kids
passing out at the front and it was around 06:00 where the show was to end at midnight.
Mr. McGuire stated he does not know if we have reached out to the safety council. He stated he has the safety
alliance. He stated they have been trying instill protocols in this type of environment. He stated OSHA only exists
in so many live show situations. He stated he is sure we have OSHA in the police department. He stated when it
comes down to the venue in a parking lot, then it is the promoter responsibility. He stated we will have to dive into
the promoter contracting. John McGuire stated he respects our position as homicide detectives but what some of
this is going to come down to is promoter and contract responsibilities. He stated when it comes to liabilities, we
would be looking for negligence.
M. Barrow stated a lot of this is civil but there is some negligence that we are investigating. M. Barrow asked Mr.
McGuire what his experience has been with Live Nation. John McGuire stated Live Nation has supported him in
the past when he has backed out of the shows and also left themselves. He stated his dealing with Live Nation,
they bring up a red flag and he addresses their concerns. He stated they are the largest music promoters in the
world. He stated he understands they are the big target everyone is going after. He stated depending on the
promotion due, there might have been another promoter involved in Astroworld, not just Live Nation. I asked if
Scoremore. He stated yeah. He stated he is not familiar with their work and he has been in this industry since he
was seventeen years old. He stated he is one of the veterans at thirty-eight. He stated he has never heard of
Scoremore.
He stated he used to break into warehouses and throw concerts in the 90's. He stated they had to stop doing that
because they got really big. He stated getting into concerts, there has to be with structure. He stated with

promoters, safety is not always the priority. He stated Live Nation has structure and discipline. He stated he has
nothing but respect for that company. He stated he has done the dumbest, craziest, biggest shows you can
imagine and safety has always been the concern. He stated contracts for the safety of the artist has also been
the biggest concern. He stated we could look at past concerts he has worked on where safety was a big factor.
I asked if he has ever been with the stage that they have set for this Astroworld performance. He stated he has
not been involved with Travis Scott for some time now. He stated ultimately, the focus points is going to be the
type of barrier and the monitors of the barrier. He stated he believes they might be CSC. M. Barrow asked if he
has heard of BWG. He stated no. He stated use him as a resource if we have any music or show questions. He
stated he was not there but he knows everything about music festivals. He stated he can put us into contact with
people that set up these festivals.
I began to explain some of the things we have learned about concerts with regards to security. Mr. McGuire stated
security is divided into two forms. He stated there is the artist's personal security. He stated the artist also
employs a venue security person. He stated the venue security person is responsible with managing or
communicating back to the artist. He stated he will tell them what is going on with the site. He explained how he
usually runs things. He stated there is a tactical strategy they set in place. He began to talk about other promoters.
He stated how there are other companies that has set up secure environments for EDM type concerts.
Mr. McGuire went on to say that they are losing venues. He stated they are utilizing to parking lots. He stated the
safety of that site is dictated by the promoter. Mr. McGuire began to talk about pinch-points in locations such as
Disney World. He stated how that strategy of pinch-points is relayed over to concerts. He stated he feels for the
families and he feels for Travis. He stated someone made decisions. Someone continued the performance. He
stated either someone did not notify the performer that he should stop the performance. He stated or they did, and
then there was a decision made by the artist. He stated he does not know how we are going to track that. He
stated there is no way it did not happen. He stated if it did happen, then there is a moment that they decided not to
tell the artist. He stated then that person is negligent.
I asked Mr. McGuire about enacting a critical incident and egress gates. I asked if there is a time limit or buffer to
set up egress gates. I asked if that is normal. Mr. McGuire stated there is a ten or fifteen minutes before the end of
a performance. He stated it depends on venue. He stated there is an egress plan for the end of the performance.
He stated the problem with the open parking lot venues, the egress plan never goes according to plan. He stated
they open all of the gates and everyone walks out. He stated from a promoter standpoint, you monitor the gates at
the beginning because people coming into the gates affects the income. He stated at the end of the concert,
there is less monitoring because people leaving does not affect the income. He stated there is human safety
which is get them back to their cars as quickly as possible.
Mr. McGuire began to talk about the ending of other concerts where egress plans were risky. He stated we have
probably had vast conversations with the head of security. We told him everyone has blocked us with lawyers. He
stated that is going to be a thing for a little bit. M. Barrow asked about shutting down a show abruptly. M. Barrow
asked if it is normal to ask for a time to shut down the show. Mr. McGuire stated he would not provide a time. He
stated he would start the procedure to shut it down. He stated ever since Las Vegas and Ariana Grande in the UK
for the explosion. He stated from the artist side, there are safe-rooms. He went on to speak of safety plans he set
up for past artists.
Mr. McGuire stated he has stopped shows on a dime. He stated you can go to house and pull audio. He stated
people yell and start throwing things but they do not kill each other. I told Mr. McGuire about different radio
channels and how people have different frequencies. I asked if they typically share the same channel. He stated
there is normally a production radio channel. He stated then there is a security radio channel. He stated the sad
thing about CSC, they are not really trained security guards in any shape or form. He stated the usually took the
job to be place holder. He stated they usually have minimal training and zero responsibility.
Mr. McGuire stated then putting people in the barricade line where the incidents happened that have no training.
He stated he has come up with his systems to use security. He stated he does not expect much of them. He
stated someone has to be reviewing the problem and take the step to fix it. I asked if he has ever worked with
Unified Command. He stated he has not. We told him Unified Command appeared to be monitoring the crowd. I

asked if that is normal to have. He stated CSC. He stated we would want to speak with venue security that should
have been communicating the issues. M. Barrow asked if anyone is supposed to be monitoring the crowd in
concerts.
Mr. McGuire stated no. He stated there is not someone usually set for that position. He stated that is something
that the security on the ground is responsible for that. He stated the communication from those individuals is
between them. He stated there will be twelve security guards in a section and one of them will have a radio. He
stated went to talk about an invention he is working on to help the costs with the venues while adding to more
security. He stated there is no financial benefit for having a camera on the audience until this happens. M. Barrow
told him that this concert did have this but we do not know their role.
Mr. McGuire stated he would rely on people on the ground. He stated the Travis Scott Production Manager would
have been told that there is a problem. He stated he then should have gone to Travis Scott and said they need to
solve the problem. He stated Chris Roberts is a dear friend and left the job at Rolling Loud. He stated Travis
played Rolling Loud a month before and the people at the production for him quit. I told Mr. McGuire that I noticed
similarities in Astroworld and the documentary where Travis Scott would make comments to people out in the
crowd. I asked is that he finding people them out on his own.
Mr. McGuire stated he can see them 100%. He stated center stage there is the best perspective for anyone in the
crowd over everyone. He stated it is "fucking bullshit" if Scott says he does not know what was going on. He
stated there are videos out there where musicians that can see things in the past. He provided other scenarios
where an artist may be doing more activities on the stage and could still see something going on in comparison
with someone holding a microphone and moving back and forth on stage. John McGuire stated there are certain
things in this situation that cannot been overlooked.
We talked about some of the struggles we have been facing with the case thus far. Mr. McGuire stated he
understands and he felt as though we were going to talk to him at some point. He stated with all of the people
involved, Live Nation is not it. He stated they are not the active role but they are a company that had a contract.
M. Barrow asked if it is his opinion that the people responsible for this situation is the artist, the security manager,
and the production manager. Mr. McGuire stated yes. He stated there is the event producer. He stated Live
Nation is there on paper. He stated there may be one or two people there. He stated Live Nation up to this event
happened, they wanted Travis Scott to do all the tours with Live Nation. He stated Live Nation wants to put a toe
in the water to protect their artist.
He stated he is the owner for Trask House. He stated he is an event producer and creative director. He went into
the responsibilities of his job. He stated he or a festival designer would be in charge of the egress gates. He
stated it comes down to who is responsibility at that time. He stated we should have site mats that were through
the permit office which are public record. I told him the investigation is changing civil to criminal every day, back
and forth.
He stated Travis was his artist two years ago at festivals in 2019. He stated he did not want to work with Travis
anymore at a later date. He stated he saw Travis Scott yesterday at a funeral. He stated he appeared very
different than from who he was a year ago. He stated there will be a time that we get him in a room and his lawyer
will tell him to stop talking. He stated he has stayed out of the gossip with this case and knew that we would be
contacting him at one point. I thanked him for speaking with us.
He stated reach out to Clair Audio. He stated they are going to lawyer up. I asked if they will have personnel there.
He stated there is 90% chance that Clair Audio will have provided personnel for the audio. He stated it is possible
that it would be Justin who is a dear friend. He stated he is an employee of Clair. He stated we are looking for a
monitor engineer or a front house engineer. John McGuire began describing a past experience with George
Clinton. I asked if Travis would often perform encore. He stated yes. He stated the encore is usually up to the
artist. He stated the encore is likely planned in the setlist.
I asked Mr. McGuire if he has worked with Drake. He stated he has. He stated Drake is very professional, does
his job, and gets out. He stated we should continue to the put the timeline together. He stated we need to see
where the communication went. He stated we need to see who was supposed to tell Travis Scott and/or if he was
informed, what did he do. Mr. McGuire stated there is some negligence. He stated some people could have
stopped this. He stated the show should have stopped when a metal detector went down or the safety of the site

was compromised. He stated there is always the fear of riots. He stated that is the fear everyone has. He stated
he has prevented riots from happening and that it due the power of words. He stated with riots, people spread out.
He stated people are not compact anymore. He stated when Travis was on stage, people are moving towards the
stage. He stated most festivals has a "T" barricade. He stated that helps avoid this.
Mr. McGuire stated lawyers are going to protect e-mail trails. He stated if someone requested for a "T" barricade
and if it was ignored, that could be a problem. He stated for us to look into Safety Alliance. He stated he could
provide a unique perspective. He stated he might sit with his agenda. He stated but his knowledge on safety can
help. I thanked John McGuire for his time and he appreciated it. I then ended the phone call.
G.) Anonymous Caller - Phone Conversation (Disk 1A)
I introduced myself to the anonymous caller. The male stated that he wanted to speak with Commander Deese
and then he was passed along to me. He asked where he should begin. I told him that I am a lead detective on
the case. He stated he understood. He stated he is there to answer any questions and background information
should we need. He stated he has been following what has come to light the past couple of days. He stated most
of his ideas were laid out in his e-mail. He stated there are no unions for these type of events. He stated
unfortunately it is just common sense. He stated there are codes as to how you run the show. He stated there are
no unions to say that you must do X, Y, and Z for the show.
He stated what is abundantly clear with his interview with Charlemagne that is clear is that there was a set of
communications in place. He stated what was the protocols and emergency management discussed beforehand.
He stated he has been staying on it to gather what is out there. He stated he has been looking at the case pretty
intensely. He stated he has been looking at the timeline. He stated what he has gathered that things were going
wrong for about an hour. He stated Travis is saying that no one provided him with any information until police
were saying stop the show after Drake goes on. He stated then there is the footage when he notices the
ambulance in the crowd. He stated he looked off to the side to say what is going on to someone. The anonymous
tipster went on to say Mr. Scott is not a honest person and a pathological liar.
The anonymous person went on to say to give Travis the benefit of the doubt, the situation is completely
negligent. He stated you have to have a meeting beforehand to go through scenarios. He stated the artist has the
power to control the crowd. He stated it is a five minute conversation before the concert. He began to go through
scenarios. He stated it is completely standard stuff. He stated the key thing is anyone behind the scenes are his
employees. He stated he cannot pass the buck to Live Nation because it is his team that is on the radio
communications.
He stated if I asked John as he assumed John McGuire was working the show, I could get some information. I told
him John McGuire was actually not working the show. He stated if I asked anyone that was on his channel that is
his team. He stated it is his personal production team. He stated Live Nation is just facilitating. He stated David
Strongberg is his guy, muscle, and presence. He stated it comes down to what was the protocol. He stated it
comes down to who knew what was going on. He stated he would refer to past concerts because he is hesitant to
provide any information that could identify him as a source. He went on to mention past artists and how they
stopped shows without issues.
The anonymous tipster it does not seem as though there was any emergency discussion before the concert. He
stated there probably has never been any conversation for emergency planning because that is how Travis is. He
stated Travis says security will handle it. He stated he did not seem to have any notion to see things that
happened in the crowd. He stated he did not even know the golf-cart was an ambulance. He provided an analogy
as to how negligent this concert was. He stated he believes Travis had no clue as to who could stop the show
which shows that they never had the conversation.
The anonymous tipster said for us to look into the footage as though he asked a question to someone. He stated
someone had communication to his inner ear. He stated either someone did not say anything to Travis or
someone did and they decided to continue the show anyway. I asked if I could ask a couple questions. I asked

how long did he work with Travis. I told him that he e-mailed a lot of people and so I am going to have to
document that we spoke. I told him that I would leave out anonymous information. He stated he does not want to
provide any identifying information that people can put two and two together. He stated his e-mail has no
identifying information. He stated he has known Travis Scott for a long time. He stated he does not feel safe. He
stated he is trying to be a little helpful.
I asked how long has he worked with McGuire. He stated for a long time. I asked if he has ever worked with Clair
Global. I asked what their operations were. He stated if they are the ones who did the set-up. He asked if they set
up the mics or if they produce the mics themselves. They asked if we have identified the chain of command as far
as production management. I told him not really because there are a lot of groups out there. I mentioned some of
the companies and why the investigation is still unknown and ongoing. He stated he would look at it this way. He
stated all the others involved, this is how it works. He stated Travis picks his own designer. He stated it is his
festival and his show. He stated he is an obsessive person so every decision is his. He stated the designer and
production supervisor work hand in hand.
He stated the audio system is plugged into a soundboard. He stated we need to find out who the production
supervisor was pertaining to the audio-board setup. He stated there are two systems there. He stated the in-ears
are part of a consolidated system that is connected to the output of the house audio. He stated that is connected
to the speakers. He stated the DJ has the playback usually for tempo. He stated we have to find out where was on
that mic and who was on that mic. He stated we have to figure out what the protocol was on that mic. He stated
he has not been around the guy (Travis) in a while so he does not know the current snapshot as to how he
operates is.
The tipster stated the snapshot that he can provide is a snapshot from less than a year ago. He stated David
Strongberg is his manager and is a person that can answer these questions. He stated he is Travis' day to day.
He stated he will know who was on that mic. He stated that will be Travis' person. He stated the next question is
what the protocol is if anything happened. He began to give protocol questions. He stated the show itself and how
it is run is by Travis. He stated the reason he brought up John because John used to work for Travis playing two
roles. He stated John would work these roles that were usually done by two separate people. He stated we need
to speak with the production supervisor that is probably handled by a company. He stated we have to see who is
plugging the mics. He stated there are different mics plugged in and a microphone has to be plugged in. He stated
if we find out who was on the mic will get some answers. He stated we have to find a protocol if it existed.
He stated there is a world of stage management. He stated it is a word of standby. He began to speak about
stage management and how it is preparation. He stated it is clear that there was no chain of command set up. He
stated Live Nation provides a template but it is up to the performer to apply that plan while executing the show.
He stated if he understands the timelines, then were is reasonable general knowledge for people back stage to
know that people are dead for approximately an hour or more. He stated it does not appear that any
communication went to him for him to standby to stop the show. He stated we should go to David Strongberg and
ask what the emergency management was set for the show. He stated we should find out the emergency
protocols. He stated it sounds like all he expected was for something to get on the "sound horn" to let him know
something was wrong. He stated it is also possible that Travis is lying.
I asked when he worked with him in the past, was his privy to the security plans set before the concert. He stated
he did not work the touring capacity but worked with Travis in other ways. He stated he was at his shows a lot. He
stated he has no knowledge of that. He stated based on the little info he does have and how things are going, it
does not seem like there was emergency management prepping. He stated it does not appear that they thought
these are things to do. He stated he is not a lawyer. He stated they should be ready when something could
happen. He stated if you fail in providing a safe environment when that is your job, then you are liable. He stated
in any other situation except the Astroworld Festival, the artist is not responsible. He stated that is why this "idiot"
is saying that because that is the case ninety-percent of the time.
The anonymous tipster began to speak about other scenarios where the artist is not liable. He stated the
difference is that this is his festival. I told him that his information is insightful and I appreciate him reaching out to
us. He stated there is a lot of show-biz nitty gritty. He stated this is a specialized industry and that he is happy to

answer any questions he has. He stated he is aghast. He stated is taken aback how many people died in the
concert. I told him he can contact me through his number via text or e-mail. I told him that I know that he
contacted a lot of people with his information. He stated he is not normally this type of guy. He stated once he saw
Travis was attempting to have the case dismissed. He stated he felt as though the situation was obscene. He
stated it is all these middle class people trying to be gangsters and tell him not to be a snitch. I thanked the tipster
for his time and ended the interview.
H.) Cameron Decker Interview (Disk 1A)
Cameron Decker
W/M DoB:
On December 16, 2021, M. Barrow and I scheduled a meeting with Cameron Decker at Harris County Medical
Corp. We spoke in an office on-site to the business. The recording was audio recorded.
Cameron Decker stated he is the Medical Director of the Harris County Medical Corp. He stated he reports to the
board of directors. He stated he is the physician who is responsible for the medical oversight for the entire
organization. He works on training and field protocols. He stated he works in the clinical department and has a
broad range what he oversees. I asked if he has worked Astroworld before. He stated he believes he has worked
the past two events. He stated he knows he was there for the one in 2019. I asked what his capacity in these
events is. He stated historically, they provide all the EMS care and transport. He stated this event was unique
because they were not there to provide care at the venue. He stated it was only for transport.
He stated he is the sound and board for his crews when they are looking for the protocols that exist. He assists in
that way. He stated for this concert, he worked alongside Paradocs. He stated they would let him know if they
needed a patient transport. He stated he was out there to make sure the transition of patients from Paradocs to
Harris County Medical Corp as smooth as possible before they are transported to the hospital. He stated he would
also assist if there was anything from the clinical side of their crew; he would assist them as well. He stated his
role is to make sure the patient care once they get back inside of the ambulance was up to protocol.
I asked if he was with them for every transport. He stated he was with the crew if he was asked to. He stated there
were a few transports he assisted with. He stated when the disaster happened, he was there to facilitate
communication with HFD. Mr. Decker stated he and Paradocs had a smooth relationship for most of the day. He
provided a situation where a patient had a possible leg fracture and how they went to handle that. He mentioned a
time when a patient refused to go to the hospital once they were inside of the ambulance. He stated he assisted
with that. He stated those are some of the scenarios he assisted with. He stated he was a clinically oriented
supervisors.
I asked Mr. Decker if he could go through his day. He stated the times are hazy. He stated it was a reasonably
wonderful day before everything went south. He stated Harris County Medical Corps was working out of the
Communications Vehicle. He stated it was a mostly quiet space where they could plan deployments and
resources that were allocated to transports. He stated it was a nice sterile place to work overall. Cameron Decker
stated there were a few times where there was a communication error or confusion for patients on property. He
stated as the day went on, it was clarified. He stated there was some miscommunication about who Paradocs was
supposed to treat earlier in the day in which Harris County Medical Corps (HCMC) took over and it was
eventually resolved. He stated one of the critical moments when treating patients is when transferring care from
one provider to another.
Cameron Decker went on to say they had developed a tool throughout the day that helped them transition patient
care from Paradocs to HCMC. He stated he was quite surprised as to how low their transports were throughout
the day. He stated he recalled with 2019 that there were over fifty transports. He stated it can also be a burden on
the hospitals. He stated they worked on making sure hospitals are not overloaded and so they would spread out
the patient transport.
I asked where their command post was. He stated it was near the Paradocs medical tent at Gate #16. He stated

Narrative
they were in a truck. He that is where they were mostly deploying their assets from because they could get the
patients from the medical tent and take them to the Texas Medical Center. Cameron Decker repeated and stated
there was a stark difference from 2019. He stated they felt fortunate that there were not a lot of patients that day.
He stated Festivals get very busy. He stated a lot of it can be minor thing that can be weeded through. He stated
one of the nice things about Paradocs was that they wanted to minimize the impact on the hospital systems by
treat their patients as much as possible to keep them from going to the hospital.
I asked if he was working with anyone from Paradocs directly. He stated he had met a few from them that day. He
stated he met a few in the past from Paradocs before that day. He stated he pulled one guy aside named "Leo" or
something like that. He stated he showed him an area and said it was their area that they were responsible for. He
stated they clarified some things and that was it. He stated he did not go into the medical tent very often.
Mr. Decker stated they had a guy from HCMC in the Unified Command post. He stated Paradocs had one in the
Unified Command center as well. He stated to his knowledge, there was supposed to be a Unified Command
center where HPD, HCMC, Paradocs, possible event show people. He stated most of these events are supposed
to have a trailer set up should something go awry. I asked if he knows who represented his company in the
command post. He stated Alvaro Gonzalez. He stated he is a seasoned dispatcher with them and he believes Mr.
Gonzalez is a medic as well. I mentioned the company Unified Command. He stated unified command is the term
they use for the command post for these type of events.
I asked Mr. Decker to tell us what happened when the concert started. He stated it was smooth sailing. He stated
he had taken some calls and worked on some other things not pertaining to the festival because it was a pretty
easy day. Mr. Decker asked if I was talking about the "9 P.M." concert starting and I stated yes. He stated when
the 9:00 PM concert started, he was in the regional communications vehicle next to the medical tent. He stated
Michael Polk was a dispatcher helping get their folks to places. He stated Jimmy Silva was communicating with
Alvaro. He stated He was also speaking with HFD on cell phone and their radio which was linked to HFD on a
back channel. He stated to his knowledge, HFD was in a different command post in a different lot.
Cameron Decker stated he was in their command van when the concert started. He stated he remembered
reports coming in saying that people were having trouble breathing. He stated there were some problems with the
pyro-technics. He stated they believed the trouble breathing could be related to that. He stated they were not sure.
He stated Paradocs were responding to the area and would let them know if they needed transport, Paradocs
would let them know. He stated he started hearing and he cannot remember from where, someone had gone into
cardiac arrest. He stated Paradocs was responding to that. He stated they had multiple ambulance at the ready so
it was not critical for them at that moment. He stated it is not uncommon for people to go into cardiac arrest at
festivals.
Mr. Decker stated he believes when the second...(he began to back track). He stated he believes when the first
cardiac arrest made it to the tent, they had assigned a unit to transport that patient. He stated an interesting thing
about cardiac arrest; the care can be done in the streets. He stated the statistics show that it is better to perform
CPR on site rather than transport right away. He stated that can be due to missing opportunities to provide
effective care. He stated he believes they had one CPR that they knew of that was confirmed. I asked how did he
get the information. He stated it came over radio but he does not by whom. He stated it might have been
Paradocs. He stated they did not communicate with Paradocs directly. He stated their van connected to Unified
Command which was connected to Paradocs.
He stated for example, there was a situation earlier in the day where Paradocs approached an ambulance crew to
ask for transport. Mr. Decker stated this was discouraged because it circumvents the plan that was set in place.
He stated that is how it was preferred for the communication.
He stated they found about the first CPR. He stated he believes when they got the second CPR. He stated he is
not sure if the second one came in while he was talking to HFD about the first one. He stated when the second
one came in, he decided to call it very early. He stated he believes he requested ten ambulances. He stated he
called it an MCI on the second CPR. He stated they were not at MCI capacity because they had ambulances on
site that were ready. He stated he was concerned because there were two CPR out of the crowd and they did not
have the information as to why. He stated he called it an MCI.

He stated he reached out to SETRAC and told them it was an MCI. He stated they reach out to the hospitals and
let them know an MCI has been done in the area. He stated the staff at the hospitals can get ready and take a few
minutes to tell them how many patients they can take at what acuity level. He stated he did that personally with
SETRAC. He stated he has worked with them in a lot of different avenues. He stated he had to call people directly
at SETRAC to send it out. He stated he believes HFD was trying to do this simultaneously because SETRAC had
information already.
Cameron Decker stated he called from the RCVQ because his personal cell struggled to get out. He stated we
can reach out to Monty for those records. He stated he got a hold Lisa Spivey who stated she heard what he was
saying and sent out to the alert to via SETRAC. He stated he began on working allocating resources. He stated
HFD resources started to show up. He stated there seemed to be some confusion because they stated they were
trying to leave. He stated he was asking for one or two of the ambulances to stay. He stated others eventually
came back. He stated when one of the district chiefs and senior supervisors got there, they worked together to get
the ambulances out to certain hospitals based on the data / EMS resources. He stated their resources would
radio back to how many more patients they could take.
I asked if he was speaking with HFD to stay at Gate #16. He stated if we have footage, we will see him running
outside of the exit gate. He stated they had a camera that was hooked up near the medical tent but it does not
record. M. Barrow asked if he observed the conditions inside the medical tent. Mr. Decker stated he walked in
throughout the day. He stated he went in there when the incident was occurring a handful of times. He stated to
see what was going on and wanted to see the hand-off between the patient and crew. He stated after it had been
declared an MCI, he went into the tent mostly to get an idea as to how many patients they had to transport and
who needed priority. He stated Lars Thestrup and his fellow that were there helped to manage the care that was
being provided.
Cameron Decker went on to describe what a MCI is classified is. He stated as the MCI gets larger and larger,
there are mechanisms that get established to provide the care. He stated HFD came in and helped them with
transports as the MCI went on. He stated he would speak with Lars and ask which patient needed to be
transported.
We asked if he ever went into the tent and saw a female restrained. He stated that was not to his knowledge. He
stated he saw there were restraints connected to some of the cots that he had not seen before. He stated he
thought it was interesting. I asked Mr. Decker if he remembers seeing any of the victims and he stated he cannot
tie a patient to one that he saw in the tent. He stated he did not look carefully at faces. He stated there were
several times where people were being treated in the area towards the stage in the medical tent. He stated there
two critical care spots covered by black curtains in the medical tent as well. He stated he would occasionally pull
those back and see people under cardiac arrest. He stated he saw people that were dead and some that would
likely later die.
Mr. Decker stated the only time when he got a name from a significant other or spouse was when a female came
up saying that she was missing her significant other or fiancé. He stated he told her he does not know where he
is. He stated they are at the process of transporting people out. He stated he got her name and number. He stated
he got the male's name and number. She stated it was Danish Baig. He stated he had seen her and did not have
any details. He stated it was outside the tent. He stated it was outside the door that opened to the porta-potty. He
stated he never learned who he was and it was not until they released some names. He stated he learned she
had made contact with the re-unification center. He stated he feels bad that he never got back in touch with her.
He stated he believes she knew before he did who the deceased were.
Cameron Decker went on to say that they continued to get people off site until there were no one left. He stated it
was an unusual setting because the people they transported were critically ill. He stated there were others that
were transported that he did not personally evaluate. He stated he was surprised when the super sick people
were transported out, there was no one else to transport. He stated he does not know if people were cleared by
Paradocs, if they went home, if they went to the hospital themselves. He stated they transported all the patients
that needed to be transported. He stated after the last patient was transported off site, he pulled HFD that he was
working with aside.
Director Cameron Decker stated he spoke with Senior 33 and 1100 - Kent Phillips. He stated he pulled the district

chief. He stated they all walked into the command vehicle. He stated they tried to get a handle on numbers with
patients transported and destinations. He stated they spent approximately thirty minutes in there. He stated he
spoke with David Purse over HFD who stated they should go to the other staging location (where HFD / HPD was
located). He stated he had seen him earlier in the day so that is how David Purse knew he was out there. He
stated he spoke with his guys and they had debrief.
Mr. Decker stated the debrief with his crew was to help his team cope with the critical stress component. He
stated after that and a bunch of tears, he reconnected with Lars and David Purse. He stated they got some new
information and numbers. He stated he believes he spoke with the Fire Chief. He stated he provided contact
information. He stated he returned back to the RCVQ.
I asked about the incident when the Crime Scene Unit Investigator. Mr. Decker stated there was a Crime Scene
Unit that stated they cannot leave until an investigator gets there. He stated a lot of his people were stressed,
tired, and exhausted. He stated there were some unkind words exchanged. He stated his people stated that they
had to get to bed. He stated they knew that his personnel was not working in spaces that people had been
downed or that the medical tent was not their primary working space, they felt as though they could leave. I asked
if they took medical equipment from out of the tent. He stated he did not bring any equipment himself. He stated
he is sure some of the equipment came from Harris County Medical Corp. He stated they made sure that they left
with their equipment.
M. Barrow asked Mr. Decker if he was a part of the Paradocs debriefing. He stated he did not. He state he
remembers stepping out of the RCVQ early on at the onset of the disaster. He stated he remembers seeing some
Paradocs employees crying. He stated that occurred early on. He stated that occurred at the beginning of the first
or second CPR. He stated he knew that he could not stay with them and that he had to help. He stated he
remembers seeing Paradocs having a group meeting after everything happened. He stated he does not
remember when.
I asked Cameron Decker if he ever asked anyone to stop the show. He stated yes. He stated he remember at one
time in the tent, he turned to Lars and his fellow. He stated he took a breath and they all made eye contact. He
stated he believes they all were thinking the same thing; that the show was still happening. He stated he asked
why they have not stopped the show. He stated Lars stated HPD has requested the show to stop already. I asked
if that occurred early on or after multiple cardiac arrests. Mr. Decker stated he cannot remember. He began to ask
about when the fireworks occurred with the show. He stated he could not say if it was before or after the fireworks.
He stated it was enough that a lot had happened. He stated he knew that it was a disaster at that point. He stated
that was the one time that he asked to stop the show.
I asked if he knows if any of his employees ever told him that they attempted to stop the show. He stated not to
his recollection. I went back to talking about the radio communication. Mr. Decker stated they had one channel to
connect the units to the Command Van (RCVQ). He stated Monty was on that channel. He stated that is the
operations channel. He stated on another channel that was in the RCVQ, they could communicate directly with
HFD. He stated he cannot recall if there was a third channel that connected with the Unified Command post. He
stated he believes he is correct on that. He stated there might have been three channels total. He stated at one
point, they were listening to the HPD shared channel. He stated at one point, HFD stated they were getting some
911 calls in the area stating people could not breathe.
I asked if his team has trained for MCI. He stated they have. He stated they have an MCI guideline for his
company. He began to go through some of the plans that they have set for MCI and the training they have. Mr.
Decker stated he has a background in MCI and does training throughout different venues within the state. He
stated in a normal situation, he would have been in Lars's role. He stated knowing that he and the fellow were
there, he knew that position was well managed. He stated he continued to focus on the transport role. He stated
Monty acted as a supervisor to make sure the transports were getting sent to the right calls. He stated Monty was
called to deal with Alvaro when the critical incident began. He stated he was sent there to deal with HPD and
other organizations to get things handled.
I asked if he has worked with Lars and Paradocs before. Mr. Decker stated he has worked with Lars but has not
worked with Paradocs before. He stated he has never worked with them as a company before. He stated they had

limited exposure to them up to the event. He stated he thought he was going to get to meet them in their
pre-event walkthrough that they did. He stated he and Mike Polk was there. He stated they were there with
security and others. He stated he made he made certain statements pertaining to possible MCI situations and
scenarios. He stated he works with HCSO and their tactical medicine as well. He stated he has worked multiple
MCI situations in the past.
I asked how he felt about Harris County Medical Corps performance. He stated he felt they did a good job. He
stated they called an MCI early and provided more ambulances that was asked for. He stated at the first inkling
that they felt something was going wrong with the cardiac arrests, they called an MCI. He stated he has called a
few MCIs in Houston. He stated yes, that he was right to call an MCI early. He stated he did not take part in any
care for a specific individual patient. He stated he cannot say with absolute certainty, but cardiac arrest in a
medically based situation, they typically manage those situations in the field. He stated he does not recall seeing
anyone alone in cardiac arrest on a stretcher. He stated he believes every single person he saw, there was a crew
around them. I asked if he felt that things inside the tent was being handled. He stated he believes they were. He
stated he does not know the full level of care. He stated he does not think anyone was neglected. He stated he
was not in there for more than thirty seconds at a time.
Mr. Decker stated if all of the news reports are correct about people being under cardiac arrest for approximately
thirty minutes in the crowd before getting to the tent, the odds of survival is exceeding low. He stated the odds for
them to go home to their family from the hospital is essentially none at that point from cardiac arrest. He stated
even having a thousand medics to help someone that has been in cardiac arrest for thirty minutes would not be a
positive outcome. He stated even if you bring in some of the best medics or physicians in the world; it's not going
to happen. He stated this is his interpretation in his mind. He stated this is a pre-planning issue. He stated this is
something that should have been prevented not a response scenario thirty minutes later. He stated if these
victims had been spotted immediately, then maybe something could have been prevented.
I asked Cameron Decker if he has anything else to add to the investigation and he stated he does not think so. He
asked if we had anything else to ask and M. Barrow told him no.
I terminated the interview at 1635 Hours.
We thanked Mr. Decker for his time and left the location.
2.) HFD Questions / Voluntary Witness Statement:
HFD Written Statements
My squad and I wanted to get statements from HFD Personnel who worked the festival venue as we wished to get
statements from our officers. S.I.U. would be in charge of getting HFD statements. I learned from Lt. L. Menendez
that HFD was seeking legal counsel before providing statements for our investigation. HFD was provided the
following questions to respond.
For each period of time that you were present at the Travis Scott Astroworld Festival on November 5-6, 2021,
please state in detail:
1.)Your time(s) of arrival/departure;

Letter Observations Pertinent to Case:
Excerpt from Enrique Guerra's Letter -
"I had communications with HCEC throughout he vent from 7am to approximately 10 pm by radio on HM 13
(Harris Co. Mutual Aid 13). I don't believe this channel was recorded. Our communications consisted of how many
units they had available for transport and how many they've transported so far. I would also ask for information
about ParaDocs (How many patients they've treated? How many patients they have in the Med Tent?). I had to
request ParaDocs information from HCEC because we had no way to communicate with ParDocs. Later
approximately 3 or 4pm we received a phone number to contact ParaDocs. Sometimes they answered and
sometimes they did not. Some communications came from Deputy Chief Garcia between 9pm - 9:30 pm advising
what he was witnessing from around the Main Stage area. It was this information along with our (Koochack, Lloyd,
and me) experience to be Pro-Active and dispatch an EMS Task Force to stand-by in the Maroon Lot at 9:37 pm
with the intentions to move over to Gate 16 in the Yellow Lot if needed. Approximately 9:38pm HCEC come over
the radio to announce they had 6 CPRs in progress. No, I am not aware of any video or audio recordings of our
communications."
Excerpt from Matthew Llyod's Letter -
Mobile Command 008 was situated in Orange lot of the NRG complex with HPD mobile command apparatus.
Communicated with Paradocs via phone call.
Excerpt from Ryan Danescu's Letter -
"As part of my role, I monitored radio transmissions from the incident and recorded noteworthy events from HPD
and HFD. I also recorded information received indirectly regarding event security and on scene EMS
(Paradocs/Harris County EMS). I recorded these events in the ICS 214 (activity log) with a time stamp for the
event. Please refer to the ICS 214 log from the incident for additional details as it was 11 pages long."
Of the six statements, the letter of Deputy Chief R. I. Garcia currently holds the most value to the investigation at
this time. Therefore, I have transcribed most of his letter as I believe it should be included as a statement in this
offense report.
Excerpt from Robert Isaac Garcia's Letter -
In response to Questions #3:
"The only contact I had with anyone was when I saw a couple emerge from the crowd. The young lady appeared
to be having a panic attack. This occurred at approximately 21:20. She appeared to be catching her breath and
her boyfriend attempting to calm her. I radioed to HFD Command what I was witnessing. Within a couple minutes,
another young lady came out from the crowd near the Travis Scott statue and appeared to be catching her breath.
She said she was having trouble breathing. I radioed and called via cell of what I was seeing to HFD Command
and for them to check with Parado[c]. Shortly thereafter, a small medical team arrived at the statue and appeared
to be assessing the 2 ladies. I only conducted a quick visual assessment to see if they were needing medical
attention.
A few minutes prior to these 2 ladies emerging from the crowd, a young man approximately 25 years old, wearing
a San Antonio Spurs jersey was seen sitting in some sort of distress approximately 25 feet from the crowd. He
was soaking wet. He seemed to have come from the crowd. I watched him to determine if he needed help,
however he quickly recovered and walked away from the crowd. Shortly thereafter, 2 ladies appeared in distress.
That is when I realized that the crowd was compressing, and people were emerging from the crowd under duress.

3.) CSU Statement:
After learning about the confrontation between Harris County Medical Corps and CSU, I decided to get a
statement from CSU S. Lambert. She stated she already provided a statement to her supervisors. I asked if she
could provide said statement. It has been copied and pasted below:
Sarah Lambert
Crime Scene Supervisor
500 Jefferson St. 13th Floor
Houston, TX 77002
"Within a few minutes of arrival on scene a vehicle pulled up to the dirt lot and said they needed to enter the scene
and collect their medics on scene because they needed mental health care and HPD refused to give it to them.
They arrived angry and upset. I asked the officer next to the vehicle if he knew anything about that as I wasn't
sure if there was a previous arrangement. He said no, no one can enter/leave the scene. The gentleman were
yelling about how that is unacceptable and they needed care. I told him that they can't leave, the detectives were
on their way but if there was an emergency I would walk them in and they could provide care while detectives
were enroute. Based upon their demeanor I was concerned that someone was having a true mental health break.
They drove off and I walked to the medical tent. By the time I arrived they had left their vehicle and were talking
to ambulance drivers. When I approached the gated area they came to talk to me and were yelling about how
they were taking their staff and leaving. I told them again no one can leave or drive out any vehicles but the
detectives were 5 minutes out and he could talk to them. Another gentleman came over and was yelling about
how they didn't care and they were leaving. I asked them to please wait 5 minutes, and reminded them they
entered a crime scene and have to abide by the crime scene needs. They continued to yell about how they were
the contacted medical team and their medics have lost 7 lives and needed mental health assistance and needed it
now. They yelled about how terrible HPD was and wanted to know why I waited until now to come. They asked if
HPD received the same treatment and I told them I would not argue about HFD and HPD. I told them I was crime
scene, I reminded them I just arrived when they did and they really needed to talk to the detectives. While I was
talking to them other bystanders were entering the gated area, and one of them said why was I letting others in. I
asked the other individuals to please stop and they couldn't enter right now and the same gentleman was yelling
at the bystanders that I was not HPD and I could not stop them and to go ahead and do whatever they wanted.
Another gentleman arrived and introduced himself and the director of Harris County Emergency Corp and asked
what was my problem. I repeated the detective was on his way, this was a crime scene and the area they were in
was of interest in the investigation. He said he would wait 5 minutes and then they were leaving. The other men
were yelling and stated they were not waiting, one placed a business card in my hand, they were getting their
people and driving out so I had better move. I stated I am sorry you are frustrated but.. and one of the men
started yelling about how he was not frustrated he was disgusted, I was disgusting, HPD was disgusting and he
was sickened by me. At this time I walked away to try and find an officer as more bystanders were arriving and it
was getting too hostile. The interaction was heated from their arrival to their departure and was never calm or
professional. During this time period many individuals were entering the gated medical area to remove bags and
vehicles and I could not contain the area. I attempted to get HPD to help contain the area but none were available
or in the area. Multiple individuals, vehicles, bags, golf carts left the gated area, multiple individuals entered and
left with stuff multiple times. I handed the business card to the detective when he arrived which was about 3
minutes after their departure, and continued processing the scene. It was determined that the medical area would
not be searched since it was uncontrolled and the exact location of the incident was unknown."
[End of Statement]
I think it is also important to note as to why the Medical Tent was not processed and treated as a part of the crime
scene. The initial information M. Barrow and I was given was the case was a mass possible drug overdose with

fentanyl. In addition to that information, we did not know where our crime scene was. We arrived on scene with a
patrol vehicle north of the Travis Scott stage and did not know where to begin. I spoke with Monty from HC
Medical Corps who stated it was unknown where the individuals came from. CSU S. Lambert stated the Medical
Tent was compromised due to medical personnel removing their equipment and not secured by patrol. We
believed the concert grounds was our crime scene and guessed that it took place in front of the Travis Scott
stage.

1.) Tagging Surveillance Evidence
1.) Tagging Surveillance Evidence:
On January 18, 2022, I met with HPD Homicide Officer H. Nguyen (PR I collected the original 5
harddrives provided to him to copy over onto external harddrives and the new harddrive he copied all of the
surveillance onto. N. Nguyen copied three total harddrives (one went to the FBI documented in another
Supplement, one is kept in a cabinet with Squad 1, one is to be tagged into the HPD Property Room in this
Supplement.) I took custody of the two external copies. One is labeled Astroworld HPD and the other is
Astroworld EVD. Astroworld HPD is the one that will stay with Squad 1 for now. The Astroworld EVD will be
tagged into the property for safe keeping. H. Nguyen has a separate working harddrive that he uses in case we
need his services named 4T. It will be tagged at a later date near the conclusion of this investigation. The
following will be tagged into the HPD Property Room under this case number in a black Pelican 1400 Case:

Monty Northern
Detective Caten and I met with Monty at the Harris County Emergency Corps. Facility located at 2800 Aldine
Bender Rd. We delivered to him a subpoena requesting the logs and documentation related to the Astroworld
Festival. Monty's title within the company is the Director of Special Events. The following is a summary of our
interview with Monty:
Explaining the Business Structure
Monty stated that ASM Global is the management company for NRG Park. They contracted through Harris County
Sports Cooperation. ASM Global manages the contracts for the park. He stated that Mark Miller was the GM of
the Park.
He stated that HCEC is a company that provides all EMS care whose primary focus is on 911 calls. Back in 2010,
HCEC took over EMS duties from another company for events at NRG Park. Since that time, they have received a
lot of training for event scenarios including mass causality events and special procedures.
HCEC Role
He stated that normally his company provides full medical services for events that take place in the Park. They are

Narrative
involved with all of the football games, festivals, and even Astroworld in 2019. For the last Astroworld they
covered: Medical tent, roaming crews, cart crews, and hospital transports (approximately 47 transports that day
which he described as very busy but manageable). However, in the planning for Astroworld 2021, he recognized
there would be a staffing shortage and he explained to the management company that they would not be able to
work all of the aspects of medical care for this event. It was decided that HCEC would solely handle hospital
transports for this event while the duty to provide a medical staff would be place upon the promotion company
Live Nation/Scoremore.
Monty stated they had five ambulance trucks prepared for this event. They were staged at Gate 16. They had a
dispatcher working out of a command post in the Purple lot. As to the medical set up for this event which remained
consistent if the event turned into a MCI was: Triage, Treatment, and Transport. Paradocs was hired to manage
triage and treatment while HCEC was hired to do transport.
We asked him if they had ever worked with Paradocs before. He stated that they had not worked with them.
Speaking on Paradocs' performance he briefly stated that they did not do things the way they would have done
them.
Prior to the Festival, there was an all personnel meeting to go over the event itself. He stated they had their own
radio station channel 13 and channel 14 (to communicate with HFD) which is part of the larger radio station,
HCCMED. He stated that Paradocs had their own radios for their purposes in the field but the other entities did not
have those. They primarily communicated with Paradocs face to face or over the phone. Meanwhile, HFD was
staged in the Orange Lot.
Monty told us who was inside the central command post: Internal Police, concessions, CSC, ASM Global, HCEC,
Live Nation and Paradocs. He stated there were probably other entities there but he could not remember who they
were with. He stated that they were in constant communication with Paradocs since they had people at the table
with each other.
The Events of the Day
Monty stated that in contrast to the previous time that they worked this festival they only had six hospital
transports prior to the Travis Scott concert. He stated that they would never see any of the patients that Paradocs
were working on unless they were being transported. He stated they never entered the medical tent, as that was
Paradocs' responsibility.
He stated that at 8:59 PM, he gathered his group working the event to take a group photo as they were
accustomed to doing from previous events. Afterwards, many of them walked to a point where they could see the
stage light up at the start of the performance. He stated that he took a few photos of the stage but they did not
show the crowd.
Shortly after 9 PM, Monty received radio communication on HCCMED where the dispatcher said, "hey, I am
getting reports of multiple people down on the ground, let Paradocs know". He stated that the communication from
HCCMED was routed to the Transport Supervisor who radios that message to central command. He stated that
the Dispatcher who was in the command post was Alvaro Gonzales.
Monty stated that he personally witnessed multiple people in various states of unconsciousness entering the
medical tent. He was standing outside the tent near the transport staging area. It was around that time that the
Transport Supervisor advised them to stay ready by their vehicles and prepare for multiple calls coming in at the
same time.
When all of this started happening, he stated that he was already down two transport units. One had taken
someone who was in the tent earlier for non-critical injuries and the other was for a female with a laceration on her
hand from attempting to scale the perimeter fence. They had three units on property at the time of the first CPR
call.
By his recollection, Monty believed that Bharti was the first one brought in and then transported by his team. He
estimates that she was brought around 9:45 PM. He stated that he saw Dr. L. Thestrop who was there in a tactical
role with HFD doing CPR on Bharti.

Narrative
While Bharti is being worked on, he stated that he noticed behind a curtain in the tent Ezra being intubated. He
notified his available transport units to prepare for the transport of both Bharti and Ezra.
He stated that at approximately 9:49 PM, he received a call to report to the central command post and take over
as the incident command for medical. He left from gate 16 and travelled to purple lot. He stated he walked in and
was met by someone from his company, a representative from Paradocs, and a representative from internal
police that he has worked with in the past. It was acknowledged by those in the room that this was chaos.
He stated that he believed this event was declared an MCI at 9:47 PM. He defined that as the moment when they
had exhausted their resources and needed outside help to hand the situation.
He stated that Paradocs had one of their medical carts stuck in the crowd. He heard about it after he had taken
over for Alvaro in the command post. He stated that the cart was requesting medical help to their location. He
stated that someone from HPD stated that they were pulling their guys from the crowd because sending
individuals into the crowd presented a safety problem. It was recommended that HCEC not send any of their staff
into the crowd either stating that people are getting assaulted going into the crowd and it is packed very tight. The
decision was made that they (HCEC) would not be sending anyone with an ambulance because it was not going
to be possible.
He stated that he took over the dispatch duties after the ambulance cart had gotten stuck in the crowd. He stated
they were listening to the chatter from that stuck cart and they talked amongst themselves asking why the show
was still going on. He stated that for a time, Paradocs lost communication with the cart personnel. He stated that
he did not know who the cart personnel were attending to at the time. It was believed that it was someone
receiving CPR.
He stated that he knew for certain which five people that underwent CPR went with his crew and which five went
with HFD. He stated that HCEC transported: Ezra, Bharti, Mirza, Jacob, and Brianna.
He stated that his goal while working the Dispatch was to determine how many people Paradocs was treating and
what each of their dispositions were. He talked about the tagging system for how each patient was tagged during
an MCI. They refrained from declaring anyone deceased because they were only minutes away from the hospital.
They maintained communication with HFD to organize the follow up care for each of the patients. He stated that
Dr. Decker was assisting the coordination for which patients were transported with each agency.
He stated that while working Dispatch, he first attempted to establish patient care in certain locations in the field.
When he realized that they would be fighting the crowd anywhere they go, he instructed all patients to be brought
to Main Medical to be treated and transported. He stayed in Dispatch until 2318 hours.
Monty explained the communications between HCEC and HFD. He explained that Paradocs shared some of their
personnel phone numbers with members of HFD. He is unclear exactly what HFD has as far as employee lists are
concerned.
He stated that at no point was he advised that the show would be ending early. He did not hear anything over the
radio letting him know that the show would be stopped or would end soon. He stated that only when Travis
officially left the stage did he learn that the show had ended. He recalled earlier how he verbalized his frustrations
to those in the room asking why the show was still going on. He stated this statement by him was met with blank
stares.
Regarding the police presence inside the command post, he believed the Officer that was in there was Hendricks.
He stated Hendricks was asking a lot of questions regarding the patients and preparing what he called a public
information release of some sort. He recalled Hendricks was texting someone constantly and he recalled telling
him that he did not have a lot of information to share with him because the situation was ongoing.
He stated that at one point he made a call to Liam Staglio who is the assistant manager for the Park. She called
him to confirm that there were CPRs in progress to which he confirmed that there were six undergoing CPR at the
time which was 2217 hours.
The Aftermath

1490724-21 0047
Narrative
He stated that he returned to Main Medical (tent) at approximately 2318 hours. All of his transport crews had
returned from the hospital. He stated that he got with Dr. Decker and Dr. Hurst to go over the overall timeline in
preparation for a press conference that they were told would be held in the orange lot. He held a small de-briefing
session with his team to talk about all of the events that had occurred. While he left for the press conference, his
crew remained and started cleaning up there areas. At that point they had not been told that the second day
would be cancelled. He also received phone calls from Polk and Silva who were near main medical cleaning up
that family was beginning to arrive and asking them where their missing loved-ones were located. He later learned
that it was Hilgert's mother and father who stopped by main medical.
Monty did not have a high opinion of Paradocs. He stated there conflicts during the day about who was supposed
to provide care to patients at various locations of the Park. He provided examples of patients located on the
perimeter of the park or at a location where Paradocs claimed they were not going to respond to.
End of Interview.
Dr. Lars Thestrop
HFD
Detective Caten and I arranged to have an interview with Dr. Thestrop on 11/30/2021. We met with him at his
office at 500 Jefferson. He is employed by the Houston Fire Department as the Assistant Medical Director. He
often is assigned to special events or working with HPD SWAT team. The following is a summary of our interview
with Dr. Thestrop:
Dr. Thestrop began by explaining his day from start to finish. He stated that he checked in at an HFD Command
Post located in the Purple lot way on the other side of the stadium. He checked in with the HFD Chief there. He
was asked by the Chief to check with Harris County Emergency Medical Corps and Paradocs who were staging
their areas at the time. He was asked to get a radio from Paradocs in order to improve their communications
which at that point was only by cell phone.
He stated he got into a cart with Officer Bessellman and rode down to Main Medical by gate 16. When they arrive
he saw that Paradocs was already working on a lot of patients. He recalled coordinating with someone named
Anthony from Paradocs the day before and letting him know50 the plan should things go poorly at the concert and
how he would step in should it become a critical or emergency situation. He was also told by Paradocs that they
had already handed out all of their radios and had no more to give.
After speaking with Paradocs, he visited Dr. Decker who was stationed in the large communications truck located
near the Main Medical. After meeting with Dr. Decker, he re-connected with SWAT and staged at one of the
entrances with them out near the "bubble" practice field, near the southwest corner. He stated that he remained
there for most of the day until the concert started.
He stated that about two or three minutes into the start of the Travis Scott concert, he heard over the HPD radio
that one of the barricades at the concert had failed. Upon hearing this news, he stated that he began travelling
towards Main Medical because in his mind the failing barricade was not a good sign and could mean that people
were getting hurt.
He stated that they drove down the street from where they were to Main St. and began searching for gate 16, but
they could not find it. He stated that he texted the HFD Chief to let him know that they were headed down to the
Medical Tent. He also let Officer Bessellman know who was with the SWAT team.
He stated that the parked somewhere along gate 15 and walked in the direction of the Medical Tent. They came
across several concert-goers and a female who was on the ground saying that she had been raped while in the
crowd. He looked and saw a security guard nearby and told him to take that female to the medical tent. Soon after
they made it the medical tent and found it to be in chaos. He stated that the seating area was full of kids with
minor injuries and there were other laid out on the beds who he assumed were dealing with overdoses. Then, he
saw a body brought in which appeared to be one of the cardiac arrests. A short time passed when another body
was brought in, and he began working on it.
While he is working on one cardia arrest, another one comes in, then another, and then he sees Chief Satterwhite

and Chief Hardin bring in an unresponsive female. He stated they were at approximately four cardiac arrest
patients at that point. He looked at Chief Satterwhite and told him that they needed to shut this down now, talking
about the concert. Chief told him that had spoken to him (about shutting down the show). He stated that after that
conversation, another two people were brought in cardia arrest. He stated that he lost his sense of time at that
point and was just moving around the room trying to help.
He stated all of the cardiac arrest patients were attended to. All were given open airways, narcan, epinephren,
and any other treatment they could at that time. He stated they were not sure if they had been crushed but what
he did observe is that it appeared that they had been down in the crowd for a while based on their appearance.
He also noted that they were all very young. He stated that he spoke to Dr. Decker earlier, around the time the
third victim was brought in to ask if he had declared this a Mass Casualty Incident. Dr. Decker stated at that point
that he had done so.
He stated that around the time Chief Satterwhite left the tent, HFD showed up. He stated that he started directing
patients for transport. At that time a few security guards arrived at the tent dragging another victim with them. He
stated that he directed all those in the tent to only admit those who were dead or dying and for all other patients to
wait outside the tent. He approximated that they worked on 11 cardiac arrest patients in 46 minutes. He observed
all of the other patients who not in cardiac arrest and noted that one had a crushed larynx, another had
apparently overdosed, while others had moderate to severe injuries. He stated that he was essentially triaging all
of them according to their injuries. They were just trying to get people out to the hospital as fast as they could.
Breaking down the Information
I asked him about what time he thinks the first cardiac arrest entered the tent. He stated that he guessed it was
somewhere between 9:20 and 9:30. He stated that throughout the night, the victims would come in pairs. It would
be two victims, then a break, then two more, and so on. He recalled getting on the radio to talk with Officer
Bessellman and told him that there still may be victims in the crowd but it was not safe to go in there alone. He
directed him to take teams out there to look for others that may be down in the crowd.
I asked him if he had radio communication with Paradocs throughout the night. He stated that he only could
communicate with them by cell phone. He stated that they had some type of radio for themselves but they were
different than what they were carrying. He recalled when he first entered the tent, he saw Anthony from Paradocs
and they looked at each other and they instinctively knew what they had to do at that point.
Detective Caten clarified with him that the only reason he went to the medical tent was because of the report that
a barricade had failed. He stated that was accurate, because he felt that if a barricade had failed then people were
getting crushed or otherwise hurt. He recalled that it took them 15 or 20 minutes to get to the medical tent after
the report of the failed barricade. He also recalled hearing the stress in the Officers voices who were getting on
the radio which furthered his belief that bad things were happening.
He described the sound conditions inside the tent. He stated that the music was loud and the people inside the
tent were screaming and crying and you just could not hear anything else including radio communications. He
stated that when Chief Satterwhite entered the tent, they had to scream into each other's faces in order to
communicate.
Explaining the Command trailers, he stated there was an HFD trailer and an HPD trailer right next to each other,
and the HFD trailer had an HPD liaison inside of it. He stated that HFD's intel was coming from HPD's radio
network.
Detective Caten asked if he believed all of the listed victims of this case went through the medical tent while he
was there. He stated that was sure that they all did. He stated that there were for sure 11 cardiac arrests with the
11th one being someone who survived after having a cardiac arrest induced by a drug overdose.
Detective Caten asked him about the decision whether or not to declare anyone dead at the scene. Dr. Thestrop
explained if he started declaring people dead at the tent then they would have had to remain there for the duration
of the evening, taking up space which was needed to work on other patients. Another reason for not declaring
them dead was the victim's ages. He stated that due to their ages he wanted to give them every change do make
it and wanted them to receive additional care at the hospital. He also stated the whole tent would have turned into

Narrative
a crime scene.
We talked about the appearance of the victims. He stated that it was curious that some of them had no signs of
trauma. He explained why they used narcan on all of them only because they had used narcan on someone
earlier and it seemed to work so they had to try it on everyone. He talked about some being blue in the face. He
stated that he did not believe the whole "stabbed in the neck with drugs story".
I asked him if there was a Paradocs personnel list which Monty from HCEC stated was given to HFD. Dr. Thestrop
stated that he never saw such a list. In speaking of Paradocs, he stated that they did a good job. He recognized
that they were not disaster medics but instead were event medics who were doing the best they could in a terrible
situation. He understood that they were getting a bad rap in the media but felt that was unjustified given the
circumstances.
I asked him how long he stayed in the medical tent. He stated that he remained there the whole time until
everyone had been either treated or transported. He remained there to debrief Chief Satterwhite and Chief Finner.
I asked if anyone was snapping pictures of what was going on in and around the tent. He stated that he did not
know if anyone was, he could not tell.
I asked him if he recalled who Chief Satterwhite said that he spoke to telling him to shut down the show. He stated
that he did not know, only that he felt relief that it was going to end soon. They continued working until the music
stopped and he directed the SWAT guys and other Officers to search the grounds because he thought they were
going to find more bodies. To his astonishment, they did not find any more.
He explained his history with the Astro World event. He stated that he was not involved with the last one in 2019.
He stated that previous event was almost declared an MCI. Because of that history he decided to get involved
with this Astro World event which was when he coordinated with Dr. Decker. He stated that he had no contact with
head of security, producers, or Travis Scott personnel.
Detective Caten asked about the medical supply shortage that was reported. Dr. Thestrop stated that the medical
tent could only hold so much equipment. Eventually when HFD came by, they were able to get re-supplied on
some items. He stated that he could not speak to whatever shortages Paradocs was experiencing out in the field.
He said that everyone from Paradocs was doing CPR despite the report that one of them did not know how to do
it.
He stated that one of the Doctors what was there working for Paradocs is a third year resident at Memorial
Hermann. He stated that there was medical director somewhere. He also recalled seeing another physician, a
blonde female who had some flowers in her hair. He believed that she was from California, working for Paradocs.
End of Interview
Soryiah
Detective Caten had been in communication with an EMT who is employed by the Harris County Emergency
Corps but for the Astro World event she volunteered to work for Paradocs in the Medical Tent. She agreed to
come to 1200 Travis to interview with us. The following is a summary of our interview with Soryiah:
She stated that she is a medical student at University of Houston. She wanted to get into a more hands-on job
within in the medical field. She has been with HCEC for about a year. During her time with HCEC she has
undergone a lot of training and has had several opportunities working the emergency 911 calls. She has been in a
lot of high stress scenarios and felt overall prepared for a lot of scenarios. However, she has not performed CPR
prior to this incident, she felt that she was very prepared.
She stated that prior to the event an email went out with HCEC explaining how they were short staffed and would
only be working the transport aspect of this event. The email also solicited to HCEC employees who were still
interested in working the event as part of the medical staff to reach out to a contact with Paradocs. She stated that
she did reach out to Paradocs and she completed some paperwork that enabled her to essentially be a Paradocs
employee for a day. She and her fellow employee/friend, Priscilla signed up to work with Paradocs. She was

motivated to work the event because she felt like it would be a good experience for her and her medical career.
She stated that she and Priscilla carpooled together to the event the morning of 11/5. They checked in at the
medical tent and received their Paradocs shirts to wear for the day. She believed they clocked in around 7 or 8
am.
She stated she was assigned to the medical tent. She believed that the assignments within Paradocs were made
based on experience levels. She noted that the people who had 911 experience and the additional training that
came with that were assigned to the medical tent while the rest were to respond in the field. She was not sure if
this was the official manner that they picked the assignments.
She explained that the medical tent was divided in to two sections. She was assigned to the section that
contained the chairs for patients to come and sit on and be attended to for their minor injuries. The other part of
the tent had beds for those who needed more treatment for moderate to severe injuries.
She stated that they spent most of the early part of the day attending to patients with minor injuries. She stated
there were a lot of people with scrapes and other injuries. She state that she did not have a radio or any way to
communicate with anyone in the field. She was only able to communicate in person to the doctors and other
personnel inside tent.
Detective Caten asked about the crowd rush at the entry gates earlier in the day. She stated that she and the
medical tent treated a lot of injuries at that time. She described how throughout the day, before the concert,
people tended to come in waves. There would be periods of time when nothing was happening or times when it
was very busy. She heard about people getting trampled at the merchandise line as well other than the entry gate.
Detective Caten asked what was the worst injury treated before the concert or if anyone appeared to be under the
influence of narcotics. She stated that there was maybe one person that she saw that was said to have
consumed acid, but it was a juvenile and was transferred to the pediatric section of the tent. She recalled the
worst injury she saw before the concert was just some really bad scrapes, all of which were treatable at the tent.
Detective Caten asked her how the patients were logged or tracked. She stated that each patient was asked to
present their ID or something and that information would be gathered by one of two people designated as
Trackers in the medical tent. She believed their names were Leo (or Liam) and Unis (or Eunis). She stated that
they were not with Paradocs either but with another 911 agency, but she was not sure which. She believed they
were 18 and 19 years old. She believed that they were assigned to her area specifically but they could have been
gathering patient information throughout the tent.
Detective Caten asked her if she had a direct supervisor from Paradocs. She stated that it was unclear if she had
a supervisor. When she would have a question about something, she would talk to the assigned nurse in her area
so she considered that person to be her supervisor in a way. We asked who the Doctor she reported to in the tent
was. She stated immediately that the Doctor was a bitch. She stated that Doctors first name was Donica and she
had little flowers that lit up in her hair, "flower power". She stated that she generally avoided Dr. Donica and would
refer all questions to the nurse.
The Events during the Concert
She stated that her and two others left the medical tent to take their dinner break around 8:30 pm. They walked
over to the food trucks and she noted that "Sizza" was playing at the other stage. For a moment she thought it
was pretty cool that she was there and she was able to catch a portion of that show. That sat outside the medical
tent and talked for a while until "Sizza" ended and they were told that Travis Scott was about to perform. They all
returned to the tent and got ready for the show to begin.
She stated that they were all bracing themselves for the worst because she and many of them had heard how bad
Travis Scott concerts have been in the past in terms of how full the medical tent gets with people. She stated that
the medical tent was positioned next to the main stage. From her perspective it was to the left of the stage. She
did not expect the show to be as bad as it ended up being. She stated that it was never discussed in the medical
tent what was to be done if the situation rose to an emergency or if they had deceased persons. She remarked
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:12 Page 8 of 11

Narrative
that Paradocs seemed to be disorganized and it was not always clear what the standards and procedures were.
She mostly just went with the flow during the day.
She stated that in her mind things began to go bad when the security guard who was potentially overdosed
entered the tent. She stated that she could not recall the exact time the guard came in, but it was sometime during
or just before the first Travis Scott song. She saw that he was brought in on a wheel chair and it was commented
by someone in the tent that someone had injected him. He was brought back to the "rooms" in the back of the
tent. She was not sure what kind of treatment he received other than narcan, but shortly after she remembered
seeing him walk out of the tent on his own. She remembers that moment specifically because as soon as the
guard passed her, the first cardiac arrest patient who she identified as Brianna Rodriguez was brought in.
She stated that she was astonished that this wall all happening in a very short amount of time, maybe within 20
minutes of the concert starting. She stated that Brianna was brought back and everyone was working on her and
doing CPR. She went over to help, but at that time she turned and saw the 9 year old (Ezra) being brought into
the tent. She stated that the Doctor and nurses immediately began working on him and saying with surprise, "it's a
kid!" She recalled the thought that came to her mind asking what was a kid doing at that concert?
After Ezra came in, a number of people where coming into the tent telling her that they had been trampled or they
could not breathe. She stated they all seemed to come in at once, and again she thought to herself, "What the
heck is going on?" At that time she returned to her section and started to treat those she could take care of quickly
and work her way through all of them. She recalled many of them telling her that they had been trampled in the
crowd. While she was going through those patients, another cardiac arrest patient entered the tent. She stated
that all cardiac arrest patients were taken to the back of the tent to the "rooms" they had set up. She noted that
everything was happening so quickly and at some point she noted that her area had cleared out and practically all
of the patients she had there had left. She thought that maybe they left out of fear after seeing all of the cardiac
arrest patients being brought in, she was not sure of the reason.
She stated that she ended up providing CPR to the 22 year old A&M student, later identified as Bharti. Another
person from Paradocs was doing CPR on Bharti initially but she tapped her on the shoulder to let her know that
she would take over when she got tired. During that time, she went looking for an IV bag and brought it over to
them. She stated while she was doing CPR, they checked for a pulse and found one. They immediately got her
back on the stretcher and moved her to the transport unit. She stated as soon as Bharti left, she looked up and
saw another cardiac arrest patient being brought in.
She believed that the next cardiac arrest patient was Franco Petino by looking at his face. She began working on
him and doing CPR. The whole time she kept thinking to herself, "What is going on?" She described that she was
behind a curtain doing CPR and there was a moment when Leo walked in, pulling the curtain back, and she could
see around the room that almost everyone was doing CPR on a cardiac arrest patient. She could not believe it
and to her it all seemed like a bad dream.
She stated that a doctor came in and intubated the patient she was working on. She stated it was not the same
female doctor from before, it was a Hispanic Male wearing black scrubs. She could not remember his name. The
doctor told her that he needed suction to clear the blood from Petino's mouth. She recalled having difficulty
opening Petino's mouth, like it was locked shut. Eventually, the doctor got it open but the suction was not working.
She stated that she yelled at someone in the room to bring them suction that worked which eventually someone
did. Next, while she was still doing CPR, the doctor in the black scrubs got up and left. This was shocking to her
and she did not know what else to do other than to continue giving CPR.
She described the whole scenario as a shit-show. But she was trained to continue and so she did. Another doctor
came over to her and she described him as shorter and wearing camouflage. She stated that the doctor was able
to intubate Petino just before they load him up to be transported. She stated that he was loaded into an HFD
ambulance. She stated that was the last patient that she worked on.
When she returned to the tent, she stated that she was prepared to work on another patient. She noted that all of
the other patients were already being worked on and most if not all of them were getting loaded up to be
transported. She stated that around that time, a person who appeared to be intoxicated walks into the tent and
collapsed. She proceeded to rub his sternum, preparing to do CPR until he eventually awoke and was later clear

to leave the tent.
She stated that in between working on all of the cardiac arrest patients, one of the nurses told her to go look for
additional medications for patient treatment because they had run out. She was surprised by this and wondered
how they not had enough supplies. She proceeded to search all of the drawers in the tent and could not find some
of the things which they needed like narcan and epinephrine.
She recalled a moment in time when she was directed to empty all remaining patients that had gathered in her
original assigned area and ask them to get out of the tent unless they were in need of urgent medical care. She
remembered seeing a female whose face was severely damaged, as if her face had been stomped in.
Regardless, she had to send her away along with everyone else. There were Paradocs employees who were not
doing CPR who attended to the other patients who were outside of the tent.
She stated that after all of the cardiac arrest patients had been transported, she spent the rest of the evening
helping out others in and outside of the tent. At that time she received a call from Monty asking her how many
people were still at the medical tent. She told him about 6 or 7 but she was not sure if they needed transport.
I asked her to go through to the best of her knowledge the time and order that the patients she witnessed were
received. The following is her rough estimate:
1st - Security Guard (possible injection), (White/Male with Tattoos)
2nd - Brianna Rodriguez (possibly 9:15 PM), (There was a guy that was with her who was hysterical)
3rd - Ezra Blount (possibly 9:17 PM)
4th - Bharti Shahani (unknown time, personally worked on her)
5th - Franco Petino (unknown time, personally worked on him)
She stated that she saw many of the other victims, but she could not identify them based on the pictures later
shown in the media because their faces were so blue/purple. She believed that most of them if not all were
already dead when they were in the medical tent. She stated that many of the victims were brought into the tent
by concert-goers and not Paradocs.
The Aftermath
She stated that she participated in a group debriefing with Paradocs. The person speaking went on to
congratulate them for saving two lives, telling them that they should be proud of themselves, and that they were
clear to go home at that point. Then she stated that someone brought out a birthday cake, because apparently it
was Dr. Donica's birthday. She thought that this activity was bizarre given all that had just happened. She stated
she was originally in front of the group but slowly started making her way to the back until she could exit the tent.
She stated that she felt that those who participated in that were "tone deaf" and "fucked up", and that whole
scenario made her feel sick to her stomach. She was very upset with them.
She stated that it was also mentioned during the debriefing that the show was 40 minutes which surprised her
because she felt like she had been working on patients for 3 hours. She was also told that Travis did his whole set
without stopping. She stated that she did not hear at any point while she was in the medical tent anyone
mentioning anything about stopping the show. She stated there was point that she could not even tell that the
show was still going on because she had tuned it out. She thought that the show would have been stopped given
the circumstances because in her mind it was common sense.
She stated that she was grateful for the training that she had received because that was what got her through the
whole experience. She stated that Paradocs was much disorganized and there were not talks or preparations
made prior to the chaos that ensued.
She stated that she underwent additional debriefings with HCEC and speaking with counselors. She stated that
she has a lot of difficulty emotionally since this event. She stated that she has received correspondence from
Paradocs telling her not to speak to the media as well as sharing resources for emotional councilors.
End of Interview
Additional interivews related to medical personnel will be included in later supplements. All of the recordings for
the above interivews will be kept with the case file.

1.) Introduction:
I have submitted Supplements #32, #42 and #45 thus far for this case. This Supplement covers more of my work
on the case and documenting the steps we have taken for the case. Refer to M. Barrow's Supplement regarding
interactions with: Live Nation Entertainment, Unified Command and Paradocs.
2.) Continuing Subpoenas:
I mentioned the beginning of serving subpoenas in Supplement #42 which documented the dates November 6,
2021 to November 23, 2021. This section of the supplement will contain subpoenas from November 23, 2021 to
the present day; November 25, 2021.
3,) Investigative Interactions with Entities Involved:
A.) Interactions with ASM Global
On November 12, 2021, Squad 1 detectives and I went to Astroworld to review the scene again. While there, M.
Brady spoke to two gentleman and received business cards from them. On November 16, 2021, I reached out to
those two gentleman from the business cards. It turned out that they were lawyers for ASM Global who is the
company that operates NRG Park. Their names are Jeff Webb and Brett Young. Attorney Brett Young later called
me in the evening and asked what information was I looking for. He stated ASM Global would cooperate with the
investigation and would provide assistance.
He later provided the Astroworld 2021 EOP PDF that had not been redacted (a new source had provided a
redacted Astroworld 2021 EOP). On November 17, 2021, I submitted a GJS to Brett Young for ASM Global. Brett
Young provided HCSCC Event Approval Letter_Redacted PDF and 2021 Astroworld License Agreement PDF. On
November 24, 2021, Brett Young provided Facilities Management Agree (2015 - executed)_Redacted PDF
document. He later provided CSC 2017 Service Agreement (FE) (005)_Redacted PDF, CSC Extension 3.19.2020
(fe) PDF, CSC Extension 2021-22 (fe) PDF, CSC-1st Addendum to SA (Apex) PDF. All have been added to the
case file. On December 9, 2021, Brett Young provided an anonymous PDF (Refer to Supplement #45 for the
interview with the anonymous individual). The anonymous PDF has been attached to the case file.
B.) Interactions with Live Nation Entertainment
I e-mailed a group of people that I located in the EOP. Live Nation attorneys became upset when we sent out a
group of massive e-mails we had gotten from the EOP since we did not check with them to see who they were
representing. They asked that we send names to them first to see if they are representing them and if not, they
would try to get us in contact with the attorneys were representing those individuals.
On November 17, 20221, I sent a list of names to ask if Live Nation was representing them. The names are:
Brent Silbertstein
Emily Ockenden
Sascha Stone
Lucas Conder
Brad Wavra
Joe Stallone
Seyth Boardman

Dillon Lawson
Chris Laney
Attorney Michael Bosworth said he would check out of that list who they are representing.
From here on out, M. Barrow dealt with Live Nation Entertainment attorneys.
C.) Interactions with Seyth Boardman
Seyth Boardman initially communicated with HPD. He spoke with HPD Commander T. Harden and provided Alex
Pollock's contact for Paradocs. Squad one called Seyth in the first couple of days to get a
statement from Seyth. Seyth Boardman stated he had a funeral that day and had to go to the airport to fly out. We
told him he was very important to the investigation and we need to speak with him. We did not hear from Seyth
again. He did not respond to phone calls. We later heard from an unknown source that Seyth told T. Hardin the
Live Nation Attorneys told him not to speak with police because we wanted to charge him. Live Nation Attorneys
Michael Bosworth and Brian Kowalski would later tell us Seyth Boardman has gotten his own personal counsel.
On November 29, 2021, M. Barrow asked Live Nation Attorneys to present the contact information for Seyth
Boardman as we have not heard from him and it was important to get his statement.
M. Barrow received contact from Seyth's lawyer on/about November 30, 2021. On December 8, 2021 M. Barrow
reached out to Andrew Lourie to ask what we need to do in order to speak with Seyth Boardman. On December 9,
2021, Andrew Lourie stated we could speak with them that day. On December 9, 2021 at approximately 1400
hours, Attorney Syndey Johnson, Attorney Andrew Lourie, M. Barrow and I got on a conference call to discuss
Seyth Boardman.
In the call, his attorneys requested immunity to be provided to Seyth. We told them that might be premature due to
the early investigation and we do not know exactly what his role was. They asked us to provide a questionnaire
that they could review with Seyth. I told him that would not work at this time in the investigation and that it was
more important to speak with him. We determined we would not be able to proceed with Seyth Boardman at this
time for the investigation as we wanted a thorough investigation by interviewing Seyth and his attorneys wanted to
protect him from any liability or potential charges. We decided we would go through A.D.A. M. Levine going
forward. On December 10, 2021, Seyth's attorneys reached out to Levine. I spoke with A.D.A. M. Levine and we
decided we would wait to interview Seyth when there is more information / evidence known about this case. This
was especially the case before granting immunity and/or bringing Seyth Boardman before a Grand Jury.
D.) Interactions with Emily Ockenden
On November 17, 2021 I reached out to Emily Ockenden. The same day, I was contacted by Attorney Will Moye
who stated he is representing Emily Ockenden. I spoke to Mr. Moye shortly after over the phone. He discussed
Emily Ockenden is available, wants to cooperate but he does not know her exact location. He said he had to get
caught up to speed on the case and would be in touch. I reached out January 14, 2022 to Attorney Will Moye after
not hearing from him or Emily Ockenden.
E.) Interactions with Brent Silberstein
On November 17, 2021 I reached out to Brent Silberstein. I did not receive a response so I submitted a follow up
e-mail on November 29, 2021. On November 30, 2021, I was contacted by Attorney Christopher J. Downey. He
stated he would be representing Mr. Silberstein. Mr. Downey stated he is getting caught up to speed on the case
and a trial coming up for a different matter. After not hearing from Brent Silbertstein or his attorney, I reached out
January 14, 2022 as a follow up.
F.) Drake Interactions
We learned of Drake's lawyer, Larry Stein from Travis Scott's team. On November 15, 2021, we reached out to
Mr. Stein. Mr. Stein brought in his partner, Ashley Yeargan who was our main correspondence going forward to
schedule with Drake. Due to our busy schedules and the holidays, the Zoom interview was delayed on multiple
occasions. Our interview with Drake and his manager Future took place on November 30, 2021 via Zoom hosted

by Ashley Yeargan. After the meeting, I requested a copy of the Zoom interview. On January 7, 2022, I followed
up with Ashley Yeargan asking for a copy. On January 10, 2022, Ashley Yeargan provided a copy via e-mail for
the Zoom Interview. I was able to access the copy and downloaded. The download will be attached to the case
file. A future Supplement that I document will provide a synopsis of the interview.
G.) Interactions with Harris County Medical Corp
I spoke with Monty Northern on the early morning of November 6, 2021. We interviewed him at Harris County
Medical Corp on November 16, 2021. When we met with Monty Northern, we provided Grand Jury Subpoenas for
Harris County Medical Corp documents. On December 7, 2021, M. Barrow received subpoenaed records from
Harris County Medical Corp via certified mail. On December 20, 2021, I received the RCVQ Call Log from Monty
Northern.
EMT Suraya Asif who works for Harris County Medical Corp worked under Paradocs for the event reached out to
me on December 3, 2021. Ms. Asif was nervous and had concerns to meet with us. After sometime going back
and forth in communications, Suraya Asif agreed to provide a voluntary statement at 1200 Travis on December 9,
2021.
On December 8, 2021, I reached out to Cameron Decker of Harris County Medical Corp. I had learned about him
from Monty Northern and Lars Thestrop. We interviewed Cameron Decker on December 16, 2021. His interview is
documented in Supplement #45.
Through my interview with Mr. Northern, Mr. Decker, and Ms. Asif, I learned of two employees in particular.
Priscilla worked alongside Ms. Asif for Paradocs but is a Harris County Medical Corp employee. Alvaro Gonzalez
worked under Harris County Medical Corp as a dispatcher. I have attempted to speak with these individuals
through Mr. Northern and Mr. Decker. They told me their employees have struggled with the incident. I told them
that I would wait to get through the holidays and would try to reach out to them again. I told them I was not trying
to be inconsiderate of their struggle.
On January 8, 2022, I reached out to Monty Northern and Cameron Decker again. I asked to speak with the
employees about the incident. Harris County Medical Corps President and Director of EMS Jeremy Hyde reached
out to me stating he believes the information that I am seeking from his employees can be answered by Mr.
Northern or Mr. Decker. He stated he did not want to expose his employees to a "potentially threatening
environment". I told Mr. Hyde that I needed to get a personal experience account from the individuals as their
statement is pertinent to my investigation.
I realized that I did not need his permission and could go to the residences of these employees. I believed
continuing this healthy relationship with Harris County Medical Corp was important to not do that and to be
respectful to their company as they have been very accommodating to us in the past.
I let Mr. Hyde know that the statement is one-hundred percent voluntary. I offered victim's services to be with us
during the interview and that they interview could take place at their business. I told him I could provide a
questionnaire if the employees would rather fill one out. I did tell him that I cannot guarantee the employees will
not be summoned before a Grand Jury down the line should the questionnaire not suffice in the investigation.
On January 11, 2022, Mr. Hyde stated he believed they could work with a questionnaire for his employees. On
January 12, 2022, I submitted a questionnaire to Jeremy Hyde, Monty Northern and Cameron Decker. I have
included the Concert Questions with the case file and the Sworn Affidavit Template I provided.
H.) Interactions with the F.B.I.
The F.B.I.'s involvement has been limited in this investigation, at least for the beginning. I have been in contact
with F.B.I. Field Agent T. Seftick since early on once I read a news article that the Bureau had joined the
investigation. Agent T. Seftick verified with his chain of command that their involvement brought up in the media
was false. As the investigation continued, we would gather information that appeared to have criminal elements.
This case appeared to flip-flop between criminal and civil almost daily. On November 23, 2021, Agent T. Seftick
and his boss, Agent T. White came to 1200 Travis to the HPD Homicide Division to review what we had
discovered so far. They determined the case had little to no F.B.I. Jurisdiction at the time based on what we had.
They stated they would try to assist in whatever ways they can.

Narrative
Over the next couple of weeks, I would continue to go back and forth with the F.B.I. My command staff wished for
them to assist in our investigation while the F.B.I. Field Office continued to hold the position that they would not
get involved for various reasons.
On December 20, 2021 per Commander K. Deese, I was to have a meeting with C. Weaver of F.B.I. Operations
and Training (via phone call). I had the meeting with Squad 1, Commander K. Deese, and was introduced to C.
Weaver and his team. We began to discuss their role in the investigation and how they could assist. C. Weaver
stated the F.B.I. would assist by providing access to their video technology and his team would remain with us to
assist every step of the way. He stated we would act as the directors of how we compile the data and construct an
informational video that documents the event to assist our case file. He stated they would be there merely to help
us learn their system and show us how to use the software tools.
On December 21, 2021, I met with C. Weaver and his team (via phone call). We began constructing a plan for this
case. I also learned the team could upload a website that allows citizens to transfer videos to this software should
we want it. I told him and his team that it is possible it would help our investigation. I was told I would need to get
authorization / certifications from law enforcement databases to continue working with the F.B.I. team (M. Barrow
and I have received that authorization).
Agent T. Seftick would continue to be the liaison between HPD and the F.B.I. He generated F.B.I. case number
343A-HO-3539361.
C. Weaver asked for us to send copies of our case footage for them to upload into the system. It was determined
that this would be quicker than trying to upload the footage remotely. On December 21, 2021, M. Brady and I
asked HPD Homicide Officer J. Perry if we could have two ten terabytes harddrives to transfer the data over. On
December 29, 2021, I spoke with Officer J. Perry who stated the Homicide budget for this equipment has to be
approved. I spoke with HPD E.A.C. J. Jones who authorized us to get the additional storage for the case. I
provided J. Perry with this information who then ordered three ten terabytes harddrives.
On January 5, 2022, J. Perry told me the three harddrives had come in. I provided them to HPD Homicide Officer
H. Nguyen who works with our video. He began transferring the data over. We plan to send one harrdrive to the
F.B.I., one for us to continue to use, and one to be tagged into the property room for safe keeping. We also plan
on tagging all of the original media storage for this case into the HPD Property Room. On January 7, 2022, I
learned from H. Nguyen that the first harddrive has been completed and he is working on the second one. I
checked with H. Nguyen on January 11, 2022 and he stated he needed another day to transfer the data to the
second harddrive.
On January 13, 2022, I received the harddrive going to the F.B.I. from H. Nguyen of HPD Homicide. H. Nguyen
created a label on it for "Astroworld FBI". The harddrive was in my care and custody from the moment I received it
from H. Nguyen until I handed it over to Rieana at FedEx Office located at 801 Louisiana St, Houston, Texas
77002 with FedEx Ground tracking number: to arrive on January 18, 2022. A copy of the receipt
will be kept with the case file. I let C. Weaver, R. King and T. Seftick know by providing the tracking number. I
provided the original receipt to J. Perry of HPD Homicide. I took pictures of the harddrive/box/cords provided in
the original box it came in. I taped the box and initialed with the date on the tape line. The pictures will be attached
to the case file. The harddrive contains all of the surveillance footage provided (minus the Unified Command
Footage we received yesterday (01/12/22) as that is just an extended version of what is already on the harddrive).
The harddrive being provided is not the original and is a copy only.
On January 14, 2022, Commander K. Deese asked me if the site was ready for the F.B.I. to release the link. I
contacted Agent T. Seftick and K. Doonan. I was later contacted by R. King who stated the site was ready. I left
Commander K. Deese know. PIO K. Smith Tweeted a statement from HPD out to the public which has been
attached to the case file. On January 20, 2022, M. Barrow and I had a meeting with the FBI to be trained on the
software we would be using. On January 21, 2022, the training continued and completed for the initial software. I
went through all of the tips we had received on the tipline.
I.) Interactions with the Department of Public Safety (D.P.S.)
On November 18, 2021, we met with Agent K. Turner of DPS and other agents of DPS at 1200 Travis in the HPD

Homicide Division. On November 19, 2021, I provided K. Turner with the Astroworld EOP that was provided by
ASM Global and questions we would like for DPS to ask the security companies and their employees. I also
provided an e-mail that I received from CSC. On December 13, 2021, I submitted documentation provided by Live
Nation Entertainment to Agent K. Turner as it pertained to the DPS investigation. All other communication with
DPS up to January 13, 2022 has been done through HPD Commander K. Deese.
J.) Interactions with SIU Division and Lieutenant L. Menendez
Throughout this investigation, I have worked closely with Lt. L. Menendez. Over time, he would consistently
update me with statistics, pertinent statements to the investigation, case status updates, and will provide SIU case
file to add to Master Case file 149072421. Lt. L. Menendez also attended many meetings with us for our weekly
morning briefings. Another SIU Officer I dealt with was O. Flores. He provided me information on Sienna McCarty
and also provided me with HFD written statements. SIU Division dealt with HPD Officers, HFD, the HEC, and
C.O.P.'s.
4.) Live Nation Entertainment Policy Document:
I began reading the documentation provided by Live Nation Entertainment to Detective M. Barrow. This document
is approximately 219 pages long. The pages are from LNAW_HPD_0000065 to LNAW_HPD_0000284. From my
understanding, it is a guideline provided by Live Nation Entertainment to the current production team executing an
event.
For reference to the documentation I am referring to, the first page states:
Live Nation Entertainment
Policy Name: After Action Review
Date First Issued: 17 MAY 2019 POLICY NO.: S-012
Date Last Reviewed: 1 April 2021 Department: Security
Date of Next Review: 1 April 2022 Responsible Official: Chief Security Officer
LNAW_HPD_0000065
[End of Page]
The document goes over policies Live Nation Entertainment (LNE) believes should be implemented in order to
have a safe/successful event. It discusses plans, roles, templates and guidelines to follow. At this time, it is
unclear for me to determine which parts of this document was practiced at the event.
Towards the end of the document starting at page "LNAW_HPD_0000225", there is a document stated
"Astroworld - Festival Security Assessment - North America Festivals - 2021"
"LNAW_HPD_0000274" is a break-down of Company Name, Job Service, and Department, the contact for
the Company, E-mail, phone number, and Department Head or Contact."
5.) Relevant Case Contacts:
By reviewing LNAW_HPD_0000274, I thought it would be best to try to contact some of these individuals in case
they knew or saw something that could help with the investigation. Some of these companies we have already
spoken with. This document provided by Live Nation Entertainment has provided many more companies that may
have information pertaining to the investigation.
On the contact portion of the document, AJ Melino and Associates Inc and Valle Security is being handled by
DPS.
Clair Global Corporation has retained counsel and has reached out to them.
Paradocs has been in contact with and has retained legal counsel.

Orlando Briones called me at somepoint in the late afternoon on January 6, 2022 while I was at home.
Orlando Briones introduced himself and stated he is responding from the e-mail. He stated he worked under his
name and was contracted by Astroworld. He stated he did the wire camera that hangs in the air from the two
towers in the back. He stated it goes back and forth in front of house. I asked if he meant the ones used by Unified
Command. He stated no. He stated he was an outside vendor that was patched into the same broadcast they
were doing. He stated he was hired directly by Live Nation for the project. He stated his camera was on during the
concert that was on a cable that moved left to right approximately eighty feet over the crowd.
I asked if they were transfixed on Travis Scott. He stated that is correct. I asked where was he at when the concert
occurred. He stated they were behind the Jenners. I asked if he meant stage-left back right and he stated that is
correct. I asked if he saw anything out of the ordinary. He stated out of the ordinary, no. He stated before the
concert started, there appeared to be people "tweaking out". He stated during the show, he assumed; they were
carrying people out and putting them on the ground around their area. He stated some people were getting up
after that. He stated he assumed at the time that it was people "tweaking out" or drugged up. He stated because
that is what they were seeing before the concert. I asked what about during the concert.
Mr. Briones stated during the concert approximately twenty-five minutes in, he saw people behind carried out near
the towers. He stated he was focused on the rig. He stated he saw some of the kids climbing the towers. He
stated that made them pull back their cameras and hold them. He stated that caused them to watch their cameras
for a while for any safety issues. He stated that allowed him to look around to see what was happening. He stated
he never moved from his position. I asked Mr. Briones if he ever heard anyone say stop the show.
Orlando Briones stated he never heard anyone say to stop the show. He stated the only thing he heard was when
he was on the coms with unified, he heard camera 14 go down because a lens was out. He stated he heard the
movie bird or techno crane that goes over people at approximately twenty-five feet from him, he heard them
screaming that they were getting surrounded and the movie bird went down. He stated movie bird is what they call
it in the industry. He stated his assumption was people were getting attacked during the concert. He stated he
was looking around.
He stated he heard a lot of people say things were happening like the lens got dismounted on the camera, people
climbing the tower, the movie bird was down. He stated a little bit later, he heard people saying they are doing
CPR on people next to them. He stated at one point, medical was doing CPR on someone next to them. He stated
he screamed to the director because they were asking what was going on with their camera after he had stopped
moving it for a while. He stated he told the director not to call on them because they are pulling bodies out and
they are trying to resuscitate people. He stated every time he would say that, he would hear the director say there
was a medical emergency and to send people up.
Mr. Briones stated that is really all that happened. He stated the last thing that made him panic occurred at the
end of the show. He stated he heard at the end, they saw over the coms for everyone to "shelter in place". He
stated he did not know what that meant. He stated they said "last song". He stated the Jenners left their section.
He stated then they said to "shelter in place, stay safe". He stated they then cut coms on everyone. He stated he
did not know what was going on. I asked if he shared coms with Travis Scott and he stated no. He stated it was
with Apple. He stated whoever was working the Unified Production. He stated or whoever it was. He stated he
never heard of Unified until I told him that. He stated he did not deal with Unified Command at all. He stated only
dealt with Apple production.
He asked if they recorded the coms and I stated not that I know of. I told him what he is describing is similar to
what other people are saying. I asked if he knew the director he was talking to. He stated he met him before they
started. He stated he was added at the end. He stated he does not know his name. He stated his job was to
operate the wire cam. He stated he did the last Astroworld. He stated they tried as hard as they could to keep that
wire cam running. He stated he was added at the last minute to the Apple name. He stated he did work the
previous Astroworld.

asked if we have the footage from the wire cam. I told him I do not think so. He stated he provided everything to
Live Nation so they should have it. I told him we might have it and have just not reviewed it. He stated his shot
was from the edge of the Jenners all the way to the stage. He stated it is probably the better footage that would
give a good timeline. He stated he ran the entire show.
He stated it is not procedure to record the coms. He stated sometime it does it. I asked if the camera stops, that
would people were scaling it. He stated that is correct. He stated it stopped multiple times. He stated he knows
within the first thirty-minutes things were happening. He stated he knows the last ten minutes, they rushed out the
Jenners and they tried to clean up whatever they could. He stated all of the problems started twenty-five to thirty
minutes in. He stated at the end, they said "everyone shelter in place and be safe".
I asked if he saw what was going on with the center platform camera. He stated they would have been next to the
movie bird. He stated they would have been stage left to the movie bird. He stated the coms were noise
suppression. He stated you would not be able to hear anything but the coms. I asked if he knew either of the guys
on the platform. He stated he does not know them. He stated it seems to him that they were all out of towers. He
stated he is based in Houston. He stated he is a cinematographer and gets hired in town.
Mr. Briones provided his contact information and work address. I thanked him for his time and told him why I had
to contact him for a statement. He asked if there is a possibility of a subpoena coming towards him. I told him it is
possible. I explained the case is being investigated as criminal but has civil aspects to it. I told him he can reach
out to me if he is concerned of anything. I told him to keep my name and his case number for his records. He

anything. He stated in a weird way, he wished he did see something so he could have acted. He stated where
they were in front of house, it looked like a normal show which they have done many of them.
I asked how long has he worked for Travis Scott. He stated for approximately two and a half year. He stated he
worked the previous Astroworld. I asked when he realized something had happened. Ben Dalgleish stated when
the concert ended, it felt odd. He stated people were talking about someone might have died. It stated it felt like a
"normal festival kind of death". He stated he has worked a lot of festivals and there is always one person that has
an overdose. He stated it is obviously tragic but it happens. He stated there was no indication how serious the
death was. He stated it was not until hours later until near the press conference when he realized it how bad it
was.
I asked Mr. Dalgleish if he shared any radio communications. He asked if I meant during in the show in which I
said yes. He stated he did. He stated they had an internal Clair Comms setup between their department. He
stated there was no discussing about crowd control on the coms or of that nature. He stated it was about
movement, which songs next, and fireworks. I asked who was he sharing coms with. He stated everyone in front
of house. He stated people on the stage. He stated the production manager. He stated the coms that they have,
they have no way of talking to Travis on those coms. He stated that is a different setup to talk to coms. I clarified

I stated the only thing he heard on the coms was the production of the show and he stated yes. He stated the
setlist got cut short. He stated he is not sure if I was aware of that. He stated the show itself was cut short as there
were supposed to be more songs. He stated that occurred at the last Astroworld as well. He stated usually it is
due to curfew. He stated the show ending early was not surprising to him. I told him that we learned in our
investigation that he had gotten trough his entire setlist. He stated there were more songs. He stated there songs
that were cut.
I asked if he remembered when he noticed the songs were cut or that the show was going in a faster direction. He
stated when Drake came out. I asked how did the show go faster. He stated he thinks they did the Drake section
and then wrapped it up. He stated it was the feeling that the show was too crazy or whatever it was. I told him the
curfew was until 10:30. He stated yeah, so obviously the crowd was too crazy. I asked who told him that and he
stated no one told them.
Ben Dalgleish stated Drake came out and it was a Drake song. I stated so Drake came out then left and it was it.
He stated yeah. He stated they were bummed out because they had a lot of cool things planned. I thanked Ben
Dalgleish for his time and asked if he has anything else to provide. He stated does know where all the talk came
from to make Drake to go on early. He stated it was not from the production side. He stated these things are very
fluid and he stated he does not know how that changed happened. He stated nothing comes to mind for additional
information. He stated it was surreal. He stated he remembered after the show that people had died. He stated
there were police officers standing there as though nothing had happened after the show. He stated it was pretty
weird. He stated he feels for us and for the families. I thanked Mr. Dalgleish for his time and ended the phone call.

He stated the shoot happened off site. He stated he was personally on site. I asked where was he located in the
venue and he stated he was in one of the trailers next to the production trailer. He stated it was all back-stage. He
stated he was parked at the front of house for the show. I asked if he was watching the concert. He stated he was
watching it. He stated he could see the entire stage. He stated he was not operating anything. I asked if he saw
anything go wrong or people ask for help. He stated he did. He stated at one point towards the end of the show,
he saw a couple people on the barrier asking for help as they were getting heavily pushed in front of house. He
stated he cannot remember at what point of the show that was but it was within the last twenty or so minutes. I
asked if he had any radio communications and he stated no.
Mr. Cummer stated if you are on the stage looking out towards the crowd, he was on the left side. I asked if he
saw anyone unconscious receiving CPR. He stated yes. He stated towards the end of the show there was medical
staff helping a person that appeared unconscious. I asked if he asked anyone to stop the show or if anyone told
him to stop the show. He stated he did not have the radio so he was not a part of any of the internal
conversations. He stated no one from the crowd told him to stop the show. he stated he did not know about the
deaths until after the concert. I asked if the show ended on time. He stated the show was cut short but not by a lot.
He stated it might have been cut towards the middle. He stated the show was cut shorter than it was supposed to
be. I said if the show was cut in the center, then how was the show pushed forward. He stated is not sure. He
stated he thinks some of the songs might have been played shorter and the setlist was played through the way. I
asked if he has worked for Travis Scott before. He stated not at Astroworld but he worked with him for visual
content since July. I asked if he has any questions.
Mr. Cummer stated he does not have any questions. He stated he has some phone videos and film photos from
the show. He stated he could provide those if we want them. I told him that I would like that content for the case.
He stated it will take him some time but he will get the content over to us. I asked if he knows who the cameraman
that was on the platform where the people got onto it to stop the show. He stated I need to speak with the video
director. He stated his name is Stuart Merser. I checked my information and did not see his name on the list. Mr.

David Minton introduced me to John Wagner. I told him why I am reaching out to him. Mr. Wagner stated he was
contracted by Scoremore. He stated they wanted him to submit a bid/proposal. He stated he was working with
Brent Silbertstein. He stated he took the information that was given to them. He stated he put together a quote for
the event. He stated he was then contracted for the event. He stated he worked as a project manager and a lead
on site for guardian. He stated he was there for the install and the event. I asked what equipment. He stated the
stage-crowd control barricades. He stated they are aluminum that go in front of the stage and in front of the
control speakers. I asked if he is describing the ones that go through the crowds and Mr. Wagner confirmed.
I asked if the setup of the barriers was ever changed in any way. He stated it was very similar as to what was
submitted to them in the drawings. I asked what the changes if any were made. He stated one of the areas had to
be altered since there was a tree in the way. He stated they went towards production. He stated besides that,
everything was set as to the site maps that were provided. I asked if he has set up similar shows with this set up
before. He stated yes, absolutely. He stated it seemed very similar to a lot of venues they set up in the past. He
stated he did not see any issues.

Narrative
I asked if he heard of one of the barricades that failed early on in the show. He stated there was a barrier that was
compromised. He stated there was not a breach of the crowd or anything of that nature. He stated there was one
bit that did not hold up to the crowd pressure. I asked if anyone told him how it failed and if he was there for that.
He stated he was approximately five feet away from the barrier when the incident occurred. I asked if he could
describe what happened. He stated in that area, there was a lot of pushing back and forth. He stated there was a
lot of pressure. Mr. Wagner it was like a wave as though people were on a roller-coaster. He stated you could
hear yelling and screaming far away. He stated it was a wave of people.
Mr. Wagner went on to say he heard the aluminum barrier "creak" a little bit. He stated he saw right where it was
starting to fail. He stated he went to the area. He stated he checked to make sure it was safe. I asked what they
did to fix it. He stated they used straps to help marry it together. He stated they used straps to strap the pieces
together. I asked if he worked with Seth Boardman for that and if he knew who that is. He stated he knows Seth
Boardman is the security director. I asked if he saw anyone get hurt or anyone ask for help. I asked about CPR.
He stated yes. He stated he saw other people ask for help. I asked about what time. He stated approximately a
half-hour before the event started. I told him around 08:30 PM. He stated correct between 08:30 PM - 08:45 PM.
I asked Mr. Wagner if it is his role or responsibility to shut down the show. He stated no. I asked if he told anyone
what had happened. He stated he radioed on the producer's channel to Brent Silberstein. He stated he told him
that there was an issue and that he needed them right away. He stated he told Brent Silberstein directly. I asked if
that was before the show or when the barricade failed. He stated around the 08:30 PM - 08:45 PM mark. David
Minton interjected and asked for clarification. He stated he wants to make sure he understands. He asked if the
barrier failed or did not fail. Mr. Wagner clarified and stated the barrier did not fail. He stated there was never a
breach of the crowd getting over the barricade.
John Wagner stated the barricade did not break in a way to be unsafe to the patrons. I asked if "shifted" would be
a better term than to use "failed". He stated there were no barricades failures from their company for the site. He
stated he has heard other barriers on the perimeter might have failed because barriers and fences are often used
interchangeably. He stated the barriers from his company were used at the concert venue and there were not any
failures with those.
I put the situation that I was talking about into context. I stated the barrier that I was referring to was a barrier that
was reported by HFD where HPD responded along with Seyth Boardman. I told him the same barrier was
reported to have been failing but was secured with straps. I said then I have learned once the barrier was secured
with the straps, it was determined the show could continue. I asked Mr. Wagner if we were talking about the same
barrier and he said the barrier he was talking about they put straps on. He stated he believes we were talking
about the same barrier. I asked where the barrier in question was. He stated if you are on the stage looking
towards the crowd, the first set of people on the right hand side, it would be that area called the thrust which is
where the staging goes out into the crowd.
I asked Mr. Wagner if he meant into the VIP section, he said the VIP section was on the other side. I asked if he
was talking about the open barrier that I saw out there when we went out to the scene a few days after. Mr.
Wagner stated he is not sure what I was talking about. He stated there were gates there that would not have
failed. I asked if I could send a photo of the diagram if he could circle or show what barrier we are talking about.
He stated he could do that.
I shifted the conversation and asked what happened after shifting barrier. I asked if he heard people ask for help.
He stated yes. He stated from the moment before their barricade failed through the entire event, there were
people asking for help. He stated from his location where the barricade was shifting that was his area. He stated
he could see people falling out. I asked if he told Mr. Silberstein about that. Mr. Wagner stated he did not mention
the people falling out to Mr. Silberstein because there was plenty of security personnel in the area. He stated that
is not what they typically take care. He stated he did see some EMS personnel throughout the entire area.
I asked Mr. Wagner what happened when the show ended. I asked if he saw anyone receiving CPR. He stated he
did not. I asked who he shared radio coms with. He stated Guardian had their own channel to communicate
amongst themselves. He stated he would switch to the producer's channel to get to Brent Silberstein. He stated
the only thing he ever notified Mr. Silberstein was about the barrier shifting. I told him if I understand correctly that

Narrative
his job and focus was to maintain the barriers. Mr. Wagner stated that is correct. I stated he did what he needed to
do by providing a notification to the producer and that there was no further issue because the barrier was not
compromised. Mr. Wagner stated that is a fair statement. I asked if he could mark a picture for us. I told him that I
have not learned where the barrier had issues yet so I would like to find out where the barricade in question is at.
David Minton stated he wanted to clarify that there were people crowd surfing over the barriers at the venue but
not due to failed integrity of the barriers themselves. Mr. Wagner stated that is correct. He stated people were
being pulled out or crowd surfing.
David Minton later e-mailed the following:
"Mr. Minton
Attached to this e-mail is a copy the aerial view of the Travis Scott Astroworld concert venue that Det. Caten sent
to you yesterday. I have marked with a red X the location of the segment of the barrier I described in my interview
with him. For clarity's sake, the barrier is like a long snake made up of individual aluminum segments that are one
meter wide and one meter tall. My team did a final safety check of the entire barrier roughly an hour before the
concert was set to begin and found no issues. Shortly before the concert began a massive crowed surged to the
stage barrier. Within twenty minutes or so and prior to the concert starting, from my position on the barrier, the red
X, I observed one of the segments to be separated from the segment next to it by several centemeters. I
immediately radioed my crew to assist me in using several two inch endless straps to reinforce the connection
between the two segments forming just a tiny fraction of the overall length of the barrier. It would not be accurate
to describe the barrier as faulty but rather one segment needing reinforcement of its attachment to another
segment to insure the integrity of the entire barrier. The barrier itself did not fail and no breach of the barrier was
accomplished by concert attendees by going thru the barrier. Those individual that got into the pit between the
barrier and the stage were tossed over, climbed over, or were pulled over the barrier. Insofar as me "hearing"
people asking for help and their location, I would want to make it clear that shortly before the concert started and
during the concert, the noise level of the crowd and the music combined was probably over 100 decibels. The
approximate noise level of a jet engine. I would not have been able to "hear" a cry for help from anyone, including
someone screaming right next to me. I was able to see people in front of me, on the other side of the barrier
where I was stationed, that were acting in a way that displayed distress. Those people would have been those
standing as I would not have seen or heard people that had fallen due to the size and tightly packed nature of the
crowd.

"Detective Barrow,
I saw your voicemail and wanted to get back to you so you know that I'm not ignoring you. Of course I want to
help, but I don't know what information I can provide. I was an admin/office assistant and was basically in charge
of staff parking and running office errands. Our admin office was across the street from the festival site (on the
opposite side of the compound), and I didn't even know about the deaths until the next day.
I discussed this with my father. He is concerned about any civil ramifications from an interview with you. He claims
that the interview documents may be turned over to the multitude of class actions lawyers. This may result in my
being a defendant in a lawsuit, however frivolous that might be due to my non-involvement. I may also be called
as a witness in a civil trial(s), which would make me nervous, and I would rather avoid.
He has contacted his lawyer to get an opinion on whether there is any reason I shouldn't talk to you. His lawyer is
a corporate attorney so not qualified to offer an opinion, but is in the process of asking around.
If you can exclude an interview with me, will you please e-mail me and let me know before my dad's attorney
spends too much time on this?

transferring and making videos clip for this case.
One November 9, 2021, I was given a video clip from Sgt. and was asked to make a video that shows
where the complainant was in the crowd. I completed that task and backed up the footage to an external Hard

listed for people who called 911 during the concert. Not all concert attendees were reached early on but were
spoken with after. The purpose of speaking with the concert attendees was to gather the perspective of those who
were in crowd and to document what they were saw going on within the "pits" and other affected areas. Each
attendee had a unique experience and some offered their own opinions. Each of the following interviews was
done over the phone and was recorded. The recordings will be kept within the case file.
Cythia Rojas

Interviewed on: 11/9/2021
Cythia stated that she was on the left side of the stage if you were facing the stage. She described herself as
being in the middle at first but as the concert began she was pushed with the crowd towards the edge of the
barricade.
After she was pushed along, she came across a female who was down on the ground. She put her own phone on
the ground and attempted to provide CPR to the female. When she realized that she had to get out of there, she
reached down and picked up a phone (later to discover that it was someone else's phone and not hers). She
noted that there were a lot of cell phones on the ground.
She stated that she was crowd-surfed out of the area and found herself in what she believed to be the VIP area.
From there she began making her way out of the venue. She stated that she came to concert with a group of
friends but they had been separated in the flow of the crowd. She did not know who Brianna Rodriguez was prior
to this event.
I attempted to ask Cythia more questions but she became emotional and promptly ended the conversation.
End of Interview.
Angel Vasquez
Ph
Angel stated that he came from his home in Brooklyn New York to attend the concert. He stated that the whole
story about someone going around and jabbing people with needles was false and in his opinion impossible given
how packed the crowd was and based on his own observation.
He stated that he was to the right of the stage (clarified to the left if facing the stage). During his time there, he
stated that he saw two people go down. He believed that those two later received treatment. He believed that
those who were injured or dead was a result of being trampled by the crowd.
He stated that the venue did not appear to be prepared for the event and the chaos the took place.

everyone was pushing the whole time during the show. In between each song, she felt like the bass was booming
and it was really difficult to hear at all times during the show. She stated that she saw multiple people go down in
the crowd and by her estimation, 10-15 minutes went by before anyone could get to the people who were down.
She stated that she felt like the whole event was understaffed. She recalled when medical personnel arrived to
assist those who were down. She stated that she saw one of the medics injecting one of the larger victims which
she said produced a lot of blood. During this time, people were around her were screaming to stop the show. She
thought she heard Travis Scott say, "They telling me to stop, but you know what ya'll came for."
She stated that she became frustrated when she noticed that the other concert goers where not making it easy for

were constantly bumping into her and stepping on other people. In total, she believed that she saw nine people
passed out or deceased.

Christopher Gates
Age: 22

Christ stated he was there for the whole concert which he attended with friends. He stated that he began the
concert on the left side of the stage if facing the stage. He stated he was near some trees but as the concert
began he was pushed with the crowd flowing towards the stage and deeper into the crowd. He became separated
from his friends.
He believed he was close to a VIP area which was clear at the beginning of the concert but as the concert went
on, he saw people jumping over the barricade and filling up that area and security was not stopping them. He
stated that he never jumped over but remained within the crowd where everyone was passing out.
He stated that around the second or third song, he came across approximately five people who were passed out
on the ground. He stated the bodies began to be uncovered because there were people leaving that area and
going over the barricade, allowing some of the areas to clear up. He saw people providing CPR to those who were
on the ground. He stated they were not medics, just random people in the concert.
He described the bodies he saw. He stated they were lifeless, pale, and their lips were blue/purple. He believed
they were all dead, even at that early point in the concert. He offered his opinion as to what may have happened
to them. He stated it that it may have not been just the compression. He stated that many people were dehydrated
because there were only two free water distribution areas in the entire festival and they were always
accompanied by long lines.
He stated he remained in the area where the bodies were down for the rest of the show. He stated that he tried to
start chants in the crowd calling for medics and to stop the show. He stated the medics did not show up in the
area for about another fifteen or twenty minutes. He was also trying to hold people back because the crowd
around them was constantly moving, posing danger to those who were on the ground.
He stated that he did not perform CPR on any of those on the ground because he did not know how. He tried to
make pathways for the medics to get through the crowd to get to them. He stated that when the medics made it to
them, he observed that they were not very prepared for this situation. He recalled seeing one crying while doing
CPR. One of the medics seemed to know what he was doing.
Chris went on to describe the victims that he saw on the ground. He stated one of them had red cut-off shirt, he
saw the two big gentlemen, and he saw a kid with a blue button up shirt. He repeated that in that pit alone, there
were at least five people there.
He described the concert as a whole as absolute mayhem. He did not understand how no one else could hear
them chanting "stop the show", he felt like they were loud in spite of all the music and crowd noise. He stated that
he did not understand why the show continued or why police did not get on the radio or something and stop the
show. But he noted that he could not get Travis Scott or Drake's attention. He recalled seeing possible Apple
speakers or something like that near their area, so he thought that maybe he those could pick up the sound of
them chanting for the show to stop.
Chris stated that he was not upset with Travis Scott or Drake. He understands that they may have not realized
what was going on in the crowd. He stated that it was strange that Travis did not stop the show when he
acknowledged the ambulance in the crowd. He went on to say that he feared for the Officer who eventually
entered the crowd because they were getting pushed around to the point that he thought Officer may have had to
draw their weapons or use force. He did not understand why the show was not stopped, especially for the
emergency personnel who were trying to get into the crowd.

Brandon stated that he attended the concert with his brother Adonis. He stated that he received minor injuries, but
his brother had more injuries and had to go to hospital, at Ben Taub. He stated that he did not stay for the whole
event including the concert. He stated that he was primarily injured during the rushing of the gate at the beginning
of the day.
He stated that while he was waiting to get into the venue, he overheard the people he referred to as instigators
cussing out the police and the rumor was that the police had hit a female with a baton. Eventually, they pushed
the gates through and everyone came rushing in, toppling over gates and barricades.
He stated that his brother Adonis actually was present for the concert portion of the event. His brother went to the
hospital with back injuries and complaints of having passed out or lost consciousness during the concert.
His personal opinion about the event was that there was not enough personnel for the amount of people that were
there.

Seanna McCarti
Ph #
Seanna was a concert attendee that was located in the affected area to the left the stage. She was one of the
individuals who went viral on social media for climbing one of the camera risers attempting to notify a cameraman
and to stop the show. She is a Texas A&M student. Seanna was emotionally charged for this interview because a
lot of time has passed since the incident and since the time we were able to make contact with her. She voiced
her frustration with police for not taking her statement earlier and for sending her to a police station which she
found was pointless because she was not helped. I arranged for this interview with Seanna's mother due to the
fact that Seanna was not as easy to reach over phone. Seanna had returned to her parents' house on break from
school when we arranged a zoom call which featured Seanna and her family. The following is a summary of my
interview with Seanna:
I attempted to go through some introductions with Seanna but she wanted to go straight into the topic of the
concert. She began without context saying that she spoke to someone while at the concert asking this person if
they were aware of what was happening and that people were dying. She stated that this person acknowledged
that they knew about it and informed her that they were shutting it down. She stated she left the festival grounds
with her roommate and she noted that twenty minutes had gone by since that conversation and the show was still
going.
She stated that it has been tough for her because she came away from the concert feeling disappointed in the
employees and the police for the way it has been handled. She was also frustrated after having seen a photo of
the Chief of Police hugging Travis Scott on Social Media. I explained to her the circumstances to how we received
this case.
Seanna stated that she was pretty much located in the area of where everyone died. She believed that she was
right in the middle. She stated that many people have sent her "hundreds and thousands" of photos and videos
which helped her confirm that she was in that area. She stated that she saw where Ezra and Danish (Biag) were
standing. She later saw many people on the ground and she believes that they were almost all of the victims in

this case.
The Concert
Seanna explained that everyone was okay up until the timer on the stage started. It was a big timer counting down
from 30 minutes until Travis Scott was supposed to take the stage. She believed that the timer began at 8:30 PM.
She added that she was writing down her own personal account of what happened.
Regarding how she got out of the crowd to get to the camera platform, I told her that I saw her on the platform at
9:32PM, she stated the got out by where the crane arm was located. She stated that there was a person there
who was helping pull people over the barricade. She believed she was to the right of the crane when she got
pulled out (if facing the stage). Prior to getting out of the crowd, she stated that to her left were people on the
ground receiving CPR.
Once she got out of the crowd, she immediately starting looking for someone to speak to and alert them to the
situation. She stated that the first person that saw who was an employee was the cameraman on the platform.
From the platform, she stated that she could see the area that she just came from in the crowd.
Once she got on the platform, she stated that she was shouting as loudly as she could at the cameraman that
there was somebody dead in the crowd. She recalled saying this to him multiple times. She could not remember
what else she said to him or what they were able to converse about. In her opinion, she believe that the
cameraman could hear both what she and Aiden (the other person who climbed on the platform) were saying. She
acknowledged that the cameraman had headphones on, but she felt like they were being loud enough to get
through to him. She stated that she looked over to the camera platform next to her that was higher than the one
she was on. She stated the higher platform had two cameramen who made eye contact with her. She asked them
if they could see what she was seeing in the crowd and they immediately turned and looked back at the concert.
I asked her about the second employee that got onto the platform while she was still on trying to talk to the
cameraman. She referred to the employee as a security guard. She stated that she was on the other side of the
platform from where she started. When the guard got on the platform, she stated she felt relief because it was
person that could help her unlike the cameraman.
She stated that the made eye contact with this other person and explained to him that people were dying in the
crowd and she point to the area where she had come from. The person responded to her by saying, "get off the
platform". She repeated to him that people were dying. He told her again to get of the platform. She refused to get
off and continued to tell him what was going on. She explained that this other person was bigger than her and that
she was on the edge of an elevated platform with sharp metal beneath her. She stated that the person grabbed
her by the arm and began pulling her towards the ladder and told her, "get off this platform or I will push you off of
it". After hearing this from him, she stated that she shut down, because that was not the response that she was
expecting. Before climbing down the ladder, she told the person one more time that people were dead in the
crowd.
Once she got down the ladder, she stated that she did not know what to do next. She called 911, but it did not go
through first time. Emergency services called her back and she explained to the call-taker what was going on. The
call-taker assured her that medical personnel were coming. She told her that it was great that people were
coming, but she explained that the concert really needed to be stopped. She was getting frustrated with the
call-taker because she did not seem to grasp what she was saying about stopping the show.
After the 911 call, she stated that she started walking away from the platform when she ran into two medics
heading towards the crowd. She stated that the look on their faces was of confusion. They did not appear to know
what was going on. She asked them if they knew that people were dying and they told her that they did but they
just came from the crowd and could not find anything. At that moment, two more people had exited the crowd and
they agreed along with Seanna to guide the Medics to where all of the down people were.
I asked her if she remained in that area after taking the Medics in. She stated that she did not stay there but she
saw as some of the people were lifted out of the area. She stated she checked her phone and saw that her friend
had texted her telling her that she had gotten out. Her friend texted her at 9:40 PM and asked if she had gotten
out of the crowd and also told her she was at the handicap lounge. She stated she texted her back at 9:44 PM

saying "I am out, the paramedics are in the pit". She stood in that area until 9:52 PM until she was able to leave
and meet up with her friend at their meeting spot from earlier in the day.
To get out of the crowd again, she stated that she followed a line of people who were also trying to get out. She
recalled seeing the big dome in the distance and started heading in that direction. She stated that her friend told
her that she got out of the crowd by following medics who were carrying a girl on a stretcher.
When they made it to the dome, she stated that she saw four security guards standing. She asked them if they
knew what was going on and they said no. She told them that people were dying and two of them went running
towards the concert while two remained there.
She stated that she was walking with her friend out of the festival towards not the main entrance but one of the
small gates that was near one of the water stations that had stopped working that day. She stated there were
about twenty Officers in that area. She asked them if they knew what was going on and they replied that they
knew. They told her that they were getting it shut down. She was not sure exactly what time it was when that
encounter occurred. She guessed that it was sometime between 9:55 and 10:00 PM. Seanna's mother
commented that they have an application for Seanna's car which notified them that she made it to the car at 10:14
PM.

Edward Bellephant
DOB:
Security Guard
Early in the investigation, I was contacted by Edward who identified himself as a security guard at the event. I
wished to provide his statement. The following is a summary of my interview with Edward Bellphant:
He stated that he was working the front barrier during the concert. He described himself being in between the
stage and the barrier where he and others were pulling people out of the crowd. He stated that his job title for the
event was Security Guard. He stated that he was not sure who his employer was for the event, saying that they
were very loose about that type of information. He described it more as a freelance hiring.
He stated that he is from New Orleans. He got a call from his sister's friend who was looking for people to hire for
this event. He stated that he has background in security.
The Concert
He clarified that he was located at stage left or if you were looking at the stage, he was to the right. He was
working security at the "Levis Jean Jacket" section for the majority of the evening. He was in that area from 11 AM
to 8 PM. Around 8 PM he made his way over to the area in front of the stage. He met up with the guy who was
managing him and his group who he stated worked under the "big boss". The guy that was managing him had
three people under him, and he stated that he reported to a guy named "Soul". Soul told them to switch out with
some of the guys that were already at that location because they had already been there a while. He stated that
he was at that spot about 20 minutes before the show was supposed to begin and he described everything as
normal.
He stated the prior to the show starting, they were kicking some people out of the VIP area and he described
some people claiming that they knew Travis Scott and were attempting to get closer to the stage. He stated all of
this was normal which continued until the show started. He stated that people started getting high and other things
he was accustomed to seeing at concerts.
Then Travis began playing some of his more energetic songs that really got the crowd going early in the show.
This raised the energy of the crowd which again went wild later on when Drake took the stage. He stated that
people were asking for help and wanted to get out. He stated that the biggest problem area was to the right of
where he was and up the middle aisle. He described this as the area where there was a larger influx of people
who needed help. (His description of this area matches the target area where the bodies were found).

Narrative
He stated that the people they were pulling out were either screaming for help or they appeared really drowsy like
they lacked oxygen. He concluded that they might have been under the influence but he could not tell if it was
because of the lack of oxygen or drugs. He stated that some of them would hunch over and vomit once they were
pulled out of the crowd. He stated from experience that when people are pulled from an area where they are
suffocating, they would take about three or four breaths and then vomit. He noticed this happen with about three
or four people that he pulled out of the crowd. There were some people that he pulled out of the crowd that would
walk away and behave like they were fine, but he observed that they would take a few steps and then collapse.
He attributed these reactions to the pressure of the mosh pits and the influence of the drugs.
He stated that he has had friends overdose on fentanyl. According to him, some of the people that were pulled out
of the crowd showed some of the signs of fentanyl overdose that he has observed in the past. He stated their skin
was grey and their eyes were either heavily dilated or their pupils were very small. He stated that even after they
caught their breath, many of them were unable to form sentences. He did not believe that he encountered very
many drunk people.
He further described people that were pulled out and placed on stretchers as their bodies were jerking and some
people were drooling. This furthered his belief that there was something else going on possibly drug related. He
stated that all of this happened before Drake took the stage.
He stated that he did not know what time Drake came out, but when he did he stated that things got really bad in
the crowd. He stated that things before that where already pretty rough, but he felt like it got worse when Drake
came out. He stated they were pulling so many people out at that time including three people on stretchers. He
stated he has worked at a lot of concerts like Lalapalooza and Rolling Loud and he was used to seeing crazy stuff
at concerts. But this one was a little different with the volume of people that were being pulled out. He recounted a
moment in time when it seemed like twenty people all went down at once.
I asked him again to clarify where most of the problems were happening. He stated that it was all happening in the
areas closer to the stage and he made specific mention to stage left. He stated that it was difficult to explain. He
felt like people were pressing into each other to get closer to the stage.
I asked him if there was a procedure they had to follow once they got people out of the crowd. He stated that
before Drake was on stage it was more like "business as usual" in that they were pulling people out periodically
and sending them over to the medical tent that was way over past stage left. He stated that when Drake came on,
there were already medical personnel in the pit trying to "strap down" people to take to the medical tent.
He stated that at about the time Drake came on, there were about 10 Police Officers that rushed past him going
towards an area of the crowd that needed the most help. He could not see what they were doing, but he knew that
they went into the pits to try to get to people. There were a few people that he personally pulled out from his area
that needed help getting over to the medical tent, but they did not need a stretcher.
He stated that there a lot people that were jumping over the barrier to come tell him that "my friend is drowning in
there" or they would come tell them that they needed to get in there an break it all up. He stated that they would
not enter the crowd unless they could physically see the person that was unconscious. They resorted to yelling at
the crowd telling them to crowd-surf people to them.
He would hear people saying to him that "something happened to my friend" or he would hear people describing
to him that things were so tight and they were "crunched" in there that in half a second everyone started passing
out at once.
I asked him who would have been responsible for shutting down the show. He stated that he was not 100% sure
about that, but to him the show genuinely ended when it was supposed to end. He thought that maybe it was
coordinated to look like the show was ending in a natural way but he was not sure. He stated that his security
company did not call the show and he knew that there at least two other security companies working there. He did
not think that any of the other security shows stopped the show. He believed that if anyone called for the show to
be stopped, it might have been the executives of the show.
I asked him if there were any instances of intentional physical violence in the crowd. He stated that there was not.
He only encountered a few people that came over the barrier that were physical or agitated. He stated that he

encountered one person that he brought over the barrier who behaved like he could not breathe or that he was
about to throw up. That person then took off running towards the stage and underneath the stage where they
chased him and caught him where he put up a fight.
I asked him about the needle jabbing story. He stated that he did not hear or experience anything like that while
he was out there. He stated that people mostly acted like they were out of breath. He thinks that it was
combination of not being able to breath and a bad batch of drugs. It all seemed to happen at the same time and in
the same general area. He recalled hearing about a lot of cardiac arrests.
I asked him if there any others that we could speak to that were closer to the area where the collapse of people
occurred. He stated that he did not know and he did not have anyone's number as he had just met them that day.
He stated that he was working for AJ Molina and Associates. He thinks that one of the supervisor's names was
Scotty .

Detective Caten and I reviewed the Live Nation Document labeled LNAW_HPD_0000274 and either attempted to
reach out or made contact with many of the Company and Departments that were involved with the concert or
festival venue. Detective Caten supplemented his contacts in a previous supplement. The following are the
individuals that I interviewed over the phone:

Travis Scott's agent, Cara Lewis. His responsibilities were to transport Cara around, keep track of her schedule,
and assist her in any way. He stated he came to Houston on Wednesday before the festival.
During the concert, he stated that he was with Cara Lewis in the sound booth area of the concert behind the
general admissions crowd. He stated if you were looking at the stage, they were to the right. For clarification, the
sound booth area was the tented area where some of the special guests were standing including Kardashian. He
stated that he and Cara did not want to stay there so they backed up to another area where they were watching

the show mostly from the large television screen.
I asked him more about the concert itself. He stated that he has been to Travis Scott shows before and to him it
was similar to others. He stated that nothing seemed off to him until there was point when Travis stopped the
show and pointed out the ambulance cart that was in the crowd. He stated that Cara felt like there was something
off about the show as they were walking around the sound booth area which factored into her decision to move to
another location.
I asked him if Cara said why she felt "off" about the show. He stated that she did not elaborate on that. He stated
that he could not hear anyone yelling for help or stop the show. He stated that they learned about the
injuries/fatalities after the show when they went backstage. A person from Live Nation spoke with Cara and told
her that there were three people who had cardiac arrest. He stated that he general reaction to the news from
those he saw backstage was shock.

Chad is the owner of Unified Command. His company provided security cameras for the event which we already
had a copy of provided to us by Live Nation. He stated that they had camera operators located in the Command
Center. They were responsible for moving the cameras around remotely, responding to other in the Command
Center, or advising those in the trailer of any issues.
He stated that he was not going to provide me with the names of those operators until he consulted with Live
Nation and the lawyer they were working with for this event. He stated that he was not at the event and could not
say if his people had radios. He stated there were a lot of people in the trailer with his employees.
He stated that his company also kept and incident reporting system. He explained that the reports would include

C.Sparky Sorenson - Marketing, Drone
Pilot
01/07/2022
Sparky stated that he represents his own company, Sparky Video Production. He stated he was hired by
Scoremore to operate the drone. He stated that his drone should have been the only one at the concert. He stated
that he worked at the Astro World concert in 2019.
He stated that he was set up at the back right corner, back stage, in a secluded area. He stated that the drone
remained in the air for the duration of the concert apart from the few minutes every now and then for charging. He
stated that he was streaming live to Apple Music with the footage from the drone.
He stated that he was limited as to the area that he could fly the drone due to FAA regulations. He stated that he
was hovering above the left shoulder of Travis Scott. He captured a lot of the crowd and the entire stage area. He
thinks that his camera was labeled as Camera 15 or 16.
He stated that he was on a communications network with all of the other cameraman and he could hear the
instances when EMS or Security was requested to certain areas. He mentioned the instance with the girl who
climbed up on the camera tower. He stated that the cameraman the girl was talking to was getting death threats
because it was thought that he was ignoring her. On the communications channel, that cameraman was saying
that there was a situation over there and that he needed people over there now.
He referenced the crane cameraman, describing him as one of the most vocal on the communications channel.
He stated that he probably had one of the best perspectives on what was going on. He stated that he heard over
the communications channel the words, "CPR", and "there are people getting dragged or carried out". He was

later notified by Live Nation about the aftermath and the fatalities.
From his position he could not really see what was going on. He was mostly just listening to all of the
communications. He stated that there weren't many people around him. Lighting and sound were located at front
of house and there were engineers by the stage, but he described himself as being isolated.
I asked him if he ever heard any talks about stopping the show. He stated that he did not hear anything like that,
and from his position he did not see anyone. He stated that when it was about to end, maybe two or three songs
left in the concert, HPD Officers had begun to gather around the back of the stage. He stated that this was
expected because they had done this in 2019 as well.
He gave his opinion and his overall impression of the event. He stated that the event seemed well prepared with
security and fencing. He stated that if there was anyone to blame for what happened it would be the kids who
breached the gates and fences earlier in the day. He stated that the fans had an attitude of disregard for the
safety of others. He has seen larger events have less Police and Security and not have a negative outcome.

D.Chris Schuman - Stagehand Labor/Production
I spoke with Chris who represents James Thomas Productions. During the interview, I learned that his and his
crew responsibilities entailed the setting up and managing of Stage 2 where all of the earlier performances
occurred. He stated that he was not present for the main, Travis Scott concert.
E.Jarrel Bevers - Site Operations
Jarrell stated that he was contracted to work this event by BWG Productions. He stated that he is a contract
laborer, but he has worked and dealt with BWG for three years including working the last Astroworld festival in
2019. He stated that his primary duties leading up the festival included carpentery, barrier set up, and handicap
ramp assembly. He clarified that the BWG did not build the Main Stage or the barriers in front of it, which was
performed by another company. He stated they focused more on the festival grounds and the perimeter.
He stated that he remained at the location during the concert. He stated that he was standing in front of the stage,
in the stage right area, describing that Travis Scott was maybe 70 feet away to his left. He stated that there were
security guards all around that area. He noted that they were very young and by his estimation were failing at
doing their job leading up to and during the concert. He stated that the hundreds of concert attendees did not have
the proper wristbands or credentials to be in the area, but security was not checking. He stated that security
behaved more like fans of the concert and they paid more attention to the female concert attendees than anything
else. On occasions there would be individuals in a restricted area, but security would allow them to remain
because the individual would claim they were supposed to be there or demand that security not touch them.
He stated that problems began to arise after the concert began. He stated that when people were pulled out of the
crowd, they generally had to be escorted or were directed to pass by him towards a main exit. He stated that he
witnesses several people vomit after having been pulled out of the crowd. He stated there was a young female
who was brought over to his area who was crying an shouting hysterically about people who were dying. He
stated that she was pointing to the back/left section of the crowd when talking about the dead people. He stated
that security ignored her or did not take her seriously. He stated that she shouted about the issue for about 10
minutes. Meanwhile, he and those who were not security were doing what they could to be of help, knowing that
they were not permitted to do much.
Jerrell recalled the moment when Travis Scott was lifted up on the elevated platform. That was when a concert
attendee in his area was having a medical emergency and was crowd surfed near to where he was. He stated that
Travis was making some strange noises on the microphone while this was happening and the show only stopped
briefly. He stated that Travis asked for the music to start back up and the concert continued. He stated that he
could not see the ambulance cart when it entered the crowd but later could see it still stuck once the crowd had
cleared at the conclusion of the show.
He stated that prior to the show, he had been working on the grounds when it was learned that medical tent had

lost power to its A/C units. He explained that there was some internal conflicts throughout the set up period
between the power company and the A/C Company and the situation was left unresolved for a while. He stated
that the problem was brought to the attention of Emily Ockenden and another person who worked alongside her,
Phillip. He stated Emily and Phillip disregarded the problem and showed no interest in resolving it. This was
frustrating so he and his co-worker Matt Haze eventually found a solution for it themselves only an hour before the
show began. He stated that the outcome of the show would have been worse had power to medical tent not been
restored. He also believed that Emily was not aware of the things that took place during the show.
End of Interview.
F.Timothy Shanahan - Stage Manager
Tim stated that he was contracted to work this event by Live Nation. He stated that he was the Stage Manager for
Stage 2. He stated that he did not interact with the other stage or the Travis Scott performance. He felt like the
events pertaining to his Stage were well planned. None of his employees were a part of the Main Stage crew.
End of Interview.
G.Miah Moore - Transportation
He stated that he was working in artist transportation for the event, hired by Scoremore - Charlie Wilson. He
stated that he was reviewing tik-tok when he saw a person talking about their experience. He went onto describe
the chaos that occurred around the main merchandise tent. He talked about how people were throwing bike racks
and how maybe ten people were tased. He talked about a single person who was the instigator to the riot at the
merchandise tent.
Talking about the concert, he was to the right of the stage if you were looking at the stage, and he was located in
the VIP area behind the general population who were inside the barricades. He stated all of the people that were
passing out were in the area to the left of his location.
He recalled seeing the ambulance cart enter the crowd and then disappear. Then he saw that there people
standing on top of the cart, shaking it, and jumping into the crowd.
He stated that he has been to a lot of concerts in the past, including Travis Scott. He stated that there was a
period of time before Drake took the stage that the crowd was pretty quiet which to him was highly unusual. He
stated that most of us knew that there was a body down somewhere during a point in time when Travis paused
the show. He stated that they figured that the body must have been moved because about a 30 seconds later,
Travis had started up the show again with a high-energy song. He stated that he could hear screaming but he
could not tell where it was coming from. He could not differentiate if the screams where for the concert or for an
emergency. Occasionally he would see heads turn in the crowd and look in that direction. After looking at Tik-Tok
videos the next day, he learned that people around near the center left of the stage were chanting "stop the
show".
Another odd occurrence was when people with no shirts carrying water packs showed up in the VIP area he was
in. He stated that normally VIP guests were buying their own drinks and there was never just people bringing
water like that to them. He stated there was so much going on at that time that he could not put all of the red flags
together.
End of Interview.
H.Dean Pleasant - Crane Rental/Site Operations
He stated that he and his company were hired for this event to provide cranes and set up the stage. He stated that
they set up the stage and later were called in to break it down when it was all over. His company is called Mcray
Crane, and he has worked for this show for the last two or three years. He stated that his company did not
participate in the planning of the stage, they only participated in activities that required cranes. He stated that they
were not present for the concert.

I.Greg Noire - Photographer
He stated that he was the lead photographer for Scoremore. He stated that he is normally freelance, but he has
been contracted by Scoremore for at least four or five years. He stated that he has done photography for a lot of
live music shows and he has worked at all of the previous Astroworld Festivals. He described the previous
Astroworlds as follows: the first one was amazing and the second was a little chaotic but still good.
During the day, he was moving around a lot and delegating to the other photographers. When it came time for the
Travis Scott concert, he stated he was in the photo pit almost the whole time. The pit was located right in front of
the stage between the stage and the rest of the crowd. He stated that normally he would move around a lot and
even take photos from within the crowd, but on this occasion he did not do that because he felt that there were
way too many people.
He stated that his primary job was not just to photograph the performance but to capture the experience of the
concert. His photos would be used by Social Media to promote the show afterwards.
I asked him about his activities earlier in the day. He stated that before the gates were opened to the public, he
headed over to main merchandise tent to make a purchase. He stated that the gates were opened while he was
there, he could see fans hurdling barricades and rushing through the gates. He stated it was all pretty chaotic. He
stated that there was maybe one police officer there at the time but he was filming and taking pictures on his
phone.
He talked about some of the loose security measures he experienced. He stated that his credentials were not
checked like they normally would be when entering certain areas. He stated that when they wrapped up the
performances at the second stage, he tried to move to another area but got caught up in the crowd that security
was directing to go a certain direction. He stated that it got very tight and it was difficult to break away from the
crowd. He stated that he lost a fingernail from being crushed in the crowd.
In contrast, he stated that when he and the photographer he was working with were making their way over to the
main stage, Security stopped them and requested their credentials. He stated that they were given a hard time
and the security guard told them that he needed to get approval from his supervisor to let them in, but he did not
know who that person was. Eventually they got into the venue and were preparing their position. While the
countdown clock was going on stage, he noted that some of the music that was playing in the crowd was very
strange.
He stated that he recalled hearing a loud noise or crack coming from the barricade next to him. He stated that
some security showed up with straps and that strapped the barricade together. He recalled commenting to his
partner, "If that thing breaks then we are all done". He tried to stay away from that area for the rest of the night just
in case it did break. Another observation he made was that every now and then he would feel an intense heat
coming from crowd. He stated that he had never felt something like that before.
While taking pictures for the concert, he felt like it was one of the best concerts that he has ever photographed. He
stated that every now and then he would see someone getting carried out or people who were passed out. He
stated that this was not unusual for him to see those things and it was generally considered normal. He stated that
he did not see a lot of police activity around his area.
He stated that he did not learn that anything bad might have happened until he got to his trailer. He stated that he
learned the extent of what happened the following morning.

J.Michael Helton - Lighting and LEDs
I was contacted by Michael because he had received a Grand Jury Subpoena from us, naming him as a person
who works for entertainment eighteentwentysix. From his phone call however, I learned that he was not employed
by eighteentwentysix but instead he was a freelance working who specializes in lighting. He stated that he was
subcontracted by a company called Fuse who was hired by eighteentwentysix.
He stated that he has worked at Travis Scott festivals in the past. He stated that he has been on tour with him

before. He went on to discuss with me some of the various responsibilities for the tour manager, the production
manager, and the artist manager.
Because of his experience touring with Travis Scott, I asked him if safety was ever a concern. He stated that it
was not something that was an issue for them. However, he talked about Travis Scott fans and how he noticed
that they generally did not have respect for authority.
I asked him who would be responsible for communicating an emergency situation to Travis Scott. He stated that it
would have to come through the audio module that has a direct line to Travis Scott's earpiece. He stated that
someone would have to tell the person running the module and then that person would have to tell Travis.
He stated that he did not stay for the concert portion of this event.

******************************************
Additional Interviews with Apple Employees
During the course of this investigation, I have been able to identify Apple Music employees who either heard/saw
something based on their position within the venue. This started with cameraman Gregory Hoffman declaring his
camera position being overrun and later remarking that persons were receiving CPR. I spoke with members of
Hoffman's camera crew to confirm his account. Hoffman's radio communications were received by the Production
Director, Salvatore Livia. Salvatore then repeated in his own words what was occurring around Hoffman's position.
Next, there was an Apple Director, Lee Lodge who carried the information to Rob Paine. The following is a
summary of my interview with Apple Employee Rob Paine:
Rob Paine
As in previous interviews with Apple, they had several lawyers present, the primary lawyer being Andrew Farthing.
This was an audio call set up by Apple.
Rob stated that his normal and current employment is with his own company, Eventvision. He was contracted by
Apple to work the Astroworld Festival. His company gets hired on to provide services for events, such as hiring,
logistics, and other necessities.
For this event, he stated he was mobile some of the time, but he was primarily housed in one of the two mobile
trailers located about 150 ft behind the stage (he was in trailer B, a different trailer than the production trailer). As
for communications, he stated that he did most of his communications in person prior to the concert and then
when the concert started, he was able to listen in and communicate as needed on the PL (production line) radio.
He stated that the only ones talking on that channel were the director and a few others in productions. He stated
that he had about forty people brought to this event by him which included cameraman and various other
personnel.
The Concert
He stated the live stream of the concert started at around 9 O'clock. He observed that everything was normal early
on in the show and he added that the crowd was rowdy and they had been throwing water bottles towards some
of their personnel, but that was not uncommon. He stated the real problems began around 9:30 when Gregory
Hoffman got on the radio and declared that kids were climbing on his crane among other problems. He stated that
Gregory sounded like he was in distress and he noted that it was highly unusual for a cameraman to speak on the
radio system which was primarily reserved for the Director. He stated that he has known Hoffman for years and
he has never known him to panic or speak up over the radio before.
After Hoffman's transmission was made, he spoke with Shelby who went to Hoffman's position to help while he
looked for police. He found a group of Officers back stage, left of the stage. He explained to them that something
was going on out there in the crowd by his cameraman and they are saying that they needed help. He stated that
the Officers responded that they could not enter the crowd. He believed that this might have been an order given
to the police beforehand. They told him that they were unable to go in and assist. In spite of this response, Rob
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:14 Page 6 of 8

Narrative
stated that he persisted with Officers until a Sgt. arrived and basically repeated to him what the Officers had told
him. But before leaving, he stated that he saw the Sgt. get his radio and request for units to go help in that area.
Rob stated that he did not know the full extent of what was going on, only going off the original transmission
received by Hoffman at that time. After speaking with the Officers, he stated that he returned over to his mobile
trailer. He met with Shelby, who had just returned from helping with Hoffman. He stated that she appeared upset
and she described to him seeing at least one person receiving CPR. He then went to the production trailer and
conferred with Lee Lodge and others, updating them on what was happening. He stated this was all getting done
sometime just before 10 PM. In that discussion, he suggested that they should consider stopping the live stream.
Then, they heard a transmission from their stage manager who was positioned backstage, informing them that the
Police were going to stop the concert after the song that had just started was over.
After it became known that the show was going to be stopped. He told the director that they should have their
cameraman and personnel in the field shelter in place, fearing that if the show was stopped abruptly there would
be a riot. He stated the final song ended naturally and the crowd dispersed without further incident.
Additional Information
I asked him if he could say with any accuracy what time he approached police. He stated that he recalled writing it
down and it had to be right about 9:30. He stated that it was a group of 4-6 Officers. With more specificity, he
stated that Officers were about 75 feet away from an access gate that led back stage. They were between that
gate and Main St to the left of the stage. He stated that the Sgt. that spoke with him was approximately 6'0'' tall
with dark hair and a mustache. He did not catch any of their names.
I addressed a small discrepancy regarding Lee Lodge's statement, in which Lee appeared to indicate that Rob
approached the police on two separate occasions. Rob confirmed that it was only on one occasion. During the
time that he left the trailer to speak with police, he had left his radio behind so he was no longer able to hear any
additional communications.
He stated that the stage manager that told them the show was going to shut down was Roger Melvin. He stated
that Roger was backstage, his job was to communicate to the director about what was going on during the
on-stage performance. The communication about shutting down the show came around 10 PM.
End of Interview.
Roger Melvin
DOB:
Once again, I coordinated with Apple legal, Andrew Farthing to conduct a conference call with Roger. Roger
stated that he was the Stage Manager for the Apple portion of the show. He was contracted for this event as a
freelance. He stated that this was his first time working for Astroworld.
The Concert
He stated that he was positioned under the stage for the majority of the show. He moved occasionally and
positioned himself behind the LED screen but still under the stage. His responsibility was to let the Director know
when Travis Scott was taking the stage and any other changes that were occurring so that their cameraman could
be prepared.
I asked him about communications. He stated he used the PL (production line) radio which enabled him to
communicate to the Director and the production truck. He stated he was not sure if he had access to other
channels.
During the show, he heard early reports that the crowd was throwing water bottles and getting a little crazy. He
later heard that fans were climbing camera platforms and messing with camera equipment. He stated that these
problems were occurring around the "house" or front of house. He could not recall exact times when these events
were taking place. He recalled hearing from the cameraman during the show that there were people receiving
CPR. He also recalled on the monitor seeing the ambulance cart enter and get stuck in the crowd.

Narrative
He stated that at some point during the show, he was out near the audio tent backstage when an HPD Officer
walked up and told the people working that area that they had ten minutes to stop the show. He thought that this
may have occurred at 10:10. He believed there may have been 7-10 people operating or working around the
audio tent. I asked him if there was anyone else prior to the HPD Officer that visited the audio tent who would not
normally be in that area i.e. (security, other non-concert personnel). He stated there was not anyone else that he
could recall.

Pollack's provided messages. There did not appear to be any other relevant text messages pertaining to our
investigation. M. Barrow and I did not see an actual copy of the text messages. The attorneys are still requesting
immunity for Seyth Boardman and have made statements that Seyth may speak if there is immunity offered to his
wife; Shawna Boardman.
On April 7, 2022, I sent a message to Attorneys Sydney Johnson and Andrew Lourie asking us if we could get a
contact for Matt Eyer after learning from Unified Command that he was the Security Dispatcher for the festival.
Andrew Lourie responded to say that they will look into it and get back to me.
B.) Interactions with Emily Ockenden
On February 4, 2022, I sent a follow up e-mail to Molly Pela and Will Moye as I had not heard anything from them.
On February 8, 2022, I sent a follow up e-mail to Molly Pela and Will Moye. Will Moye responded to say Emily is
out of the country and Leo Nitzberg was not present on site at any point. He stated they will not be providing a
voluntary interview at this time.
On February 23, 2022, M. Barrow and I served Molly Pela and Will Moye with subpoenas to compel them to come
before the Grand Jury to say on the record that their client is out of the country and/or their client was not at the
Astroworld Festival (his is copied and pasted from Leo Nitzberg's involvement above. Molly Pela and Will Moye
are representing these clients.)
March 1, 2022, M. Barrow sent out mail requesting signed returns to Emily Ockenden containing Grand Jury
Subpoenas.
On March 12, 2022, I sent a follow up request to speak with Emily Ockenden to Attorneys Will Moye and Molly
Pela. Attorney Will Moye contacted me the same day. He stated he reached out to Emily Ockenden. He stated he
plans to meet with her soon and will try to set up a Zoom call with her in the near future.
On March 21, 2022, Molly Pela stated they are still waiting for permission from their client pertaining to a
questionnaire. She also asked for an extension to appear before the Grand Jury at a later date. I relayed this
information over to Michael Levine. He extended their date to April 12, 2022.
I believe it was around this date when Attorney Will Moye stated Emily Ockenden had returned to the United
States. I relayed this information over to A.D.A. M. Levine and he stated he would try to compel Emily Ockenden
to come before the Grand Jury in Harris County.
On March 29, 2022, M. Barrow reached out to Molly Pela and Will Moye. He asked if they are accepting service
on behalf of Emily Ockenden. On March 30, 2022, Molly Pela responded with the following information:
"We have received the courtesy copy of the new subpoena to Emily but none for Will or me. We are not accepting
service for Emily. We will reach out to Emily about her willingness to participate in the interview."
On April 8, 2022, Molly Pela sent the following message to me:
"Josh -
I just want to confirm that Will and I have been released from our subpoenas. He is currently in trial and will be
unavailable to testify for the next 6-8 weeks. Please let us know."
I responded asking if there has been any progress with speaking to Emily Ockenden.
As April 8, 2022, we have still not received a statement from Emily Ockenden. It has been extremely frustrating.
Will Moye often tells me of his client's statement to be very important to the investigation as she has a lot to
provide. However, she is not cooperating. I am still awaiting for the DA's Office to proceed with serving Emily
Ockenden to compel her to come before the Grand Jury.
There is an interview with Emily Ockenden around 2019 - 2020 where she speaks about working Astroworld. She
mentions how she operates and manages the festival. Her perspective is important to the thoroughness of this
investigation. I have asked HPD Officer H. Nguyen to download the interview from YouTube to attach to the case

C. Interactions with Brent Silberstein (Disk 1F)
I was contacted by Attorney Chris Downey on November 20, 2021 stating he is representing Brent Silberstein. I
attempted to get a statement from Mr. Silberstein through Chris Downey on 11/30/21, 01/14/2022, 01/27/2022,
02/08/2022 (on Zoom), 02/16/2022, and 03/01/2022. Mr. Downey stated he will try to set up a meeting this week
(the week ends 03/06/2022).
On March 3, 2022, M. Barrow and I interviewed Brent Silberstein. Review the interview synopsis below:
Brent Silberstein
March 3, 2022
Detective M. Barrow and I introduced ourselves followed by Brent Silberstein and Attorney Christopher Downey.
Brent Silberstein stated his date of birth is . M. Barrow asked if he is employed by Live Nation. He
stated it is termed as a part time employee under Scoremore which is a part of Live Nation. M. Barrow asked Mr.
Silberstein who he works for full time. He stated he has spent most of his time working with Live Nation or for Live
Nation. Brent Silberstein stated his background if Production Operations. He stated he started low and moved his
way up. He stated he has spent years putting events together and touring. He stated he has done various roles for
different entertainment companies.
Mr. Silberstein stated he has been production manager, stage manager, to Site Operations manager, and festival
administrator. He stated it is up to them to tell him which role to fulfill. He stated he has been doing the work since
1986. He stated he has been full time involved since 1993. M. Barrow asked if he was a part of the previous
Astroworld. He stated he has worked the two prior and he worked as the same capacity. He stated his official title
was either Festival Administrator or Festival Producer. He stated those titles are interchangeable. I asked him to
give us a day to day rundown of his job.
Brent Silberstein stated his job is to organize all of the teams and departments. He stated he has to make sure the
departmental roles are filled with the right people and teams. He stated he has to make sure the budgets are in
line. He stated he puts together conference calls. He stated he is the middle man between the producers, the
building, and site operations team. He stated he picks up whatever falls in between those parties and then
connects the dots. He stated that is the most general way of describing his job. M. Barrow asked where does he
go in the festival and how often is he involved.
Brent Silberstein stated if there was a meeting to be had, he would get all of the entities together for the meetings.
He stated he would coordinate the meetings between the vendors and the venue. He stated he would help
facilitate the build schedule as well. He stated he would make sure when they come to the meetings, they would
be on the same page. He stated on the ground, he plays a role in the building and planning. He stated he works
on keeping teams on tasks. M. Barrow asked if he has a role in the hiring process. He stated he can make
suggestions but it ultimately comes down to Scoremore. He stated it should be going through Sascha and Lucas
who own Scoremore. He stated he does not know which one makes the final decision in the hiring process.
M. Barrow asked when they started planning this Astroworld. Brent stated it was the Astroworld meant for the year
2020. He stated the conversations started to really pick up steam in February 2021. He stated at that point, the
pieces were already on hold because of the previous planning. M. Barrow asked if there were any significant
changes to the setup. Brent Silberstein stated the only big change he can remember is Travis Scott brought on a
new design team for his stage. He stated that was a production element. He stated there was some personnel
change as some people left businesses. He stated that was more about artistic elements not construction.
I asked Mr. Silberstein if he had any role with hiring security. He stated no. He stated Seyth was already onboard.
He stated he believes in 2019, Scoremore made a change in 2020 that they had made Seyth's company for them.
He stated so Seyth was already on board. M. Barrow asked if Seyth was in charge of the hiring for the security
companies. Mr. Silberstein stated he is not sure. He stated usually there is a building contract so the companies
coming in will use whatever security company that is already in place. He stated CSC for example would be the
company you would use. He stated they are already at the venue and there is a contract. He stated in this case,
/CATEN, J M 06/29/2023 11:14 Page 5 of 33

he believes Seyth had a say. He stated he believes Seyth would give a stink if they brought on someone that is
not qualified because he is the face of security.
M. Barrow asked how involved was he working with Emily Ockenden. He stated he spoke with her almost weekly
for a while. He stated she is the Site Operational Manager. He stated she ran it from the moment they took over
the grounds up to when they opened the doors. He stated it is basically her team in charge of running the site the
moment they get onto the grounds. M. Barrow asked what the difference between his and her roles is. He stated
he does not hire the teams themselves. He stated she would have to bring everything in and set up the festival
and to operate it. He stated she would hire all the site operations.
M. Barrow asked what are some of the things to prepare for when it comes to a Travis Scott festival; is hi festival
similar to other festivals. Mr. Silberstein stated the festivals are pretty generic in the sense that they are building
the festival. He stated just like all of the major festivals in the United States, they want to be ready at midnight the
night before. He stated they want to be prepared if there is a large line in the morning. He stated that allows them
to open gates to relieve some pressure to the lines. He stated the prep work is done the night before. He stated
you prepare to have concessions, merch, and rides ready to go in case they need to open gates earlier.
M. Barrow asked if there were any specific safeguards set in place pertaining to Travis Scott's specific concert
going crowd. Mr. Silberstein stated yes. He stated it was all about opening of the gates in the morning. He stated
that is a conversation that was had. He stated they had experience with Travis Scott festivals because the two
previous festivals. He stated they knew the hurtle would be at the opening of the gates. He stated once you get
past that, it is normal business. He stated this year, they had prepared to make it a long staggered entrance. He
stated they made zones. He stated as the zones would fill, they would open up the next layer. He stated that
would keep pressure off of the gates. He stated they always planned on opening the gates at 09:00 AM or 10:00
AM. He stated they had stated the gates would open at noon but they were prepared to open at 09:00 AM. He
stated that was always the plan.
Mr. Silberstein he stated HPD, the building, building operations, medical, were all privy to those conversations
before the festival began. Mr. Silberstein stated this idea was constructed based on working the two prior
Astroworld Festivals. He stated they were taking that experience to make the most constructive and positive
opening they could. He stated none of it was designed by him. He stated he can just explain the thought process.
Mr. Silberstein stated all big entities were present to these meetings and could all voice their opinions if they did
not agree with how to open the festival.
M. Barrow asked if there was a conversation that was discussed before the opening of the festival to say if a gate
rush were to occur, what would be the protocol and how would they respond. Mr. Silberstein stated he did not
know about the gate rush until later in the day. He stated he cannot really comment on the gate rush. He stated
was told there was a gate rush of some sorts at the front. He stated he heard news teams were combining gate
rushes from years before and applying them to the present. He did not think of it being a concern because it was
never brought up to him and it was not brought up as a big issue.
M. Barrow asked where he was positioned throughout the day. Brent Silberstein stated he was all over the place.
He stated he started the day out on the floor. He stated they were making sure everything was adequate before
doors were opening. He stated him with Leah who is with NRG Park. He stated she was on the ground
representative of the building. He stated they were together when the doors were opened. He stated after that, he
spent the first half of the day checking on the different departments.
He stated he made sure the different teams had what they needed. He stated he checked on his operational camp
in purple lot. He stated later in the afternoon, he was with Leah and David of NRG Park (Leah Mastaglio and
David Gerdy). He stated they did a walk through for a little bit. He stated they ended up at the front gates for a bit.
He stated it was somewhere between walking up to the gates or before, he was told about the gates. He stated
they spent some time up there. He stated they went to have a conversation with merch. He stated they walked
around.
He stated after about two hours of that, everything appeared to be running normally. He stated it was late in the
afternoon when he went to check with production. He stated his office was in the purple lot. He stated production
was behind stage one and stage two. M. Barrow asked what communication abilities he had. He stated he carried
a radio. He stated he spent time on two channels. He stated his attorney was on one. He stated he did not have

Brent Silberstein stated he was in the barricade before the start of the show. He stated he was in the barricade for
approximately the first five or six minutes. He stated he makes it a practice to see the show to start to make sure
everything is okay. He stated he was in front of the thrust at the very end. He stated he was far enough away from
the pyro. He stated if you were looking at the stage, he was to the left in the pit. M. Barrow asked what his
observations were for those first five or six minutes. Mr. Silberstein stated the beginning of the show was normal
and that is what caused him to walk away. M. Barrow asked if he saw HPD there. He stated he did not see where
he was standing but he knew them to be to the left and right of the stage.
M. Barrow asked if he saw security pulling anyone out of the crowd while his time in the barricades. He stated he
did not. Mr. Silberstein had stated he went back stage after spending the first couple minutes of the concert. He
stated began to head back to the local production office. He stated the office was located stage left. He stated if
you look at the stage, he was headed to the right side. He stated he went back there to discuss the overnight
transition. He stated around that time, Emily walked up (Emily Ockenden). He stated they talked for a minute. He
stated she walked away for a few seconds. He stated he turned away. He stated she came back to him and asked
him to come with her. She stated she believes there was a breach or break in the barricade up front.
Brent Silberstein stated he followed her out and they went up to the front. He stated there was no breach in the
barricade. He stated at that point, he was back in the venue. He stated he followed Emily. He stated they went
straight to the back of the barricade. He stated if you were in the field looking at the stage, there was a straight
away. He stated he believes that is where she was told to go. He stated he believed she was told the breach was
in front of house. He stated he followed her because she asked him to come with her. He stated he did not ask
who reported the breach to her.
M. Barrow asked if he was met by anyone in the area. He stated he was not. M. Barrow asked what they did next
when they could not find any signs of a breach. He stated he continued to follow Emily. He stated if you look out
from the stage to the far left side to the front of house. He stated there was a scissor lift there. He stated the
scissor lifts were there for HPD and EMS to oversee potential issues in the crowd at any time. He stated they
were extra towers for them to have a birds-eye view if needed. He stated Emily climbed into the scissor lift
platform and appeared to be looking for something. He stated she did not go up. He stated he does not know if
she was trying to see if they missed the break. He stated he does not think they missed it because if there had
been a break, it would have been chaos.
He stated this took place if you were looking at the stage from the lift, it would be to the right. He stated if you
were looking out from the stage, it would be to the left of the tower. M. Barrow asked what happened next. Brent
stated she got off of the lift and he tried to follow her. He stated he lost her. He stated he could not find her. M.
Barrow asked what were the conditions of the crowd at that point in the show. He stated there were some guests
watching the show in the area between the two towers. He stated they all had laminates, sticker passes and were
credentialed. M. Barrow asked about the crane arm, the wheelchair ramp, and nearby platform. He asked if he
remembers seeing that. Mr. Silberstein stated yes. He stated the area was getting compacted. He stated the
camera area did not appear that compacted. He stated there were guests in front of it. He stated the ADA area
was compacted. He stated the ADA is the American Disability Act. He stated the ADA are was compacted by
having people on it. He stated he believes it is a 24 x 24 platform.
M. Barrow asked how long he was in the area after he lost sight of Emily. He stated he was in the area around
fifteen to twenty minutes. He stated he walked around the area there. He stated he got his first call during the
show at that point. He stated the call was to ask if he had opened an egress gate. He stated he believes the call
came in around 09:40 PM to 09:45 PM. I asked if he knows who called him and he stated Seyth Boardman. He
stated Seyth's words to him like, "Did you get those gates opened for us like we discussed earlier for the egress."
Brent stated he responded with, "I am not sure if it got done or not. Let me check". He stated Seyth responded, "It
might be too late but go check". Mr. Silberstein that he responded to Seyth by saying, "Okay". He stated he went
to go check. I asked if he knew what Seyth meant by that statement. He stated no.

Narrative
Attorney Chris Downey interjected and stated he wanted to clarify. He told Mr. Silberstein that he did see
someone that he called a medic over to but he was not receiving CPR. Brent Silberstein stated that is correct. He
stated it appeared like the person was over intoxicated. Mr. Downey asked Mr. Silberstein to explain that. Mr.
Silbertstein stated after he lost Emily, he walked back towards the stage. He stated he got through approximately
half way of the alley or thrust barricade and saw someone was laying down. He stated they appeared to be
intoxicated. He stated he went back to the ADA and found a medic there. He stated he brought the medic over to
the person laying down. He stated he then walked away. He stated Seyth called approximately fix to six minutes
later. He stated he did not think anything more about the individual that was laying down. He stated they appeared
to be "passed out" or "overly intoxicated".
M. Barrow asked if he could provide any physical descriptions of the person. He stated it was dark and loud. He
stated he knew he had seen a medic at the ADA. He stated he does not know the ethnicity. Mr. Silberstein stated
he has done a lot of shows and it appeared the individual was intoxicated. I asked if there was any other time that
someone needed serious medical help and he stated no. M. Barrow asked where did he go after getting the
person medical aid. He stated he went back towards the Jenner tent and was right behind the tent. Mr. Silberstein
asked Mr. Downey if this was the time that he had told him about being approached by a female from Apple.
Mr. Downey stated he was just looking that up and that he had in his notes that the female from Apple had
approached Mr. Silberstein before Seyth called. Mr. Silberstein stated that is correct. He stated the female
approached him after the medic incident but before Seyth Boardman called. Mr. Silberstein stated he wanted to
add another fact and apologized. He stated during the time all of this was going on, it was not just him and Emily.
He stated Chuck Beckler was also there the entire time. He stated the only time Chuck was not with him was
when he started walking towards the stage. He stated Chuck held back. He stated that is when he went back to
grab Chuck after the medic. He stated that is when the female from Apple approached.
Brent Silberstein stated the only reason that he knew the female from Apple is because she introduced herself
early the day before. He stated he got her connections to help her with all her needs. He stated he could not really
hear what she was saying. He stated he asked Chuck Beckler to see what she was saying. He stated Chuck said
sure. He stated he believes the female walked off. He stated he asked Chuck what was wrong. He stated Chuck
told him the female was scared. He stated Chuck said she was concerned someone was going to push a camera
over and hurt someone. He stated Chuck said she wanted to get her camera guys down and camera guys
wouldn't listen. He stated he asked what Chuck what did he say to her. He stated Chuck said to get herself and
her guys to safety. He stated Chuck told her if the camera guys do not listen, he will try to approach them. He
stated two to three minutes later, he left. He stated Chuck stayed. He stated he does not know what Chuck did at
that point. He stated he left the area to check the egress gates.
Mr. Silberstein stated he left the concert area. He stated he does not know all of the times at this point. He stated
he went to the front of house, he stated he went across the entire park to the main entrance. He stated he went
out the main entrance at Murworth and Lantern. He stated he made a left onto Murworth and went across Lantern.
He stated there was a presidential fence. He stated that is just barricaded fence. He stated it was on Murworth.
He stated the gate was not removed. He stated he got on the radio and called the staging channel He stated he
told a crew to remove the fence down right now. He stated as they were taking down the gate, the egress started.
He stated the gate was not down before the concert ended. He stated the gate was down during egress.
M. Barrow asked what Seyth meant earlier when he said they had discussed about opening the egress gate
earlier. Mr. Silberstein stated Seyth had asked him around 06:00 PM to look at a fence in the office. He stated he
wanted it down during egress. Mr. Silberstein stated that cannot happen while the festival is going out. He stated
you do not want to create an opening for someone just to talk through. He stated the plan was to dismantle it at
the last thirty minutes of the concert. He stated that is how it is usually done at festivals. He stated the only
difference was Seyth wanted to remove the entire row. He stated it stretched from the Texans Practice Field
Fence all the way to the Green Lot fence. He stated Seyth did not want any obstructions. He stated this
conversation was in person. He stated he had three calls throughout the day. He stated that was one of the calls.
M. Barrow asked if he received any phone calls or texts messages about the incident throughout the concert. Mr.
Silberstein stated he did not. M. Barrow asked where he went after the egress gate was opened. He stated he
stayed in the egress gate area for a few minutes after it was open. He stated he reached out to Leah who stated

she was with Chief Satterwhite. He stated she was with Seyth. He stated they were at merch. He stated he went
there. He stated he saw she was not there so he texted her. He stated Leah told him that they had moved Stage
Right near main medical. He stated when he got there, she came out and walked him back. He stated about five
minutes later was when he found out what had happened. He stated the chief was there and everybody else was.
He stated chief is the one that really told him what had happened.
I repeated some of Mr. Silberstein's previous statement to make sure I understood everything correctly. He stated
I understood him correctly. I asked what does he know about Brad Wavra. He stated he works for Live Nation. He
stated Travis Scott is one of Brad's clients on behalf of Live Nation. He stated he did not interact with him much at
the festival. I asked Mr. Silberstein if he could provide contacts for Mr. Beckler. He stated he could provide
contacts for Mr. Beckler to Mr. Downey and have them sent to me. I thanked Mr. Silberstein for that. He stated
Chuck tours. He stated he does not think he is out of the country right now and will try to forward the contact
information.
I asked about the EOP and how it mentions that he, Seyth, and Emily can shut down the show. I asked why he
thinks the verbiage is in there. Mr. Silberstein stated that it is funny that I brought that up. He stated going forward,
EOP will change for events across America. He stated there will be a case work study; there is no question. He
stated he and Chris have gone over this multiple times. He stated he has tried to understand why the EOP reads
the way it does. He stated he understands it might be a festival authoritative hierarchy document. He stated it is
complex. He stated something that is manageable or containable such as a weather condition, there are steps. He
stated the plug is not pulled immediately. He stated that can create cause and effect. He stated who would know
what would happen. He stated there are steps to follow. He stated anyone that wants to shut down the show will
have to go through steps.
Mr. Silberstein stated if a problem comes up and he knows it is a problem, his first call is to Seyth or to call
Command to get to Seyth. He stated he will standby until he gets a call from Seyth. He stated when Seyth gets a
call, he will take the next steps. He stated if the show is going to shut down, they will make sure there is staff at
the gates. He stated they are going to clear all of the obstructions. He stated they will get a message or video
played on the video screens pertaining to the message that they want to get out. He stated that is granted if they
still have power. He stated police and fire would get involved. He stated even if it is an immediate decision, PD
and fire would be involved. He stated it is not an immediate action which is why the EOP is head scratching. He
stated he knows the process and understands the process to stop a show. He stated that might be why he is
listed in the EOP.
I asked Mr. Silberstein if he believes you can shut down a show by using certain words in order to reduce the risk
of a riot. He stated he believes that to an extent. He stated every crowd is different. He stated every situation is
different. He stated possibly in this situation, you are going to ask Travis to do it. He stated the kids will
respectfully listen to him. He stated he can speak to the crowd. He stated he could walk off the stage and
someone else walk on. He stated they do have protocols in place but it is not just one person to make the call. He
stated for him to shut down the show, he will speak to the Festival Safety Management Director. He stated then
that person gets the with the chief and they decide whether or not to shut down the show. He stated they decide
how to handle it. I asked for these show stopping protocols or plans to be set; was he privy to any of those
meetings.
Mr. Silberstein stated that conversation would have to be had with Seyth. He stated some things changed after
the Las Vegas shooting for plans. He stated he does not have those conversations as the promoter. He stated it is
up to law enforcement, security, venue security, and the artist for those plans. We then clarified Mr. Silberstein
stated Seyth Boardman's communication was done over the radio and not the phone.
Mr. Downey stated he wanted to cover another issue which came up in an interview with his other client; Steve
Drymalski. Mr. Downey mentioned the ratchet straps on the barricades. Brent Silberstein stated after he spoke
with Seyth about the fence removal around 06:00 PM. He stated approximately thirty minutes after that, he was
called by the barricade representative; John Wagner. He stated he went to Mr. Wagner who pointed out there was
potential barricade separation. He stated as an industry standard, they use ratchet straps. He this allows the
barricade to have some movement. Mr. Downey stated he believes the confusion is we had him begin at the
Travis Scott concert but the ratchet strap incident occurred before the concert. He stated that was approximately

D.) Interactions with Brad Wavra
On November 17, 2021, I attempted to get a hold of Brad Wavra through Live Nation as they had requested we
make requests to speak with any/all individuals through them first. Attorney Bosworth responded on November
19, 2021 that Mr. Wavra is in the process of retaining his own counsel.
On January 11, 2022, Attorney M. Bosworth told us Attorney Ronald Machen was representing Brad Wavra. On
January 27, 2022, I reached out to Attorney R. Machen. On January 28, 2022 we set a meeting for February 3,
2022 where Brad Wavra was absent. On February 3, 2022, the meeting was with Attorneys Ronald Machen and
Mac Secrest. The meeting was brief. Wavra's attorneys requested a questionnaire for their client and were
concerned Mr. Wavra was a target in the investigation. After the phone conversation, I sent over the questionnaire
to Ronald Machen.
On February 16, 2022, I followed up with Mr. Machen. He asked if we could speak on the 18th which I missed the
e-mail. On February 26, 2022, I requested a follow up and Mac Secrest stated he was dealing with a death in the
family. On March 1, 2022, I told Mr. Secrest about the subpoenas being sent out for their client and possibly
themselves. Mr. Secrest acknowledged.
On March 9, 2022, Attorneys Ronald Machen and Mac Secrest asked if we could set a meeting to discuss Brad
Wavra on March 17, 2022. On March 17, 2022, I spoke with Mac Secrest and Ronald Machen. I assured them
Brad Wavra was not a target of the investigation. They told me Brad Wavra did see people receiving first aid.
They also stated members of Brad Wavra's family was at the venue. They stated they are concerned for their
client by having him speak to us. I asked if I could at least provide three questions to their client and they stated
they would ponder the request. I told them that I wish I could share what I know about the investigation to make
them more comfortable to have their client speak with us but could not provide everything for much of the
information is classified. They stated Brad Wavra is afraid to make a statement. I told them we could proceed by
having Michael Levine talking to them. After we ended the conversation, I spoke with A.D.A. Levine. He stated he
would reach out to the attorneys.
As of April 8, 2022; we have not been able to get an agreed interview with Brad Wavra. On April 8, 2022, I asked if

I sent an e-mail to twilliams on March 29, 2022. He later gave me a phone call. He stated he represents Brianna
Rodriguez and her family. He stated they are very private and do not want to provide a copy of the video because
it records her death. He stated they are concerned that it will come out and become public. He stated I should not
need it because there is plenty of footage out there recording the incident. I assured Mr. Williams that the video is
important to the investigation to learn her exact location and what time she went down. He stated the recording is
of her in the stands and it shows mostly faces. He stated she then falls and it is about thirty seconds of her
screaming that she cannot breath until she essentially dies. I asked if we could at least view the recording without
recording it ourselves to make notes. He stated he will check with the client. I told him that it is possible the
evidence will eventually become subpoenaed or a search warrant can be done. He stated he will get back to me.

Endangering Welfare of Minor, Disorderly Conduct, and Inciting Riot. I contacted the Rogers Police Department
for those records by calling the Rogers Police Department in Arkansas who told me to e-mail
[email protected] . I did so.
On March 10, 2022, I received a response from Shannon White; Records Supervisor of Rogers Police
Department. She stated there are no documents responsive to my request. I decided to call the Rogers Police
Department and requested to speak with Shannon White. I was able to speak with her. She stated the documents
I have requested are sealed and I would have to go through an attorney to receive them. I forwarded this issue to
A.D.A. M. Levine and he stated he would handle the matter on behalf of the investigation.
R.) Interactions with Chicago Police Department
On March 15, 2022, I decided to reach out with the Chicago Police Department's Homicide Division. I noted there
are multiple online news articles that mention Travis Scott getting arrested in Chicago at the Lollapalooza festival
on August 1, 2015. I noticed there was not an arrest documented on NCIC. I was concerned there was a situation
similar to the Arkansas Police Department's sealed documents.
I was able to speak with Lieutenant M. Moreth of Chicago PD. He asked me to e-mail him for verification that I am
a police officer and stated he would help out if he could. Lt. M. Moreth later provided Chicago Police Department
Incident Report HY364987. It is a police report documenting what occurred on August 1, 2015. It is possible the
charges were dropped. I saw a Denise M. Robinson with the date of birth was also arrested in the
incident. I ran her criminal history and saw she was not convicted of the charges according to NCIC. I have
attached the police report to the case file.
S.) Interactions with SIU Division and Lieutenant L. Menendez (Disk 1F)
M. Barrow and I have worked closely with Lt. L. Menendez as far as sharing information and keeping up to date
on the case. We learned Lieutenant L. Menendez played a role in finding out what happened at the HEC when the
911 Calls came in. We have asked lieutenant to create a verbal recorded statement about what happened so we
can attach it to the case file / investigative PowerPoint presentation. Lt. L. Menendez stated he would do the
recording on March 8, 2022.
On March 24, 2022, Lt. L. Menendez provided the 911 Calls Explanation. It will be attached to the case file. The
statement is as follows:
"This is Lt. Luis Menendez-Sierra and I am currently assigned to the Homicide Division, Special Investigations
Unit. I was assigned to the Travis Scott investigation and will discuss the calls received at the Houston Emergency
Center or HEC on the night of the event. On November 24, 2021 Assistant Chief Jones, Commander Deese and
I, met with the leadership team at the HEC center which was led by Director Robert Mock. In this meeting HFD
leadership at the HEC was also present and consisted of Sr. Communications Captain Matthew Lloyd and
Communications Captain Enrique Guerra. We discussed needing all the calls received during that night and

discussed protocol for major events.
On January 6, 2022 I received an envelope at my office with an excel spreadsheet containing 208 case numbers
and an audio CD with all the audio recordings. The spreadsheet had a note which advised that the list consisted
of the call slips being withheld for open records requests to the HEC. I began to review the call slips and found
that the calls were from midnight to midnight on November 5th. There were also a few other calls included that
were on other days that were related call backs for calls made on that day. These calls were found to be
unrelated. After reviewing each call, I found that there were in fact 234 separate calls and that the number went
down to 208 after calls were duplicated to each other because of the same caller/ same phone number/ or call
back. Of the 234 calls I found that 84 calls were in some way related to the Travis Scott incident. There were an
additional 38 calls that I was unable to determine were Travis Scott related due to no audio or no details on the
call slip. The rest of the 166 call slips were found to be in the vicinity of the concert but not related to the concert.
As I focused on the calls that occurred during the concert I found the first call in relation to people being injured to
have come in at 2107 hours. The slip showed a time stamp of 2109 but through the use of the NICE system I was
able to verify the 2107 time stamp. In total I found there to be 25 call slips that were of people in the crowd with
the last call coming in at 2137 hours. Of those 25 calls I was able to identify 15 individual callers. There were 25
total audio recordings due to call backs or repeat calls by the same people.
All the calls were received by the call takers at HEC and forwarded to the Southwest dispatcher who either
duplicated the call or sent them to Citywide dispatch who duplicated the call. From our discussion with HEC center
personnel and our experience with calls being received on a daily basis it was found that this was standard
protocol. When a major incident occurs, there are numerous calls that come in and once an initial police response
is sent, then the rest of the calls are duplicated to the main case number. There was a call slip generated early the
morning of November 5th and the officers assigned to the event were placed under that case number. Due to a
large police presence at the location, the calls were duplicated as they would have been for any other major
event. 13 of the individual callers were reached out to and only one person responded. The remaining two of the
15 were default 911 numbers which we could not reach out to.
The SW and CW dispatcher were interviewed and they advised that they followed protocol and duplicated the
multiple cals as well as advising the command center."

F.) Julian Cassady - Videographer (Disk 1F)
On 01/27/22 I e-mailed Julian Cassady. Mr. Cassady sent an e-mail on 01/18/22 stating he is willing to talk. On
February 4, 2022, I sent a follow up e-mail to Julian Cassady. February 4, 2022, I interviewed Julian Cassady
after I had requested a statement from him a few times. Below is the following statement:
Julian Cassady
February 4, 2022
Julian Cassady introduced himself after calling me. I explained why we were trying to reach out to him pertaining
to Astroworld. I asked if we could get a statement. Mr. Cassady stated that would be fine. He stated he worked as
a photographer / videographer hired by Scoremore for the event. He stated he was hired as a third-party
contractor. He stated he was to shoot the video recap. He stated he believes I spoke with Zach Villafana. He
stated he is his neighbor and mentioned he spoke with us. Mr. Cassady went on to say they passed on all the
footage. He stated he kind of avoided because of the situation, he did not view the footage afterwards. He stated
that is because how everything happened. He stated he is one of the ones closest to the stage. He stated his full
attention was directed towards the performance. He stated he spent a lot of his time in the cat walk area between
the barricades.
Julian Cassady stated there were various police and security guards around him in the area. He stated he has
shot Travis Scott in the past and they are usually kicked out of the area. He stated in the past, they had five
minutes or so before they are kicked out. He stated the fact that he was able to remain in the area was sort of
unusual. He stated he counted his blessings. He stated because of that, there were multiple people around him
moving. He stated he was focused on what he was doing. He stated he wanted to look like he was doing his job
and so people would not interrupt him. He stated he was supposed to be in the area but at times, it is as though
that does not matter. He stated even with the top level access, you can get ejected.
Mr. Cassady stated he had put his blinders up to work and was not aware of anything going wrong around him at
the show. He stated he feels a little guilty about that afterwards. He stated he does this job for a living and putting
it into context, he became comfortable in his surroundings, maybe a bit more than he should have been. He stated
he was very close to the stage and was not interacting with the stage. He stated he might have done two panning
shots over the crowd. He stated the show appeared to have ended early but he is not sure how late the show was
supposed to go.
Mr. Cassady stated he did not know about what had happened until approximately 5 minutes after the show. He
stated his team consisted of fifteen or so people. He stated the digital technician that worked on the team had left
the office and had a much different experience than he had. He stated he was the first person from the team that
he had come into contact with after the concert. He stated that was when he found out things had not gone as well
as he had thought. Julian Cassady stated he was not aware of seeing anything that would have thrown up red
flags. He stated it was not his first time shooting Travis Scott.
He stated Travis Scott's shows can be crazy, manic, congested and he has become accustomed to people being
pulled over due to too much alcohol or drugs. He stated that comes with the territory. He stated he does not
believe the police surrounding him knew of anything going on either from the location they were at.
I asked Mr. Cassady if he is hired by Scoremore, why would he get kicked out of areas when he was hired to be
there to film. He stated as far as respect goes in the concert world, it is a lack of respect. He stated at the end of
the day, it is the Artist team that goes above everything else. He stated in this case, he is not sure about the levels
of access that existed. He stated it is not abnormal to be removed from the catwalk / barricade area. He stated at
this festival, they were not removed from the area. He stated it has become something that he would expect even
though they have authorization to be there.
I asked him if he knew the camera-man that was on the platform in the back. He stated he does not know him and
has seen the video multiple times. He stated there was another team with Apple Music operating the Livestream.
He stated he was working towards marketing for next year with his footage. He stated he is not familiar with
anyone on that team.

Narrative
I asked if there was anyone else that he knows of that I could speak to. He stated he knows we spoke to Zach. He
stated he would assume we had the names of the people on his team. He asked if we have spoken with Grant
Warring. M. Barrow stated yes. He stated he would be the person with the most answers. He stated Grant was the
liaison between Scoremore, the promoter and the team. He stated after he left the show, he felt as though it had
been one of the more tame Travis Scott shows that he had been at. He stated that might have been due to where
he was. He stated he has heard other areas were not as calm.
Mr. Cassady went on to say that he had a radio and never felt the need to call anything in. He stated it was his
first time there so he was not as connected with everyone else. I asked if he heard anything on the radio. He
stated no. He stated maybe he did not comprehend what was said if anything on the radio. He stated for his team,
they were not on the same channel as medical or security. He stated it was their team. He stated he did not see
anything either. I told him complacency is a normalcy in professions. He stated he hopes if there is anything to
gain from this incident is that people are more aware in the future.
I thanked Mr. Cassady for his time. He stated it was no problem. He stated Live Nation lawyers have reached out
to a lot of people on his team. He stated from his perspective, he is trying to not get involved with that type of
thing. He stated he has not spoken with anyone else but us. I asked what Live Nation saying is. He stated around
the same time that I reached out to him, he received a one sentence e-mail from Live Nation. He stated he has
gotten a second e-mail. He stated he does not know why they would need to speak with him. He stated their goal
is a different goal from our goal so he has not spoken with them. I thanked Mr. Cassady for reaching out.
(This statement is paraphrased and not verbatim, refer to audio recording for full and complete statement.)
On March 6, 2022 after typing up this interview, I reached out to Mr. Cassady again to ask if the Technician is Mr.
Warring or someone else that we need to speak to. As of April 8, 2022, I have not heard back from Mr. Cassady.
G.) Steve Drymalski - Production - Festival Production Manager (Disk 1F)
Per Attorney Eric Nichols - Steve Drymalski:
He is a production manager, and helped to oversee activity and interaction with artists performing on the "second
stage" (the stage at which other artists performed prior to the Travis Scott performance on the "main stage." He
worked the production on the "second stage" until the performances on that stage ended, at around 8:40 p.m. or
so. He went over to the "main stage" during the Travis Scott performance, and was in the "stage left" area below
the main stage. When in that area he observed a person getting "compression treatment" by medical
professionals, and was involved in helping to make sure that the area was clear for that treatment to occur. He
did not observe and was not made aware of any other injury/health issues with other persons in attendance until
after the show ended.
On January 27, 2022, Attorney Chris Downey told me that he is representing Steve Drymalski. He stated he also
responded to M. Barrow. We eventually set up a meeting with Mr. Drymalski for February 8, 2022 at
approximately 1000 hours. We conducted an interview with Mr. Drymalski which can be read below:
Steve Drymalski
February 08, 2022
I introduced myself to Steve Drymalski and told him why we were reaching out. I explained how I got his contact
information from the Live Nation documents. Steve Drymalski stated his title for the festival was Festival
Production Manager. He stated he had to run the production logistics for the Second Stage. He stated 1826 took
over production for Stage 1. He stated as the festival progressed into day two, then the festival would have fallen
under his oversight. He stated that day, his involvement was minimal for that night. He stated most of his time was
spent on Stage 2. He stated they were loading in Tame Impala which was the headliner for the second night. I
asked when the concert started for Travis Scott where was he at. He stated at Stage 2 or coming back from Stage
2. He stated he does not remember the particular start of the show. I asked if he ever went over to watch the
concert at Stage 1. He stated he did speak with a site coordinator. He stated they went to get ratchet straps near
the medical tents. He stated he brought them over to the Main Stage who handed them off to security. He stated

Narrative
that was prior to the show. He stated he was dealing with the tour manager for Tame Impala for some issues they
had getting into the festival.
He stated at some point, he did make it back to his office. He stated his office was located behind the Main Stage.
He stated when he got there, he sat there for a little while. He stated a production assistant that came to him from
1826. He stated he mentioned there was a camera operator outside of house that was being harassed. He stated
security was not doing anything about it. He stated no problem and went out there. He stated he went down the
main chute. He stated at point, he saw nothing was going on other than the concert. He stated when he got to the
last t point in the barricade, in the proximity of being in front of house. He stated there were a lot of people. He
stated he started to push himself through. He stated he came up to an EMT and security guard near a person
doing compressions on a person. He stated he helped security push people back to give them room to help doing
compressions. He stated when they lifted the person out, they pushed towards the barricade to get in front of
house. He stated there was a medical golf cart there. He stated they handed the person over to the medical cart.
He stated that was pretty much the extent of them being in that venue. He stated he then went back to the Second
Stage. He stated he met with the Tame Impala Tour Manager. He stated they went back to his office. He stated
he did not know until after the show was over, he saw on social media that there were problems with the show. He
stated they were told to vacate the office because the area was going to be designated as a crime scene.
M. Barrow asked why was he asked to provide ratchet straps. He stated they use ratchet straps sometimes to
tighten up barricades. He stated they are used as extra reinforcements. He stated he did not know what the straps
were going to be used for. M. Barrow asked if he knows the 1826 employee that came in. He stated he does not
remember her name. He stated it was a female. M. Barrow asked if he could describe her physical characteristics.
He stated she was approximately 5'07". He stated she was a white female and does not remember her hair color.
M. Barrow asked if she provided any other context about the cameraman being harassed. He stated nothing
other than the cameraman was being harassed, he asked security, and nothing was being done. He stated this
was relayed over the radio. We showed Mr. Drymalski a diagram of the venue. He described where he was at.
M. Barrow asked if he could provide a physical description of the victim. Mr. Drymalski stated he had dark hair and
had vomited on himself. He stated he appeared unconscious. He stated he thinks he had a white or light gray
colored t-shirt. He stated he does not remember anything else. I asked if he has seen pictures of the victims and
would be able to determine the individual he saw to be one of the victims. He stated he did look but was unable to
tell. M. Barrow asked if he was ever able to link up with the camera man. He stated he was not able to. He stated
the last thing he did in that area was help get the person on the golf cart. He stated one of the EMTs grabbed the
back of his shirt. He stated he plowed through the crowd to get to the chute. He stated he did not have any
interactions that anyone indicated a larger problem. He stated he did not see anything that would indicate a larger
problem. He stated he assumed the person down was an OD due to the vomiting. He stated he did not see any
indication of a problem in the areas he was in. He stated he believed the person down was an isolated incident.
M. Barrow asked how many concerts has he been involved with. He stated thousands. He stated he started in
1987. He stated he has been touring since the late 1990's. M. Barrow asked what was his opinion about the
concert setup. Mr. Drymalski stated he did not see anything wrong with it. He stated the way everything was set
up was standard. I asked if he has worked with Travis Scott before. He stated he has not. He stated he was hired
by Scoremore and Live Nation to work out there. I asked if has worked with Scoremore before. He stated he has
not. He stated he used to be a Live Nation employee for many years. Mr. Drymalski stated he did not see anything
in that festival that was overtly problematic.
We thanked Mr. Drymalski for his time. I terminated the interview. Attorney Chris Downey asked to resume the
interview for a follow up question.
Mr. Downey asked Mr. Drymalski about being aware when the Travis Scott show ended. Mr. Drymalski stated he
was aware when the show stopped. He stated he was not looking at a clock when that moment stopped. He
stated he does not feel the show stopped early or later. Mr. Downey asked how long was the time period from
when he found the person down getting CPR before he became aware the show had ended. Mr. Drymalski stated
it was twenty to thirty minutes. He stated he went to Stage 2 to deal with Tame Impalas load in. He stated he went
back to his office after. Mr. Downey asked if he went to his office before or after the show ended. He stated he is
not sure. Mr. Downey asked if it was possible the show was ended at Stage 2. Mr. Drymalski stated it was
possible. Mr. Downey asked if he went through the chute twice. Mr. Drymalski stated he went back the way he

came. Mr. Downey asked while he went back the way he came, he did not see anyone coming over the barriers or
asking for help. Mr. Drymalski stated he did not. Mr. Downey asked if he has experience with dealing with people
in the past that had overdosed or fallen out. Mr. Drymalski stated he has. He stated he has seen people vomited
in the past which is what lead him to the conclusion that perhaps the individual he had seen down receiving CPR
might be an overdose. We then terminated the interview.

would be fine.
On March 11, 2022, I interviewed along with M. Barrow. This interview was interesting because Attorney Jason
Hartman decided to act as the interviewer while M. Barrow and I was the audience. We of course were able to ask
questions to clear anything up. This had not been done before in the investigation.
Below is the following statement synopsis:
Joe Sanchez Interview
March 11, 2022

Mr. Hartman asked about anyone trying to stop the show. Mr. Sanchez stated it was not part of their job
description and even if they knew of something going wrong. He stated they would have been unable to. He
stated they did not have access to Travis Scott's Team nor did they have the credentials to get to them backstage.
Mr. Hartman asked if they heard or seen anyone try to stop the show. Joe Sanchez responded with towards the
end of the show, a couple of the employees in the production trailer overheard Houston Police Officers coming
into a trailer to be able to hear themselves in private because it was very loud in the area. He stated the
employees reported hearing the officers discuss the situation is becoming out of control and that they need to stop
the show. He stated one them said they cannot because there would be a riot. He stated then they left.
Mr. Sanchez stated no one came to him directly to stop the show. Mr. Hartman asked if there were photographs
and videos. He stated pretty much all of them have photos of the build phase. He stated no one really has photos
of the show or of the crowd. He stated that media is for the construction of the construction of the set itself. Mr.
Hartman then opened the floor for us to begin asking questions. He also offered to get us those construction
photos. M. Barrow told him that we would look into it and reach out if we feel the need to get those photos.
M. Barrow asked which production trailer were they located in. Mr. Sanchez stated they had two trailers. He stated
their trailers were stage left. He stated they were behind the fence line. He stated they were in the backstage
compound. M. Barrow asked if they were on the street. He stated they were on a gravel pathway. He stated it was
right behind the barricade line of the far left stage wing. He stated if you looked out towards the crowd, they were
approximately 100 feet left and 30 feet back. He stated all of his employees were housed there. He stated they did
not have a role during the show. He stated he watched some of the concert with Jim Webb on a live feed. He
stated they did not have a role during the show and were more about building the feed. M. Barrow asked if he
meant he was in the Apple trailer. He stated no. He stated they were in the IMAG trailer. He stated Apple did have
trailers in the vicinity.
I asked when HPD came into the neighbor trailer, did he know what approximate time that was. He stated it had to
be approximately three quarters of the way through the show. He stated Daniel Hellsten came in into their trailer
appearing flustered and said the cops said something is going on in the crowd in their other trailer. He stated that
was approximately 45 minutes in. He stated he thinks he literally came in there from that location. He stated he
remembered he came out of the trailer then. He stated at some point, there was a non specific rumor that two kids
had died. He stated that rumor stayed in place until he was in his hotel at two or three in the morning. He stated
he learned the situation was much worse then. I thanked Mr. Sanchez for his time. I terminated the interview.
On April 9, 2022, I requested to speak with Daniel Hellsten from 1826 by speaking to Jason Hartman.

as a courtesy. Lisa Mantella responded that they are still working on getting the employees together. On March
24, 2022, I submitted another e-mail to Lisa Mantella. As of April 7th, I have not received a response. I sent a final
e-mail on April 7, 2022 with Lisa Mantella later contacting me. We had a brief phone conversation. She stated her
client Pyrotecnico has been busy and does not want me to have the impression that they do not wish to
cooperate. She stated she has spoken to some of the employees and has learned their job is very focused driven
to make sure they hit fireworks queues / operations on time. She stated there are approximately twenty-plus
employees that were there. I asked Attorney L. Mantella if I could send three questions to her to present before
her client to have answered. I said depending on their response will help decide if we need a further conversation
or follow up with said employee. She stated that would be fine. I later submitted the following questions for
Pyrotecnico:
1) Did anyone from Pyrotecnico see anyone receiving medical aid at the Travis Scott Concert? If so, can they
provide ethnicity and gender?
2) Did anyone tell a Pyrotecnico employee to shut down the show? If so, what were the next steps taken?
3) Did anyone from Pyrotecnico hear or see anyone talking about shutting down the show or mention medical
emergencies?

helping some co-workers at the ADA Platforms. He stated they were pulling people up onto the platform. He
stated that was because people were coming from Stage 2 to Stage 1. He stated before it got real crazy, he told
some of his co-workers that they needed to get out of there. He stated they had been dealing with "these kids"
since 6:00 A.M. and fence jumping since 09:00 AM. He stated that happened around 07:45 PM to 08:00 PM. He
stated their radios really started going off after that. He stated he and his team was off site at that point.
He stated they were pulling people onto the ADA Platform because there were distressed people. He stated many
people had come over Stage 2 to Stage 1. He stated the area was already filled up to capacity. He stated they
had to pull people up onto the platform. I asked if that is customary. He stated at first, they started seating people
in the ADA section. He stated his job was to get more chairs for people in the ADA section. He stated he had a
gator. He stated they were having to move things by hand because it was so crowded in that area. He stated

the future. He stated Sascha and Lucas were not at Astroworld. He stated he could provide answers or ask them
about any questions that I may have. He stated they were watching the event on live stream. Eric represents
Scoremore as an entity. I asked if they could look into employees of Scoremore and could report to me if they
heard / saw anything at the festival.
I recorded this conversation as I was doing this interview on behalf of M. Barrow. I did not really know what the
interview would entail. It was mainly discussing the roles of Dan and Eric Nichols as attorneys. We talked about
different things in the case such as 1826, Sascha and Lucas, etc. We discussed some of the property that was
tagged because Mr. Nichols was concerned about camera equipment being in police custody. I spoke releasing
the description of the contents in the tagged property with Sgt. M. Brady. We decided it would not be harmful to
the investigation to mention names of the narcotics or if cameras are listed in the property because the autopsies
had been completed.

Introduction
****************
Detective J. Caten and I have conducted several interviews throughout the course of this investigation. This
supplement focuses on the guest Artist at Astroworld: Drake, members of Travis Scott's team, and members of
the Audio crew with Clair Global. These interviews served in our continued fact-finding efforts in this case. All of
the interviews were recorded and a copy will be kept with the case file.
Aubrey "Drake" Graham
DOB:
Artist
Date of Interview: 11/20/2021
Detective Caten and I coordinated an interview with Drake regarding his participation as a musical guest during
the Travis Scott concert. Drake's lawyer agreed to interview with us over Zoom. Present for the interview were:
Stanton Larry Stein (Lawyer), Jeff Ray (Civil Lawyer in Houston), "Future" (Drake's Manager). The following is a
summary of our interview with Drake:
We prefaced the interview by explaining how we received this case and what our purpose for interviewing was. It
was explained that he was not the target of this investigation but rather a person that we needed to interview in
order to obtain insight and perspective relative to the concert and the incident that occurred. Drake and the others
participants seemed to be understanding of our goals and agreed to continue the interview.
Regarding how he came to be involved with Astroworld, Drake stated that he reached out to Travis Scott
personally and they talked about bringing him on as a guest for this concert. He stated that they each got with
their staff who worked out the details of putting the two of them together for this concert. He stated that Travis has
been a guest performer at some of his concerts, but this would be the first time that he made a guest appearance
at one of Travis's shows.
I asked him about how his and Travis' performances differed. He stated that anytime a special or surprise guest
takes the stage, the crowd is going to go wild. He stated in regards to Travis Scott that he was a high-energy
performer. He said that was Travis' style and his appeal was the energy he brought to his performances.
I asked him if he had ever seen medical emergencies or people being pulled out of the crowd at one of his
performances. He stated that he has been fortunate that nothing like that has happened at any of his
performances. He stated that he has attended festivals before where that have been medical issues, but nothing
like the outcome of this event. I asked him what was the protocol for him and his staff should a medical
emergency occur during one of his performances. He said that he could not really answer that question because it
has never happened before at one of his performances.
I asked him about how communications worked during his shows while he was on stage. He stated that he would
normally be able to communication with his DJ/Manger. He stated that the communication was one-way, his DJ
could communicate to him but he could not communicate back. He stated that the in-ear piece to him, was mostly
there so that he could hear the music.
Activities during the Day
He stated that he checked into his hotel earlier the day of the festival. He sent a member of this staff out to get

clothing for the concert which in this case was a hunting store for his camouflage. He stated that he arrived at the
festival at 7:30 PM and was dropped off by the trailers. He hung out there for a while, preparing the show, and
meeting with people that he had not seen for a while due to COVID-19.
The Concert
When his time came to perform, he was escorted under the stage and onto the lift which brought him directly on
stage. While on stage, the believed that he performed four songs before he got back on the lift and left the stage.
From there, he was ushered directly to the vehicles and they left the area to avoid any traffic.
It was asked if he noticed any problems going on in the crowd while he was on stage. He stated that it was difficult
to see from his vantage point. He stated there were a lot of lights and this was his first time ever on that stage
because he did not get a chance to do a rehearsal. He stated that he was also focusing on his foot placement
because he was concerned about his knee which he had recently had surgery.
We asked if he ever heard from the crowd to stop the show. He stated that he did not hear that. He explained that
the ear piece drowns out a lot of outside sound by allowing the wearer to listen to the music clearly so that they
can keep track with where they are during the set and avoid errors. I asked him about the message that Travis
Scott told us that he received which in summary asked him to end the show after the guest (Drake). He stated that
he did not receive that message or was unaware of it.
Later that night, after the performance, he stated that he met up with Travis Scott. He stated that they did not
know at that point in time that something had happened at the concert. He stated that he was informed by his
manager, Future. He was unable to say the exact time he was told about it. He later said that at around 2 AM, he
was searching social media and found out more about the extent of what happened.
Drake's lawyer reiterated that while Drake was getting ready for the performance in the trailer area, no security
every came to him to brief him about any situation with the crowd. I asked if that would have been considered
normal for any show for security to that. Drake stated that it would not be normal and it might only happen if there
was a problem or a security concern. We also asked if he could see the ambulance cart in the crowd while he was
on stage. He stated that he did not recall seeing it and that the lighting made it very difficult to see anything.
I asked Future where he was during the show. He stated that he was on stage in the DJ booth with the other DJ,
Chase B. He stated that he never looked out into the crowd. He focused all of his attention on Drake because he
knew that Drake had never been on that stage and he was just off an injury so he was nervous for him. He did not
know any other issues were going on.
End of Interview
Interviews with Michael Brown and David Stromberg
*************************************************
During the course of the investigation we found that it was necessary to revisit and clarify previous statements
made by members of Travis Scott's team. Michael Brown is the head of Travis's personal security and was
present for both the festival and our interview with Travis. He made a few comments during that interview and at
this time we wanted to give Michael the opportunity to provide his own individual statement. As for David
Stromberg, we felt like some of his previous statements needed clarification. I coordinated with Kent Schaffer, the
attorney representing Travis Scott, who facilitated these interviews.
Michael Brown
Travis Scott Personal Security
The interviews were conducted over zoom and recorded on an audio recording device. A copy will be kept with
the case file. The following is a summary of our interview with Michael Brown:
Michael Brown stated that he was the head of security with his sole duties being the personal protection and
security of Travis Scott. He stated that he would be around Travis at all times and for this festival he was
accompanied by two others. He stated that he was not involved with the planning and venue security coordinating
prior to the event. He was strictly assigned to Travis Scott. At times he would communicate with another person

named Jim, whose job was to clear a path for them to walk and to notify him if there were any issues.
He stated that his security detail was fluid. There was no set plan during the day were they would go, they would
move when Travis moved. He spent a lot of time in the artist trailer area during the day. He stated that he on
method of communication with the other security entities at the venue.
The Concert
Michael described how he received Travis earlier in the day and during the time leading up to the concert, he
stated that he escorted him from his trailer to the stage. Once there, he positioned himself in the pit directly in front
of the stage, almost standing directly underneath the stage. The other two members of Travis's security were on
either side of the stage.
When the concert started, he stated that he observed it to be like any other show he has been to. He stated that
people were standing around and EMT personnel were on standby, and the crowd was behaving as he was used
to seeing them. Around him were other Officers surrounding the main stage. He could see Security Personnel
who were occasionally pulling people out of the crowd. I asked him if he knew Seyth Boardman and he stated that
he knew who he was could not recall if he saw him in that area.
I asked him who had the ability to speak directly to Travis while he was on stage. He stated that the only person
with that ability was his auto-tune guy who was located backstage. This would be the person who could talk to
Travis through Travis's ear piece. He stated that he knew this person by the name Bilou who also goes by "Bizee".
To his knowledge, no one else had to ability to talk to Travis in that manner.
I asked him about the occasion when a person was having a medical emergency near the stage in one of the VIP
pits. He recalled that moment and he stated that Travis stopped the show while that person was treated. I asked
him about some individuals who came on stage right after that happened. He stated that those were fans and that
part was spontaneous. He stated that was a normal occurrence.
Michael stated that he spend the remainder of the show moving around in the pit. I asked him if and when he was
made aware that the show was going to end early or be stopped. He stated that he was informed by Seyth
Boardman briefly. He believed that Seyth told him, "we may have to stop the show". He was not sure if that was
exactly what he said or if he said anything else before or after that, but that was what he remembered. He could
not recall if Drake was on-stage with Travis at the point.
I asked him about the photos that he took on his phone with a person receiving medical treatment. He stated that
it was a different person than the one that was pulled from the area in front of the stage. He stated that he
encountered this person down in the aisle that separated the pits. He believed the person on the ground was
either Hispanic or Middle Eastern and there were at least two medical personnel attending to him.
Michael stated that he made his way to Front of House and located David Stromberg who was working in a tent.
He stated that could not hear each other very well and they were both wearing headphones. He repeated what
Seyth told him and David directed him by pointing back at the stage. Michael believed that this meant to go back
to the stage to communicate with Travis.
End of Interview
David Stromberg
Travis Scott Manager
David spent the early portion of the interview talking about how Travis and the organization have been doing since
the last time we spoke. He assured us that they were not nervous because they did not do anything wrong and
they were anxious to their musical career back on track. Nevertheless, they continue to be understanding and
patient as the process continues.
The Concert
During the concert, he stated that he was located under a small tented area at the Front of House location. He
stated that one of his roles as manager is to be the creative director as well in charge of the timing of the
pyrotechnics and other sounds. He stated that this duty is unique and normally someone else does it. He stated
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:15 Page 4 of 14
Suppl No
1490724-21 0054
Narrative
that Travis trusts him to do that job because he is very particular about the way things look and sound.
He stated that he was equipped with a headset that was primarily for communications with the other people that
were with him in the booth. He stated that his tent was on a three foot riser or platform. His field of view was the
stage, the back of the barricade directly in front of him, and only a portion of the crowd. He stated that he would
lose sight of Travis if he went too far left or right on the stage, but generally he could see him most of the time. For
further reference, he stated that he could not see the camera crane or any of the camera platforms which he
stated were located towards the center of the media area.
I asked him who would have the capability to speak to Travis directly while he was on stage. He stated that there
was only one person that could do that and in this case it was "Bizzy". He stated that Bizzy operated backstage
and would be in charge of the auto tune portion of the performance. The most common issue that would arise
would be with sound and Bizzy's job was to correct the sound in real-time and communicate with Travis regarding
any adjustments. He stated that if someone wanted to convey a message to Travis they would have to use the
microphone at Bizzy's location or Bizzy would have to communicate it himself. Bizzy's real name is Bilal Joseph.
His overall impression of the show/concert was that it went very well. He felt like everything was executed properly
and afterword's there was a lot of congratulating amongst them, the creative team, and all of the members of the
organization. To him, it was a regular show. As far as people being pulled out during any festival, not just this one,
he stated that it was a common occurrence and it was not alarming if and when it did occur.
I asked him if he interacted with Michael Brown during the show. He stated that he recalled a moment just before
Drake was about to come on stage with Travis, when Michael entered his tent and was asking him if he had a
microphone or way to speak to Travis. He stated that he directed Michael to go back to the stage to find the
correct microphone (Bilel). He stated that he could not recall the exact wording or any other parts of the
conversation he had with Michael Brown. At that point, he stated that it did not register to him that anything
serious was happening and that he was still focused on his creative duties for the show.
He stated that police never came to his area during the show to notify him of anything and he did not see Michael
Brown again until after the show when he then learned that something had happened. He stated that he never
had any communications with Seyth Boardman.
After the show, he went with Michael Brown and Brad Wavra to the medical tent. He stated that he saw people
getting treated and some being loaded into ambulances. While there, he saw the lawyer for Scoremore (Joseph
Stallone) and another person from Live Nation that he did not know. He stated they were talking to Brad Wavra
about sending out a companywide memo regarding the incident. During that same conversation, the lawyers were
talking about the rumor that was going around regarding someone poking people with needles during the concert.
We asked him about Brad Wavra. He stated that he was the promoter from Live Nation. He explained his role in
conjunction with theirs. We asked him about Emily Ockenden and Brent Silberstein. He stated that he interacted
with her around the time the situation arose at the merchandise tent earlier in the day. He stated that he may have
seen Brent in the morning that day but he did not interact with him or Emily during the concert.
After visiting the medical tent, Wavra, Stallone, Brown, and Trey Hicks (a Public Relations person with
Scoremore) got into a car with him and they drove over to the command trailer area. He stated that Silberstein
and another Live Nation employee were there as well.
During the show, he stated that he was never notified that the show was going to be stopped short and for
clarification, other than Michael Brown entering his area, he was never made aware from anyone else that
something was wrong.
Also to clarify his previous statement, he stated that he could see people in front of him coming over the
barricades, but to his estimation, none of them were the people that were later victims (he referenced the
Washington Post article).
I asked him about the people that went on stage during the show. He stated that he went back and watched the
show and learned that those were two fans who were allowed up there so that they could crowd surf. He stated
that in total, the show was stopped/paused three times.

We asked him if Travis completed his set list and if the show as a whole went to completion. He stated that the
show was completed and that Travis did sing all of his songs. He stated that some songs were altered or
shortened, but that was not because of the situation. He stated that there was another artist backstage who had
the potential of going on-stage with Travis after Drake, but that did not happen. David stated that it must have
been due to the direction that Travis received to end the show after Drake. He stated that the extra artist was not
on the set list for this performance, so he was not expected to go on stage.
I asked him who else would be backstage, near the area where Bilel was located. He stated the stage manager
and the production manager would be there. He stated the production manager was Curtis Battles he did not
know the stage manager.

Interview with Bilal "Bizzy" Joseph
**********************************
On March 16th, we held a zoom interview with Bilal Joseph and his lawyers Kent Schaffer and Steve Brodie.
Detective Caten and I were present for the interview via zoom and the interview was recorded. A copy of the
interview will be kept with the case file. The following is a summary of our interview with Bilal Joseph:
Bilal Joseph
DOB:
Auto Tune
Bilal stated his job title was A and R or Audio and Repertoire. He stated that he is tasked primarily with signing
artists to record deals. He scouts talent and works with a variety of artists. He has worked with Sony for four
years. Prior to that, he was working with Travis Scott exclusively. He met several years back and has been
working with him consistently since that time.
For Travis, he manages his Autotune and works on a lot of his shows and sets. He also works as a type of
manager for Travis. As an Autotune manager, he operates a station that can adjust the key to the various notes
that Travis will sing. He explained that every song has a different autotune setting or a different key. His job is to
make real-time adjustments during a show to place each song in the right key according to the preferences of the
performer.
I asked him how Travis has communicated with him in the past during the show if he needed to make an
adjustment to the key/notes. He stated that sometimes Travis would yell back to him at the DJ station or he would
get on the mic and in his own way tell him what key to change it to. During past shows, Bilal stated would be
located somewhere on the stage, and he could view Travis during the performance. For this performance at
Astroworld, he had to be backstage and he had a screen so that he could observe Travis and the show as it was
going on.
I asked Bilal where his area was located during the performance. He stated that if you were on stage and facing
the crowd, he was to the left but back stage.
Day of the Concert
Bilal stated that he spent his time with his family walking around the festival grounds. He stated that he had a
trailer set up next to Travis' and he met with him briefly when they first arrived on the festival grounds.
I asked him if he was made aware or was a witness to any of the incidents that took place during the day at the
main entrance or the merchandise tent. He stated he learned about both of those occurrences the next day, but
he did not see them when they happened.
As the day progressed, he headed over to his station backstage about 10 or 15 minutes prior to the Travis Scott
concert. I asked him if he was provided a set list for the performance. He stated that he had some things like that
compiled in his phone that he could reference during the show. I asked him if Travis typically stuck to the set list.
He stated that every show is subject to real-time changes and that Travis sometimes would not tell him when a
change was about to happen and it was his job to make any necessary adjustments depending upon which song
was being sung.

The Concert
I asked him about his work area again and if there was anyone helping him or around him during the concert. He
stated that he was by himself in his area.
I asked him about his communication capabilities. He stated that he had access to a talk-back microphone, but it
was seldom used, and it was essentially just one-way communication. Other than him, he was not sure if anyone
else could communicate to Travis during the show.
During the early portion of the show, he stated that he was nervous because he stated he had an important task in
the show. He stated that he was focused on the music and the transitions and was not paying much attention to
anything else.
During the times when Travis would pause the show, he would switch the auto tune off so that Travis could speak
clearly. He would then wait for the music to continue. He would also observe the monitor but he did not recall
seeing anything of concern.
I asked him if anyone approached him during the show to convey a message to him which he then had to convey
to Travis. He stated that someone approached him but he could not recall what time (his lawyers stated later that
it occurred after the song, "Antidote"). As a further reference, he stated this message came before Drake was sent
on-stage. He stated there were two people that approached him, one of them was Michael Brown and the other
was a guy that he did not know.
The Message
He stated that the guy he did not know asked him if he was able to talk to Travis. He told him that he could. The
guy told him to tell Travis to end the show after Drake. He then got onto the talk-back microphone and told Travis
to end the show after Drake. He stated that Travis did not provide any signal that he received the communication.
I asked him to describe the person that he did not know. He stated that he was not sure if he was a police officer,
but the only thing he could remember about him was that he had a set of headphones on with a microphone
attached and he was a white or Hispanic male.
I asked him if there was any other time after that occasion that he was told by anyone else to convey a message
to Travis. He stated that nobody else came to him. From that point, he stated that he continued to work the auto
tune for the rest of the show. He stated that he was not made aware of what was going on in the crowd or any
type of situation that may have been occurring. He thought that maybe the directive to end the show after Drake
had something to do with curfew, he was not sure.
I mentioned to him the report that members of HPD went to his station to talk to him again about ending the show.
He stated that nobody else came to him and that he did not speak with Police Officers during the show. I asked
him if it was part of the original message he received to end the show at a certain time. He stated that he was not
given a certain time.
I asked him if he considered the original message he received unusual. He stated that it was not unusual. In
previous shows, they have run up to or past curfew and someone would have to come remind them or pass along
the message. Or in another instance, they have had the audio power pulled all together.
I asked him again if there was any other area that someone could have gone to in order to speak directly to
Travis. I summarized the interactions that we were made aware of describing a work station backstage with three
people on it. He stated he was not sure where that would be and that he was not aware of another audio location
like his. I asked again if there was anyone working around him in his area or others working backstage with him.
He stated that there was not anyone except for the movement of people he did not know performing other duties
backstage.
Aftermath
He stated that he learned what had happened in the crowd a few minutes after the show came to an end. He
stated a friend of his backstage told him to check on his family because things got crazy out there. He stated he
was not sure where his family was located during the performance, but they stated that they saw people receiving
CPR.

He told me that Bilal was confused with my question asking if anyone was working around him and clarified that
there were other, but they were not with the Travis Scott organization. Also, sent him a diagram to clarify which
audio tent he was at and he indicated which one it was for us.

Clair Global
**************
Clair Global is an audio company that provides personnel, technicians, and sound equipment for concerts, tours,
and other entertainment venues. For Astroworld, Clair Global was hired by Scoremore to staff the event with
technicians and equipment. I had previously subpoenaed Clair Global and it's CEO Todd Johnson for records
pertaining to Astroworld. We received a USB drive which included among other things, staffing, equipment,
correspondence, and blueprints. Our interest in speaking to members of Clair Global who staffed the event
stemmed from the possibility that some of them may have been monitoring the audio/radio communications during
the event. It is important to us that we either confirm or clarify some of the concert related communications that
were made during the show.
Joe Bailey with Hinton Baily PC Law Firm represented Clair Global. We discussed the case with him and he in
turn communicated with Clair Global regarding those who staffed the Astroworld Festival. During this process, the
following employees were provided as persons who may have information pertaining to the audio and
communications that occurred during the concert: Greg Mackey, Steve Hupkowicz, Brent Edgerton, and Justin
Hoffman. During the course of this investigation, we were able to interview each of them. The following are
summaries of our interviews with Clair Global employees:
Greg Mackey
DOB:
Project Manager
Greg stated that he has been with Clair Global for thirteen years. He stated that he has worked with a lot of
concert events. He stated that Clair Global will staff these type of events and assist with set up and operations
while another company or vendor may provide some of the equipment. He stated that this was his first time
working a Travis Scott / Astroworld event, but he believed that the company had worked some of them in the past.
For Astroworld 2021, he stated that Clair Global provided audio / communications (Comms) for the
production/entertainment side of the event. I asked him to describe what audio and comms entailed for this event.
He stated that his responsibility was the sound matrix that enabled him to patch certain communications through
to other departments and channels working the event. He stated that each department had their own audio
channel so that all of the employees and management of that department could speak to each other during the
event. He described further saying that at his station he had about eighteen buttons on it that enabled him to
communicate to whatever department he wanted or someone could reach out to him asking him to patch them
through to another department. He could also isolate and speak to a single person within a department. Another
way of describing his station was as a switch board. He stated there were three total audio consoles like his at the
venue.
He stated that some departments brought their own sound console equipment, but he interfaced their equipment
to his which allowed his console to act as a "master" console where all of the radio traffic could filter through. He
stated that this enabled him to hear all of the radio traffic occurring at the venue simultaneously.
I asked him where his station was located during the concert. He stated that he was backstage, stage left,
positioned behind the DJ. He stated that was on a one-foot tall riser. Near to him was a station consisting of a
monitor mixer, monitor tech, a couple of Clair Global technicians, and some video people from the T.V. truck just
to the right of him.

Narrative
Regarding how communications worked between the artist and the DJs. He stated that would not come through
his sound board but instead would be operated through the monitor mixer, which he stated was directly in front of
him.
Before asking him about the concert and the communications he heard, I asked him about the overall set up and
his experiences pre-concert. He stated that the set up process was wet and slow. It had just rained and they had
to work with a grassy area, so it made things difficult. He stated that before the show, he checked the sound board
located at the front of house to make sure it was operating correctly. Then, he returned to his station about twenty
minutes before the show was to start.
The Concert and Communications
I asked him about the concert and any notable communications that he could recall hearing. He stated that the
beginning of the show he overheard talks about Travis coming up through the lift, and the first few songs
consisted of lighting making adjustments.
As the show progressed, he stated that heard a communication from the LED department channel talking about
concert-goers climbing on a camera platform. He later heard a communication that potentially one person had
passed away. He believed that communication was made by either the LED or Screens department. He stated
that he did not know when those communications were made. He provided the estimate of 20-45 minutes into the
show.
I asked him if he overheard or intercepted any communications regarding the show needing to be stopped. He
stated that he did not. I asked him if he ever saw police or security personnel arrive in the area around him. He
stated that he saw Police arrive in his area multiple times and on another occasion he saw what he believed to be
a large group of security personnel. After seeing all of these people coming to the area, he figured that something
bad had happened.
I asked him how many people were stationed at the monitor console in front of him. He stated there was one
person assigned there and it was the Monitor Mixer. He stated there were also other techs who were assigned
around the monitor console. As a clarification, the monitor console had the capability to communicate with the
talk-back microphone used by the artist. He stated that although he was not monitoring the communications with
the artist, he stated that it was possible that some of his co-workers may have listened to it. He provided the
names Brent Edgerton and Steve Hupkowicz as persons that were in that area.
The Aftermath
Once he found out that something was wrong in the concert, he communicated to his fellow technicians who were
located at stage right to be ready in case the show was stopped abruptly.
We mentioned the name Bilal or Bizzy. He stated that he did not recognize that name. He said that the sound
mixer was someone else but he could not remember his name, only that he believed that he was with Travis
Scott's team.
He told us that during the set up phase, he recalled hearing talks about placing access to the artist talk-back
microphone in one of the T.V. trucks. He stated that if they did end up doing that, it would only mean that they
would be able to hear the talk-back microphone communications but they themselves would not have been able to
communicate with the artist.
End of Interview.
Steve Hupkowizc
DOB:
Monitor System Engineer
Steve stated that he has worked with Clair Global for ten years. For the Astroworld Festival, he worked as a
monitor systems engineer which enabled the band to communicate with each other on stage. He is located next to
the main monitor engineer backstage. He stated they were back stage left, behind all of the screens and stage

Narrative
apparatus. I showed him a diagram that I had printed out and he indicated where he was located which was the
audio tent outlined in the diagram back stage left.
He stated that the Monitor Engineer was Justin Hoffman, and he said he was Travis Scott's engineer. He talked
about other people that were around him which he estimated was about seven other technicians. He mentioned
Greg (Mackey) as a person he recalled seeing in the area (closest to Justin Hoffman). He stated that from his
viewpoint, he could not see the stage or the performance. He had to view the performance from a small screen at
his station. He stated that he did not know Bilal Joseph or Bizzy.
I asked him if from his position he could hear communications sent to the artists on-stage. He stated that any
communications made to on-stage personnel could be heard through his station. He explained that the purpose of
his position was to ensure that the artist could hear his own voice during the concert with the music acting as
background. He also had to ensure that communications could be made between the band members without the
audience hearing it. It was confirmed that Travis Scott had an earpiece that was the talk-back microphone by
which others could communicate to him.
The Concert
Steve explained again how he really could not see anything in terms of the crowd or what was going on along the
stage area. He stated that the stage set up was big and it blocked his view. He had to rely on his screen to watch
the show live. The feed he was watching focused more on Travis specifically while occasionally showing wide
shots that showed portions of the crowd. He stated that he could tell that the crowd was crazy but not to the level
of him knowing that anything bad was happening.
I asked him if he overheard any communications during the concert. He stated that the communications with
Travis were few early on during the show and those that he could remember where just Travis communicating
with his DJs making simple audio requests. It was not until later in the show when he overheard discussions about
the show being pulled.
He stated that there was point during the concert when a couple of people who he believed were a part of the
production staff arrived in their area and were having discussions amongst themselves which he could not hear.
He saw one of them talk to the Autotune operator who was standing next to Justin Hoffman. He stated that in
terms of positioning, he stated it was him to the left of Justin followed by the Autotune person, he believed that he
was about four feet from the terminal where the microphone connected to Travis was located. He said that the
person grabbed the microphone and said, "we have to hurry this thing up and that we have to get to the part with
Drake, and there are three people that had died". He stated that this was communicated into the microphone that
went directly into Travis's ear.
I had Steve repeat again what he believed the message to Travis was. He stated that the message that was
voiced by Travis's Autotune person was, "we need to hurry up and get to the Drake part of the show, and three
people have died." We asked him who else could hear this communication. He stated that everyone on stage
should have heard it and anyone else with an ear piece in could hear it, but he was not sure who else that could
have been. He mentioned Jesse Cole as someone who was there but was working in a different capacity than
him. He stated that Justin Hoffman would have heard it as well.
We asked him if he knew what time this message was sent. He stated that it was well before Drake took the stage
but he could not say the exact time. He stated that he believed the communication was sent sometime between
when the ambulance cart gets stuck in the crowd and just before Travis goes up on the lift.
Regarding the content of the message and the mentioning of three people had died, we asked him what he
thought about that. Steve stated that he has worked hundreds of shows and he has never experienced anything
like this situation. He stated that he has worked many performances that had larger crowds than this one and he
mentioned how the artist has the crowd in the palm of their hand. He stated that this whole situation was shocking
to him.
Steve described watching the video feed at the time that Travis was receiving the message. He stated that he had
a look on his face like a "wake up" point. He stated that there was a part later on during the show while Travis
was still on the lift and he stated that it appeared Travis was starting to notice people in the crowd. He stated that

Narrative
they (talking about those who were working back stage) were awoken to the situation to a degree, but they still did
not comprehend the severity of it all.
We asked Steve his personal opinion regarding his thoughts about the show continuing after the message was
delivered to Travis. He stated that if they had done a "hard" cut off at that moment that it probably would have
been the wrong move given the way the crowd might have reacted. He believed that it was not a good idea to
send Drake onto the stage. He stated that furthered the rise in the crowd energy level and had Drake not made an
appearance it really would not have been a big deal because he was a surprise guest and the crowd would not
have even noticed. He stated that if the scenario had been that if the Travis Scott production had agreed just to do
five more songs and then end it, which would have been better. However, he noted that there did not appear to a
lot of pressure from production to end the show and to his knowledge Travis completed all of the songs for his set.
We asked if he could confirm or distinguish any Police Officers that came to the area. He stated that he was not
sure if those that came to their area were Police Officers or not. He repeated that he believed that those who
came to were members of Production who may have been accompanied by Officer, but again he was not sure. To
his recollection, he only remembered the single occurrence where people came to talk about stopping the show,
unlike what we have heard were there were two instances.
He stated that after the message to Travis was sent, he and the other audio people around him briefly discussed
what they had heard. He stated they were all wondering when the concert was actually going to end. He stated
that they did not know for sure how long each song was supposed to go and if the show was going to be stopped
short.
We mentioned to him that we had interview Greg Mackey. He stated that he Greg was positioned at the
communications panel upstage by near to their position. He stated that he would not have been able to hear the
message to Travis. He was not sure if the audio of the talk-back microphone passed through Greg's sound board
or if there were other communications routed through there referencing the situation.
The Aftermath
He stated that when the show ended, nothing more was really discussed about the situation immediately
afterwards. He stated that Production had a cookout ready for them and some of them gathered together to eat.
He stated the topic of the deaths were not really discussed anymore with the group of people who were
backstage. He stated when he was leaving the show, he talked about what happened with a friend.
He did not find out about the show being cancelled or how bad it really was until the next morning when he got a
call from his mother who was worried about him after hearing about the show.
End of Interview.
Brent Edgerton
DOB:
Radio Frequency Coordinator
He stated that he has been with Clair Global for eight years. His job position entails ensuring that all of those who
are using wireless headsets or radio networks have the ability to hear themselves and others. His given title was
that of Radio Frequency Coordinator for this show and other shows he has participated in. He stated that this was
his first time working a Travis Scott event.
He stated that he spent most of the day prior to the Travis Scott concert coordinating with all of the bands that
were playing that day to ensure they were on the correct radio frequencies for each of their shows. He would also
spend time imputing information into a computer located in a storage container located backstage to the main
stage.
The Concert
He stated that the first twenty or thirty minutes of the show, he was backstage where all of the monitors were
located along with the sound mixer and autotune station. I had him point on the diagram which location he was
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:15 Page 11 of 14

Narrative
referring to, and it was the same location that has been referenced by others who have been interviewed. While
there, he was ensuring that Travis' earpiece and the sound levels were appropriate. Once he felt that everything
was functioning smoothly, he went to his office.
He stated that he exited his office about the time that Drake was getting on stage. While he was walking around
he noticed that things were unfolding into what he believed may have been a crisis. He described the autotune
person and the monitor mixer as standing right next to each other. I showed him a photo of Bilal Joseph and he
stated that he was the autotune person. He stated that he did not know the name of the monitor mixer but he
remembered that he was a white. In terms of other people that were out there, he stated there were seven or eight
Clair Global people were out there. He remembered specifically Greg Mackey among others.
He stated that during the show, he had one earpiece in so that he could listen for any problems with the audio. He
stated that when he went inside his office, his earpiece would fail at times because of the metal walls, so he had
to take it out during that time. When he stepped back out, he replaced his earpiece and started to gather what was
going on.
He stated that he passed Greg Mackey who asked him if he heard the news about the rumor going around that
people are dying in the crowd. At about that time, Brent stated that he tuned into his earpiece and heard the
autotune person speak to Travis saying, "Hey we need to wrap this up, we got like two bodies in the ground". He
stated that he turned and looked at one of the monitors to see how Travis reacted to the message and then
noticed how the show continued on. He stated there were maybe ten Police Officers in the area by then and some
of them were going back and forth talking to the autotune guy telling them that they needed to end the show or
that they only had a few minutes before they needed to stop the show. He stated the autotune guy acted as the
intermediary for Travis. Meanwhile he stated the show continued on for what seemed like an "eternity".
He stated that he did not know what to do at that point and he really did not know if it was true that people were
dying out there because from his vantage point he could not see. I asked him if he saw anyone else talking to or
trying to interact with the autotune person. He stated the only ones that he noticed in that area where the Police
Officers. He stated that most of the Police Officers were standing off to the side but there were at least two of
them that were close to the audio area trying to communicate with the autotune person to have the show shut
down.
I asked him if he overhead any additional communications between the autotune person and Travis. He stated
that he could not remember if the person repeated the previous message or not. He also could not remember if he
sent the message when Drake was taking the stage or if he it was as he was leaving. He stated that from what he
heard, when Drake took the stage, the crowd went crazy and made another push towards the stage.
I asked him about what thoughts were going through his mind at the time. He recalled earlier in the show when
Travis stopped the show to point out the fan that was climbing a tree. He stated that to him Travis was
encouraging that fan and thus encouraging behavior akin to what he was doing. He felt that this was crazy and
that people should not have been acting the way that they were. He spoke with some of his coworkers and they
agreed that "this is what happens when you encourage that type of behavior".
The Aftermath
He stated that once the show was concluded, he walked out towards the front of house area. He stated that there
were a lot of clothes and shoes all over the ground and he thought that was unusual and this indicated to him that
something had happened out there. It was not until the next day when he came to realize the full extent of the
damage done at the concert.
End of Interview.
Justin Hoffman
DOB:
Monitor Engineer
Justin stated that he has worked for Clair Global for twenty years. He stated that his responsibilities for this show
and other shows have been to control the sound coming in and going out. He stated they have access to vocals,
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:15 Page 12 of 14

Narrative
drums, and other auxiliary sounds which he filters and toggles with to get the correct sound that the artists prefers
to hear during the performance. He stated that his entire career has been spent doing concerts and tours and he
has been working for Travis Scott shows for the last six years.
I asked him what where Travis' preferences regarding what he wanted to hear in his ears. He stated that Travis
does not differ from other artists in that he wants to be able to hear his own voice with the music still being loud
and also a little of the audience. I asked him the stage for AstroWorld was different the previous stages and he
stated that they have used that design and various other performances but it had a few differences.
He stated that his station was back stage left, and this was typical for previous performances as well. As far as his
perspective of the stage, he normally cannot see the artist but instead has to rely on a monitor set up at his
station that depicts only a close-up view of the artist.
I asked him who else was around him during the show. He stated that Bizzy or Bilal, who is the autotune guy was
standing right next to him as he typically would in other shows. Regarding the planning for the show, he stated
that there was nothing out of the ordinary. During the day of the show, he stated he spent the day with others
working on getting everything operational. He stated that process lasted until about noon. After that, he stated that
he mostly just stayed near the main stage until show time. He did not have any contact with Travis to go over the
show or anything since they were already used to each other.
I asked him to again to describe the area where he was stationed. He described it as a tent covering a riser that
they were standing on with all of their equipment. He stated that they were back stage, near the tunnel that goes
straight back and onto the stage. He stated that Bizzy was standing about two or three feet to the right of him. He
stated there may have been a bunch of Clair Global technicians all around them in that area but he stated he was
not paying attention to that or who was coming or going.
The Concert
As the concert started, he stated that everything was normal and he felt that as it progressed, he and the people
around him did not think anything was wrong and everything was going as it normally would. He recalled at times
that Travis would pause the show for one thing or another but other than that, it continued. He stated that Travis
did not say anything during the show that would have riled the fans up in a way that he has seen Travis do in past
shows. He added that Travis even slowed the show down at times in order to calm the crowd at times.
I asked him what kind of communication capabilities he had. He stated that he did not have a radio or a means to
listen to anything else that was going on. He stated that from his station he was able to communicate with anyone
on stage.
Justin maintained that the show proceeded as normal and nothing out of the ordinary was going on in the show or
in his area that would have led him to believe that something was wrong. I asked him if he overheard anything
about stopping the show. He stated that he was not sure at what point during the concert it was, but he recalled
seeing what looked like to him as a group of Police Officers conversing with a person he believed was Brad
Wavra, the promotor from Live Nation.
He stated that he saw Bizzy go and talk to Brad. When Bizzy returned, he used the microphone to relay a
message to Travis. He stated that he could not understand what was being said over the microphone. Once Bizzy
was done talking he stated that he pulled down his headphones and asked Bizzy what he told him. Bizzy stated
to him that he told Travis that people were hurt and after Drake was done to stop the show. As a reference point, I
asked him if Drake was on stage yet when this message was relayed. He stated that Drake was just about to go
on.
I asked him to clarify if Bizzy had to get off of their riser to talk to Brad or not. He stated that he maybe had to walk
five steps to talk to him which may have just been to the edge of their riser. I asked him how familiar he was with
Brad Wavra and he stated that he did not know him well but he has seen him at shows over the years as he has
worked with Travis.
He stated that this was the only instance that he could recall a message about stopping the show was made. I
clarified with him that there were not repeats of the message or updates to the message. He stated that when the
message was going out over the microphone, he could not understand what was being said. He said that it
sounded all muffled which was why he had to ask Bizzy afterwards.

We asked about the Police Officers that were in the area at that time. He stated he when that was going on the
Police Officers never left the area. We asked if he had heard about anyone dying in the crowd at that point and he
stated that he did not hear anything like that. Finally, we asked if anyone told him to shut down the show and he
stated that no one told him that. We asked if he knew Seth Boardman and Michael Brown. He stated that he did
not know who Seyth was but he knew Michael Brown as Travis' security. He did not acknowledge seeing him
backstage around the times that all of this was happening.
The Aftermath
He stated that he did not learn about what happened at the show until the next morning through phone calls and
turning on the news.

Breakdown of the Message
***************************
During the course of this investigation we have been making efforts to acertain what Travis Scott was told while
on stage relative to stopping the show. We have collected statements from various individuals who each have
their own rendention of what they believe was the message that was conveyed to Travis Scott. The following are
the varying versions of the message:
Travis Scott (3 variations)
- "yo, this is gonna to have to be like the last song".
- "yo Trav, you got to wrap it up, its getting kinda hectic out there".
- Travis stated that he was told in his earpiece to end the show after Drake. No other circumstances,
explainantions, or detials were provided.
Bilal Joseph
- Bilal stated that he told Travis to end the show after Drake. There was no secondary or follow up message to
that one, nor any mention of the circumstances or details.
Steve Hupkowizc
- Steve stated that he heard the message from Bizzy to Travis as, "we need to hurry up and get to the Drake part
of the show, and three people have died."
Brent Edgerton (Did not hear the original message, but heard the possible second message via headphones)
- Brent stated that he heard the message from Bizzy to Travis as, "Hey we need to wrap this up, we got like two
bodies in the ground".
Conclusion
**************
On March 31st, Robert King with the FBI MXU Division notified us that on one of the Apple Music Audio Files, one
of their analysts captured communications in the background of the music performance. For context, this audio
appeared to have originated from a microphone or series of microphones that were in range of the backstage
area. We believe the communications overheard on this audio file may be the interactions going on backstage
pertaining to the requests for the show to be stopped. However, the audio file contains a lot of interference due to
the load music and ourselves and the FBI are working to edit and clarify the background noise on the file in an
effort to accurately interpret what is being said. A breakdown of this audio file will be included in a later
supplement.
The Investigation continues...

investigation. We've attempted to keep the documentation progression of the investigation in order much as
possible to promote ease of understanding.
2.) Apple Audio Recording:
On March 31, 2022, I was contacted by F.B.I. MXU R. King. He stated there is a recording that I urgently need to
listen to. M. Barrow and I returned to the office and listened to the recording. The recording is an audio file that
was provided by Apple. In the file were a mixture of files. Some files would not play. Some files were recordings of
the concert. There were files that recording Bilal Joseph's voice or Travis Scott's voice. This particular file
mentioned was a recording from beginning to the end of the concert. We believe the recording was near the
tented platform where Auto-Tune Mixer Bilal Joseph was. M. Barrow, HPD Homicide Lt. S. Hope, and I listened to
the recording multiple times. Lt. S. Hope attempted to clean up a copied version (not altering the original) to make
the sound appear more clear. I requested the original copy to be copied and sent to the F.B.I. for their audio
specialists to clean it up as best as possible. On May 3rd, Video Communications Specialist J. Walker of the F.B.I.
Provided me with two copies of the cleaned up audio version. One is strictly the time when we believe Seyth
Boardman to be communicating with Bilal Joseph. The other recording is the recording in its entirety.
Detective M. Barrow transcribed the recording to the best of his ability. The recording is still distorted with breaks
and sound pollution. Below is what his perception as to what was said:
Seyth Boardman's Recording
Approximately 2151 hours (Based on Seyth Boardman's interview and Audio Recording)
***********************************************************************************************************
Unknown Male: "We've gotta have a discussion... we've got three people killed out there...yes..."
Seyth: We have four active CPRs going on, two are most likely dead, we don't know, all active CPRs...it is very
very bad. There are more crush victims than I have every seen in my 25 year career. We have to have a
discussion in his (Travis) ears, letting him know what is going on. We need to shut this thing down in 8 minutes at
10 O'clock.
Response: indiscernible
Seyth: (yelling) "I don't... I want him to end the show, I want him to end the show...Hey guy...he has got to end this
show."
Response: "He's got it guys, we got it."
***********************************************************************************************************
There is a second recording that we found to be important. There is a male with a possible raspy voice that we are
attempting to still identify. He says the show needs to stop "right here". Then another male comes into the
recording. According to Seyth Boardman, the voice belongs to Marty Wallgren
***********************************************************************************************************
Marty Wallgren: Chief's not playing...10:10 Chief's not playing
Male 2: He gotta wrap it up, they not playing...we've gotta wrap it up right here.
Bizzy (Bilal Joseph): It's the last song...Last song last song, it's the last song
Marty Wallgren: Chief said 10:10 man, he's not playing
Bizzy (Bilal Joseph): Last song, last song
Marty Wallgren: He's not playing
Bizzy (Bilal Joseph): It's the last song, only 2 minutes long

3.) Investigative Interactions with Entities Involved:
A.) Interactions with Seyth Boardman
On May 10, 2022, I spoke with Seyth Boardman's attorneys Andrew Lourie and Sydney Johnson. They asked me
what would be the questions that I would like to ask Mr. Boardman. I told them I would like to ask him about the
entire festival interactions and would like to record the conversation. They stated they were under the impression
that I would only ask specifics to when Mr. Boardman was notified about someone dying and up to the recorded
conversation. Mr. Lourie stated he would like to request that I do not record the conversation. He stated he was
under the impression that we were going to have a confidential conversation to see if the information Mr.
Boardman provides could be helpful. I agreed that we would not record the conversation and stay on task to the
specific questions. Mr. Lourie stated it is possible that we could have a more in depth conversation in the future
with Mr. Boardman especially if he is granted immunity.
On May 11, 2022, M. Barrow and I interviewed Seyth Boardman with his attorneys. As discussed, the interview
was not recorded. M. Barrow and I introduced ourselves to Mr. Boardman. We asked if he could describe what
happened when he found out that someone was in trouble at the festival.
Seyth Boardman stated at approximately 09:45 P.M., he saw a female being crowd surfed. He stated she
appeared to be unconscious. He stated he helped security bring the female to Main Medical. He stated he could
not remember what she looked like. He stated when he returned, he saw two males receiving CPR near the
barricades in front of House. He stated he knew that he had to have the show stopped. He stated he saw Michael
Brown and told him they needed to shut down the show. He stated he told Mr. Brown that they need to get into
Travis' ears to tell him to shut it down. He stated Michael Brown told him okay and that they needed to get
backstage. He stated they were walking through the thrust when he saw Commander Hardin. He stated Hardin
told him to shut down the show. He stated he agreed and continued to run back stage.
He stated when he got back stage, Michael Brown got onto the platform to speak with a tall black male wearing
twisty braids in his hair. He stated Michael Brown then opened for Seyth to speak with the male directly. He stated
he had never seen the male before. He stated he told the male that it was time to shut down the show. He stated
the male told him Drake is their star guest and has not gone on to perform. He stated he told the male that he
better get Drake on the stage then because they needed to shut down the show at 10:00 PM. He stated he saw
his watch said 09:51 PM.
I asked if he felt some push-back from the male. He stated he is not sure. He stated he did have to tell him twice
to shut it down. He stated he does not believe the male fully understood the context as to why they needed to shut
the show down. He stated he is not sure if Mr. Brown had not been there then the male would not have listened

to him. He stated he saw John Janell there. He stated he told John Janell to make sure the show was shutdown at
10:00 PM.
Seyth Boardman stated he walked away. He stated he got on the radio and told his employee Marty Wallgren to
have the show shutdown at 10:00 PM. He stated he did not relay the message that he had already told them to
shut it down by 10:00 PM. He stated he responded to the egress gates. He stated he saw some congestion at an
intersection and asked for police cars to move so that patrons could leave. He stated once the egress gates were
open, he checked his watch. He stated he saw that it was 10:00 PM. He stated he was relieved because the gates
were open and the show was to end. He stated the show did not end and he could not understand why it
continued. He stated he was yelling on the radio at Marty Wallgren asking him to shut-down the show and did not
understand why it was not getting shut-down.
M. Barrow and I played the recording we had. We played the portion that we believed was Seyth Boardman
talking. Mr. Boardman listened to the recording. He stated that is without a doubt his own voice telling them to
shut down the show. He stated it was just him, Michael Brown and the black male. I asked if he could recognize
the female. He stated it is possible there were people on the other side of the platform but he is not sure. He
stated he just remembers the other two individuals.
M. Barrow and I played the second recording Mr. Boardman. He stated the person yelling that it is 10:10 PM
Marty Wallgren. Mr. Boardman began tearing up and became upset. He stated that is Marty Wallgren trying to end
the show. We asked if he could make out the more "raspy" voiced individual. He stated he does not know who
that was after playing the recording a few times for him.
M. Barrow asked about Emily Ockenden. He stated he did not interact with Emily Ockenden while being
backstage. He stated he did see Brad Wavra back there at some point but did not interact with Brad Wavra.
I asked Andrew Lourie if he could work on finding out if Marty Wallgren has an attorney. I told him that we would
be sending a questionnaire for future questioning for Mr. Boardman. We said our goodbyes and terminated the
call.
On April 11, 2022, Attorney Molly Pela advised they are still working on getting a statement from Emily Ockenden.
As of May 11, 2022, I have not heard anything from Emily Ockenden or her attorneys. I advised my chain of
command and was advised not to bother further.
On May 9, 2022, I was provided the contact for California D.A. K. Stewart for the San Diego District Attorney's
Office by A.D.A. M. Levine. I called him and introduced myself. He stated he would work on getting me in contact
with a person from the office to work on the Interstate Compact. He later provided me with Linda O'Neil's contact
for the San Diego D.A.'s office. I provide the contact to M. Levine. On May 11, 2022, M. Levine told me the
subpoena summoning Emily Ockenden to the Harris County Grand Jury has been signed and submitted to the
San Diego District Attorney's Office to be presented before a judge in California.
C.) Interactions with Brent Silberstein
On May 4, 2022, I reached out to Attorney C. Downey and asked if he could ask Brent Silberstein if there were
any talks about HPD being in charge of the crowd during the Travis Scott concert.
Brad Wavra
W/M DoB:
Ronald Machen and Mac Secrest spoke to us on the phone. They stated they have spent a lot of time with Mr.
Wavra to draft a statement that they would provide to us to suffice for the investigation. They requested we do not
record the interview. We agreed that they would not record. Mr. Machen went on to read the statement on Brad
Wavra's behalf. They called the statement a "proffer" though there was nothing agreed upon per receiving the
statement.
Machen's statement for Brad Wavra is summarized as follows:

security. He has five years' experience with Travis Scott. He was not present for the security walkthrough and did
not have a radio. Did not visit incident command. He is a liaison between Travis Scott and Live Nation. He spoke
with who he believed was an assistant chief twenty-minutes before the show ended and believed there may be
cardiac arrests.
He stated the assistant chief agreed to end the show after Drake. He stated he had a discussion with an officer at
2200 hours. He stated he came to the conclusion that the show could end at the song named "Sicko Mode". He
stated the second conversation was with the same chief. He stated he was present to transport Travis Scott off
the stage. He was left with the impression that the victims were drug related. He stated no one told him ever to
shut-down the show.
E.) Interactions with Matt Eyer
On April 19, 2022, Seyth Boardman's Attorney Sydney Johnson stated Matt Eyer is being represented by Attorney
Charles Flood and provided his contact information. On May 4, 2022, I reached out to Charles Flood. I introduced
myself and asked if we could set up an interview for Mr. Eyer. On May 10, 2022, Attorney Charles Flood
responded and asked if he could call soon. I told him to call me on May 12, 2022. He stated he would call me in
the morning.
On May 12, 2022, I spoke with Attorney Charles Flood. He stated he is representing Mathew Eyer. I explained Mr.
Flood as to why I was reaching out to speak with his client. He stated he just wants what is best for his client. I
told him I would send a questionnaire over and we could set up a interview in the near future. Mr. Flood agreed.
F.) Interactions with ASM Global
After interviewing Brent Silberstein, we decided to reach out to ASM Global to speak to David and Leah who Mr.
Silberstein had mentioned being with. I spoke with Attorney Brett. Young representing ASM Global. We set up an
interview for David Gerdy on March 22, 2022 at approximately 1400 hours. See David Gerdy's statement below.
In David Gerdy's statement, we learned about Leah Mastaglio and Angela Gutierrez on March 24, 2022, I asked
Attorney Brett Young if we could interview those two individuals.
On March 31, 2022, M. Barrow and I interviewed Leah Mastaglio and Angela Gutierrez. See below for their
statements.
On May 4, 2022, I asked Attorney Brett Young if in the meetings for Astroworld before the festival took places,
were there conversations had naming HPD to be in charge for the safety of the crowds in front of the Travis Scott
stage. Brett responded to say he will work on getting the question answered.
On May 5, 2022, Attorney Brett Young called me. He stated he spoke with Ryan Boros for NRG Park. He stated
he is the head of safety and security. He stated Ryan Boros stated HPD was not put in control for the safety of the
crowd. He stated that responsibility fell on Live Nation and Scoremore. He stated Mr. Boros stated HPD was in
the command post but they were not responsible to stop the show form the command post. He stated Mr. Boros
mentioned in 2019 that HPD T. Finner had to get on stage to stop the show at Astroworld. He stated the highest
ranking officer there could stop the show.
Mr. Young stated Mr. Boros said HPD is there to be on the outskirts should they be needed. He stated typically
festivals do not want HPD inside the crowds because that inserts guns into the crowd which can create unsafe
scenarios. He stated Mr. Boros went inside the command post a few times throughout the day.

Astroworld in the past. He stated he has and his role was the same.
Mr. Gerdy stated the main things they could offer falls under examples such as widening a fence. He stated if they
wanted to widen a fence, he would contact a local contractor to get the fence widened. He stated if there was a

I asked what is the role of the dispatcher for them. Mr. Gerdy stated he does not know how they are trained. He
stated their training comes from the ASM Global Team. He stated he will give an example. He stated if there is a
report of a wet spill that comes into the Command Center, the dispatcher will get with the house keeping
supervisor and tell them about the wet spill. He stated it is more of a space where they can have everything in one
room to have quick conversations. He stated the dispatcher plays a operator role via radio.

was her first time to go backstage that day. She stated it took her some time to get back there.
Ms. Mastaglio stated she went to the stage right side. She stated she stood in the barricade and tried to locate
where the officers were. She stated she saw a rush of people being rushed out of the VIP area. She stated at that

that was underneath a pop up tent. She stated he was talking to them directly. She stated she stood back. She
stated when he turned around and got off the platform, he made his way over to her. She stated he told her the
show was going to shut down at 10:10 PM. She stated she looked at her watch and it said 10:07 PM. She stated
she stood with him back there for the next couple of minutes. She stated he told her she needed to get the outer
festival lights to go on (parking lot lights). She stated the pyro went up and then she ordered the lights to go on.

Narrative
M. Barrow asked if she captured anything from the conversation on the platform. She stated she was
approximately fifteen feet away. She stated she does not know the individuals back there and did not know if
Satterwhite knew the individuals. She stated Satterwhite got onto the platform to speak with the people. She sated
she was speaking directly to them. She stated HPD went direct with security. She stated she held back in case
Chief Satterwhite needed anything further from him. She stated he did not say anything else to her.
I asked when did she hear about the victims. She stated post show. She stated she started finding out pieces of
information after the show went down. She stated she found out at the main medical area. She stated bits and
pieces of information came to them from HPD. She stated Paradocs also would provide some information. She
sated then they were told to got Orange Lot because there would be a press conference.
I asked how does she have the lights turned on. She stated it was a house electrician that has to manually turn on
the lights. She stated it was the parking lot lights that the show had requested to be turned off for the show. She
stated she radioed over to have the lights turned on at 10:10 PM. I asked if there were other people she knew
backstage with her. She stated no one that she knew. I asked if she followed him from the crowd. She stated she
saw him come from inside the stage barricade. She stated he walked past her. She stated when he passed her,
there were officers following him. She stated she followed the group. We asked for her to try to explain where she
passed Chief Satterwhite and she did.
M. Barrow asked her if they were working on opening the egress gates before the show start time. She stated all
egress gates were opened when she met with her team earlier before the show. I asked when she dealt with the
NFL client earlier were any plans modified. She stated no. She stated practice was over and so the area was
placed more secured. She stated there was a bus that came and picked up the group of trespassers. M. Barrow
mentioned the egress gate Brent Silberstein mentioned that Seyth called him about. She stated she does not
know. She stated she does not know if there was another festival gate that they needed to open. She stated they
opened the NRG gates. M. Barrow asked if she interacted with any of them after the festival. She stated she saw
Brad Wavra in the Orange Lot. She stated he was with Chief Finner and Satterwhite. I asked if they spoke. She
stated she did not speak with him directly. She stated she saw him speaking to Chief T. Finner.
Attorney Brett Young brought up that we would like to learn about the Festival Command Center. M. Barrow
asked the Command Post the different entities were in. He asked if she knew what she was talking about and she
stated yes. She stated the festival dispatchers work directly for the client. She stated she did not go inside the
trailer and does not know who was working in there. M. Barrow asked if they were utilizing their radio frequency.
She stated no. She stated Angela used their frequency and communicated with them. She stated Angel would
notified their team and relay information for their responsibilities. I asked what does Angela do for them. She
stated she was a dispatcher for the festival that worked for them. She stated she would be a person that relays
over to turn on the lights. She stated she would handle building issues. She stated Unified Command would catch
things on the cameras. She stated they would let everyone know in the trailer. She stated Angela would let Leah
and the team know of something occurring. I asked if someone told Angela to stop the show, would she be able to
do it. She stated that is not her job. She stated that is not her responsibility. She stated to stop the show is up to
the client. Mr. Young told me Angela would be available to provide an interview as well. I terminated the interview.

of the event. M. Barrow asked where was she sitting inside of the command post. Attorney Peter Tipps provided a
picture of the Command Post (they allowed us to take the picture copy and attached it in the case file). Ms.
Gutierrez described the layout of the room. M. Barrow asked if she could go through her experience for
Astroworld. Angela Gutierrez stated she had a radio in her ear the entire time. She stated everything was pretty
standard. She stated she had people sneaking in. She stated she could not understand all of the conversations
going on in the room. She stated it started getting crazy around 09:15 PM. She stated everyone was talking in the
Command Post and doing their own jobs.
M. Barrow asked if she knew what was going on at approximately 09:15 PM. She stated she knew the number of
calls was increasing. She stated she does not know what the content was per each call. She stated she tried to
stay out of their way. She stated everyone was looking at the cameras that Unified Command was operating. She
stated Unified Command is there to look at the crowds. He stated phone calls were coming in and people were
listening to radios. M. Barrow asked if there was a certain time when things escalated. She stated she believes
the escalation high point was at approximately 09:45 PM "when the girl fell off the thing" (referencing Shahani
falling off of the backboard). M. Barrow stated he remembered when Unified Command had focused on that part.

utilizing the white board a lot. She stated they were trying to figure out duplicate calls. M. Barrow asked if she ever
heard someone talk about stopping the show inside the Command Post. She stated she believes when the
female fell off. She stated there were conversations about stopping the show.
M. Barrow asked if anyone made a radio communication that she heard to say to stop the show. She stated not in
front of her. She stated she did not hear that. I asked if anyone told her directly to stop the show. She stated no.
She stated she couldn't. She stated it was the concert promoter that would be in charge of that. She stated the

cart. Shes stated she does remember that and saw that on camera. She stated people's reactions in the
Command Post was "holy shit" when they saw that.
Ms. Gutierrez stated she did not learn how bad everything was until later. She stated when she saw the female
fall, she contacted Leah and Gerdy about what she had seen. She stated it was not until after the show that she
learned how many people had passed. I asked after the show was over, where did she go. She stated she stayed
in the trailer and communicated with ASM personnel. She stated she was there until about 01:30 AM and was told
she could leave. She stated she made sure egress went as smoothly as possible.
J.) Interactions with the FBI
Some of the interactions with the FBI is listed under the 2.) Apple Recording in this supplement. Refer to that
section for the FBI's assistance with the recording.
On May 3, 2022, M. Barrow and I decided to allow Attorney Andrew Lourie representing Seyth Boardman to listen
to the audio recording. We knew should any charges be filed for Bilal Joseph, then Mr. Boardman would have to
identify himself in the recording we have (Refer above for Apple Audio Recording). I reached out to F.B.I. T.
Seftick. I asked if he could get this set up. He stated he would reach out to the F.B.I. Field Offices in Orlando
and/or in Washington D.C. It was later requested to utilize the F.B.I. Field Office in West Palm Beach, Florida.
On May 6, 2022, after not hearing anything concrete about setting up a meeting, I contacted the Field Office in

West Palm Beach. My information was taken and I was told the agent assigned to the case would reach out. I was
later contacted by Agent D. Healey of the F.B.I. and I told him why I was reaching out. He stated it would not be a
problem and would reach out to the attorneys. A meeting was set up for May 9, 2022 at 10:00 AM in Florida for
Attorney A. Lourie to use their facility. Agent D. Healey advised me Attorney A. Lourie would be unable to make a
copy of the recording. He called me later in the day to say Mr. Lourie had left the office and he would document
his assistance. I thanked Agent. D. Healey for his help.
(I decided to go this route because I believed it would be the most secure way to provide the recording for
Attorney Andrew Lourie but not allow the evidence to be floating around.)
On May 5, 2022, R. Ault of the F.B.I. stated the final product should be completed by May 16, 2022.

and preparing for a Grand Jury Presentation. Agent. K. Crain stated he believes one of his co-workers is close to
a charge against one of the security companies. He stated he is still working on his side. I asked if it was possible
to get everything wrapped up in two to three weeks and he stated he believes that is doable.

Interactions with Ambulnz
O.) Interactions with Ambulnz
On March 12, 2022, I Googled "Ambulnz" after learning the name of their company from Attorney Joe Bailey. I
learned "Ambulnz" might have changed their name. I sent a request for them to reach out to me. On or about May
14, 2022, I was contacted by Attorney Jill Bindler representing Ambulnz while I was working a second job. She
stated she would be in touch after I explained what we were looking for. I never received an e-mail from her and
the phone number I had was for the firm, not a direct line.
After forgetting her name and contacting the firm a few times, I was eventually contacted back by Attorney Jill
Bindler on March 23, 2022. She apologized for not providing me with her direct contact information earlier. I
e-mailed a subpoena to her drafted by A.D.A. M. Levine. She stated she is working on getting an interview with
the client.
On March 29, 2022, Attorney Chris Davis reached out and stated he would be partnering with Attorney Jill Bindler
for this case. He asked for an in person meeting on March 31, 2022 at 1200 Travis as he would be making his
way though Houston. I agreed and met with Attorney Chris Davis at 1200 Travis in the HPD Homicide Division on
March 31, 2022. I explained to Mr. Davis why we would like to speak with Ambulnz employees and their role in the
investigation. I assured him that the employees on the ambulance cart were not a target for this investigation.
On April 5, 2022, Attorney Chris Davis stated he is still trying to identify the employees on the medical cart that got
stuck in the crowd at Stage 1.

April 18, 2022, M. Barrow and I interviewed Nigel Arceo with Attorney Chris Davis present. The interview was
conducted via phone call. Refer to M. Barrow's Supplement for the interview synopsis.
On May 4, 2022, I reached out to Attorney Chris Davis as I had some follow up questions. He stated he could call
me the following day. On May 5, 2022, I spoke to Mr. Davis. I told him that I would like to interview the female on
the cart after all (as we initially believed Mr. Areco's interview would be sufficient) as we were looking into
presenting charges against Danny Vargas before the Grand Jury. I also asked if he could get me a damage
estimate if any to the medical cart. He state he would work on it. As of May 12, 2022, I have not heard anything
back.
P.) Interactions with Pyrotechnico
Lisa Mantella Response
Hello Detective,
As we discussed on the telephone a couple of weeks ago, I believe that we have nearly all of the information that
you requested. We still need to follow up with one employee. There were 19 people from Pyrotecnico working
the Astroworld Festival. The three questions that you had provided were distributed to all 19 individuals that were
present. Only three of 19 people present answered any of your questions in the affirmative.
Tyler Barbone answered your questions as follows:
1) Since I was at FOH [Front of House] I didn't see anything specific, but I did see the medical golf cart trying to
make its way into the crowd during the show to go help someone.
2) No, nothing came in on my headset about shutting the show down.
3) No, no one at FOH was told how bad it was that I know of. I didn't even know it was as bad as it was until we
were told what was happening afterwards.
RJ Pacella answered as follows:
1. I never saw anyone being medically attended, but I remember Travis Scott pointing out someone in the crowd
on the Stage Left side and saying "Is that person okay? Everyone back away from him! Can someone help this
guy out?" Then a few minutes later the concert continued but I had no visible line of sight of that person
2. No one told me to shut down the show. But Travis manager was next to me in Front of House and a security
guy came up to him during the show and said "Someone is Dead! We need to stop the show" That Is all I heard, I
don't know what else was said between those two. Again that was said to the manager by a security person not
to me so to answer the question no one came to me and said we needed to stop the show.
3. Stated what I said in question 2 I believe answers this question.
There is still one more individual that I need to follow up with. I hope to speak with him soon. Please don't
hesitate to reach out to me or Attorney William Buck, copied here, with any additional questions.
Thank you,
Lisa

waited until he was told by officers to clear the area.
R.) Interactions with the Harris County District Attorney's Office
On May 3, 2022, M. Barrow and I provided a brief presentation for Astroworld to District Attorney Kim Ogg along
with members of her staff. She advised us to continue the investigation and prepare to present all probable cause
for all possible charges before the Grand Jury. We have continued to work with A.D.A. M. Levine on a daily basis.
S.) Interactions with Danny Vargas Continued...
On May 3, 2022, Detective M. Barrow and I met with District Attorney K. Ogg. It was decided we would bring
about all possible known charges to the Grand Jury. I had recalled that we had begun looking into a possible
suspect who had jumped on the ambulance cart in the Astroworld concert. On May 4, 2022, I spoke to A.D.A. M.
Levine. He asked me to look into the matter of the suspect on the medical cart.
I checked my notes and saw we had received an anonymous tip on November 6, 2021 that "Danny, itzlune_"
(Instagram) had interfered with the ambulance cart at Astroworld and allegedly bragged about doing so. On
November 10, 2021, I sent the tip to CID Sergeant for assistance in identifying the subject mentioned.
Sgt. M. Davis provided me with the following information:

Possible spouse Ashley VARGAS, DOB:
As referenced in my Supplement #45 under HPD Incident 149072421, I had attempted to get a statement from
Mr. Vargas in the past.
I began to look back into Mr. Vargas. I started by checking Facebook. I found a possible Facebook as "Danny
Vargas" under "facebook.com/Lunekx". I also checked YouTube videos that had been posted. One particular
YouTube video was fairly clear to identify a possible suspect. The video was called "Astrofest chaos - man on top
of ambulance" dated November 6, 2021. I requested Officer H. Nguyen to download the video.
I used the Law Enforcement Database Clear to continue to research into Danny Vargas. I ran address
. I received similar information from Sgt. M. Davis had located listed above.
nor was I able to pull his driver license photo. I had learned from Sgt.
M. Davis that HPD Homicide Lt. Countryman had some connections to NYPD Homicide. I passed along my
contact to her.
I also spoke with Agent T. Seftick and asked if there was a way to get a New York driver's license photo of the
subject. He got me in contact with the NY Fusion Center. I then spoke with Nicole C. Zyzes assigned to the New
York Criminal Intelligence Unit with State Police. I filled out the necessary documentation to be vetted as a police
officer in the state of Texas. I was later contacted by Detective R. Wiltshire of the NYPD Cold Case Squad. He
stated he had received my information from his supervisor. I spoke with Detective R. Wiltshire about Danny
Vargas and a bit about the offense he allegedly committed. He stated he would do some research and try to reach
out to Mr. Vargas for a statement.
On May 6, 2022, I was provided with a driver's license photo for a Danny A. Vargas with the date of birth
documented under Task Number TASK-149351 by New York Trooper Criminal Intelligence Unit

According to the New York State Intelligence Center, Mr. Vargas did not have a criminal history. I provided this
information to Detective R. Wiltshire and A.D.A. M. Levine. I observed the NY driver's license photo to have
similar characteristics to the individual relative to the Facebook account
"facebook.com/Lunekx". I also observed him to have similar physical characteristics to the individual jumping on
top of the ambulance cart in the Astroworld festival GA Quadrant #4.
On May 10, 2022, I received contact from Detective R. Wiltshire. He stated he checked the addresses:
&
He stated he spoke with an individual at the first address who stated they did not know Danny Vargas but has
heard of the name before. He stated he did not get an answer at address.

could speak to someone in the legal department. The secretary told me that I could speak with Lori Upton. I left a
message for Lori Upton and left my contact information. I was later contacted by Lori Upton. She stated SETRAC
provided the RCVQ to HCEC at Astroworld. She stated their truck is there as a precaution should HCEC need to
declare an MCI. She stated they are a private organization. She stated HFD would have their own way of
declaring an MCI. She stated I could send a subpoena her way and she would be able to provide me when the
MCI was declared by HCEC.
On May 6, 2022, I submitted the GJS to Lori Upton. On May 12, 2022, she told me she would get the information

****************************
During the course of this investigation, we have had numerous conversations about Paradocs and the other
medical entities involved at the Astroworld Festival 2021. The attorney who represents Paradocs is Joe Bailey.
Mr. Bailey has been very cooperative and communicative throughout the investigation and has facilitated
interviews, questionnaires, and documents that have assisted us with our investigation. Copies of the interviews,
employee questionaries, and documents pertaining to Paradocs and medical staff are included with the case file
along with brief description in the Table of Contents.
Detective Caten and I have reviewed footage of the concert from a multitude of sources and found that the
medical personnel who worked this event exercised their due diligence and performed their duties to the best of
their abilities despite the tragic and chaotic situation that was unfolding at the time. We found no evidence to
support the ideas and rumors that Paradocs and the medical staff was poorly trained, understaffed, or
undersupplied. After consulting with Mr. Bailey, we identified staff members who we believed would have the most
pertinent information based on their position and vantage point during the concert. The remaining staff members
were issued questionnaires that will be kept in the case file. The following are statements gathered from
Paradocs/Ambulnz:
Melissa Morales
DOB:
Work #
0n 2/10/2022, Detective Caten and I conducted a zoom interview with Melissa Morales who was accompanied by
her lawyer, Joe Bailey. The following is a summary of our interview with Melissa:
Melissa stated that she was assigned to be the Medical Tent Lead/Manager. She has been with Paradocs since
2011 and her primary duties are staffing and scheduling. During her time with the company, she has worked many
festivals and concerts and she is first aid certified.
For this event, she oversaw staffing the EMT's and Medics and initiating Triage for incoming patients. She stated
there were three medical tents at the venue, but she was primarily posted at the main medical tent was located
next to the main stage.
We asked her about the kinds of injuries that they were receiving at the medical tent prior to the concert. She
stated that the injuries were standard according to her experience. Earlier in the day they received many
individuals who had injuries related to the gate rushes and barricade breaches. After that, it was mostly people
who were intoxicated, dehydrated, or other minor injuries. Up until the concert, there were no other major or
critical patients.

Narrative
She stated that she was assigned a radio for this event so that she could be made aware of what or who was
coming to the medical tent, and she could plan accordingly. She stated she could hear and communicate with the
Paradocs dispatch, although she believed that she could switch stations and speak to someone else but never
did.
The Events during the Concert
Melissa provided the disclaimer that she is not sure of the timing of all the events that took place due to the chaos.
She stated when the concert began, she started hearing a lot of activity and yelling on the radio and she could not
tell what they were saying. She stepped out of the medical tent and saw people rushing towards the tent with the
first patient in a wheelchair. They transferred that patient onto a stretcher, and they immediately began
procedures for dealing with Cardiac Arrest. Meanwhile, there were a lot of other non-critical patients coming into
the tent that she was trying to move to the correct areas.
She stated that another patient came into the tent. She began doing CPR on that patient until someone else could
take over. She stated that people that brought that patient in left the tent but before leaving one of them told them
that there are more patients in the crowd. She asked them, "what do you mean there is more" and they repeated
to her that there were more. She stated she was already in disbelief at that point because in her experience it is
very uncommon to get back-to-back cardiac arrests. Also, she stated that it is common practice to take things that
concert-goers say with a grain of salt because they often tend to exaggerate. She found that not to be the case in
this event.
A third patient came in and she again assisted with getting that person situated in the correct area. While she was
doing that, she noticed that the first patient was getting transported out of tent. She was told by other staff
members to keep working and they would handle the triage at the front of the tent because it was getting very
busy.
After the third patient she stated that she lost track of the radio communications and the additional patients
coming in at that time. She continued to work until she saw the last patient which she described as the heavyset
male. During that time, all the stable patients had been moved outside of the medical tent to a sitting area where
they were treated separately.
She stated that all the critical patients were brought in by either member of their team or good Samaritans. Once
the concert reached its conclusion, they were still treating others who were off to the side with minor injuries from
trying to get out of the crowd or were having anxiety attacks. Once everything was handled, she stated they
started cleaning up the area.
Reviewing the Patients
1st Patient: Ezra Blount, was brought in by medical staff in a wheelchair.
2nd Patient: Female, possibly Hispanic. She stated she was carried in by medical staff with the assistance of
concertgoers. She stated that staff members stated they required assistance at times due to the difficulty of
getting people over the crowd and the barricades.
3rd Patient: Female, maybe slim build with dark hair. She could not remember.
4th Patient: Male, unsure which one it was. She stated they worked on him just outside the tent until a space
cleared and they could continue to work on him inside.
General observation of all patients: She stated most if not all of them were blue in the face, unresponsive, and in
her opinion, were deceased by the time they entered the medical tent.
I asked her if in her opinion there would have been a different outcome had the patients been brought to the tent
sooner. She stated that she was not sure, however it could have made a different for the 1st and the 3rd patient
because she recalled there were the ones who were not yet blue in the face. She believed also that those were
the only ones that recovered some vital signs before sending them to the hospital.

Narrative
Understanding that Paradocs did not have the authority to shut down the show, I asked her if there were any
communications along those lines. She stated there were not communications about that over the radio, but at a
certain point when it was all hands-on deck, she heard the dispatcher say that someone should give him a call
which she did. The dispatcher told her that an MCI had been declared and that additional resources were on the
way. She believed the MCI was declared sometime after the second patient came in but before the third patient
arrived. She stated that she never inquired with anyone about if the show was going to be shut down or not.
Addressing the "needle prick" patient
She stated that he was the first patient that came in before all the critical patients. It was said that he had been
pricked with something and Narcan was administered to him in the field. He was brought into the tent, and they
were trying to get a response from him because he was not conscience. She stated they checked his eyes and
saw that they were not "pen point" which is something they are trained to look for before administering Narcan.
When they saw the eyes, she advised them not to give Narcan and instead just move him over for other
treatment. When the first critical patient came in, the patient was still there but was awake at that point. A few
moments later he got up and asked her to remove the IV so that he could leave. She asked him if he was sure,
and he replied, "you have more important things to do, I do not need to take up space..., I'm fine". Later, and to
her surprise, that same patient returned to the medical tent later assisting with the transport of another patient.
We asked her if they ever ran out of equipment. She stated that they never really ran out of anything except for
Narcan, but they were always re-supplied.
We asked if any of the other medical tents were active during the Travis Scott concert. She stated there were
initially, but when it started to get busy, they shut down the other tents and diverted all staff to main medical.
Speaking about the other members of the staff, she stated that everybody stepped up. She stated that she has
never experienced anything like this before.

Leo Vanegas
DOB:
On 02/10/2022, we conducted a zoom interview with Leo Vanegas who was accompanied by his lawyer, Joe
Bailey. The following is a summary of our interview with Leo:
Leo's job title for the event was that of Chief Operating Officer. He stated that he has been with Paradocs for eight
years and has worked many festivals and events. His duties for the event included site management, organizing
staging areas, and working with crews in the field.
He stated that he had a radio on him that was set to the medical channel. Throughout the early parts of the day,
he was walking the venue and assisting crews and assuring that everyone was doing their job. He recalled the
gate rushes which he described as a normal occurrence for this festival. He stated that in terms of injuries and
general medical needs, the early part of the day was about as he would have expected with no major issues.
Events during the Concert
He stated that he began the Travis Scott portion of the show in the medical tent. Just before that, at around 8:45,
he did a final walk through of the concert venue and assured that all the crew members were in their places. He
stated that at that time he noticed the migration of people coming from Stage 2. He stated that he walked up the
chute and continued to make his way back to the barricades. He stated that he noticed the countdown clock was
still going down. He stated that he saw HPD, Security, his staff, and many others all in their position. He also
noticed that the crowd was getting tight, and people were already being pulled out of the pits by security.
However, he stated that this was not unusual for this type of festival.
As he is making it back to the medical tent, the show begins, and about five minutes go by and he hears over the
radio that a cardiac arrest patient is on the way to the tent. He stated that shortly after that, another staff member
entered the tent and told him that there was another cardiac arrest victim in the crowd, and they were trying to
coordinate a crew to go find them. He stated although it was not too unusual to have two cardiac arrests in a
show, to him it was highly unusual to have two cardiac arrests occurring at the same time (he believed this was

around 9:20 - 9:25).
He grabbed an AED and some other equipment, and he followed the crew member who told him about the
patients in the crowd. He stated that they were in the area were some of the camera crews were set up. He found
a team (consisting of two EMTs) performing CPR on a female patient. He checked in with them and prepared the
AED. From that point forward he stated that he lost track of time because he was working constantly. He stated
that the patient they were working on had short blonde hair. (We showed him a diagram of the concert area and
he pointed out to us the area where they were working on this patient, he confirmed that they were in the media
section along the narrow aisle between the barricades, near Front of House).
He stated that he worked on the blonde female patient for about two three minutes when he noticed that they
were bringing over a heavy-set male over the barricade (200-250 lbs.). Another crew in the area jumped in to help
the male patient. He stated that he checked with the crew that was working on him and they stated that he was
still breathing.
He continued to work on the blonde female patient, and he checked again with the crew that was working on the
heavy-set male. They advised that they lost his pulse. At that time, it was determined that they needed to move
the patients to the medical tent. He got on the radio to let the dispatcher know where they were telling him they
were stage right, near the camera platforms. He thought he heard a response from dispatch, but it was unclear
due to all of the noise from the music.
He stated that he told the crew members there that he was going to get additional support. He ran through the
crowd and out towards the medical tent. He got the attention of a crew member there and told him about the
situation. They ran together with additional equipment to get the patients out of there. He showed us the area in
the barricade that they were able to get their patients through the barricade. He reports to dispatch that they have
two patients in need of transport.
By the time he made it back into that same area in the crowd to help, he was told by another crewmember that
they had just transported another person to the medical tent. He was not sure which patient that was. He
described the conditions around the barricades as almost impassable for his crew and it was very difficult to move
and get to the patients. When transporting the female, he requested a security guard to assist them with making a
path for them to get out. He stated that people were pushing the security guards as they were trying to make their
way through.
When he finally made it to the medical tent, he saw that there were already two other patients in there receiving
CPR. He was also told that one of the patients from earlier had already been transported. After hearing this he
believed that his patient was the fourth cardiac arrest patient (Blonde female). Once that was done, he ensured
that the patient was assigned to someone, then he turned to the crew that had just helped him and told them they
had to go back into the crowd to find another patient.
He and his crew made it into the crowd and collected their third patient. They experienced the same difficulties as
before. They had to fight and push their way through and then make their way back with the patient to the medical
tent. Once at the tent again, he stated there were still at least two patients there that were getting worked on
towards the back exit of the tent. After that, he told his crew that they had to go back into the crowd again.
When they returned to the crowd, they made their way back to the area where they collected the last patient. He
stated that the music had stopped, and the crowd was starting to disperse. He learned then that the patient they
were looking for had already been pulled out.
Patient Recap:
1st Patient: Blonde Female.
2nd Patient: Heavy set Male, Possibly Hispanic.
Communications
He stated that he did hear about discussions regarding the show being stopped. He recalled while he was working
within the crowd, he heard the people standing around him yelling, "stop the show". Also, there was a time when

he returned to the medical tent when he was dropping off the first patient. He stated he briefly spoke with Alex
Pollak. Alex told him, "We need to call it" and he stated that he agreed with him. Alex told him that it had been told
to command and they were just waiting for the music to be stopped.
To estimate the time, he stated that he had that conversation with Alex and then returned to the crowd. He found
that Drake had entered the stage around that time. He stated that the crowd was relatively calm at that time, but
he stated that the crowd went crazy again and it got loud. He assumed the environment changed because Drake
was coming on stage.
I asked them if it would have been easier for them to get patients out had the show been stopped. He stated he
was not so sure, and he believed that it would have still been difficult. During one of the times, he returned to the
medical tent, a staff member told everyone to get ready in case they stop the show because there could be riots.
Speaking about the patients, he believed that most of them were already dead by the time they got to them, or
they were on their last breath. He stated they were scrambling around trying to get everyone the care that they
needed but, in most cases, there was not much they could do given the conditions of the most critical patients. He
was not sure if there would have been a different outcome had they been given more time or if they had
responded sooner given the state that the patients were in when they found them.
End of Interview.
John Saltzman
We interviewed John over Zoom on 03/11/2022 and he was accompanied by his lawyer Joe Baily. The following is
a summary of our interview with John Saltzman:
John stated that he has been with Paradocs since 2007. His primary duties are that of Emergency Dispatcher. For
this festival he was assigned to the Joint Command Center that was in the East Parking lot. He was accompanied
by two other Paradocs Dispatchers, and they were issued their own CAD system and the festival provided the
handheld radios.
The Command Center included representatives from HCEC, Unified Command, HPD, and the Fire Marshall. He
described the Center as a trailer with multiple stations inside including screens and monitors displaying the
camera views of the venue.
We asked him to define some terms for us that we observed on the Paradocs CAD printout we were provided:
CARD = Cardiac, or Cardiac Related
BOH = Back of House
Pt = Patient
RES = Gator, or Transport Vehicle Crew
SQ = Foot patrol crew
According to John, he felt that the festival did not provide (Paradocs) with enough radios. In previous
shows/festivals, they would have more than enough for their staff members but in this instance they did not. He
stated that his and Paradocs' standard preference for Radio Frequencies is three. Again, in this instance the
festival limited them to only one frequency. He explained that having three frequencies allows for isolated
communications with Managers, Emergency Personnel, and a General Emergency Frequency for all third parties.
He stated that this system would have allowed for less radio interference and reduced the amount of people
"walking-over" each other on the air.
Five minutes into the show: He stated that he received a text message from Zach telling him that people are
coming over the barricades, multiple critical.
Five minutes after text from Zach: Over the air, field teams are reporting that people are down.
John stated that he continued to receive several chaotic calls mentioning CPR, need for backup, and requests for
help. This continues until he finally hears over the air the first mention of a Cardiac Arrest call. Throughout all of

this, he stated that had a difficulty identifying units and where they were located at any given time. He could hear
three different voices telling him that they were responding to Cardiac Arrests.
John recalled a time during the chaos when he turned to the HCEC Dispatcher and suggested that an MCI be
declared. He clarified that he did not have the authority to declare an MCI, but he wanted to make sure that
conversation was taking place with those that could. He also stated that there was a festival dispatcher in the
trailer with them. At one point (he could not recall the time) he turned to the dispatcher and told him that the show
needed to be stopped. Again, he realized that he nor the dispatcher could stop the show.
During the latter part of the show, he recalled looking over at the monitor where the security cameras were
displayed and noticing the individual dancing on top of the ambulance cart. He stated that this made him very
angry, prompting him to temporarily leave the trailer to get some air while the other two Paradocs Dispatchers
took over.
Throughout the duration of the show, he did not recall seeing any "higher-ups" enter the trailer. He stated that he
remained at his post until he was notified that he could leave.
End of Interview.
Dr. Danica Barron
DOB:
On 03/28/2022, Detective Caten and I conducted a phone interview with Dr. Barron, accompanied by her lawyer
Joe Bailey. The following is a summary of our interview with Dr. Barron:
Dr. Barron stated that she has been a physician with Paradocs since 2017 as an event's medical director. She
stated that she has been practicing medicine since 1999. She was asked by Alex Pollak to work this Astroworld
Event. She stated that this was her first Astroworld and possibly her first time working at a Travis Scott Event.
Her role for the event is to act as the head of the medical tent and to ensure that all patients are cared for
appropriately. She stated that her shift started at 10 am for this event and at times she was walking around the
perimeter, and she noticed there were a lot of people trying to get in the venue illegally, and jumping over fence.
She stated that she found this behavior to be unusual in contrast to the other concerts and events that she has
worked.
We asked her about the types of injuries she was seeing throughout the day prior to the main concert. She stated
there were a surprising amount of assault injuries. She commented there was an influx of patients at the medical
tent following the gate rushes when the venue officially opened. She recalled sending one of those patients to the
hospital. Overall, it was not too busy in the medical tent throughout the day apart from the rush incidents.
We asked about her communication capabilities. She stated that she did not have a radio because here
assignment was just the medical tent. Should someone have the need to communicate with her, she could be
reached by phone. She was always told by someone when patients were coming and what types of conditions,
they were in.
Dr. Barron did not recall when the concert began, but she believed that it was around 9 PM, because that was
when things started to get busy. The first call that she was made aware of was a report that there was someone
down in the concert venue. That patient was a security guard, and he was brought to the medical tent. She noted
that he was not breathing well when they received him, and they gave him Narcan which she stated he responded
to. When the guard woke up, he stated that someone had stabbed him in the neck. She observed what appeared
to be a small puncture wound in the back left side of his neck. She stated that he refused to go to the hospital.
During the time that they are treating the security guard, the tent was becoming very busy. She recalled hearing
that there was a CPR in progress and soon the first cardiac arrest patient arrived, and it was the small boy (Ezra).
She stated that his eyes were fixed and dilated, and he did not have a heartbeat. She stated that they intubated
him and while they were working on him, she was receiving word that there were more cardiac arrest patients. It
was around that time which she believed was 9:45 that the MCI was declared.

Narrative
She stated that Ezra was placed in the bed nearest to the exit where the ambulances were. After Ezra, she
described the remainder of the patients came in groups. She recalled seeing a female come in, followed by a
male, and then another female. In total, she stated that she intubated five people herself while also advising
nurses in the tent who were dealing with other patients.
We asked her about her key observations relative to the cardiac arrest patients that were brought in. She stated
that her first impression was that some type of toxin or drug was used. Later, in became apparent to her that the
patients were not showing signs of having been exposed to a toxin but instead were entering the tent without a
pulse and almost showing no signs of trauma. She concluded that the patients suffered from a lack of oxygen.
We asked her what the other patients and people in the medical tent were saying about the conditions of the
concert. She stated that other commented about how they could not breathe in the crowd, people were getting
trampled, and many had signs of injury. She recalled a time after they had received the second and third patient
when she saw Alex Pollak and told him that an MCI needed to be declared. Alex told her that it had already been
declared at that point.
We asked if she was every told that the show was going to end or be cut short. She stated that she did not hear
anything like that.
We asked about Paradocs' overall preparedness and supplies. She stated that she was impressed with the
amount of supplies they had and during the evening they were never short-handed of anything they needed.
We asked if she has ever worked or experienced an event like this one before. She stated that she has been a
part of many events with some being severe, but this was the first event where she had numerous critical patients
all coming in at the same time.
We mentioned to her that we have received an answer from other Doctors as to why Time of Death was not
declared but we wanted to hear here explanation. She stated it was because the patients were currently being
resuscitated and a few of them had pulses when leaving the medical tent.
Dr. Barron did not recall the time she left the medical tent. She stated that after all the critical patients left, she and
the other staff members still had to attend to the numerous patients awaiting treatment for minor injuries.
Once all the patients were out of the tent, she stated that all of the staff members met as a group and
decompressed. Later that night, she learned that second day of the festival had been cancelled.
We asked her about her professional opinion regarding how long the patients were without oxygen. She stated for
a person to have fixed and dilated pupils which was evident in most of the critical patients, they would have been
without oxygen for several minutes. Also, given the condition of most of these patients, Dr. Barron acknowledged
that it is difficult to "bring back" anyone who was in that state.
End of Interview
Alex Pollak
DOB:
On 02/25/2022, Detective Caten and I interviewed via zoom Alex Pollak who was accompanied by his attorney,
Joe Bailey. The following is a summary of our interview with Alex Pollak:
Alex stated that he is the President/CEO of Paradocs, a company he started in 2014. His company specializes in
providing emergency medical services for large events and gatherings. He stated he has worked many events put
on by Live Nation. He stated that he was advised weeks ahead of Astroworld that his company would be
assigned.
He stated that this was the first Astroworld that he and his company have been a part of. He also stated that this
was the first MCI event that Paradocs has been involved with. In terms of training, all his staff is trained in-house
in what he termed as "event medicine" which is a fairly new concept. He explained that in the past that events
would typically rely on Ambulance crews to transport and treat patients off-side as opposed to what Paradocs
does which is treat patients on-site. Alex stated that his background is in EMS/EMT services dating back to 1999

Narrative
in New York. He maintains licenses and other credentials related to his medical expertise and training.
Event Planning
Alex stated that he participated in a few Zoom calls with other event planners prior to the festival. He stated that
meetings consisted of Production, Security, HFD, HCEC, and many others. It was his understanding that HCEC
worked this event in the past and they seemed to have a lot of knowledge about it but evidently, they had staffing
shortages which led to his company being hired for the event. He recalled discussing matters such as tent
placement and supplies.
When he arrived at the concert venue the week of the event, he stated that he did not get the opportunity to walk
the grounds because there had been a storm. He stated some members of his staff flew in while other drove with
all the equipment. The day before the event, they set up the medical tents and the following morning, they
completed the set up. Alex described the type of equipment they had which included items like AEDs, monitoring
equipment, and an assortment of medical instruments. He stated that had a surplus of equipment/supplies for this
event because they were scheduled to travel directly to Orlando Florida at the conclusion of Astroworld and they
had brought along all that equipment.
We asked Alex about a few key people involved with the event. He stated that he knew who Seyth Boardmand
was and that he had seen him at the event the weekend before Astroworld and he knew that he would be at the
event the week after with them in Orlando. He also recognized Emily Ockenden as a person who was at the event
the week before. He did not recall any specific conversations with either of them prior to the show start.
We asked about communication. He stated that during festival hours he would typically communicate face to face
with most people, or through the command center, or by radio. In the festival planning phase, all communications
were through zoom or phone call.
We spoke to Alex about the difference between this festival and other festivals. He stated that each genre brings a
different crowd which will determine what kind of atmosphere you end up having. For this event, he knew that it
would attract a younger crowd and possibly a different attitude and behavior than other genre/events. In terms of
expectations for this event, they were prepared for some drinking, marijuana usage, broken fingers, people
jumping off stages, and other similar type injuries that may result. In his opinion, Cardiac Arrests are very
uncommon for these types of events due to the crowd being so young among other factors.
During the Day
He stated that he arrived on site at around 8:30 AM. He said that he walked around the festival grounds
throughout the entire day leading up to the main concert. He stated that he checked in on everyone and he could
not recall any significant event taking place during the day. I asked him about the crowds rushing the gates earlier
in the day and he stated he was not in that area when that happened, nor did he hear any communications about
it.
He stated that he spent some time around Stage 2 where a lot of the earlier performances took place. He did not
recall any significant medical events from any of those performances. He stated the most significant injury he saw
prior to the main concert was a bad leg fracture of an employee or stagehand who was also transported to the
hospital.
Just before the Travis Scott concert began, he stated that he was in the pit or the spaces between all the
barricades. He stated he may have been wearing a black jacket and he confirmed that he had a radio on him. He
recalled seeing the countdown clock on the stage. Still before the start of the performance, he remembered
hearing on the radio a staff member who needed help with a combative patient. He assisted and brought a
wheelchair for someone who was hurt. After helping with those scenarios, he stated that he returned to the
medical tent.
When he first arrived at the medical tent, he stated the volume of people in there was about what he would have
expected, and it was manageable. Soon after, he stated they received the first Cardiac Arrest patient which was
the young boy (Ezra). He could not recall how Ezra was brought it, whether it was by police or security. He
remembered that they ran into the tent carrying him.
He stated they moved Ezra to work on him on the beds towards the back of the tent. It was at that time that
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:16 Page 9 of 32

Narrative
another Cardiac Arrest patient arrived in the tent. He stated it was a W/F with brown hair. He described her as a
medium build. He could not recall who brought her in. He started CPR on her.
After the second patient, he walked towards the front of tent and was met by a group of young concert goers
telling him that there was a patient who was not breathing in the crowd. He stated that he gathered a crew and ran
into the field to look for this patient. They located the patient who was a female and brought her back to the
medical tent.
We asked what was going through his mind at this point. He stated that he was shocked after the first patient and
from that point was focused only one working. His first thought was they were trampled but soon noticed that none
of them appeared to have any trample injuries. They also thought it might have been drug related but they could
not tell. He stated that none of patients really fit into the drug category in terms of their symptoms/appearances.
He could not recall the order of all of the critical patients that came into the tent. He remembered the very large
Male patient to be the last person brought in.
He remembered that they got pulse and blood pressure back for Ezra prior to his transport to the hospital. He
stated they were preparing an additional two more patients for transport around the same time. He recalled
running into the Medical Director for HCEC and told him that an MCI needed to be declared to which the Director
responded that it had already been done. He also asked him to get as many ambulances as they could get to
them. He did not recall the exact the time.
Next, he focused his efforts on triage and clearing out the medical tent of all patients who were not critical. From
that point they continued to receive Cardiac Arrest patients and he was hearing on the radio crews responding to
critical patients in the field. He stated that he spent the rest of his time in and around the medical tent.
We asked him about his interactions with Leo Vanegas who had mentioned talking to Alex in his statement. He
stated he ran into Leo near the barricades next to Front of House just before they picked up the third patient. Leo
told him that he was going back into the crowd to look for more patients and Alex told him something along the
lines of "don't die". He also recalled Leo telling him that the show needed to end, and he told him that the process
of shutting the show down at 10 PM had already begun.
Alex stated that he had text message conversations with Seyth Boardman in which he updated him on what was
going on. Seyth had told him through text that the show would be ending at 10 PM. Alex and Attorney Joe Bailey
consented to providing us the screenshot of that text message conversation. He advised us that the time reflected
in the text messages would be in EST as it adjusted back to the time zone when Alex was able to review the
texts, nevertheless, Alex clarified that the texts were sent in CST.
During his time in the medical tent during the latter end of the show he recalled seeing Seyth and maybe some
other Chiefs and Police Officers. He also remembered seeing some HFD Doctors enter the tent, and they were
assisting with patients.
We asked him if he felt it would have been different had the show been stopped at 10 PM when it was said it was
going to end or earlier. He stated that from his experience from this type of crowd, had there been a "hard stop" of
the concert there was a chance the crowd would become upset and make things worse. But looking back, he did
not know at the time that his crews were in the crowd doing CPR. He stated that doing CPR in the crowd for any
period is less than favorable. If the show had been stopped so that the crews working in the crowd could have
gotten those patients out sooner, those patients would have had a better chance.
We asked him about Time of Death and if he believed any of the patients that were brought into the medical tent
were already dead. He believed that almost all the patients that were brought in were deceased. He used the term
"unworkable" as if to say there were very few treatment options that they could do for them. He explained that
they worked on them anyway given that they were so young. Had they been older patients he thinks the scenario
would have been different.
I asked him about the medical cart that was stuck in the crowd. He stated that he did not hear about it again until
the next day on the news.

Nigel Arceo
DOB:
On 04/18/2022, Detective Caten and I interviewed Nigel Arceo via zoom who was accompanied by his Attorney
Chris Davis. The following is a summary of our interview with Nigel Arceo:
Nigel stated that his is an EMT/employee of Ambulanz and he has worked with them for two years. His title at the
time of the incident was that of Operations Lead and Field Supervisor. He stated that the company provides EMT
services and transport along with currently doing COVID testing. He stated that he was not sure how Ambulanz
came to be involved with Astroworld other than he knew that they were subcontracted by another EMS company
called Paradocs. He stated that for the night of the event, they were wearing Paradocs uniforms. He stated that
this was first time he had worked an Astroworld event.
For the event, he was strictly assigned to work with the ground crews. He described the carts that they were using
as golf carts. Earlier in the day of the event, he stated that he was provided supplies for his cart, a radio, and a
partner who would be roving with him in the venue and during the concert.
He stated that he and members of his crew were certified in the State of Texas as Medics/EMTs. On the morning
of the event, he, and fellow members of his staff (about 15 to 20 people) arrived and checked in with Paradocs.
He stated they did not bring any of their own equipment, instead Paradocs supplied them with everything they
needed. He and his staff from Ambulanz were the only ones assigned to work on the mobile carts. He stated that
he began working his way around the festival grounds.
After the gates had been opened, he stated that the types of things he was seeing typical for a festival/concert. He
stated he came across people with some minor injuries, a few intoxicated, and some dehydrated. He recalled
around noon the gate rush that took place and the minor injuries that came as a result. He also observed while he
was roaming the grounds several people attempting to sneak into the venue. He stated that the tone changed
around the time the main concert event was set to begin. When determining who gets transported in the cart,
Nigel stated that it was dependent on the type of injury and how mobile the patient was at the time.
Nigel stated that around the time the countdown clock on the main stage was going, he observed the crowd
swelling and becoming compact. He observed that the crowd moved as one body and there did not appear to be
very much individual movement. During the countdown which he estimated began counting down from an hour,
he and his crews were already moving in an out of the crowd picking up individuals who had minor injuries or
where overheating. He stated they were moving people to medical tent and then returning to the crowd area.
Nigel also noted that there only appeared to be two ways for attendees to get out of the concert barriers. Aside
from those areas, he described the barriers that were placed all around and along the back of house. He
commented about how once a person was in the barrier, they were in it for the long haul because it did not appear
easy to get out.
He stated that the injuries became more severe and frequent when the countdown stopped, and the concert
began. He stated that there were areas in the crowd where he observed panic amongst the attendees, and he
noted how compacted it was in the crowd. He stated there where two types of people in the crowd, the ones that
were jumping around and having fun, and those that were panicking.
During the concert, he stated that his radio was going off non-stop between the dispatcher and everyone working
in the field attempting to report incidents. He stated that Paradocs called for a radio silence about halfway through
the concert. He believed the call for radio silence occurred around 9:30 or 10 PM. He stated that that show had
already been going for an hour at that point.
He stated that his first call during the concert was during the countdown. From that point, he continued to receive
patients who had been pulled out by security and awaiting transport. As the concert continued, he noted that the
injuries were becoming more severe. He recalled transporting people with head injuries and people who had
passed out or were feeling like they were going to pass out.
During the concert, he, and the crew member he was riding with were able to respond to calls and make it back to

Narrative
the medical tent. He stated he lost track of time because the calls were coming in so frequent advising them of
people in different areas of the venue in need of medical attention. They would pick up two or three patients at a
time to save time going back and forth from the medical tent. He stated that he did not transport any of the critical
patients. He stated that most of the critical patients were attended to by the walking medical crews.
Getting Stuck in the Crowd
Nigel confirmed that his cart was the one that got stuck in crowd. He stated that his partner was the one driving.
He did not believe they were responding to any calls at that time because they had about three patients on the
cart who they were transporting to the medical tent. He could not recall who, but someone advised them to turn
and begin heading to the medical tent. This landed them in the crowd until they were pushed all the up against the
barricade that ran through the center of the concert layout.
Once at the barricade, they were advised by a security staff member to direct their patients through the windshield
of the cart and over the barricade. Once they got the patients out, they escorted them on foot to the front of the
stage and then out to the medical tent. Once at the tent, they returned to the cart and continued to funnel patients
through the medical cart until they reached a point where security told them to leave it.
We asked them about the crowd and more details about how the cart came to rest at that position. He stated that
at first, they were driving and honking their horn, but the music was so loud that the crowd could not hear them,
and they did not have sirens on the cart, only the emergency lights. He stated that they were not longer able to
drive the cart, instead the crowd was pushing the cart deeper into the crowd.
Once the cart came to rest at the barricade, he stated that concertgoers were rocking the cart back and forth and
some were climbing on top and jumping on the roof. He stated that they were worried that the cart would tip over
on its side and crush people standing in the area. They had extreme difficulty keeping the cart upright and
transporting patients through the cart and over the barricade.
We asked if he recalled hearing Travis Scott pointing them out. He stated there was a moment when he
remembered Travis saying, "is that an ambulance" but then dismissing the issue and continuing the music. He
recalled feeling relieved when Travis acknowledged them but then the set continued, and people began jumping
on the cart.
We asked about the camera footage that we had showing Nigel standing on the back of the cart attempting to get
the people from off the roof. Nigel confirmed that it was him and how he was trying to tell those who were on the
cart to get off, but they were generally ignoring him. He stated that some eventually complied and got off, but
there was one that was up there the longest and most frequent. He stated that people were jumping on the cart
with such force that he and his partner feared the roof would collapse. His partner placed her hands underneath
the roof to keep it from collapsing on her and the patients.
We asked him to describe the main concertgoer who was jumping on top of the medical cart. He stated that he
was a B/M with a blonde or light colored buzzcut hair style. He believed that he had light colored shorts or pants
and he might have been shirtless or wearing a tank top.
Nigel explained further that they were not carrying any critical patients at the time when they got stuck in the
crowd. He stated that the patients they had began to panic once they got stuck and were surrounded by everyone.
He stated that concertgoers were also trying to grab their equipment and oxygen tank. When they reached the
point in which they had to abandon the cart, they were able to grab their medical bags, the cart keys, and other
important items and continue aiding patients in the field.
He stated that they understood at a some point later in the concert that the critical patients were all coming from
an area in the middle of the crowd somewhere. They could not hear any directives from dispatch because of the
noise so they were unable to locate the areas where the most help was needed. Instead, the moved around and
found patients they could help and bring to the medical tent. He described the medical tent as chaotic, and he saw
a lot of people working on patients and preparing for transport.
He stated that he had lost communication with his other staff members. He stated that he was unaware that an
MCI was declared but he felt like something serious was going on. He stated that he did not document any of the

patients that he treated or transported, that was all performed by Paradocs. After the show ended, he believed
that he and his team remained at the site until 0100 hrs assisting patients and cleaning up. It was not until later
that morning that he learned the show for that day was cancelled.
We asked him if he participated in conversations or ever told anyone to stop the show. He stated that he and his
teammates had conversations about how the show needed to stop as they saw panic in the crowd, the number of
patients escalating, and other factors. He recalled hearing people in the crowd yelling stop the show.

C.) 911 Calls
I reviewed the 911 calls. I observed them to be very emotional and at times difficult to listen to. On May 14, 2022, I
sent a message to Lt. L. Menendez to ask if they have been transcribed for the investigation. He stated the 911
Calls were transcribed via rough synopsis which will be attached to the case file.
***** Early in the investigation, it was perceived that there was confusion between 911 calls and on site dispatch.
This was not ever said by the dispatcher themselves or the officer relaying the calls. This is an assumption based
on a dispatcher relaying the information shortly after 09:00 PM of calls coming in of people being trampled and a
response from the officer dispatcher saying they are sending people. It can be inferred the officer was talking
about the gate jumping at 2113 hours. *****
D.) Officer Interviews
I read and listened to officer's statements we had received copies of. Many of the officers helped patrons by
making way to get through the crowds, providing CPR, carrying victims, and through other means. I have not
listed all of the accounts as they can be read verbatim or heard by officers via audio recordings in this case file. I
am only listing some of which I made notes on.
I listened to Officer D. Viruez's phone call because she was heard on the PD radio.
I listened to Officer N. Byrd's phone call interview for a second time.
Reading Officer's A. T. Yzquierdo's statement, I it was mentioned a Sgt. Maldonado carried a Hispanic Female.
Officer A. T. Yzquierdo describes the female as possibly Brianna Rodriguez. Officer T. A. Peacock describes
being in the main crowd pocket with two males and holding the perimeter of the crowd pocket.
After reading A. S. Maldonado's I saw that there may be BWC for an Officer G. Garibay's BWC capturing bringing
in Brianna Rodriguez into the medical tent. I sent an e-mail to Lt. L. Menendez to follow up to see if Sgt. A. S.
Maldonado can remember when he picked up victim Brianna Rodriguez or if the BWC exists. I contacted Lt. L.
Menendez and asked if he could look into the matter. I asked if he could reach out to Sgt. A. S. Maldonado and
ask if there was a timeframe he could provide or if the BWC exists.
Lt. L. Menendez later contacted me and provided me with file name:
HoustonP_149072421a_20211118_1039 to look in the external
I was unable to locate it. I learned we did not have BWC on the external harrdrives.
I read into Officer M. J. Hurban's statement (Payroll # I saw it mentioned a white male getting CPR and
may have BWC of compressions inside the medical tent.
I made note of Officer D. H. Hudeck may have BWC inside the medical tent (Payroll #
Also made note of Officer E. Holland (Payroll # may have BWC for a white female receiving CPR.
I read Officer statement (Payroll # mentioning he believed he worked on Jurinek.
I saw According to Officer C. W. Rogers that there is a record of arrests and transported. On May 25, 2022, I
asked Lt. L. Menendez about that record.
Sgt. J. Riley's letter (Payroll # mentions officers being notified about patrons climbing the towers and as
they responded, they were getting pulled into medical emergencies. He mentioned going to a Connex Box behind
the stage.

Officer (Payroll # mentioned being with Lt. K. Tolls and issuing a sternum rub on an individual. He
stated they were instructed not to do a supplement at first because this is deemed a "Sick Call" which is a
medical emergency.
In the past, it has been set to not do a police report for medical emergencies. This was the same when I
was a patrol officer on the street unless the need would arise to do so.
I continued on to read the officer's written statements for evidence or clues to BWC footage. I read Lt. M. Cruz Jr.
(Payroll # I read Lt. R. M. Watson (Payroll # who stated Seyth Boardman mentioned patrons
taking the gates would be okay earlier on in the day.
Lt. C.C. Steel's (Payroll # letter mentions the crowd getting dangerously dense with the countdown timer.
Mentions calls for festival organizers to stop the concert.
Commander J. Skelton (Payroll # wrote in his statement that Seyth was advised to shutdown the show by
Chief L. Satterwhite.
I went through all of the written letters we had and believed these were important to document in this RMS report.
I believe SIU's blue-back will contain full documentation of officers involved.
A.) Interactions with SIU
On May 24, 2022, I met with (now Auto Theft Lieutenant) L. Menendez. I asked if I could get a copy of the HPD
Officer's Body Worn Cameras (BWC) after I had been reading the written statements officers had written and
provided to SIU. In some of those letters, there were references to utilizing BWCs while providing medical aid
and/or having a BWC to record someone else providing medical aid. I wanted to review the BWC for the concert
time period. By reviewing the footage could strengthen the timeline for the investigation. M. Barrow and I met with
Lt. L. Menendez in the Auto Theft Division. He provided us with a TB harrddrive that contained the BWC. I asked if
his team has reviewed all of the videos and he stated they should have. M. Barrow and I returned to the office
and began reviewing the BWC.
We observed a few videos where officers were present to victims getting CPR or were administering CPR
themselves. We found victims in the medical tent at specific times. We also received a clearer FOX video and
learned FOX had returned to the site and recorded a large portion of the concert. The video also captures the
HPD radio traffic. I contacted Sgt. Brady and asked if he could work on getting permission from the command staff
to allow us to share some BWC footage and the clear FOX video with MXU. Sgt. Brady told me it was approved,
and M. Barrow uploaded select BWC we had identified and the FOX videos to MXU software. M. Barrow also
made a copy of all BWC to the case file harrdrive (4T). Unfortunately, these videos are no timestamped but will
ask the F.B.I. to implement times for the videos.
B.) Interactions with F.B.I.
On May 24, 2022, the F.B.I. provided us with a rough draft for their final product. I contacted T. Ault of the MXU
and told her there would likely be additional videos added to the final product (BWC and clearer FOX video). She
stated that would be fine and to upload it to the system. M. Barrow uploaded BWC that we located containing
pertinent findings to victims and the medical tent. M. Barrow also uploaded a clearer video of FOX footage.
On June 6, 2022, MXU personnel notified M. Barrow and I the final copy is ready to download. On June 8, 2022, I
downloaded the final copy to the external harddrive.
C.) Interactions with Danny Vargas Continued...
On May 18, 2022, Detective R. Wiltshire told me Mr. Vargas is no longer responding to his requests. He stated he
last spoke to him via phone number I texted Mr. Vargas that I would like to speak to him to
discuss his experience with Astroworld before we went to the Grand Jury. I did not receive a response. As of June
8, 2022, I have not spoken to Mr. Vargas.

On May 18, 2022, I reached out to Attorney Chris Davis. The same day, he stated he would reach out to his
clients and respond back to me. I told him that his client Arceo might be called before the Grand Jury. He stated
he will let his client know. On May 19, 2022, I told Mr. Davis that we would like to find out if there is any damage to
the medical cart, interview the driver, and if he accepts service on behalf of his clients. On May 19, 2022, Chris
Davis told us dates that would work best for his client to come before the Grand Jury. He also stated he is still
trying to work on locating the medical cart and speak with the driver. He eventually told me the cart did not belong
to Ambulnz.
On May 25, 2022, Mr. Davis sent the following response:
"She's been non-responsive. I'm told she's pretty shaken up by this-and it seems apparent that's largely if not
completely the reason she's reluctant to talk. I'll follow up with her, though-as some of her colleagues have been
working on breaking the ice. Thanks."
As of June 6, 2022, I still have not heard about the female driver of the medical cart.
On June 7, 2022, Attorney Chris Davis advised me that he has spoken with Mackenzie Pagan (driver of the
medical cart). He stated he would give me a debriefing for her sometime on June 9th or June 10th.
E.) Interactions with Emily Ockenden
On May 31, 2022, Attorney Molly Pela representing Emily Ockenden contacted me to say Ockenden received a
GJS by a Sheriff in San Diego County to appear before the grand jury. Attorney Molly Pella asked me what are
the questions we wanted to ask Emily Ockenden. Who have we spoken to and is Emily Ockenden a target. I told
Molly everything that I have said in the past about Ockenden not being a target. I told her we have spoken to
everyone else but her client. She stated she would work with her client to provide a statement. As of June 8, 2022,
I have not heard anything.
F.) Interactions with Marty Wallgren
On May 18, 2022, Attorney Andrew Lourie representing Seyth Boardman told me Attorney Charles Flood is
representing Marty Wallgren. On May 19, 2022, I reached out to Mr. Flood and told him we would like to speak
with him. He responded that he would be in touch. On June 2, 2022, I told Mr. Flood Marty Wallgren was not a
target and that we needed to speak with him. On June 3, 2022, He stated he would be speaking with him the
following weekend. On June 6, 2022 after not hearing from Mr. Flood, I reached out about Marty Wallgren. On
June 7, 2022, Charles Flood asked if we could set up a meeting to interview Marty Wallgren. I set the interview via
Zoom for June 8, 2022 at 1500 hours.
G.) Interactions with Matt Eyer
On May 19, 2022, I reached out to Attorney Charles Flood and said we needed to speak with Matt Eyer. He
responded the same day and said he would keep me updated. On May 25, 2022, Attorney Charles Flood provided
an answered questionnaire for Matt Eyer. See below for copied and pasted synopsis. The submitted the
documents Mr. Flood provided will be on the external harddrive and a printed copy will be attached to the case
file.
1.)Were you present at the 2021 Astroworld Festival located at NRG Park on November 5, 2021
Yes, I was present at the 2021 Astroworld Music Festival located at NRG Park on November 5, 2021.
2.)What was your role and company you worked for at the Festival? How long have you been employed by that
company?
I was the security dispatch manager for the event. My duties were to take radio calls for security related incidents
and dispatch the appropriate entity to said call; log incidents and calls for service in the ISS system; act as the
manager for the dispatchers of several security companies present in the Event Control Center. I am an
independent contractor. At the time, I was working through B3 Risk Solutions, LLC. I had been working for B3
since September 2022. I have been doing this kind of work since 1999.
3.) What time did you arrive at the festival?
I don't recall. I want to say it was around 7am. People were already lined up at the gates the previous night so the
/CATEN, J M 06/29/2023 11:17 Page 6 of 51

plan was to open the gates early, around 9am, if I remember correctly.
4.)Explain in detail events you remember that may be significant that occurred throughout the day (BEFORE
Travis Scott's Concert). Examples: Security calls, perimeter breaches, arrests, criminal mischief, bomb threats,
assaults, camera issues or viewing, etc.)
The first significant incident happened prior to the gates opening. The plan was to open the gates earlier than
projected due to the patrons wanting to get first crack at exclusive merchandise. I believe 9am was the time we
expected to open the gates. Some time before 9am, I estimate somewhere between 8:45am and 8:55am, the
patrons pushed their way through the gates, pushing past security and ticket takers. Once the gates were open,
waves of people crashed the gates several times throughout the day, most notably around 2pm when someone
published a video on the internet of people pushing their way through the VIP entrance chutes at the Main
Entrance. By the time the events of the video had been published, gate crashing and fence jumping had occurred
several times. It was very prevalent. - During one set at Stage 2, I don't recall which artist was playing or at what
time, it was very overcrowded. There were people climbing on top of the portos in the porta potty bank located
stage left of Stage 2. There was also a considerable measure of fencing coming down due to pressure from the
crowd in the same area. - Throughout the day, I took many calls in regards to fencing being knocked down,
structural damage to things like bike rack barricade configurations (i think at one point there was damage to a
dome structure that had performances in it due to crowding or people wanting to get in to see an artist, I don't
remember exactly), altercations, people climbing on structures (i.e. portos, light towers, etc.), and medical calls.
None of this is atypical for this type of event.
5.)How would you describe conditions of the festival (if you worked with or inside the tent (before Travis Scott
Concert)?
The conditions of this particular festival were standard for festivals of this size.
6.)How would you describe conditions in the Command Center / Command Post if you worked there (before
Travis Scott Concert)?
The conditions of the Event Command Center were typical for an event of this size. It was a long trailer (or trailers)
set up in typical fashion with tables, chairs, and a bank of monitors at the front to view the camera feeds
.
7.)Did you have radio communication? If so, who did you have access to communicate with and what frequencies
were used?
Yes, I had radio communications. It is the crux of the job that I perform. I monitored and responded to the
"Security Main" channel, a catch all channel dedicated to security requests that is open to anybody with a radio
that is on site. Typically, and I'm not sure if this is true for this particular festival or not, I also monitor a channel for
the Security Managers only as well. This channel allows for the security managers, in this case the B3 managers,
to have direct contact with me, and me with them.
8.)Can you provide names of employees or staff you worked with at the event? Feel free to include HPD / HFD /
Concert personnel that you worked closely with?
Here are the people whose names I can remember: Reece Wheeler who was the Command Post dispatcher. He
handled general calls for service (trash cans need emptied, fences down, etc.). John Saltzman (Paradocs) was
the lead medical dispatcher. Otherwise, I can only recall positions: there was a dispatcher from each of the
security companies (Valle, IPS, CSC, APEX); 2 or 3 Paradocs dispatchers; there was a representative from the
NRG property; 2 camera operators (Unified Command); multiple HPD officers, maybe 2 or 3. Typically we try to
keep the Command Post free of extraneous personnel and quiet (if possible), and we're usually set up away from
typical traffic areas to maintain the integrity of the operation. Otherwise, anybody I interacted with was via radio
communication.
9.)Describe what happened before the concert? Surveillance shows people being pulled out of the crowd? Is this
something you "normally" have seen at shows? Was this concert any different?
I assume by "the concert" you mean Travis Scott's performance. Yes, it is typical at every festival, regardless of
the type of music, for patrons to be pulled out of the crowd, over the barricade specifically, by security personnel.
People often camp out at the front of the stage prior to a performance to get the best possible view. Often the
people that do this are females and/or persons of smaller stature that do not realize how much crowding is about
to happen behind them. It was expected at this festival as well.

10.)What were your whereabouts starting at approximately 2030 hours to 2230 hours? Please go into detail. If you
were with people for the entire day, please add them to this section. Please mention where you moved about the
venue during the concert and after.
I was in or near the Event Command Center for the entirety of the day. I only ever left to use the restroom (a
porto), which was very close, or to grab food from catering, which was also very close to the ECC.
11.)What happened with the barrier near the stage malfunctioned (we have spoken to the barrier supervisor
already).
I don't recall that there was a barricade malfunction.
12.)When someone (if anyone) told you to shut down the show? What was the reason for doing so? What actions
did you take? Can you provide times (phone / text / etc.)
Nobody told me to shut down the show.
13.)When was the first possible decedent brought to the medical tent if known (time if possible)?
I don't know.
14.)When was an MCI declared, if known?
If I remember correctly, it was around ten minutes before 10pm.
15.)Did you or anyone tell you to stop the Travis Scott Concert? Did you or anyone tell members of his team to
shut down the concert? If so, what was said?
I didn't tell anybody to shut down the show.
16.)Did you communicate with HFD, HPD, Security or Paradocs to stop the concert?
I did not communicate with anybody to stop the concert. I did tell the officers in the Command Center that the
concert would be shut down at 10pm. When it appeared the show was still going beyond that time, I made several
calls on the radio to figure out what was going on. The show ended shortly after that, about 10:10pm.
17.)If you requested the show to be stopped, how do you feel your request was received? Please explain.
I did not request the show to be stopped.
18.)What plan was set in place with egress gates and did you play a part in that plan?
The plan at the end of the event was to "blow the gates," meaning emergency gates were to be opened and
obstructions removed for a quick egress. I communicated via the radio with our managers (Omar, Kelley) to verify
the gates were open and free flowing.
19.)Who did you discuss the aftermath of the festival with?
Lawyers, Seyth Boardman, Shawna Boardman, Frank Perez, Marty Wallgren, Knute Brye
20.)When did you leave the facilities?
I left the grounds around 2am or so.
21.)Did you communicate with Travis Scott and/or other people about the incident after the festival?
I did not communicate at all with the Travis Scott camp.
22.)Do you have any additional information that may help this investigation? Can you provide names as to who
might know details we should know in our investigation?
As events were unfolding, John Saltzman (Paradocs lead dispatcher) pulled the other dispatchers aside to explain
that because a Valle security guard claimed he was dosed while pulling people from the crowd, that the leading
cause of the "heart incidents" was that somebody in the crowd was dosing people. We in the Command Center
had no clue that people were being crushed. We saw on the cameras that people were climbing on structures
around stage 1 (camera platforms, scaffolding, light towers, etc.). This happens often at music festivals and
concerts in general. Our concern was getting people down so they didn't hurt themselves, they didn't damage the
infrastructure of the festival, or both. When the MCI was called, it was then we knew something major was
happening and by that point it was far too late. I communicated with Seyth Boardman that an MCI had been
declared. From the Command Center we made sure outside traffic was clear and the emergency gates leading to
the Main Medical tent were unobstructed and ready to receive incoming ambulances or whatever. Reece Wheeler

H.) Interactions with Pyrotechnico
On June 3, 2022, I received the last of the questionnaires that we needed from Pyrotechnico from Attorney
William Buck. It stated the following:
Detective Caten -
Please see responses to your inquiry from Pyrotecnico FX employee, who was stationed in the front of house for
Astroworld
1) Did anyone from Pyrotecnico see anyone receiving medical aid at the Travis Scott Concert? If so, can they
provide ethnicity and gender? I seen the Flashing lights on a medic Golf cart going thru the Crowd, but that's all
we can see above the big crowd.
2) Did anyone tell a Pyrotecnico employee to shut down the show? If so, what were the next steps taken? No
3) Did anyone from Pyrotecnico hear or see anyone talking about shutting down the show or mention medical
emergencies ? Ray and Myself were at the very front of the FOH, and nobody was directly next to us, so we
couldn't hear anyone else talking at all.
If you have any questions, please call me at .
Thanks,
I.) Interactions with Leah Mastaglio
On May 20, 2022, M. Barrow met with Leah Mastaglio and her attorney Brett Young. Leah stated she could not

J.) Interactions with Jay Marshall (Disk 1D)
As I was reviewing the case file, I saw Supplement #006 mentioning Jay. For the ease of access, I copied and
pasted the paragraph I am referring to:
"ON 11/06/21, 1740 HRS, OFFICER B T SHEPHERD, WORKING THE FRONT DESK AT DOWNTOWN
PATROL
RECEIVED A CALL IN FROM ONE OF THE VITIMS FAMILY MEMBERS (DOWLING).
DOWLING STATED THAT HE TALKED TO AN INDIVIDUAL NAMED JAY, WHO STATED THAT HE WAS NEAR

number and spoke with a male. He stated he would call me back to collect his thoughts as he had been sleeping.
He stated he did assist with moving Madison Dubiski. He later contacted me and I recorded the phone
conversation. He also provided a photo via text which will be attached to the case file. The interview will be
attached to Disk 1D. The witness contactd me when we were going out to lunch. M. Barrow used his phone to
record the conversation. See below for synopsis:

help to get picked up. He stated there were people that were non-responsive. He stated it was hard to lift some
people up so he asked for people to help him. He stated it was a group effort. He stated he did not transport the
female to the medical tent. He stated someone took over. He stated they "kind of" crowd surfed her. He stated it
was this event occurred relatively early in Travis' set. He stated he got out of there afterwards. He stated it all
happened very fast. He stated the show started and everything got very wild. He stated he was towards the front.
He stated he began making his way back towards the media. He stated there were areas around the media that
were not as compact. He stated when he was coming on his way back is when he came across a pile of people on
the ground. He stated he tried to help people up. He stated he helped as many people as he could. He stated the
air was very thin and it was hard to breath. He stated he stood on his tippy-toes to breath. He stated he can not
imagine for people that were 5'5". He stated he fell to his knees after a while because he was tired of trying to help
people. He stated he knew if he went down all of the way, it would be a "rap". He stated he made his way back
towards the media area after he helped.
I thanked Jay for his time. I asked for his last name. He stated his last name is Marshall.

5.) Deaths Occurred Based on Findings:
All ten deaths and injuries sustained at the 2021 Astroworld Festival could have been prevented. It is a tragedy for
lack of better terms. There were a number of issues that arose and it is possible that those issues compiled
together is what led to the final result. M. Barrow and I have discussed this investigation at great length over the
past 6 months. Based on the facts we have collected and evidence that had been sought out, we came up with
the following conclusion. Please note, though the conclusions we have drawn may appear to bring about negative
feelings towards the entities involved, many of the events that took place are industry standard. This
determination is based on the information within the investigation we currently have.
Stage 2 shows ended at 2030 hours, which was 30 minutes before the Travis Scott Stage 1 performance
would begin its set.
Direct proximity of Stage 2 to Stage 1 likely filled General Admission Quadrant 1 and General Admission
Quadrant 3 faster than the others.
Patrons overran secured areas such as the media section, barricade walkways, handicapped section, and
platforms containing towers, which subsequently caused a delay in event staff's response and event staff
removing other patrons out of dangerous, overcrowded sections to safety.
No Monitoring of crowd compaction in the Quadrants.
Communication equipment did not facilitate clear communication for medical, security, and production.
Security guards were not adequately trained to work in a festival capacity.
Confusion and delays in communication of 911 calls. (Example: victim's location, simultaneous incidents
occurring, calls being duped).
Event staff failed to check patron credentials.
Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) did not clearly indicate communications between entities and direction for
show stoppage (example: Brent Silberstein stated he did not know why the EOP listed him as a person with show
stopping power).
A possible lack of carnival rides and carnival games usage during Travis Scott's show.
Alcohol sales shutting down at 2100 hours increased the show viewing due to patrons not waiting in lines to
purchase more beverages

Introduction
During this investigation we were made aware of a company called B3 Risk Solutions which is owned and
operated by Seyth Boardman. The company is a security consulting firm that specializes and plans and staffing
for large events. As it has been revealed, this company was hired by Live Nation / Scoremore to Direct the
security for Astroworld 2021. Through Live Nation documents we found that there were a few others who fell
under the B3 Risk Solutions umbrella such as, Shawna Boardman, Matt Eyer, and Marty Wallgren. It was not until
our brief interview with Seyth Boardman that we learned with more context what duties these individuals
peformed during the festival. Marty was given higher priority as it was revealed by Seyth that he played a role
during some of the critical moments that took place towards the end of the show. We sought an interview with
Marty through his attorney, Charles Flood. The interivew was conducted via zoom link scheduled for 06/08/2022
at 1500 hrs. The interview was recording and a copy of the interview will be kept with the case file. The following is
a summary of our interview with Marty Wallgren:
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:18 Page 1 of 7

Narrative
Marty Wallgren
Marty stated that he is employed by B3 Risk Solutions, and he works with Live Nation. He stated that he has been
with B3 since 2016.
The Planning
He stated that the planning for Astroworld took place in 2020 but due to the Pandemic, the plans and design for
this Astroworld festival were not set to happen until 2021. He stated that they (B3) held meetings with Scoremore
Producers early on to determine if they would be using their services for this event. Next, they held several
coordinating meetings talking about the stage set up, gates, and general logistics. As the festival grew closer, he
was aware of several meetings that took place over zoom coordinating with Police, Fire, Producers, and Festival
Management to review and approve the plans for the concert. He stated that he was not privy to those meetings,
and they would have been attended by Seyth Boardman.
In terms of his role and title for the Astroworld Festival, he stated that he was the Interior Manager of Security,
Shawna Boardman was the Exterior Manager of Security, and Seyth was the overall Security Director.
He stated that he has been a part of Travis Scott shows since 2019. He stated that in 2019, Travis fired his
security staff when he still had two shows remaining on his schedule. That was when B3 was brought on and
began working Travis Scott events. He stated that he has become familiar with Travis Scott's organization.
Excluding this Astroworld Festival, I asked him how his experience has been with the Travis Scott camp in terms
of security. He stated that it has been "painful". As context, Marty stated how he remembered when Travis was
just getting his career started. He described how Travis created a chaotic atmosphere with his shows,
encouraging people to "rage". He stated in those days, Travis would encourage and reward concert-attendees to
rage and make there way on stage. To those that did make it to the stage, they were often rewarded by Travis by
him giving them his shoes, or a piece of jewelry.
He stated that Travis' outlook began to change in 2019 when he started dating one of the Jenner's. He stated it
was around that time when Travis fired his entire security after an event when a fan got onto the stage. He felt
there were a lot of contradictions with this outlook shift because publicly Travis would distance himself from that
kind of behavior he had done at previous shows. However, when a show was going and a crazy fan jumped the
barricade to get the stage and security would stop him, Travis would pause the show and tell security to let the fan
get to the stage.
He stated that this was also reflected in his conversations with the Travis Scott team when they would talk about
how they can't allow fans to get to the stage or get to Travis. But when the cameras were rolling it, all changed
and that type of behavior was still encouraged. Marty stated this kind of thing among other issues was very
frustrating and led to him not wanting to work any more Travis Scott Tours. Then he heard that there would be
Festivals featuring Travis which he ultimately agreed to work.
Marty elaborated further that he has worked larger shows and festivals and he did not observe the same kind of
problems that he sees at a Travis Scott show. He stated that some of these events would feature other singers,
but when Travis took the stage was when he would see an uptick in people being pulled from the crowd and
receiving medical attention. Of all the shows and genres, he has seen, he has never seen anything like the
environment that Travis Scott creates.
Expectations for the Festival
I asked Marty what his expectations were going into this show. He stated "mayhem". He stated that he was
fortunate for the knowledge he had about the type of atmosphere Travis's show generates and how this helped
him anticipate certain aspects and scenarios that might arise. He stated there was nothing that was specific to
Travis would have merited a show stoppage. He stated that stuck to the terms and circumstances outlined in the
EOP.
Hiring of Security Companies
I asked him who hired the security companies that staffed the event. He stated that the Companies were brought
on by Live nation/Scoremore but B3 was asked to consult on that decision. They would take into consideration if a
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:18 Page 2 of 7

Narrative
company had bee used before, or if they were local to the area, and the budget. He stated as an example, CSC
Security. He felt like it was a good idea to hire and incorporate CSC into the place because they already work at
the venue and are familiar with the layout. Once all the companies were hired, he and others in B3 would decide
where to place all the personnel.
He described the conversations they had with Security companies and concerns about if they could hit the
personnel numbers they needed for the show. This was a struggle since during the pandemic there were hiring
shortages in general. This led to them breaking up the responsibility between several security companies to have
the numbers they needed.
Communication
He stated that he was carrying two radios during the day. He stated that he could pretty much get a hold of
anybody working the event, i.e., Security, Medical, Production. The channels were broken up so that he could
speak with individuals or groups. He stated that to speak with individual security guards, he would talk to a
dispatcher in the command post who would then relay instructions to the security guard. This was done because
his radio was not the same as the festival issued radios.
Marty described the command center where the B3 dispatch, Matt Eyer was stationed. He stated there were
Police, Fire, Medical, and Festival personnel. He stated that much of their communications ran through Matt Eyer
and were then distributed to the appropriate entity.
I talked to him about the potential criticism that could arise about the lack of radios amongst security personnel.
He stated that the festival provided a certain number of radios which were distributed amongst the security
supervisors. For this event, they tried to establish a security supervisor for every 8-10 security guards. There just
were not enough radios to go around to cover all the guards.
The Role of Security and Police
I asked him what the roles were for security and police. He stated that it differs upon which city they are in. He
stated that some cities have a very hands-off approach when it came to Police presence at concerts. He agreed
that the internal security would handle the crowd and the general occurrences in the festival venue whereas
Police would step in to enforce law and address criminal activity.
For this festival, the genre of music, and the performer, he preferred to have a heavy police presence. He stated
that the Travis Scott did not want to have a heavy police presence, but he could not speak to as why Travis felt
that way. He recalled participating in a meeting on the Wednesday the week of the concert. He stated that many
of the Chiefs were in the meeting, and all came to agreement as to what role the Police would play that day.
The Gate Rushes
I addressed the gate rushes. Marty agreed with me that the gate rushes were an expected event given the history
of the festival. He shared that the Travis Scott team has used footage from the gate rushes in the past as
promotional videos. He also commented on the SM post from Travis Scott appearing to encourage people to
sneak into the concert. These actions by the Travis Scott team were confusing to him because it made him
question the type of atmosphere that they were promoting. Even more puzzling to him was that a lot of the kids
who were rushing the gates had tickets to get into the venue.
When the various gate rushes were taking place, Marty stated he was mobile and attempting to respond to any
area where problems were occurring. He described some of the rushes that took place at main merchandise tent
and how some people were severely injured including someone whose arm appeared to break.
He stated that they tried to adjust the gate rushes prior to their occurrences. He would communicate with those
that were designated as "gate managers" as well as Shawna Boardman who was the Exterior Manager. They
made every attempt to communicate about areas where they saw people gathering to properly move resources.
He pointed out that expectations for some of the gate security was low given the fact that many of them were
working for minimum wage and were not incentivized to give their best effort once the crowds came rushing
through. He stated the advice he gave to these security guards was to do their job the best that they could but to
not put themselves in harms way.
I mentioned another one of the key criticisms surrounded the fact that the festival was not stopped because of the
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:18 Page 3 of 7
Suppl No
1490724-21 0058
Narrative
gate rushes which to many presented a major security risk. Marty stated that he was sure conversations were had
regarding that, however he was not a part of them. He shared his opinion that considering the gate rushes there
was an argument to made that the show should not have gone forward. He drew this conclusion mostly based on
the "anarchy" type attitude displayed by the concertgoers.
Summary of the Day Prior to Main Concert
He stated he drifted around the venue throughout the day. He described the day as hot and there were many who
were experiencing dehydration and other minor medical issues. He stated that he was also attending to the needs
of other artists at the festival. He described how many of the artists and their teams held certain expectations and
they had specific demands that he would push back on, such as not wanting to be searched.
Another issue that Marty noted was regarding the two stages and how they were used. He stated that he did not
think it was a good idea to operate only one stage at a time. For the early parts of the day, only Stage 2 was
holding performances and later it would be shut down entirely, giving way to Stage 1. He stated this was done
because Travis Scott wanted Stage 1 to be the big reveal and the key focus for later in the day when his show
was to take place. Marty stated that he voiced his concern to his B3 team about how this would cause some
uneven distribution of the crowd. He was not sure if any conversations like that was brought up to Travis Scott's
team or other producers.
I told Marty that the shutting down of Stage 2 and the diversion of the crowd onto a specific area in Stage 1 was
one of the causal factors in our investigation. I asked him if it was industry standard to manage the stages in this
manner. He stated that it was not industry standard based on his knowledge and experience. He stated that he
did not know of any other Festival that was dedicated to just one artist like this one. All the other ones he has
been a part of operated multiple stages simultaneously, offering options for crowd distribution.
Marty stated that in this case, nobody wanted to tell Travis no, or that it was a bad idea to set up the festival with
the stages like they were. He stated that Travis appeared to have surround himself with "yes men" and it was
difficult to convince him away from the big reveal which was his main stage and performance. Although he did not
voice this issue with anyone beyond his team, he stated that he was confident that Seyth would have brought it up
with someone.
Events During the Main Concert
Prior to the show start time, he stated that he positioned himself in front of the main stage, preparing for Travis to
take the stage. He stated that he brought water into the pit area to distribute to fans, he pulled security for Stage 2
and positioned them in areas around Stage 1, and he managed the needs of the Travis Scott team describing
them as very "needy". He also ensured that the medical staff was in place and ready to go.
Talking about the "needs" of the Travis Scott team, he stated that they asked him to change the route that Travis
was to take to the stage three minutes before the show, they asked for an additional security guard, and other
stuff that he felt were unnecessary changes.
Prior to the initiating of the countdown clock, he stated that concertgoers were already being pulled out of the
barricade. He stated that this was typical for Travis Scott concerts as the attendees would already be hot,
dehydrated, and fatigue due to standing for a long time in anticipation for the show to begin.
When the show started, he described it has a "whirlwind" and an "all hands-on deck" situation. He stated that
everyone is working and pulling people over the barricades and getting them to where they needed to go. He
stated he could not recall what songs were playing at any given time because they were so busy. He recalled
hearing that Drake was about to take the stage and how Drake's team had a lot of demands that he had had to
deal with such as they did not want to be searched, and they wanted fifty or so backstage passes, and other
demands that were not feasible at the time according to Marty.
I talked to Marty about some specific incidents that took place during the show, and I wanted to see if he was
aware of them. First was the time Travis paused the show to point out a kid climbing in a tree. Marty stated that
that he recalled when that happened, but he did not have anyone near the area to respond to that. Next, I told him
about the media section where the crane arm camera was located and how it got overrun with people causing the
personnel their to call out in distress to Production. He stated that he was not made aware of that distress.

Narrative
I asked him if he was aware of the people that climbed onto the camera platform. He stated he was not made
aware of that as he was Back of House at that time. I asked him about the ambulance cart that got stuck in the
crowd. He stated he was not made aware of that incident. He mentioned that he was not listening in on the
medical channel. He stated that Matt Eyer may have been monitoring that situation. I asked him if he could recall
the time when he learned that the show was not going well or that there were problems occurring. He stated that
he got a sense early on that the show was not going well. However, he stated that the environment and the things
going on that he could see appeared to be normal to a Travis Scott concert.
Talking about a special guest, he stated that it was known that Drake was going to appear at some point. He said
that he was concerned that another guest would appear, J. Prince who is local to Houston and a friend of Drake.
He stated that he understood Prince to be a "gang lord" in the Houston area and they were concerned about him
showing up and possibly bringing armed people with him. He stated that the concern about Prince was voiced to
someone with HPD who he understood was going to contact Prince and find out if he was actually coming.
Critical Moments at the End of Show
He stated that there came a point during the concert when he spotted Seyth and Michael Brown walking in the pit.
He stated that Seyth was taking Brown to show him how bad it was getting. After the fact, he was told that Brown
froze when he saw the kid receiving CPR in the middle of the aisle. Seyth told Brown that the show needed to be
shut down now. As for Marty, he knew that there were only a couple of people that could communicate to Travis,
and he did not know who they were. He stated that he could not get on the radio himself and just tell someone to
shut down the show because it was likely that would not reach Travis' ear.
He saw Seyth and Brown travel to the Front of House Mix area near the media section. He was not sure what the
conversation between Seyth and Brown was, but he assumed that something bad was going on and he was trying
to show Brown what it was. Next, Seyth communicated with him over the radio to tell him that he was going to
head to the gates to open them because they were going to shut the show down. Seyth emphasized that they had
to get all the kids out their safe, so he was going to open all the egress. Marty believed that the was all happening
around 9:50 because Seyth told him he needed about ten minutes to get the gates open. Seyth to Marty that he
needed him to shut the show down at 10 o'clock. The directive to shut the show down at 10 was repeated to
Marty.
Marty stated that he went backstage and located the audio area where he believed there were either
representative for both Travis and Drake. He explained to them the gravity of the situation and told them that the
show needed to end at 10 no matter what. He stated that the response from the people he was talking to was
"Drake still has three more songs". With this response, Marty stated that he began to get animated and telling
them again just how serious the situation is while also showing them what time it is on his phone. He stated that
they continued to pose the same argument that Drake still had a few songs left. He told them they were dealing
with at least three cardiac arrests and that there may have already been loss of life at that point.
Marty stated that he was frustrated because the people back there returned to looking at their screens and he
realized that they just could not understand how bad it was out there as they were caught up in their own tasks
and not really seeing the atmosphere out there in the crowd. Marty stated that when it became apparent that they
were unwilling to end the show at 10, he stated that he was prepared to do whatever it took to shut the show
down, by pulling the plug, taking the microphone, or even getting physical. He stated that he wanted to adhere to
the directive he was given by Seyth, who he trusts, to end the show at 10.
Marty described those who were backstage with him at this point. He stated John Jennell was there and he was
not sure what capacity he was working, only that he was a person of importance in Security with Live Nation. He
stated he saw Brad Wavra and Chief Satterwhite who he believed was the acting Chief of the event given that he
recalled interacting with him during the planning process. He heard Chief Satterwhite tell the audio people that
they had 10 minutes to end the show, meaning the show would now end at 10:10 instead of 10.
Marty stated that at 10:02 he received radio communications from Seyth who was asking him why the show was
still not over after he had told him to make sure it ended at 10. Seyth told him "Why the hell is the show still going
on? Why is the music still playing? What the hell is happing, I told you to shut it down at 10 o'clock" Marty
explained that once Chief Satterwhite was there and provided them with 10 more minutes, he felt like he could not

Narrative
do anything else, and he recognized he really did not have the authority at that point. Marty stated that he stood
there in disbelief waiting for 10:10.
The Argument
I asked Marty who was the primary person he was arguing with prior to the arrival of Chief Satterwhite. He stated
that he saw two people in that audio area, and he did not know either of their names only that they were members
of Travis Scott's team. He stated that these two people by his estimation were close friends of Travis and were
not necessarily in those positions because of their expertise but rather through their connection to Travis. He
stated that he knew that they had the ability to directly communicate to the audio person who could communicate
with Travis and let him know what is going on.
He stated that he was becoming confrontational with those two members of Travis Scott's team as they appeared
not to be understanding that was going on. He stated that both were Black Males. One of them was shorter, 5'8'',
with short hair and a chin-strap beard. The other was taller, 6'5'', braids in his hair and went by the nickname
"Dizzy" or "Bizzy". He stated that the primary person that he was arguing with the shorter B/M and not "Bizzy".
For clarification, Marty stated again that the key rebuttal or argument against shutting down the show at 10 was
that Drake still had three more songs or Drake has not yet completed his set. He repeatedly told them that he did
not care how many songs Drake had left and that this situation was much bigger than Drake.
In terms of physical positioning, he stated that the shorter B/M is standing between him and "Bizzy". He stated
that he was facing directionally 12 o'clock or towards the crowd but backstage, "Bizzy" was facing 3 o'clock and
staring at his monitor, and the person arguing with him was facing 6 o'clock. He stated that Chief Satterwhite
appeared to his left and he engaged the shorter B/M in conversation, not "Bizzy". He stated that "Bizzy" would turn
and engage somewhat in the conversation, but it was mostly this other person. He stated that the argument with
the Chief was the same as before, Drake still had more songs to complete, and it was ultimately agreed upon that
they would have 10 minutes and then the show had to stop.
I played Marty a segment of the audio that featured the voice of Seyth. In the recording, Seyth can be heard telling
someone about the situation (CPRs and deaths) and telling them that they had to end the show at 10. I asked
Marty if he was made aware that Seyth had delivered this message. He stated that he was not aware when he
went backstage that Seyth had already been there. He confirmed that it was the voice of Seyth in the recording,
but he could not recognize any of the other voices.
I played Marty the next segment of audio that featured what were told by Seyth was Marty's voice arguing with
someone. Marty confirmed that it was his voice in the recording. He stated that the other voice in the recording is
going to be the shorter B/M. I asked him about other voices that could be heard on the recording, but he could not
tell me who they were.
He stated that in that recording, Chief Satterwhite was no longer there, and he was arguing with the person again
telling them that the Chief had told him 10:10. The person argued with him that they still had one more song and it
was only two minutes long.
Once the show ended, he stated that he still did not know the full impact of what had happened. He learned that
an MCI had been declared and soon after he was assisting with getting ambulances through the crowd and over
to main medical.
I showed him a photograph of "Bizzy" and Marty immediately identified him as the taller B/M who was looking at
the monitor.
Summary
Marty stated that he felt that it was made clear to "Bizzy" and the other guy that the show needed to end at 10,
and the circumstances surrounding that decision were also clear.
He stated that both "Bizzy" and the other guy resisted the directions they were given and actively impeded the
ability for anyone to stop the show at a time other than the one they desired. Marty stated that he was mostly
talking to one of the individuals but in his opinion, they are both responsible because he believed that both had
received the message.

Marty also confirmed that he knew what a "talk-back mic" was and where it was located. He understood that he
was in the correct area with possibly the only access to the talk-back mic that can communicate to Travis Scott.
End of Interview
Synopsis
The information learned from our interview with Marty shed new light on the interactions that we knew took place
backstage near the audio tent. It was a previously held belief that the voice on the audio recording from backstage
was that of Bilal Joseph, arguing with first Seyth and then Marty. However, Marty indicated that the person he
was primarily arguing with was the other unknown Black Male who he stated was an associate of Travis Scott.
Therefore it has been determined that while Bilal Joseph may have known some information relative to the
situation and the need for the show to end, it would appear that the information was filtered to him by this other
individual.
Following our interview with Marty, his attorney C. Flood e-mailed me Social Media photo in which he said the
unknown male was featured alongside Travis Scott and some other individuals. I copied the photo and sent it to
attorney K. Schaffer and asked him to identify the person and make arrangments for an interview with us. I also
followed up with attorney J. Sutton who represents John Jennell of Live Nation, and requested an interview with
him.
We have presented information regarding this case to ADA J. Lietner who will be accompanying ADA M. Levine
and us for a pending Grand Jury presentation. More details to follow.

HPD Statement regarding the AstroWorld Festival on November 5, 2021.
1.Your time of arrival/departure.
a.On November 5, 2021, I arrived at 13:00 with lunch for the HFD personnel in the HFD Command Van. The
command van was parked across from the HPD command van.
b.During that time, I reviewed the EAP with Chief Koochack.
c.Captain Richter (Special Event Coordinator) arrived around 14:00.

e.I arrived at 19:00 with dinner (for) the HFD command post members.
f.On November 6, 2021, I left the scene around 03:00 shortly after the press briefing.
2.Your role or assignment including location (s) or area(s) covered.
a.My role on the EAP, as prepared by Assistant Chief Mire, was to serve as the Deputy Incident Commander (IC)
for HFD resources and to oversee the activities and management of the event as it pertains to HFD resources.
b.My classification as Deputy Chief grants the authority to take command of an incident as needed or when an
incident reaches a certain threshold or size according to HFD SOGs.
c.Most of my activities occurred in the HFD Command Post between the hours of 21:30 to 03:00 the next morning.
d.Other observational activities occurred from 19:30 to 21:20 during a recon with HPD members. These members
were EAC Satterwhite, Commander Harden and a few others who I do not know the names of.
3.Any medical care/treatment/assistance action taken or observed by you, and did you record any such action on
video or by other means?
a.The only contact I had with anyone was when I saw a couple emerge from the crowd. The young lady appeared
to be having a panic attack. This occurred at approximately 21:20. She appeared to be catching her breath and
her boyfriend attempting to calm her. I radioed to HFD Command what I was witnessing. Within a couple of
minutes, another young lady came out from the crowd near the Travis Scott statue and appeared to be catching
her breath. She said she was having trouble breathing. I radioed and called via cell of what I was seeing to HFD
Command and for them to check with Paradox. Shortly thereafter, a small (medical) team arrived at the statue and
appeared to be assessing the 2 ladies. I only conducted a quick visual assessment to see if they were needing
medical attention.
b.A few minutes prior to these 2 ladies emerging from the crowd, a young man approximately 25 years old,
wearing a San Antonio Spurs jersey was seen sitting in some sort of distress approximately 25 feet from the
crowd. He was soaking wet. He seemed to have come from the crowd. I watched him to determine if he needed
help, however he quickly recovered and walked away from the crowd. Shortly thereafter, the 2 ladies appeared in
distress. That is when I realized that the crowd was compressing, and people were emerging from the crowd
under duress. I radioed in my suspicions to HFD Command.
4.Can you identify all person(s) who may have relevant knowledge of you actions or medical care provided?
a.On or about the hours of 19:30 to 20:45, EAC Satterwhite and Commander Hardin had assisted me in providing
scene access as part of a site recon. Both were near me from 20:45 to 21:20.
b.No medical attention was given by me other than a quick verbal and visual initial assessment to see if 2 young
ladies were needing medical attention. The small medical team arrived, and we left the area to the PD holding. I
was heading back to the HFD Command Post.
c.At this time, Commander Harden was going to arrange for me to return to the HFD Command Post.
5.Any communication(s) you had regarding noteworthy events or conditions during the event, and please detail
the time of communication, the content of the communication and whether you are aware of any video or audio
record of the communication.
a.On or about 21:20, I radioed HFD Command regarding the crowd and the appearance of the crowd
compressing toward the center.

My name is Matthew Lloyd. I am a W/M and I am 54 years old, having been born . I am employed by
the Houston Fire Department and my work address is 5320 N. Shepherd Dr. My work telephone number is
My occupation is Communications Captain.
1.I arrived at the NRG complex around 0700 and left around midnight on the 5th of November.
2.My assignment was to assist the IC and handle communications for HFD. We set up our Command Post in
Mobile Command 008. MC008 was situated in the Orange lot of the NRG complex, along with the HPD mobile
command apparatus.
3.I was in the Orange lot and vicinity the entire time so I witnessed no medical emergencies nor took any video.
4.Members assigned to the MC008 that day were witness to my actions and what possibly transpired on the
radios and phones. Danescu, Koochak, Garcia, Guerra, Sheffield and Sgt Richard were present most of the time.
Other HFD and HPD members came into MC008 throughout the day and night.
5.One of my roles, along with Guerra, was to watch the COH CAD 9-1-1 system so as to bring awareness or
eliminate incidents that might send HFD resources into the footprint, where other agencies had jurisdiction for that
event. After we obtained the phone numbers for the Paradoc contact, I also would call that number and speak to
someone about a 9-1-1 call so they could send resources. That happened a number of times throughout the
day/afternoon/evening. My phone log has been printed and is available. In addition, I would ask the Paradoc
contact about how many people they had "touched" and how many transported. I also had contact with a cohort
that worked with HCEC numerous times throughout the day/afternoon/evening. He and I would talk about how
many HCEC units were available and such. The CAD record reflects my actions in obtaining resources to
mitigate the incident, along with some notes. Guerra and myself also listened to multiple radio channels to stay
aware of what was happening and who was where throughout the day.

(Harris Co. Mutual Aid 13). I don't believe this channel was recorded. Our communications consisted of how many
units they had available for transport and how many they've transported so far. I would also ask for information
about ParaDocs (How many patients they've treated? How many patients they have in the Med Tent?). I had to
request ParaDocs information from HCEC because we had no way to communicate with ParDocs. Later
approximately 3 or 4pm we received a phone number to contact ParaDocs. Sometimes they answered and
sometimes they did not. Some communications came from Deputy Chief Garcia between 9pm - 9:30pm advising
what he was witnessing from around the Main Stage area. It was this information along with our (Koochack, Lloyd,
and me) experience to be Pro-Active and dispatch an EMS Task Force to stand-by in the Maroon Lot at 9:37pm
with the intentions to move over to Gate 16 in the Yellow Lot if needed. Approximately 9:38pm HCEC come over

Department, District Chief, Mohamad Koochak, and Firefighter James Shieffield. I visited the Houston Fire
Department located at 500 Jefferson Street, Houston, TX 77002, 17TH floor and 16th floor. First, I provided the
questionnaire to Houston Firefighter, James Shieffield, whom had previously been notified someone from SIU was
going to be delivering the questionnaire for a voluntary statement.
Houston Firefighter Shieffield stated will contact the unit back, once the voluntary statement is ready. Once done
there, I visited the 17th floor, where I met with Houston Fire Department Chief Mohamad Koochak who stated we
could reach out to his union attorney and provided a business card along with the attorney's information.
Upon returning to the office, I contacted attorney Gordon and left a voice mail providing him with my contact
information.
Attorney Gordon, contacted me back shortly after. I provided him with the information we are currently requesting
for his clients. Attorney Gordon stated will be speaking with his clients and will be getting back to Lt. Menendez-
Sierra. I provided Attorney Gordon with Lt. Menendez- Sierra contact number and advised him to call Lt.
Menendez regarding his answer.

Phone Interview
On November 12, 2021, at approximately 1144 hours, I called HPD Lieutenant Michael Barrow and asked if he
would speak with me regarding the circumstances of this incident. He agreed and provided the following
statements:
1.Lieutenant Barrow was working the event in an on-duty capacity as part of a Special Response Group (SRG)
assignment. His assignment hours were 0600 through 1400 hours.
2.Lieutenant Barrow's regular duty hours were 0700 to 1500 hours, with Saturday and Sunday off.
3.Lieutenant Barrow was assigned to the position of Field Force 1 Commander. He and his team started at the

7.Lieutenant Barrow did not render any aid.
8.Lieutenant Barrow did not administer Narcan.
9.Lieutenant Barrow did record a few videos on his personal device. I provided him my city email and asked he
forward the videos to me when possible.
10.When asked if there was anything Lieutenant Barrow saw or believed might be of importance to the
investigation, Lieutenant Barrow stated (paraphrased), "When I arrived on scene in the blue lot, we were first
charged...in charge of making sure that we provided any law enforcement action to lots 18 and 19 where the
crowd was forming. So I guess there was anywhere from somewhere around 15,000 kids in line, maybe more.
And uh, because I didn't really know what I was doing or what was happening next, I went to Apex Security, and I
said 'okay guys what's the plan here? What time are... How is this group going to matriculate through this
process? What are the steps?' And they said we really don't know. They are supposed to get a medical
screening, show their vaccination card or the result of a negative test in the medical screening, which is the first
checkpoint. And after that then they go to the next lot, and they'll be wanded for weapons or contraband."
Lieutenant Barrow continued, "I said 'okay so what time is this first group going through... we don't know. How is
that going to happen? We don't know. Are they going to open part of the gate and screen 15 at a time? We don't
know. So who knows the answers to these questions?' And so they referred me to Event Security, and I can't
remember the guy's name, but they brought over some guy in a golf cart. He was supposed to be over the whole
thing, and I started asking these questions of him. He didn't know, so I told him this whole thing is fubar. And the
Quest, the private security guy agreed with me and said this whole thing is just fucked up, because nobody knows
the answers to any of these basic questions. At that time, I knew there was no plan, nobody knew what they
were doing, and chaos was going to follow."
Lieutenant Barrow stated, "So about that time bottles started flying all over the place. The kids started throwing
bottles up in the air, and they hit a couple of the private security...armed security people so I got on the mic and I

requested shields for my people...for SRG. They argued with me and said if we get shields then we're going to be
targets. I said well that's cool, just get the shields and whatever gear we might need, and stage it adjacent to us
in the blue lot. They said '10-4...we'll do that.' And they did that. At that point I knew there was no plan and there
was no point trying to talk to anyone on the ground about what the plan was (timing, methodology, outcomes,
contingencies, all that kind of stuff)."
Lieutenant Barrow continued, "So I just got my people and I told my squad leaders, 'we're just going to stay the
hell out of the way. I want these two squads here, y'all stay back, because the crowd is going to come through
these gates. As everyone was predicting they were just going to trample the gates and just run over the medical
screening and no one was going to get screened. That's what the prediction was from all of the private security
staff on the scene. So they knew full well the crowd was just going to run them over. They got prepared for that
and there was going to be no medical check. So I got my people out of the way. I put two squads in one spot and
two squads in another spot out of harm's way. And that is exactly what happened. You'll see a couple videos
from me of that initial rush through the first checkpoint - the medical checkpoint. So it was just a rush through
that, only to get to the next checkpoint which was the wanding - security checkpoint, and they all formed up there.
I put my squads behind Harris County and HPD mounted patrol so we would be out of harm's way, and here they
come again. They were barging through that. I imagine only 20 or 30 percent were actually wanded, but that
might be a high number. They were just streaming in."
Lieutenant Barrow added, "I was told that wasn't part of our plan. We have no responsibility over that part of the
operation. Private security was supposed to handle all of that. You're here for arrest activity - should you be
needed. I said, 'cool... no problem.' That's what I observed. Total chaos from the get go. My goal at that point
was to keep my people out of harm's way... so that all of our Officers got home safe and sound, and nobody did
anything stupid or expose themselves in any way."

hours on Friday, November 5, 2021, and she was to patrol the interior of the fence line. Deputy Andrade was
scheduled to leave work at 00:00 hours on Saturday the 6th of November. I also asked her who she was
partnered with, and she stated that initially she was alone since her assigned partner did not come to work.
I asked Deputy Andrade if she was wearing BWC during the event. Deputy Andrade said that she was not. I
asked her if she took any footage with her camera phone during the day. Deputy Andrade said she took a video
from the outside of the venue early in the shift. I asked her to send me the video.

I asked Deputy Andrade where she was when the concert became a problem. Deputy Andrade said she was at
the front of the stage, but she left early because she was tasked with escorting Travis Scott's father to the back
stage area. Once she was back stage she stayed there out of view of the crowd until the concert was over.
Deputy Andrade said that she was not even aware that anything consequential had happened. Because Deputy
Andrade was back stage she did not have an opportunity to help any wounded people.
Once concert goers were being told to leave the venue, Deputy Andrade said she grouped up with three female
deputies from Harris County Precinct 4. She remembered one of the deputies names as being Deputy Williams
(black female). She stayed with this group until she left work at midnight.

10:29 hours
SPO Alvin Antoine is with Houston Police Department and he was Patrol North Front Desk on evening shift. I
asked him when it was that he arrived at the concert venue on Friday, November 5, 2021. He advised me that he
arrived at about 08:30 hours. When he arrived, SPO Antoine was assigned to the merchandise area. This
location was situated near an entry gate, so SPO Antoine was able to see the concert goers enter the venue
where the security was to conduct their checks and scan tickets.
I asked SPO Antoine how things were as the gates were opened. He started his answer by saying, "Oh my god."
He then continued by saying the merchandise area was "bum rushed". The concert goers ran through the gate
and rushed to enter the switchbacks barricades that were positioned to organize the people waiting to be served
into one long line. Instead of staying in one line the people rushed up into a mob. SPO Antoine said the mob of
people were pushing on the barricades so hard the officers and security personnel had to push on the barricades
from the other side to prevent them from collapsing. The mob at the merchandise area became such a problem
that the area was shut down.
SPO Antione said that the officers were reassigned after the merchandise area was closed. It was then that he
was sent to the medical tent, but things were calm there. After a few minutes, several officers that were at the
medical tent were gathered up and walked to the main stage. Once there, the officers were dispersed around the
front of the stage. The officers had the stage at their backs as they looked out to the crowd. Just in front of the
officers was a line of security officers, and just in front of them was a barricade.
SPO Antoine said he spent the majority of his time at the main stage on the right side of the stage near the center
portion of the stage the extended into the crowd. While he was there SPO Antoine said people were trying to get
the crowd "hyped up" as they threw water bottles. At the same time, SPO Antoine said he started seeing
overheated concert goers coming over the barricades for help and medical attention. Security was also pulling
trouble makers out of the crowd. The people that were removed from the crowd were escorted out of the area by
security to a side entrance. SPO Antoine mentioned that he had a hard time differentiating fans from press and
people being escorted out of the area. I asked him why this was so difficult, and he responded that there was just
too much happening and too many people.

Narrative
I asked SPO Antoine what his impression of the crowd was. SPO Antoine said he believed the people were
excited with anticipation, so when the concert did start the crowd looked happy and excited. I asked him when the
concert was stopped. SPO Antoine responded by telling me that was not sure, but it felt like the show had gone
on for a long time. SPO Antoine then explained to me that when the concert was stopped he stayed in the same
area to secure the stage. Security and police stayed in those positions until the majority of people were out of the
area. The police officers and security personnel then walked into the main area to move the few stragglers out to
the exit points. SPO Antione then told me that while he was working the stage area he never heard anyone say
they were having difficulty breathing, and no one approached him in need of medical attention. So, he never had
an opportunity to render medical aid or Narcan. In the end, SPO Antoine said he only helped one person over the
barricade because the security handled the majority of people escaping the crowd. I asked him how many
people he believed were helped over the barricade. He believed there were about twenty people.
SPO Antoine was not wearing a Body Worn Camera.
Once the concert area was clear, SPO Antoine returned to the merchandise area near the gate to watch as the
crowd left the property. I asked SPO Antoine if the merchandise area was open at this time. He said he could not
remember. As people departed the area, SPO Antoine said the people did not cause any problems, but some
had to be turned around and sent out of the area. SPO Antoine said that he was released from the job between
midnight and 00:30 hours.
I ended the conversation by asked SPO Antione if there was anything that I had not asked him that he felt was
important to this investigation. SPO Antoine said that he couldn't think of anything else to tell me. I ended the
phone call and recording at 10:46 hours.

Ofc. Arguello said she started her shift at 08:30 hours, working the area near the merchandise stand. The group
she was with was tasked with keeping the crowd in the retail area orderly. The detail around the merchandise
area was comprised of about fifteen peace officers, and some Apex Security personnel.
While she was working that area, Ofc. Arguello said the crowd was out of control and they radioed out asking that
the sales stands be shut down. Ofc. Arguello said the officers were being squeezed between the crowd, the
barricades and the sales tables.
Officer Arguella said the officers were able to get the sales counters shut down, when the head of the private
security arrived in the merchandise area. The security manager then settled the crown down and he was able to
get the crowd to get back into lines. The sales lines were then reopened.
At about 10:30 hours, Ofc. Arguello said she took a meal break. When she returned from that she partnered with
Deputy Brown from Harris County Pct. 5. The two then grouped up with HPD officers that work for Southeast Tac.
Once they were together, Ofc. Arguello said they ran from one parking lot to the next keeping people from
jumping the perimeter fencing.
About 45 minutes before the Travis Scott Concert began, Ofc. Arguello and Deputy Brown moved to the main
stage. Once they were in front of the stage, Ofc. Arguello said she saw the crown pushing forward into the
barricade. She specifically remembered a 13 year old female that was crying at the front of the crowd. She also
remembered people calling out that they couldn't breathe. Ofc. Arguello said that officers and security started
pulling people from the crowd. I asked Ofc. Arguello how many people she pulled from the crowd. She replied
Suppl No

that it was no less than 15 people. She added that the other officers and security were just as busy. Ofc. Arguello
said the majority of people she helped were females. Several of those were intoxicated, sick and vomiting, or
bleeding from their noses or mouths.
Ofc. Arguello was not equipped with a BWC, and she did not provide any first aid. Ofc. Arguello said she did
record a short video with her personal camera. Ofc. Arguello that Deputy Brown commented that he was upset
that the EMTs that were hired to work the event were poorly outfitted with supplies. When he tried to provide CPR
to a patient, the medics, were not able not provide him with needed supplies.
I ended the conversation at 09:19 hours.

Deputy Baker work day shift for Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office and he is regularly off on Saturday and Sunday.
I Deputy Baker said he arrived at the venue around 08:30 hours, and the shift was scheduled to end at 00:30
hours on Saturday, November 6, 2021. His first assignment was to be near the merchandise area by the main
entry point by the metal detectors. At that time Deputy Baker was partnered with Lt. Jose Dale. Lt. Dale is also
with Fort Bend County SO.
I asked Deputy Barker how his day started. He said, initially, the day was "hectic" when the crowd rushed the
gate and the merchandise area, but there were no injuries and thing settled down. Deputy Baker and Lt. Dale
then moved to the front gate where they stayed until about 14:00 hours.
Deputy Baker and Lt. Dale were then called back to the command post where they were given a special
assignment. They were sent to the artist lounge. This area was behind the stage area, and consisted of a high
chain link fence covered in a black fabric that provided privacy. Inside the secured area were several recreational
vehicles and a bar. Deputy Baker explained that the officers were to stand at the entrance with security to
oversee the checking of credential as people entered the area. As Travis Scott started his show, Deputy Baker
said he and Lt. Dale were brought into the lounge area. Once inside the gate they were told to deny access to the
lounge to everyone.
Deputy Baker said, from his post, he was not able to see any of the incident. He was not wearing a Body Worn
Camera, and he did not provide any first aid, or Narcan. I also asked him if he had taken any pictures or videos

the people against the barricade looked exhausted and were having a difficult time breathing. He also noted that
many of the people were saturated. He was not sure if they were sweaty or wet with water that was being thrown
around. As the crowd continued to grow, Ofc. Barrett said people were being crushed against the barricades.
Concertgoers eventually started to ask to be extricated from the crowd. Ofc. Barrett said he witnessed lots of
people being pulled into the secure area to escape the crowd. As the people were brought over the barricade,
Ofc. Barrett said many of them were dry heaving and breathing heavily. I asked Ofc. Barrett if he saw anything to

Narrative
As I started the conversation with Deputy Christopher Brown I confirmed that he is employed by Harris County
Constable Pct. 4. I then asked him he was equipped with a Body Worn Camera and Narcan. He advised me that
he was wearing a BWC, but it was not active during the concert. He also told me that he was not equipped with
Narcan. Deputy Brown's normal schedule is 22:00 hours to 06:00 hours with Tuesday and Wednesday off.
Deputy Brown arrived at the venue at 06:00 hours on Friday, November 5, 2021. Deputy Brown was assigned to
the main stage, but as he arrived he was told to report to the merchandize area which was located by the main
gate. Deputy Brown was in the area at 08:30 hours, so he was present when the gates opened.
When the gates opened for the event, Deputy Brown said that people rushed through the gates and then hurtled
over the serpentine barricades that were meant to form the crown into a line for merchandize sales. Deputy
Brown said he didn't see fighting between the people running for the merchandize area, but he did see the people
pushing each other to jockey for position at the front of the sales line.
Deputy Brown explained that he left the front gate area when things settled down. He then moved to the area
between the main stage and the carnival area. He patrolled that area until he was called to his assignment at the
main stage about an hour to an hour and a half before Travis Scott took the stage.
Deputy Brown said that he was on the left side of the stage in the section the extended into the crowd area.
Before the show started, Deputy Brown said that the crowd was filling in and he started hearing complaints from
concert goers that they could not breathe. It was then that police and security started pulling people over the
barricade that wanted help. Deputy Brown told me he believed 150 to 200 individuals were pulled from the crowd
in his area. He then reiterated that these people were pulled out in the hour prior to the concert ever starting.
I asked Deputy Brown if any of the people he saw in that hour were injured. He told me that the people were not
injured, just out of breath. The people would take a moment to catch their breath, and then exit the area. Deputy
Brown felt that the people that were removed were suffering from a combination of exhaustion and fatigue from
being squeezed by the pressing crowd. I asked Deputy Brown if the crowd was agitated and causing issues. He
stated that the problem was more about the amount of people. If a person was to fall on the far end of the area, a
wave of people would fall all the way across the crowd eventually ending with people being crushed against the
barricade.
I asked Deputy Brown how it was that he knew thing were getting bad in the crowd. He answered by saying that
initially he didn't know there was any problem, but as he was walking over to check on the VIP area, Deputy
Brown heard someone call out to him. HE was then tapped on the shoulder and told a man was not breathing.
Deputy Brown turn towards the crowd to see a man being carried along the crowd to the barricade. Deputy Brown
remarked that the first thing he noted about the male was that his lips were blue. Deputy Brown helped to lower
the man to the ground where he started CPR. Deputy Brown then advised me that he used to be an EMT. Deputy
Brown said that he continued to do compression when a medic from Paradocs arrived. The two then took turns
giving compressions. As one continued compression the other would work to clear the man's airway of vomit to
open his airway. Deputy Brown then commented that he did not have the equipment to open an airway, and the
Paradocs medic had no equipment. Deputy Brown said that he called out over the radio that CPR was in
progress, but he was unsure if his transmission was heard.
Deputy Brown stated that he felt that he worked on the man for 15 to 20 minutes before more medics arrived with
a cart to evacuate the man. As additional medics arrived, Deputy Brown told them that the man needed to RSI
(rapid sequence intubation) the man. The medics told Deputy Brown that they didn't have that equipment.
Deputy Brown said the medics only had basic life support equipment, but that did not include airway or suction
equipment. The Paradocs medics did apply an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). The AED was applied
and the system advised the medics to continue CPR, but no shock. As the medic cart neared the area, Deputy
Brown and the Paradocs medics carried the man to the back stage and lifted him over the barricade to be
evacuated. Once the man was loaded the compressions continued. Deputy Brown said that the medic cart drove
out to the roadway instead of the medical tent. Once at the roadway, compression continued until HFD arrived to
transport the man to the hospital. Deputy Brown said that he advised the HFD medic that the man had been
down for about 25 minutes. The ambulance then departed the scene. Deputy Brown said that he had no pulse
on the man the entire time he was in contact with him.

I asked Deputy Brown if he knew who he was working on. He told me that he was working on Jacob Jurinek or
Franco Patino. Deputy Brown then explained that there were two other people getting CPR near him as he was
working on his patient. He believed all the patients came from the same area to the east of the main stage. He
believed the other two injured persons were a male and a female.
Once Deputy Brown finished with his patient he walked back to the main stage. As he arrived the event was
being ended and the concert goers were leaving the venue. Deputy Brown said he did not have any other
incident that night. Deputy Brown said he left the venue at midnight.
I asked Deputy Brown if there was anything else he needed to tell me that I had not asked him about. He said
that he had nothing to add. I told him to call me if he remembered anything. He did tell me that he was going to
send me pictures of the two men that were possibly his patient. Deputy Brown was also going to send me a video
clip he found on line that showed him giving the patient CPR. He also thought that Deputy Mike Jones and HPD
Ofc. Cinthia Argullo may have been near him as he was performing CPR.

I called Ofc. Brown and asked her to speak with me about her assignment for the concert. She told me that she
started her shift at the concert at 16:30 hours on the 5th of November. She was assigned the side area of stage
2. As Ofc. Brown was walking to her assignment she realized she could not make it through the crowd. She then
saw that her partner, HPD Ofc. Jolivette, was near the medical tent. Ofc. Brown joined her there and stopped
trying to make it to stage 2.
Ofc. Brown stated that she and Ofc. Jalivette started a foot patrol in the area around the medical tent. As they
continued their patrol, Ofc. Brown said that she and Ofc. Jolivette linked up with another group of officers because
they didn't feel safe with just two officers. As they patrolled in the larger group they went to stage 2 and the area
to the rear of the stage.
I asked Ofc. Brown to describe the crowd. She told me that the crowd was in a good mood and happy, but as
concerts would end the crowd would rush towards the next stage. Ofc. Brown said that she and her group
relocated to the front left of stage 1 as Travis Scott began his show. Ofc. Brown described the secured area in
front of the stage as a barricade, an open space to evacuate concertgoers, a row of security officers, a row of
police officers, and then the stage.
As the concert when on, I asked Ofc. Brown if she saw any medical incidents. She told me that Travis Scott was
on and she heard someone call out to help a person. She then saw the limp body of a man being carried over the
crown to the secured area in front of the stage. Ofc. Brown said that the male appeared deceased. Once the
male was in the secured area, Ofc. Brown saw an HPD officer and a medic begin treatment of the male. I asked
Ofc. Brown to describe the male that was being treated and she said she believed the man had a light complexion
(Hispanic or Caucasian). Ofc. Brown said that was the only person she saw in that condition, but she did see lots
of people being brought over the barricade to escape the crowd. Ofc. Brown described those people as being
drenched with water or sweat, and in many cases, intoxicated.
Ofc. Brown did not render any medical aid, she was wearing a BWC, but it was not activated. She also did not
deploy any Narcan. I asked Ofc. Brown if her assignment changed as the concert ended. She advised me that
she was near the VIP portion of the stage most of the time, and she only left the area when security officer pushed
the concertgoers out of the venue. Ofc. Brown stated that she was released from work at about 00:30 hours on
the morning of the 6th of November. I ended the conversation at 13:16 hours.

from 06:30 hours on the 5th of November to 00:30 hours on the 6th of December. Sgt. Cole's assignment was to
be near the merchandise tent.
As the event started, Sgt. Cole said his group was between the security checkpoint with the metal detectors and
the merchandise tent. From that vantage point, Sgt. Cole saw the crowd bypassing the Covid checkpoint and
running towards his position. The crowd slowed down for the security checkpoint, but when the gates opened for
that area the crowd rushed through again bypassing the security check.
Sgt. Cole said the merchandise area had multiple sales points, and bike racks situated to create a large
switchback lines for the public to stand in to purchase merchandise. When the crowd rushed over to the bike
racks they began to jump them instead of forming a line. Sgt. Cole then said a male began to dismantle the bike
racks and allow the crowd to pass through the middle. Sgt. Cole stated that the merchants saw the crowd and
shut the sales down. Once the sales were shut down, the crowd asked the officers what they needed to do to get
the sales lines open again. Sgt. Cole told the crowd to reform the switchback barricades and get into line. The
crowd complied and the sales on that side of the merchandise area reopened.
Once the sales area in his area was working properly, Sgt. Cole walked around to the other sales side. The
crowd on that side was still acting disorderly. Sgt. Cole said the crowd was dismantling the bike rack barricades
and passing the sections of barrier away from the crowd and tent. SRG then arrived in the area to help restore
order.
At about 10:00 hours to 10:30 hours, Sgt. Cole said that he was near the security gate when it was breached by
the crowd. Sgt. Cole said several subjects were arrested at that time. When the jail bus arrived, Sgt. Cole said
that Chief Skillern and Commander Lentini sent him on the bus with the detainees. Sgt. Cole said when he ended
up in the purple lot, where prisoners were taken to for processing, he stayed there for the remainder of his shift.
Since Sgt. Cole was in the purple lot, he did not see any of the issues at the concert venue. Sgt. Cole did not
have to provide any first aid or Narcan. He also stated that he was not wearing a BWC.

1445 Hours - Attorney Joe Bailey provided the following information:
1.I sent you screenshots of the texts. There were two screenshots. The dates and times of the screenshots are
easy enough to figure out.
2.What I was confused about is the actual time of the text. I think we may have sorted that out.
The "9:00 text" was sent at 9:00 PM, the day of the concert. That was Central time and would have been about
the time Scott began. The "10:00" text (exactly the same) was (again, as it is explained to me) was when he took
the second screenshot while in the Eastern time zone. Apparently the phone reads and orients to the time zone
where the phone is-even though the text was is in the past. While that makes not much sense to me, that is how I
understand it.
3.Wheeler and Matt Eyers are friends. We are triple checking but there are no texts between those two relevant
to the questions at Astroworld Festival. There are friend texts about other things not dealing with Astroworld. I
assume you want only those relevant to the Astroworld Festival.
4.Same is true about Boardman and Wheeler. There may be other texts neither relevant nor applicable to
Astroworld Festival. Reece is trying to triple check that as well. There may be texts between the two that have
nothing to do with AF. Again, I assume you want those relevant to the questions at hand.

2.) ASM Global Follow Up:
On July 28, 2022, Attorney Brett Young for ASM Global sent the following:
"Good morning gentlemen. Sorry for the late response. I was preparing for a trial appearance yesterday.
The direct answer is no ("did they receive any word of concern for attendees or personnel before the concert took
place?"). No. They did not. Our employees have consistently told us that they were unaware of any serious
injuries or concern for attendees until after the Travis Scott show began.
However, to be fair, we should go back to your chats with our three employees. Leah and David had no real-time
Intel of what was going on in the crowd during the show. That is not really what they were doing. Angela
explained to you and Mike (going by my memory here) that the folks in the Event Control Center (that's inside the
/CATEN, J M 06/29/2023 11:27 Page 3 of 5

Narrative
unified command the trailer) saw a young lady fall off a backboard that was being maneuvered by
HPD/Paradox/private security (I can't remember who was actually holding the stretcher, but you have it on video).
That event is time-stamped as well, so you can figure out exactly when that happened. And although Angela's
job was to field calls about issues in the parking lot and fence jumpers, it is a fact that some time after they all saw
the young lady fall off the backboard, Angela called David Gerdy and Leah Mastaglio about what they had seen.
We think those calls we made a few minutes before 10 pm. However, nobody from ASM/SMG knew the full
impact of that event, or the full scope of the other issues in the crowd, until after the show ended and folks started
to circle up with HPD.
-Brett"
3.) Shawna Boardman Follow Up:
On July 28, 2022, I spoke with Attorneys Andrew Lourie and Sydney Johnson. I told them based on the current
information we have, Shawna Boardman could be a target in the investigation. I read the text messages that I had
received from Attorney Joe Bailey to them. They stated they were aware of the text messages. They stated they
have not spoken to Shawna Boardman in detail about the incident. Andrew Lourie stated Shawna Boardman was
dealing with a firearm incident at the festival. He stated he has to clarify by speaking with her but he believes she
could be in the mindset that things were getting taken care of at the front gate because the location Reece
Wheeler was describing was not the location where the deaths occurred. He stated the location Mr. Wheeler was
describing had HPD personnel, medical personnel, and security.
I told the attorneys that I understand that may all be true. I told them that we do not know Shawna's statement
however and the information in the EOP provided by Seyth Boardman stated she is the security director and
outlined her responsibilities. I told them without her statement, we do not know what actions she took if any when
receiving the text message. I told them the investigation is still civil in nature but we have to investigate all
possible criminal elements and that I wished to provide the most thorough investigation possible. The attorneys
told me that they understood and would reach out to Shawna to provide insight.
4.) Matt Eyer Follow Up:
On August 1, 2022, I spoke to Attorney Charles Flood representing Matt Eyer. I told him we had information
indicating Reece Wheeler knew the concert could become dangerous at approximately 2100 hours. I asked if he
could speak to his client and find out what information Mr. Reeler relayed over to Matt Eyer. I told Mr. Flood there
is a questionnaire from Mr. Wheeler stating he spoke with Eyer and we needed further context of their
conversation.
5.) Unified Command Follow Up:
On August 2, 2022, M. Barrow and I spoke with Attorneys Joe Bailey and Ray Neuer. We told them we needed
further pertaining to Reece Wheeler's responses to the questionnaire. We stated we needed to know when and
who Mr. Wheeler told information. We also stated we needed to know what was the extent of the context stated. I
provided examples of the text to Shawna and if the severity of what he was seeing was relayed to other members
within the Command Post. I also asked if that was the responsibility of Unified Command. Attorney Ray Neuer
clarified again stating Unified Command was to setup the command post and to provide a live feed of footage
from the camera systems. Nothing more. After ending the phone call, I sent the following questions to Attorney
Ray Neuer who stated he received them:
1.)What is the phone number that you had when you texted Shawna Boardman the text message?
2.)The text message is documented at 09:00 PM. What time did you notify Matt Eyer and Paradocs of issues?
3.)What was the context of the notifications relayed to Matt Eyer and Paradocs? Was it as severe or more severe
than the opinion made to Shawna Boardman?
4.)Did you notice anyone telling HPD personnel to stop the show or relaying emergency information to HPD
personnel?
6.) Paradocs Follow Up:
After M. Barrow and I hung up the phone with Attorneys Joe Bailey and Ray Neuer, we contacted Attorney Joe
/CATEN, J M 06/29/2023 11:27 Page 4 of 5

Narrative
Bailey to discuss Paradocs. He provided the following information:
Paradocs did not recall times. Jon Saltzman was focused on medical personnel and his job at hand. He does not
remember the rank but there was an HPD personnel in the command post for the entire time. Jon Saltzman stated
if he had to guess it was a male and a sergeant. He stated he relayed information to the HPD personnel that
people were in cardiac arrest and the officer asked if that meant they were having a heart attack. He stated he
became frustrated because the police officer did not know about medical. He stated he does not know what time
that was. He stated from there, it turned into an MCI.
I spoke to Sgt. Velasco in IAD and asked how he wished us to continue this information. He stated he would get
with his chain of command and let us know for further instruction.
7.) Madison Dubiski Family Notification:
On August 4, 2022, Madison Dubiski's mother contacted me via I introduced myself and offered
my condolences. I went into to describe how the investigation was going and how it was split up. I told her the
abnormalities this case had such as little to no contact with family, civil attorneys, slow pace of gathering
information, etc. She was very understanding and stated she knows the investigation is a large endeavor. She
asked if her attorney had been in contact. I told Mrs. Dubiski that her attorney has been the least responsive. I told
her the case would go before a Grand Jury eventually and we are continuing to work the investigation. Mrs.
Dubiski was thankful and did not know the case would go before a Grand Jury. She also stated she was under the
impression that her loved one did not make it inside the medical tent. I told her that was not the case. I went on to
talk about the witness that I spoke with that tried to help her. I also told her there is BWC footage of Madison
inside the medical tent receiving medical aid. I told her she could text or call should she have any further
questions. I told her that I have heard the DA's Office and/or PD would eventually reach out to the families before
this goes to Grand Jury. She thanked me for the work and updates. I offered my condolences again.

After making multiple attempts to contact Fire Marshal Singleton I was able to get on the phone with him. I began
by explaining who I was and why it was I was calling him.
I began the interview by asking Fire Marshal Singleton if he remembered hearing information about the status of
the crowd or CPR in progress. Fire Marshal Singleton stated that he was not told anything specifically, but he
overheard conversations that CPR was in progress. I asked Fire Marshal Singleton what his assignment was for

the concert. He advised me that he was assigned to the "Integrated Operations Center" in the Purple Lot. Within
the room, Fire Marshal Singleton said he was in the back corner at his workstation. While in the Integrated
Operations Center, Fire Marshal Singleton's job was to relay information from the center to the officers working in
the parking lots and working traffic. Fire Marshal Singleton then explained that he was also assigned to relay
messages to an on duty HPD sergeant that was working in the center. Fire Marshal Singleton sounded frustrated
as he told me that the sergeant unaware that they had been working on the same radio channel for the 12 hours
of the show. I asked him who the sergeant was, and Fire Marshal Singleton told me that he did not remember
because it had been a while since the incident.
I asked Fire Marshal Singleton if he could recall the time he first heard about CPR being in progress. He stated
that he could not remember the time. I asked Fire Marshal Singleton if he remembered hearing anyone from the
"Unified Command" advising that persons were down on the concert grounds. Fire Marshal Singleton asked me,
"What Unified Command?" He then told me that he believed there were three different command centers at the
event. He added, "There was no such thing as Unified Command." I asked Fire Marshal Singleton if he
remembered when it was that he heard people were down on the concert grounds. He said that it was after he
had seen the crowd surge on the TV. He added, at the time he saw the surge he did not understand what it was
he was seeing, but now that he understands what he saw he still has nightmare about the incident.
I asked Fire Marshal Singleton if he had to take any actions or make any notifications at the Command Center
once the emergent incident started. Fire Marshal Singleton stated that the only action he took was to call out the
officers in the parking lots and working traffic to expect a crowd since the concert was being stopped early. I
asked Fire Marshal Singleton if he remembered what time he made that announcement. He could not remember
the time. I asked Fire Marshal Singleton who told him to make the announcement. He stated that there was a
man in the front of the room that was the "Dispatcher". The Dispatcher was a civilian that was an employee of the
concert production company. Fire Marshal Singleton stated that the Dispatcher stood up in front of the room and
told everyone to get ready because the show was ending in five minutes.
The interview and recording were ended at 08:37 hours.

-Conclusion
Interview with Brent Silberstien

As this investigation continues, we have met in consultation with the Harris County District Attorney's Office, ADA
J. Leitner, M. Wilhelm, and M. Levine. As part of a review of the case, it was desired that we gain a better
understanding of the role of the Emergency Operations Plan in conjunction with any other documents related to
security procedure and policy. Earlier in our investigation, we received cooperation from one of the people listed in
the EOP, Brent Silberstein. We determined that it would be best to interview him again if we wanted to gain
additional insight given his knowledge of the industry and the role he played in this event. Also, the previous
recorded interview was damaged and unrecoverable. Detective Caten reached out to Attorney C. Downey, who
agreed to hold a conference-call interview with us along with his client, Brent Silberstein. The conversation was
recorded. The following is a summary of our interview with Brent.
Interview date: 09/01/2022
Purpose of the EOP
I asked Brent to review with us the purpose of the Emergency Operations Plan and how it is followed.
He stated that the EOP is a standard document that is presented to him and others by the Safety Management

Narrative
Director. He stated that sometimes the Safety Director would be the one who puts the document together or at
times a third party will create it. The document generally outlines the standard procedures to be followed.
He stated the EOP is in place to serve as a structure, an outline, and a guideline of best practices for that event. It
is something for all the employees to go by, universally. It does not go into specifics but generally covers a variety
of incidents and the appropriate responses to each one. He described it as kind of like an employee manual, so
that all who are hired to work an event may receive it and know the general standards for that event.
Detective Caten asked when the EOP goes into effect and if there is one for every event. Brent stated that there is
supposed to be an EOP for every type of event that entails a large gathering of people. In terms of who will draft
the EOP, Brent stated that it is usually the security team, but in some cases, it is third-party. He provided the
example of Unified Command as a third party that could draft an EOP (he mentioned that they have done
approximately 300 or so over the last few years). The Director of Security will provide input to the third-party
writing the EOP.
Drafting the EOP
Speaking about Seyth Boardman, Brent could not confirm whether Seyth drafted the EOP for Astroworld or if it
was completed by a third-party. He stated that he knew Seyth contributed to it. He stated that Seyth was the one
who distributed it to them (the stakeholders or department heads). Also, for clarification, Brent stated that it was
not like a contract or a document they had to agree to, it was simply handed to them.
Brent stated that he was told at the time he received the EOP document that he along with others were listed in
the document as people with power "shunt" authority. He was told that he would be in attendance of the security
meetings and would also be a person seen as being a "decision maker".
I asked him if there were any other safety related documents or other written standards pertaining to safety other
than the EOP. He stated there were no other documents other than the EOP that were used for this event.
Awareness to Any Emergency Messages
Detective Caten asked if Brent was ever made aware before, during, or after the show, of messages coming out
of the Command Post regarding emergency or safety concerns. Brent stated that he was not aware of anything
like that.
Incident Management Software
I brought up the existence of the Emergency Management System which I have offered referred to as a Log
during this investigation. I asked if it was a System that allowed others to be notified in real-time when a new
incident occurred, or did it only comprise of information to be reviewed once the event concluded. He stated that
for Astroworld, he was not sure if it was a live-running document. If it was, he was not including or receiving
notifications. He mentioned that in other events he has attended, he would receive text message updates from the
system alerting him to things going on at the venue. Sometimes they would be given access to a portal, but
nothing like that happened for Astroworld.
Brent detailed that although the incident management system was more for documentation purposes in this case,
the person in the Command Post from Unified Command was positioned in the Command Post to alert others to
things that he was seeing.
Power "Shunt" Authority
Brent stated that he was told about his placement on the EOP and how he was considered to be one of the
decision-makers. However, this would mean that should he become aware of an incident, he would then notify the
Director of Security in order for next step in the process to occur, or the action.
I asked him what the difference were between the show shut down authority and power shunt authority, as they
are two different items on the EOP. He stated that he did not understand why both of those were used. He stated
the first instance on the EOP describing the show shut down authority is more in line with the procedure to be
followed in the event of an emergency. He stated that no one would just walk up and turn off all power as that
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:27 Page 2 of 3

Narrative
could create other problems and hazards. Instead, that power shunt would be more in line with cutting power to
certain things and diverted power or attention to items of more importance depending on the scenario and
operational need.
The point was emphasized by both Brent and his lawyer, Mr. Downey, that the EOP made it so that the decision
to stop or end the show would be a group decision. The process would begin with notifying Seyth Boardman
which would in turn lead to additional notifications and actions.
Reviewing his Previous Statement
We reviewed and confirmed points of Brent's previous statement to us regarding his interactions with Emily
Ockenden during the concert. After review, nothing was changed, and he has not since had any contact with
Emily nor has anyone provided insight to him as to what she saw or experienced at the concert.
He confirmed that he had only one communication with Seyth during the concert and that was by radio towards
the end of the show. He recalled Seyth advising him that he was opening the egress gates. Also, he confirmed
that he saw a person receiving medical treatment in the main chute but did not realize at time what the nature of
the injury was or if there were others. He did not come to realize that anything catastrophic had occurred until he
visited the medical tent around 10:40 PM.
End of Statement.
Conclusion
****************
Of the "stakeholders" of Astroworld, Brent remains the only one to cooperate fully by providing multiple complete
statements. Seyth Boardman has provided a limited statement, and Shawna Boardman has provided a statement
through her lawyers. Emily Ockenden has yet to cooperate in the investigation.
During this investigation we have accumulated many files, documents, and videos which have been compiled and
stored on large capacity external drives. At the request of the ADA J. Leitner we have created a copy of all our
files (with the assistance of Sgt. K. Dagnault) for the DA's to review.
The Investigation continues.

Following our interview with Knute Brye of B3 Risk Solutions, we learned of some additional entities that were
involved with Astroworld in some capacity. Those entities were:
IPS Security Inc
1911 Carnegie Ave. #2a
Santa Ana, CA 92705
Human Resources: <mailto: , contact #
On 09/21, I sent a GJ subpoena prepared by ADA M. Levine to the Human Resources Department of IPS. I called
them on 09/29 after not receiving any confirmation that they received it. I spoke with Gina Masina who stated that
the request was sent to legal and was being processed.
Insomniac Holdings LLC
9441 Olympic Blvd.

As of 09/29/2022, I have not been successful in establishing contact with Insomniac. I e-mailed Live Nation and
Latham & Watkins attorney Brian Kowalski to see if he had a contact with them that would accept service of a
subpoena.
Covenant K9, Kara Dyson
**********************
We wanted to follow up with Kara Dyson, the lead K9 Officer at Astroworld. It had been stated by the Attorneys of
Shawna Boardman that a K9 Officer communicated with her around the time she was receiving messages from
Reece Wheeler (9pm). The communications were said to pertain to weapons inside a vehicle at the artist entrance
gate. I contacted Kara Dyson on 09/21 and held a brief follow-up interview pertaining to this interaction:
Kara stated that she recalled locating weapons in a vehicle. The vehicle was associated with the manager of the
artist, "the Weekend" but the firearms were purportedly belonged to the driver of the vehicle. She stated that she
would have notified Shawna of this incident and then the Police or reported to the scene.
Kara recalled sending Shawna photos of the firearms from the vehicle. She stated that she did not see Shawna at
this scene.
On 9/29/2022, Kara sent me screenshots of the text conversation she had with Shawna about the weapons.
Those photos will be included with the case file.
End of Interview.
* After review of the text messages, the conversation about the guns appeared to begin at 9:01pm on 11/05/2021.
Several photos of the guns appear, and the conversation shows Kara asking Shawna on how they should
proceed with the situation. Shawna tells Kara to contact the Command Center and request Law Enforcement.

Miscellaneous Follow Up
*************************
As part of this investigation, we were asked by the District Attorney's Office to inquire about the Playboi Carti
concert that was cancelled on October 24, 2021 (a week before Astroworld). After research and according to
news reports, the event was supposed to be held at NRG stadium. Concertgoers who had been standing outside
for hours to get inside had begun to engage in unruly behavior, destroying property, moving gates, and engaging
in fights. When the concertgoers learned that the show had been cancelled, "chaos" erupted, and metal detectors
and other property were damaged or destroyed. According to one news report, NRG park released a statement,
"Last night in the interest of public safety and on the advice from the Houston Police Department, the Playboi Carti
concert scheduled for NRG Arena was canceled. The safety of all guests, staff, and artists is our highest priority."
According to our internal investigation into the matter, we learned that Chief Finner and Assistant Chief Tien were
involved in the advisement for the show to be cancelled due to the unsafe conditions created by the crowd.
The investigation continues in later supplements.

2.) Follow Up Investigation:
A.) Interactions with Boardman Attorneys for Shawna Boardman Statement:
August 19, 2022
M. Barrow and I spoke with Attorneys Andrew Lourie and Sydney Johnson who are representing Shawna
Boardman and Seyth Boardman. They requested we do not record the interview. They also stated they would
provide a statement from Shawna Boardman pertaining to the text message from Reece Wheeler and some
actions that he took. I took the following notes form our conversation:
Upon receiving the message from Reece Wheeler, Shawna Boardman went straight to the right side of the stage,
more specifically, Stage Right. Mr. Lourie wanted us to note that this is not where the deaths occurred. They
stated Shawna walked up and down the barricade. That she did not see anyone unconscious. Her attorneys told
us Shawna Boardman was made aware of a person unconscious at the other stage (Stage 2; which has been
documented).
/CATEN, J M 06/29/2023 11:27 Page 7 of 24

1490724-21 0076
Narrative
Her attorneys went on to say Shawna realized Reece was wrong in his assessment. Shawna went to the area to
make sure it was populated with the correct staff. She saw paramedics, police officers, security guards, and no
unconscious people. Shawna did not see any panic and saw a strong police presence. She said police were
taking pictures of the show with their phones which reflected the matter as not extremely dangerous or a sense of
emergency.
The attorneys' stated people were coming over, behind helped, and walked away. That he was incorrect about
people being unconscious. When CPR comes up, you see when the security response begins. PD is going into
action and Seyth is shutting it down. None of that was happening at 09:00 PM.
Shawna Boardman did not relay information in the text to anyone. She did not reply to him. He does not get on the
radio or tell anyone else.
Andrew Lourie stated Shawna Boardman made sure the security guards from Stage 2 came over to Stage 1 for
extra security after the show had ended. They stated this added 120 extra guards in the barricades. Shawna said
there were over twenty B3Risk managers within the barricades. At this time, there were no reports via radio
communications of something going wrong following the text message.
Boardman's attorneys continue by saying Shawna received a text from someone at the K9 Unit (believed to be
civilian side) who had found serious weapons and the manager over there needed help on how to handle the
issue.
Shawna responded to the manager that she is in the barricade with limited reception. She texted, "In barricade.
Zero reception". The attorneys mentioned the EOP people that can shut down the show are within the barricade.
She tells the person dealing with the gun issue to get with command for the guns. She went with Seyth for egress
after it was reported people were dying. She did not go back-stage. She sees someone down needing CPR
separately from Seyth and they did not see the same victim. She finds Seyth to tell him of the person down and
then she goes with Seyth to egress.
We asked if Shawna shared any of this information about the text message from Reece Wheeler. They stated she
did not. They stated she remained within the barricades throughout the entire concert until egress. They stated
she saw things were not as bad as Reece Wheeler stated. The attorneys shared their opinions in saying Shawna
to report the text information to the police would be redundant as they were already in the area and no one was
responding to an emergency. They added Reece Wheeler was inexperienced with crowds and did not utilize his
radio to share the emergency if he truly believed there was one.
Boardman's attorneys referenced page 9 of the EOP where it states communication should be conducted on the
radio. They stated Matt Eyer is B3Risk and he was to facilitate communications from the command post to other
B3Risk personnel. They stated only Reece Wheeler has this first perception. They also added Reece has not
done a lot of shows. They added the radios are there to be utilized for an emergency and text messages should
not be an expected way to communicate.
Attorneys Andrew Lourie and Sydney Johnson also provided Chief Satterwhite, possibly Chief Finner, and Seyth
had a conversation about not continuing the show to Saturday after all of the chaos going on the first day.
Knowing how chaotic everything is, there has to be a decision as to how chaotic things have to be to slow things
down.
They stated they would be coming to Houston, Texas to put on a presentation for B3Risk Solutions so they can
share insight to their client's position. We told them that would be great. As of September 1, 2022, we are set to
meet with the attorneys on September 20th, and September 21st.
A1.) Interactions with Boardman Attorneys in Houston
On September 21, 2022, Attorneys Andrew Lourie and Sydney Johnson came to HPD at 1200 Travis St to put on
a presentation representing their client, Shawna Boardman. Boardman's attorneys are concerned Shawna
Boardman might be indicted in a Grand Jury so they wanted to state their case. The meeting was at the request of
Andrew Lourie and Sydney Johnson. I had offered to show them some maps, basic PowerPoints, and the F.B.I.
video. As it has been stated previously in this report, M. Barrow and I try to be transparent for many parts of these

investigations for the attorneys as they do not HAVE to cooperate. We have felt it appropriate to share some
information to get information for this case.
In attendance of the meeting were as follows:
Commander Spears
Lieutenant Hope
Detectives Barrow and Caten
A.D.A Leitner, A.D.A. Levine, and A.D.A. Wilhelm
Attorneys Andrew Lourie and Sydney Johnson
Highlights:
Seyth Boardman made requests to the concert venue to alleviate potential issues. According to the attorney's
Travis Scott and his team ignored these requests. Examples given were:
Have two concerts going on at the same time (Stage 1 and Stage 2).
Have additional concerts onto Stage 1.

Highlights Pertaining to 11/05/21:
Seyth Boardman stated he delivered Chief Finner to have a meeting with Travis Scott before the show. He
stated he does not know what was said in the meeting.
Shawna Boardman was dealing with an issue at 8:45 P.M. with a barricade being overrun where the
barricade shifts out by the tree (can be seen by the map) north of Quadrant 2.
Shawna received the text from Reece Wheeler and responded to area. Did not notify anyone else and
believed the message from Wheeler to be false.
No additional reports utilizing the word "unconscious" by HPD, Paradocs, HFD, or Unified Command until
way beyond 09:00 P.M.
Shawna Boardman found Emily Ockenden at one point of the concert (believed to be in 9:30 P.M. 09:45
P.M.) in which she and Emily Ockenden found a patron receiving CPR. She went to look for Seyth.
Upon her finding Seyth, she and Seyth went to egress at Lantern and McNee. When they realized the show
did not end at 10:00 P.M., they began running towards Travis Scott's stage. Before they could get there, 10:12
had passed and the show ended. They responded to the medical tent.
In Depth Synopsis:

1490724-21 0076
Narrative
The meeting took place at approximately 0930 hours. Boardman's attorneys provided a presentation pertaining to
Astroworld in which they showed a short PowerPoint. The PowerPoint's purpose to assist in setting the
groundwork for how Seyth and Shawna Boardman became involved. They highlighted how much they were paid
(B3Risk received approximately $70k which was decreased since the concert did not go onto day 2).
They also mentioned Travis Scott's previous performances and how he/his promoters tend to incite rage or to
bring a "raging" crowd. They cited the previous concerts he was in along with his charges. The attorneys provided
some background history for Shawna and Seyth Boardman.
More specifically, they advocated Shawna Boardman innocence and their concerns that a Grand Jury will/or can
indict via direction from the District Attorney's Office. Attorney Andrew Lourie cited Texas case statutes pertaining
to "Negligent Homicide" and how their client(s) did not fall within the realm of said statute.
They continued to state their case which led to arguing points of either side. M. Barrow and I asked a few
questions as to why this information was not presented to us earlier in the investigation and things of that nature
pertaining to the investigation. We were told because they only answered the questions specific to what was
asked because they did not know what would be relevant for our investigation.
The meeting ended rather abruptly and unexpectedly with A.D.A. J. Leitner wanting to leave and began walking
out. We did not show Boardman's attorneys any parts of our investigation, the FBI videos, or any maps. They
brought material to perhaps give us but it is unclear if that was their intent. We gave them multiple questions that
they stated they would work on and get back with us. I apologized for the abrupt ending to the meeting and
thanked them for flying all this way to present to us to assist in the investigation. I later found out Lt. S. Hope told
M. Barrow not to provide a presentation to the attorneys after he believed the meeting had not gone well with the
abrupt leaving of A.D.A. J. Leitner
As of October 9, 2022, I have not heard from the attorneys for follow up with the questions we requested to be
answered.
B.) Interactions with Paradocs John Saltzman (Interview #2) (Disk J):
On August 23, 2022, I held a phone interview with John Saltzman and his Attorney Joe Bailey. It was as follows:
August 23, 2022
I introduced myself and asked for John Saltzman and Joe Bailey to state their names for the recording. We then
began the interview. John Saltzman stated he is the Director of Communication for Paradocs. John Saltzman
stated he was the head of the three person dispatch team for Paradocs. I asked specifically about 09:00 P.M. and
asked if there were any employees or personnel in the command post talking about people unconscious or people
dying. John Saltzman stated not at that time, "no". I asked if he could pin-point the time when he did hear that. He
stated he thinks that his team was the first contact with critical patients in the field. He stated it was directly to
him. Mr. Saltzman stated as far as personnel in the command center, he and his team were the first to know of
critical patients and how things were going.
I asked if he received that notification via radio communications. He stated yes. He stated it was from his
supervisor and his teams calling in for critical patients. He stated it was his opinion that no one knew how critical
things were until he made them aware within the command post. He stated he reported cardiac arrest patients. He
stated most of the people knew that it was not a common type event. He stated things were getting out of hand
and crazy. He stated no one knew to what capacity until his teams started reporting critical incidents in the field. I
asked about the Unified Command monitors and asked about the crowd swaying in the crowd and how it was a
normal occurrence. I clarified that nothing stood out to being a problem. Mr. Saltzman stated there is a middle
ground to that statement .He stated if he was only going on what he was seeing on the monitors, it looked hectic
and crazy. He stated he had his team to report issues. He stated what he saw on the monitors was not something
he had not seen before.
Mr. Saltzman stated he knew they were in for a crazy night with the crowd. He stated they knew that they had
their work cut-out for them as far as medical goes. He stated he would not be able to tell from the monitors alone
that they had gotten past a critical point within the show. He stated his opinion that what he believes happened
/CATEN, J M 06/29/2023 11:27 Page 10 of 24
Suppl No
1490724-21 0076
Narrative
that night was a "critical crowd surge" and that it is also impossible to differentiate that action vs a happy /
energetic crowd. He stated it is hard to ascertain that just from the view. He stated it was reports from his crews
about things being hectic that alerted him. He stated it was around 09:10 P.M. to 09:15 P.M. was the time that he
reached out to his primary supervisor and found out that he had a number of serious patients at the front of the
stage already. He stated it was not a few minutes after that when he learned of cardiac arrests on the grounds.
I went onto another question for Mr. Saltzman. I asked what kind of police personnel does he remember dealing
with in the command post. He stated his recollection is very "fuzzy". He stated there were a number of HPD
officers up and throughout the night. He stated he is not very good with names. He stated he knows that some
higher ranking chiefs were in there at some point. He stated they were in and out throughout the evening. He
stated there was a officer that he does not remember his name. He stated he does not remember his rank. He
stated he might have been a sergeant. He stated he might have been a lieutenant. He stated he was a "tall and
slender gentleman". Mr. Saltzman stated the officer came up to him often for field updates as to what was going
on.
John Saltzman stated he did not have time to sit down with him. He stated whatever he had at the time, he would
shout out to him. He stated he does recall the officer appeared to have "a hard time to ascertain as to what he
was telling him." He stated when he tried to relay that there were multiple cardiac arrests, the officer did not seem
to understand. He stated he asked if they were having a heart attack and he told the officer no. He stated they
could not declare them dead in the field. He stated that has to be done by a physician or at a hospital. He stated
he cannot say that they were dead but was trying to tell the officer that there were multiple cardiac arrests. He
stated the officer did not seem to understand what that meant. He stated he told the officer "this is really serious".
He stated the officer asked him what he meant. Mr. Saltzman stated he did not have time to explain the situation
further. He stated he did not know who he was relaying the information to.
Mr. Saltzman stated since there did not seem to be a plan set in place for him to be the relayer of information to
law enforcement, he stated he was doing what he could. He stated he was swamped with his crews and trying to
do everything he could do within his job. He stated he was quite behind with the information coming in due to the
communication and field difficulties. I asked if the transaction with the officer was far into the concert. He stated it
was a very quick progression. He stated his job is to notify people of problems right away when the come up. He
stated as soon as he started getting the first and second cardiac arrest patient, he was yelling it out in the
command center. He stated he was yelling out that it was serious. He stated he was asking for security to help
him. He stated he was asking for Unified Command to use the cameras. He stated he wanted to notify the two
festival dispatcher.
He stated he told Matt Eyers right away. He stated is supposed to tell Matt Eyer right away and Matt Eyer notifies
"Tier 1" personnel which is festival producers, risk management, security heads, etc. He stated they then relay the
information out as to who else needs to know. He stated there was not a delay coming from him to the people in
the room. He stated how that information left the command center out to other people, he was not privy to that
information.

C.) Interactions with Brent Silberstein (Interview #2) (Disk J):
September 1, 2022
In the interview was Detectives J. Caten and M. Barrow. Attorney Chris Downey was there to accompany his
client, Brent Silberstein. M. Barrow began to lead off the interview. M. Barrow asked about the E.O.P. Brent
Silberstein stated the E.O.P. is a standard document put in place that is presented to them by safety management
directors at the event. He stated sometimes a third party puts them together. He stated they are the ones
directing the structure of the E.O.P. They are consulted and advise. He stated they have a big role in
implementing the actions within the E.O.P. Chris Downey said he believes the first question is what the purpose
for the E.O.P. is. Brent Silberstein said the purpose of the E.O.P. is to have an outline of best practices for that

event. He said there is something for all parties to go by universally. He stated it is an outline. He stated there is
ambiguity to it. He stated it does not get into all specifics.
Brent Silberstein went on to say it is a general outline so there is a structure that everyone can understand. He
stated it might not have every detail in it. He stated it is for people to understand procedures. He stated it is not
put together to dictate every detail but a guideline. He stated it is for everyone that is involved in the event can
reference. He stated it is like an employee manual. M. Barrow stated he understands. Mr. Silberstein stated there
are a lot of people involved.
I asked what causes an E.O.P. to be generated for an event. Mr. Silberstein stated there is supposed to be an
E.O.P. for all events. He stated any event that is a large gathering would have an E.O.P. I asked if it is always
headed by the security team. He stated it is not always drafted by security but they do influence it. He stated there
is a company called Unified Command that creates E.O.P.s. He stated there are companies that will create
E.O.P. for the events. He stated they work with the security director.
He stated the security director works with the company to help draft the E.O.P. Brent Silberstein stated he is not
100% sure if Brent Silberstein drafted the E.O.P. He stated he knows that he was a contributor to the E.O.P. Brent
Silberstein stated Seyth Boardman submitted the E.O.P. to him (himself). I clarified the E.O.P. is not a contract
but like an "employee handbook" in which Mr. Silberstein stated that was correct. M. Barrow asked if he knew
about the "power shunt authority" before the concert. He stated they were told that he was one of those named in
it. He stated they were told that they would be a part of meetings that take place or if there was an incident that
took place, they would be a part of it.
M. Barrow asked if Brent Silberstein was working for LiveNation for this event. He stated he related to Scoremore
more so than LiveNation for this event which is owned by LiveNation. M. Barrow asked if there are more
emergency documents such as the E.O.P. that is out there. Mr. Silberstein stated the E.O.P. is the only document
like this for the event.
I asked if her knew about Reece Wheeler for Unified Command. He stated he does not know him. I asked if he
knew about the communications that came from the command center trailer. I asked Mr. Silberstein if he knew
anything of it. He stated he has not heard anything about that. He stated he did not hear afterwards either of
anything of that nature. M. Barrow asked Brent if he knew about the Incident Management software system. Brent
stated that did exist. M. Barrow asked if something new is added to the system, could everyone see it at that time
or not until later. Brent Silberstein stated for Astroworld, he cannot say. He stated he did not receive anything to
give him that insight. He stated there are some events that he has been a part of where you will get a text when a
new document enters the portal. He stated there was nothing like that given for this event.
Brent went on to explain to his attorney what the Incident Management System is. He stated there is a person of
Unified Command logging it into a system to record it. He stated there is a master file. I asked is it meant for a
record keeping going back to review it or for live communications. He stated he personally, he believes it is for
historical or after the fact. He stated he believes it is also for the live notifications to get the word out to
stakeholders. He stated they are in a room to react and report. He stated they are not there to just watch a
computer and to just take information. He stated there are usually stakeholders from each of the companies in the
portable to start the ball and generate a reaction if necessary.
Brent Silberstein stated he did know that he was listed to be able to do a power shunt and that he thought it was a
weird term to use. He stated when he received the E.O.P., he was told that he was listed as a decision maker
that would be involved and brought into the discussion of any incidents to take place. M. Barrow asked why there
are two places in the E.O.P. where it says "Power Shunt" and to stop the show. Brent Silberstein stated he is not
100% why it is separated. He stated not talking about a power shunt is how the show usually works. He stated
pulling the plug would remove electricity to make an announcement. He stated there is a system in place.
Mr. Silberstein stated if there is a problem that he was called to address, he stated a member of all of the entities
would meet in front of the stage and go about how to handle the issue. He stated an active shooter would be
different from a storm. He stated the process to handle an incident is still the same. He stated it may vary in
speed, but it is the same. He stated they are not going to just go on and to shut the power. Brent Silberstein stated
to him, "Power Shunt" means to go onto stage, get the artist off, and put someone on to make an announcement.

Chris Downey stated the "Power Shunt" means to assist in an evacuation. Mr. Downey went on to say various
examples of a "Power Shunt". He stated he believes they are talking about the evacuation operations. Mr.
Downey stated it would be a group decision to do a show shutdown. He stated Brent would contact Seyth if he
was made aware of an incident.
Brent Silberstein stated the word "shunt" is for music of the concert. He stated he has just as much as anyone
else to say let's get the artist off and the volume down. He stated he is not the only one. He stated there are other
people on stage with the artist. I touched on the previous interview that we had with Brent Silberstein to
summarize what occurred and I understand his statement correctly. He stated I had recited his previous statement
correctly. He stated made sure that we understood he spoke to Seyth via radio and that was his only statement of
the night.
Chris Downey made a statement about when he spoke to A.D.A. Jim Leitner. He stated they discussed the E.O.P.
and who could shut down the show. He stated a lot of these people work the concerts together and know how to
communicate amongst themselves. He stated Leitner asked if there was a meeting where they discussed on what
to do. Brent Silberstein stated a day prior, there was a safety management briefing. Chris Downey stated Brent
Silberstein was not there for that meeting. Silberstein stated it includes all department heads. Brent Silberstein
stated anyone that has key projects when the doors open would attend that meeting. He stated they go over
multiple categories in that meeting. He stated that is a standard meeting.
I asked if there is anything new that would help with the investigation. Mr. Silberstein stated he does not think so. I
asked if he has been in contact with Emily Ockenden. He stated he has not been. M. Barrow about the
unconscious person Mr. Silberstein had mentioned in the previous statement and he verified that the person was
in the central Shute. Brent Silberstein stated that is correct. Brent Silberstein went on to say that he was unaware
of what was going on until he got to the medical tent at approximately 10:45 P.M. He stated that is when he
learned of something bad had happened. I asked what channel he was on. He stated he was on the producer
channel. He stated he was in communication with Sacha and Lucas who did not know of anything until after the
show had ended and was not at the festival.

D.) Further Investigation into the Command Post:
The text messages from Reece Wheeler has spearheaded further investigation into the Command Post at the
festival grounds. This is referenced a bit in Supplement #69 completed by me. By speaking with Attorney Joe
Bailey, I learned more information from John Saltzman about the HPD Sergeant in the Command Post. I believed
he could be talking about Sgt. J. Hudkins. I spoke with IAD Sgt. Velasco and was eventually told by Lt. S. Hope
that I would need to make the request for additional follow up from former SIU Lt. L. Menendez (now over Auto
Theft).
On or about August 16, 2022, I received a copy of the unofficial signed letter for Sgt. J. P. Hudkins. I read his
leader for clues to what occurred in the Command Post. I learned a Harris County Fire Marshal James Singleton
was in the Command Post (refer to Supplement #71 for statement). I learned of an Officer E. M. Johnson was in
the Command Post (refer to SIU letter).
I requested Lt. L. Menendez to follow up with these individuals for statements. He did so and I did not learn of any
new information pertaining to the deaths in the case.
As you will read in the next sub-section, I was provided a diagram by Attorney Peter Tipps representing ASM
Global. I used that diagram to re-build the command post. I provided it to all of the attorneys involved and Lt. L.
Menendez to provide to officers. Over time, I have received copies from attorneys and Lt. L. Menendez and have
reconstructed the command post. As of October 9, 2022, I am just missing Apex and CSC personnel that were
within the command post. The diagrams from each entity will be attached to the case file as will the completed
product. As of October 9, 2022, the most important focus of the command post is interviewing Matt Eyer.

I reached out to Attorneys Peter Tipps and Brett Young. I wanted to know the layout of the Command Post Unified
Command and their personnel was in. Attorney Peter Tipps provided photos and a diagram of what Angelia (ASM
Global Dispatcher) could remember. I have utilized the diagram they created and disseminated it to other parties
to fill in their roles / locations within the Command Post. Read below for the e-mail I received from Attorney Peter
Tipps.
"Detective Caten,
The layout Unified Command provided is a zoomed in screenshot of the site map. I've attached some
photographs that may be helpful. The first ("Nov. 4 Photo") was taken by Angela Gutierrez the day before the
festival. She took it from her seat in the trailer. The other photographs were taken either on November 6 or
November 7. As you can see, some of the tables had been removed by then.
I have also attached a diagram that shows how we understand the trailer was configured on November 5. The
diagram includes a rectangular table on the left side of the trailer that is not shown in any of the photos, but our
witnesses have consistently told us that an additional table was brought in at some point on November 5. We've
marked Angela's seat with a red X.
Hope this helps.

F.) Interactions with Reece Wheeler ((Questionnaire #2) (I Referenced in Supplement #69)):
After a few requests from Attorney Ray Neuer, I received the second set of questions from Attorney Joe Bailey.
Below is the statement copied verbatim. I believe these questions were drafted from A.D.A. J. Leitner and were
sent to Attorney J. Bailey. Refer to case file for copy and signature:
F1.) Joe Bailey Questions / Answers on Reece Wheeler's Behalf
Houston Police Department Incident 1490724 & 150509321
Presented by Detective J. Caten of the Houston Police Department's Homicide Division
1.What is the phone number that you had when you texted Shawna Boardman the text message?
Answer: The phone number I had when I texted Shawna Boardman was
1.The text message is documented at 09:00 PM. What time did you notify Matt Eyer and Paradocs of issues?
Answer: I do not know the exact time. I first notified Matt Eyer of my concerns after the first person came over the
barricades unconscious before Travis Scott went onstage. This was during the transition of the crowd from Stage
2 to Stage
1. I do not recall having any direct communications with Paradocs. Paradocs was also in the command post and
saw what I saw on the screens.
Everyone in the command post could see what I saw on the screens.
1.What was the context of the notifications relayed to Matt Eyer and Paradocs? Was it as severe or more severe
than the opinion made to Shawna Boardman?
Answer: I was primarily asking Matt Eyer if Seyth and Shawna Boardman were aware of the flow of people
into the Stage right front quadrant of the crowd. I communicated the same concerns to Matt Eyer that I
communicated to Shawna Boardman.
1.Did you notice anyone telling HPD personnel to stop the show or relaying emergency information to HPD
personnel?
Answer: Between 9:00 pm and when the decision was made to stop the show, I do not recall seeing or

hearing anyone specifically telling HPD personnel to stop the show or relaying emergency information to
HPD personnel. HPD was behind me in the command post. Once I was told by Matt Eyer that the plan was
to stop the show, I recall repeating what Matt told me to others in the room, but I do not recall to whom I
would have repeated this. Michael Reece Wheeler
G.) A.C. T. E. Hardin (formerly Commander T. E. Hardin) Statement Clarification:
One of the things I wanted to clarify was a statement from when M. Barrow and I were presenting our findings to
Astroworld to the command staff. Command T.E. Hardin pointed himself out running behind stage at 2157 hours. I
asked Lt. L. Menendez to follow up with T.E. Hardin that he did not see Satterwhite while was back there to relay
the information about Seyth attempting to shutdown the show at 2200 hours. He provided a new letter to SIU
stating he did not. He stated he was coming from the medical tent to get to the Polaris to drive to the
Command Post. This cleared up that question for the investigation.
H.) Interactions with DPS:
On September 8, 2022, I Spoke with DPS Agent K. Crain and A.C. T.E. Hardin. DPS Agent K. Crain stated he is
looking for statements or evidence that the security companies were acting more in a security capacity rather than
ushers (which the security companies are claiming). A.C. T.E. Hardin asked me to refer to Lt. Meeler and/or Lt.
Tolls of Homicide.
I asked Agent. K. Crain if I could supply video to suffice for their investigation. He stated it would work. M. Barrow
stated he would get the video downloaded and prepared for them. I have requested a USB to put on the video for
Unified Command overlooking the stage.
I.) Interactions with Matt Eyer:
On or about September 3, 2022, I spoke with Charles Flood. I told him about text messages coming from the
command post and asked if Matt Eyer knew the context of those text messages. I also mentioned the diagram for
the command post which is what the drawing is in which Attorney Charles Flood is referring to:
"Ok, here are my notes on your diagram based on my discussion with Matt Eyer. This off the top of his head
based on your drawing and recalling events many months ago (and some of it may be lost in translation as I was
drawing it while we were on the phone). At the outset he thinks you may be missing a couple tables. At the front
near the TV's he recalls a table running lengthwise. He also says there was maybe another table or two at the
"back" (furthest from the TV's). He was sitting where the X is and Reece was at the table across from him. I
have noted who he recalls was sitting at the other tables and how many of them there were. He was there for a
majority of the time generally leaving to go get food and drink or going to the restroom.
He didn't know anything about the Reece text message.
We talked generally about the 9:03 log entry and the use of the word "crushed" - he said that term is used at
virtually every concert/festival where the crowd moves closer to the stage. It doesn't necessarily connote that
people were being hurt - it is a common phrase to use"
I later verified if Matt Eyer was told by Reece of any context for people dying etc. and he stated no. On October 5,
2022, I requested a meeting with Matt Eyer and asked Attorney Charles Flood if he would be willing to do an
interview. He stated he would get back to me about it. I asked about text messages that I had learned about
between Matt Eyer and Shawna Boardman (refer to the bottom of this Supplement under Search Warrants for
further context.
On October 6, 2022, I received the following message from Attorney Charles Flood:
"Good morning,
I confirmed the following texts between Matt Eyer and Seanna Boardman which are during the time period in
question. His phone doesn't reflect the same number of communications between them. Looking at your info I'm
wondering if some of those are doubled-up or something. For some contexts Eyer is asking Boardman for the
number of people who have scanned into the concert so he can log it. Also, his phone is an hour off:

21:54/Eyer: Do we have an updated scan count?
22:01/S. Boardman: 37 but no way that's accurate
22:06/Eyer: Ok.
Lastly, I saw your e-mail last night, I'll talk to Matt about it."
The last part where Mr. Flood states he will talk to Matt about it is in reference to me requesting an interview. As of
October 9, 2022, we are waiting to hear back from Attorney Charles Flood.
J.) Interactions with Knute Brye:
On September 9, 2022, I contacted B3Risk and got connected with Knute Brye. I had always been under the
assumption Seyth Boardman had a part of B3Risk. I learned from Knute Brye that B3Risk is his company and not
Seyth Boardman's. He stated he has known Seyth and Shawna for years. He stated he hired Seyth Boardman
when he was really young to work for him. He stated he also worked with Seyth at CSC. He stated for Astroworld,
B3Risk's job was to fulfill payroll. He stated he believed Seyth was employed by Insomniac. I told him that I did not
expect all the information I was getting from him and asked if we could set up a more formal interview. He stated
that was no issue. He stated he was going to let his attorneys know and also tell Seyth and Shawna. We set up an
interview for September 12, 2022. M. Barrow recorded the interview. Refer to his Supplement for the interview
between Knute Brye, M. Barrow, and myself.
K.) Interactions with Apple Inc.
On September 26, 2022, I received an e-mail from Apple stating we have a Reference ID:
"202200059154"
On September 27, 2022, I received an e-mail from Apple stating we have a Reference ID's:
"202200060089"
On September 30, 2022, I received a copy of the Apple Returns for 202200060089 which is labeled GJS 2 on the
disk. M. Barrow reviewed the contents of this disk. He saw the phone numbers for Reece Wheeler and Shawna
Boardman that I had filed were not listed on the GJS returns. There was an iCloud account for both Shawna and
Reece. However, there was no evidence that the account is linked to the phone number we filed for via CDR
search warrant. The evidence will be attached to the case file.
There is also account information for Emily Ockenden and Seyth Boardman as well.
L.) Joe Bailey Questions / Answers on Reece Wheeler's Behalf:
"The following list of (additional) questions was put to Reece Wheeler of Unified Command. He will be available
for personal/ZOOM interviews (to answer these or other questions).
1. What was telephone number to which you sent your 9:00 pm central text to Shawna Boardman?
The telephone number to which I sent the 9:00 pm central text to Shawna Boardman's was: ( )
2. Did you send any additional texts to Shawna Boardman regarding Astroworld Festival 2021 other than the text
at 9:00 pm central?
No. I am fairly certain I did not send Shawna Boardman any additional texts about Astroworld Festival 2021 other
than the text sent at 9:00 pm central. I had spoken with her via text concerning prior events but not during the
week in question.
3. Do you still have the phone that you used to text Shawna Boardman during the evening of November 5, 2021?
No, I do not have that phone. The phone I had in November, 2021 at the Astroworld Festival was with Straight
Talk (IMEI:354889098073644). The battery was inoperable and I traded it in for a newer device with T-Mobile on
June 3, 2022.

4. What happed to the phone that you used to text Shawana Boardman during the evening of November 5, 2021?
I turned it into the T-Mobile store located at 1430 Volunteer Pkwy Set 30 in Bristol, TN. The memory was wiped
before it was turned in.
5. Do you have access to the texts that were on the phone you used during the evening of November 5, 2021?
No. My texts on the phone were not backed up to the cloud. I have contacted Straight Talk to try and obtain a
printout of the information regarding phone usage for November 2021. Because the phone isn't active and not in
my possession, they can not provide me with the records. They do not have the content of the messages but do
have phone and text logs. Their legal department mentioned it would take a minimum of 30 days to provide that
data once it has been court ordered.
6. When did you arrive on site at the Astroworld Festival 2021? I arrived at the Astroworld Festival 2021 on Nov
4, 2021, 1:54 PM. My responsibilities as "Manager" were to get the Command Center set up with tables, radios,
electrical equipment, Internet, etc. I spent the 4th doing that and festival dispatching the last day of set up.
7. Did you send any texts to anyone else about Astroworld Festival 2021? The texts I would have sent or
received regarding the Astroworld Festival would have appeared on a different platform-not as a personal text
message. If I sent a text to people at Unified Command, I would have used the What's Up app set up by Unified
Command.
7. Did you have a business phone as well as your personal phone? No. I only have one phone.
9. Who was on the Unified Command What's App and/or distribution list for Astroworld Festival? I can not recall. I
didn't set up the What's App group, nor do I know who did. It was used to send me repair requests and areas that
needed attention. My responsibility was to dispatch site operations and other non emergency teams.
10.Why did you use your personal phone to text Shawna Boardman on November 5, 2021? Shawna Boardman
was not part of the Unified Command team and was not part of the What's app. I knew Shawna Boardman from
other festivals and had her number. Therefore, I used my personal phone to text Shawna Boardman on the
evening of November 2, 2021. She was already communicating with Matt Eyer over the radio. A text felt like the
only way I could communicate with her without impeding her efforts to fix the issue.
11.Where on the diagram of the Event Control Center, which is attached, were you located? I wrote my name in
the area on the enclosed diagram where I was located.
12.Who has access to the Incident Management System? Several persons had electronic access to the Incident
Management system. I am not exactly sure. Besides myself and Matt Eyer, I cannot provide a complete list of
everyone who had access. That question needs to be answered by others at Unified Command as I am not a full
time employee with the company"

weather set to begin later this afternoon, we will get as many cameras up today and then build the CP to end the
day. No problems and getting plenty of support from the Astroworld production and festival staff, as well as
NRG/Convention Center folks. Gonna meet with NRG security guy this morning, as he will have his camera feeds
in the CP - but our major concern is covering perimeter fence line that is full of low and thick trees all along the
fence (site concerned about tons of fence jumpers or simply pushing fence line over). Also have meeting this

takes place. We have made a full copy for Live Nation attorney who will meet me tomorrow morning to get a copy
of everything that was presented to the police. Latest word from Live Nation attorney is that we are to continue
recording overnight - even though we still only have power to a handful of sites - but the main stage is still active.
The site is locked down due to several different litigations. We are weary of leaving that server overnight
unattended / even though we can lock the doors to the trailer - thinking it's not a good idea so Matt is coming in
this evening to babysit the server and maintain custody. If you think that is unnecessary- let us know UC_200004 -
but otherwise we are going to proceed with Matt in overnight and then have another meeting with the lawyers
tomorrow morning to reevaluate. Chris/Davis - gonna need some guidance on tear down with flights tomorrow and
Jeff and I having to leave for Rockville for that show next week. I need you guys to think about how we are gonna
move forward on this. Tear down of this tomorrow looks unlikely at this moment - however things could change in
the morning. Thanks again for all you help on the backend. If you have any questions - please let me know.
11/6/21, 7:26 PM - 260397: Thanks for the update Frank. We will looks at the flight situation for sure. Probably
hold you guys at least 1 more day to see how things go in the morning.
11/6/21, 7:30 PM - Frank Frederick: Thanks for the quick response Chris - I will provide update in the morning
after meeting with the lawyer
11/6/21, 8:34 PM - 260397: My first impression is that it may be a while for use to be able to pull down the gear
but we should know more
tomorrow. I'd say for now let's just make sure all the cases and such are organized and put into a safe place if we

L.) Emily Ockenden Updates:
In two instances we have heard more of Emily Ockenden. We heard about her in the meeting with Shawna and
Seyth Boardman attorney meeting. Andrew Lourie and Sydney Johnson mentioned Emily Ockenden told Shawna
Boardman to shut down the show after seeing people receiving CPR.
Emily Ockenden was brought up in the Reece Wheeler interview where he stated he used the Site Ops radio and

asking if they could see what he was seeing on the monitor. He stated Emily Ockenden responded with "yes,
honey" which he took as condescending.
I told A.D.A. M. Wilhelm of the importance to GJS Emily Ockenden to get a statement. She stated she will bring it
up in the next meeting with D.A. K. Ogg.
M.) Interactions with Apex + CSC:
On September 30, 2022, I reached out to ASM Global attorney Brett Young. I learned Apex and CSC have the
same attorney, David Brothers. On October 1, 2022, I reached out to David Brothers stating I would like to find out
who the employees were that were within the command post. I provided them with a copy of a drafted command
post to fill in the employee spots. As of October 8, 2022, I am still waiting for follow up from Mr. Brothers. He let
me know he has received my message.
N.) Interactions with Rick Brown:
On September 29, 2022, I asked Attorney Chris Downey if there has been any movement with Chris Brown. As of
October 8, 2022, I have not received a response.
3.) Search Warrants:
On September 9, 2022, I met with A.D.A. M. Gilliam and drafted the CDR Warrants for Reece Wheeler and
Shawna Boardman. I wanted to verify that both parties did not speak with multiple people at 2100 hours and if
they did, who did they speak with. On September 16, 2022, I presented Shawna Boardman's CDR Warrant
(( ) T-Mobile) before Harris County District Judge A. Anastasio of the 184th along with Reece
Wheeler's CDR Warrant (( ) Verizon). Judge A. Anastasio signed both warrants and I submitted the
warrants to CID HPD Officer to serve. Judge A. Anastasio was the on-call judge for the week. I
received Reece Wheeler's number and Shawna's number from his attorney. The numbers at the top of the
warrant in the "Header" were added for HPD CID tracking purposes only. As of October 9, 2022, we have
received both CDR returns. Refer to M. Barrow's supplement for further synopsis. The returns and warrants will be
kept with the case file. The original signed search warrants have been returned to the Harris County District
Clerk's Office.
4.) Continued Follow Up...
As of October 8, 2022, we are focused on what occurred in the main command post that consisted of multiple
entities. We are trying to rebuild the command posts throughout the festival. We are attempting to interview Matt
Eyer with his Attorney Charles Flood. We need to interview the additional Unified Command employees along with
the Paradocs employees. We are trying to figure out who the APEX and CSC employees were through their
attorney. We are attempting to gather documentation if any from the App 24/7 Management Reece Wheeler had
mentioned. There are other things we are investigating but this is the primary focus.
A.C. K. Deese (former Commander K. Deese recently promoted which is why we report to newly appointed
Homicide Command S. Spears), has requested us to rebuild the other command posts and fill out the rosters for
the report. I also will add the Lt. L. Menendez follow up into the main command post in future Supplements. As our
investigation continues, we seem to continously find new avenues that warrant further investigation. As it stands,
there is now no end date for the Astroworld investigation. With the holidays coming up, it might prove more difficult
to continue follow up for at least certain aspects of the investigation.

Narrative
Detective Caten reached out to Knute Brye and requested an interview with him. Knute agreed to participate in a
phone interview. On 09/12/2022, we held a phone interview with Knute. The interview was recorded. The following
is a summary of our interview with Knute Brye:
Knute stated that he is the owner of B3 Risk Solutions which also falls under his company, Brye Inc. He stated
that he started the company in 2010. He explained his history in the event security industry which included him
working as security director for numerous events, doing event security consultation, and serving as a payroll
service for event security. He stated that he has been doing this type of work since 1993. He stated that B3 Risk
Solutions primarily operates as a Payroll/Bankroll service for security contractors.
While working in the industry, he met Seyth Boardman when Seyth was 17. He stated Seyth eventually went on to
work for other companies and working festival security. They got back together in Spring 2019 when they were
looking for someone to do the invoicing and payroll services for the middleman consulting group to act as a liason
between the operations/management and Insomniac (a company owned by Live Nation).
For Astroworld, he did the contract for management consulting and payroll services for the personnel that Seyth
brought on for the event. He stated that he did not serve in any operational role with either Insomniac or
Astroworld.
He stated that the bulk of the contract work he has done that involves Live Nation has almost always been
through Insomniac which he described as another Festival promotion company that is a lot like Scoremore.
However, for Astroworld, the contract was an agreement to provide payroll services for Seyth and his personnel
who was acting on behalf of Live Nation/Scoremore. He stated this would be the reason why B3 Risk was listed
as the company name for Astroworld and not Insomniac or some other company. He stated that Seyth worked for
Insomniac, but he was not sure if he was a direct employee or a contracted employee operating from outside the
company.
We asked the question as to why the Insomniac or Scoremore could not just do the payroll contract themselves,
and why did they need him and B3 Risk Solutions. He stated it was because the people that were brought on to
work this event were not Insomniac employees, but rather they were all independent contractors.
He stated that he did not participate in the hiring process for this event, that would have been accomplished by
Seyth. He stated he did not know who was brought on until he received the spreadsheet at the conclusion of the
event listing the employees that required payment.
We brought up the issue of security guards working for AJ Malino and Valle Security that did not get paid. He
stated that his contract did not entail payment for security, it only covered those in operational management. B3
Risk did not do the invoice contract for security guards. It is his understanding that Seyth made the
recommendations for which third-party security guard companies should be hired for the event. And those
companies would have been bankrolled by someone else.
For the contract that he did for Astroworld, he stated that it covered the invoice and bankroll service for
approximately eleven people. In addition to those eleven, there were individuals from IPS security that were
brought on as part of the contract. He stated the IPS security people were paid with a lump sum. His knowledge of
IPS Security included them being another third-party security guard service for events. However, for Astroworld,
he believed that the IPS Security personnel served more at the mid-manger and consultant level as opposed to
guard services. He stated that their company address is in California.
For the Invoice and Bankroll services he performed, he stated that Scoremore paid in advance. Then, at the
conclusion of the event and sent them the remaining balance to be paid. Lastly, he distributed payments to the
contractors involved in the contract.
Talking about Seyth, he stated that he is very good at what he does in the security industry. He stated that he is a
good decision maker, and he has a lot of experience.

Narrative
*****************************
On October 5th, 2022, we held a Zoom interview with Reece Wheeler, employee of Unified Command who was
posted in the Festival Command Center (not to be confused with the HPD or HFD command centers) trailer during
the Astroworld Festival. Previously, we have sent correspondence to Reece via questionnaires through his
attorney Joe Bailey. We have concluded that a more detailed interview needed to occur to clarify several
instances that have been brought up during this investigation. Present for this interview were: Reece Wheeler, Joe
Bailey, Ray Nuer, Amanda Catalani, Michelle Wilhelm, Jim Leitner, and ourselves. The interview was recorded
and a copy of it will be kept with the case file. The following is a summary of our interview with Reece Wheeler:
Background
Reece stated that he was still employed by Unified Command and his title was Festival Liaison and
Coordinator/Dispatcher. He stated that he has participated in the festival security industry since 2013 and he has
done work in command centers since 2019 (which is also when he started his employment with Unified
Command).
Reece clarified that his early career in security was primarily field work. He stated that it entailed supervising
gates, stages, barricades, and VIP areas. The command center work he does now entails working exclusively
inside the command center using radios and an Incident Management System (IMS).
Prior to Unified Command, he stated he has worked with Axis Security, B3 Risk Solutions, AEG Security, along
with a lot of contract security jobs which including working events for the NFL.
Training
To his knowledge, Reece stated there are no standard certifications a person would need to have in order to work
event security. However, to even be considered for his position, he stated that you would have to be able to
demonstrate an understanding of festival infrastructure. He stated that there are certain states such as Tennessee
and Florida that require licenses to participate in field security work.
For Unified Command, he stated that he was hired to his current position based upon his experience with festival
dispatching. He recounted that during his tenure with Axis Security in late 2017, he had begun to work as a
dispatcher at events. On one such occasion, a manager with Unified Command noticed his knowledge and
expertise and offered him a position with Unified Command to do the same job. He stated that once with Unified
Command, he received additional training.
Before Astroworld, he stated that he had worked a few events in the capacity of the Festival Liaison and
Dispatcher, but he could not recall the exact number. One event that he recalled specifically was the Rolling Loud
Festival in New York which occurred just before Astroworld. He stated that he was working in the Command Post
at that event and Travis Scott was one of the performers (his first time working an event involving Travis Scott).
He stated that there were a lot of issues during that event. He stated that Rolling Loud was kind of his "eye
opening" moment to the hip-hop genre of concerts and festivals, although he had worked some of those types of
events in the past but at a different capacity.
Experience
We asked Reece to detail the kind of things that he would be looking for in a crowd such as Astroworld. He stated
based on his observations of previous shows, concertgoers will sometimes get faint along the rail. He stated that
the concertgoers will stay out there all day around the stage area in order to reserve their spot. They do not like to
leave to get water or take breaks in fear of losing their spot. He stated that it is normal to deal with some
dehydration or people passing out against the rail which requires them to be pulled over to receive medical
attention. Whereas these are common occurrences to him based on his knowledge and experience, Astroworld
was different.
He stated the primary difference with Astroworld was the volume of people. The crowd density was more than
what he would typically see or be comfortable with. He stated that when the Camera Technicians focused on the
front of the stage before the performance, everyone in the command center was concerned about it. He stated
that in his experience, it was unprecedented to see that many people packed together like that. He stated the
closest comparison he had seen of that type of density was at hard rock or metal concerts. He stated that those
type of shows would move more has a collective conscious and they would move, shift, and create space. In
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:28 Page 3 of 9

Narrative
those concerts, he would see members of the crowd go down and other members would pick them up or create
enough space for them to get out. For Astroworld, he stated that the density of the crowd did not allow for this type
of activity to take place.
Incident Management System

He stated that the IMS system he used for Astroworld was a software program run by 24/7 (software company).
He stated that it functioned like how a police dispatch program would operate. He stated that anyone who had a
login created for the IMS program could view it and see updates live. He stated that everyone who was working
inside the command center for Astroworld was provided or offered the login for IMS. As for people outside the
command center, he did not know who had access.
He stated that the system could be utilized for record-keeping and live updates. The system enabled users the
possibility of receiving notifications on their mobile device any time something was added to the record. He stated
that he did not know if anyone exercised this option at Astroworld.
He stated that there was no training on how to use the system. However, everyone who was working in the
command post was already familiar with it and for those who were not, he met with individually to bring them up to
speed.
To explain the gap in time on the IMS log, Reece stated there was not a lot of infrastructure activity going on at
that time, so he had nothing to include on the log. As for Matt, he stated he was handling security matters, but he
could not speak to manner in which Matt was using the log and frankly there was not a lot of security related
issues going on. He stated most of the issues were medical and that would be reflected on Paradocs' log.
As for the WhatsApp group chat set up by Unified Command, I pointed out that there was not any activity for an
extended period of time. He stated that he could not speak to that because he did not participate in that group
chat. The camera technicians would have been more involved with that.
Relationship to Seyth and Shawna Boardman
He stated that he has known Seyth since 2015 and he has worked with him at several events. He has worked for
the Boardman's for a least two events prior to Astroworld. He stated that he did not know the Boardmans well,
other than that they paid on time whenever he concluded an event with them. He did not consider them to be
friends or acquaintances.
He stated that he has not had any contact with the Boardman's since this incident nor at any time did they enter
the command center while he was working the event. He has spoken with Matt Eyer since this incident.
Security Meetings
He confirmed that there were security meetings, but he was not invited to attend them as he was normally
accustomed to doing for previous events. He stated that he "stumbled" into one of the meetings by accident.
Also, he would not label them as security meetings. It was more like a meeting between all the department heads.
He stated he saw Seyth and Shawna there and the meeting was being led by a woman with an Australian accent
(Emily).
Defining his Role
He stated that his role as the Festival Dispatcher made him responsible to infrastructure. For example, if a fence
goes down or a restroom is shut down, he would be the one to receive the notification and then contact the
appropriate personnel to handle the matter.
He stated that Seyth or Shawna did not approach him to go over emergency protocol or anything like that. He
stated that he would not have been a part of that conversation given that it would not have been his role, rather it
would have been for security and medical.
Camera and Display
Reece confirmed that there was a display screen inside the command center which displayed multiple camera
views at once. He clarified that he was not the one manipulating the camera views. He stated that camera
technicians with Unified Command manipulated the cameras and were responsible for moving, zooming in, and
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:28 Page 4 of 9
Suppl No
1490724-21 0077
Narrative
changing the screens for any view they wanted to focus on. He stated they were in the center with him (he
believed they were behind him to the left, but not sure), and they were listening over the radio for any indications
as to where they needed to focus the camera. He stated the technicians were Matt Snelgrove and Adrian Castro.
He stated that the cameras were operating in a link that other people could download and view on their devices.
He stated that this link could be shared and used with anyone, and it was typically shared with the Festival
Director and the Security Director for them to use as they see fit. He was not sure if this was utilized.
In terms of where the physical cameras would be placed during the set up for the show, he stated those decisions
were likely made between Fredericks (an employee with Unified Command) and the Festival Director.
Radio Channel
He stated his role was responsible for communicating on the "Site Ops" radio channel. He stated he was not sure
who was all listening on that channel. He knew that it would have included the Festival Director and Emily
Ockenden. He stated that he only knew it was her because he would hear someone get on the radio with an
Australian accent. He stated that he was not sure if the radio communications were recorded.
Summary of the Day prior to Travis Scott Performance
Reece stated he was at the venue early in the day. He ensured that everyone had everything that they needed in
terms of login and supplies. He stated he communicated with Production and Site Operations at times, preparing
them for gates and opening.
Reece stated that they had some issues early on. He stated there were fence-crashers and jumpers prior to the
venue even being open. Again, he stated that this sort of behavior was not unheard of, and he had seen it before,
but not to this level or volume. He was also accustomed to seeing that type of behavior take place after the venue
had opened, not before, which he stated caught him off-guard for a moment.
He recalled that there was a "hard rush" at the merchandise tent. He stated that they were selling an exclusive
Travis Scott Nike and that led to a rush to the tent. He stated that situation was handled by security (Matt Eyer)
but he watched it all unfold on camera. He fulfilled his job by making a request with Site Operations to replace
some of the bike racks.
He stated that the general conversations that were going on in the command center provided the consensus that
the event was not going very well so far.
People in the Command Center
Reece estimated that there were eight to ten people inside the command center. He stated Matt Eyer was sitting
next to him. In addition, there were two camera technicians, two paradocs dispatchers, possibly two security
dispatchers, and then two police or fire personnel.
The Build Up for the Travis Scott Concert
He stated that there were a lot of conversations going on inside the command center. He spent a lot of time
conversing with Matt Eyer who he also described as a friend. He stated that he worked the Rolling Loud event
with Matt and neither of them were looking forward to working Astroworld.
He stated that he and Matt discussed their concern over the venue set up and barrier locations. The location and
exclusivity of the merchandise area, the location of the two stages where also matters that that they discussed. In
terms of activity, he stated that his radio was busier during the day until the evening when it switched, then Matt's
radio became the more busy one. Both he and Matt wore an earpiece which made it difficult for him to hear
everything that Matt was saying into his radio.
The Text Message
He stated at the point before he sent the text message (2100 hours) he was "pestering" Matt by asking him if he
had told Seyth or Shawna anything about what they were seeing on camera in terms of the crowd density.
Next, he stated that they saw people getting crowd-surfed out of the crowd, unconscious. He stated that he had
seen people pulled out unconscious before in other events, but under these circumstances he found this to be
uncommon. He explained that he saw one unconscious person come over and this heightened his awareness.
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:28 Page 5 of 9

1490724-21 0077
Narrative
Then, when he saw a second and a third person, he determined that there was a problem.
He stated that he got on the radio and communicated with Site Operations, and they acknowledged that they
could see what he was seeing about the crowd. It was reported that the barriers and fencing were expanding
which necessitated a response to secure the barrier fencing.
Reece explained that he sent the text so as to not disrupt or "tie-up" the radio so that other users could do their
job. As Festival Dispatch, he was assigned to the Site Operations channel, and he would have had to switch to
the Security Channel and interrupt that channel in order to make the notification. The Security channel was being
operated by Matt Eyer, therefore Reece stated that operated within his scope and used the text message to avoid
further disruptions.
Another purpose of the text was to settle his own conscious that he did something about the situation. We asked
for further context of the text when he said that people might die. He stated that he conveyed this sentiment to
Matt as well. He stated they discussed their concerns prior to him sending the text message in which they both
talked about the possibility of people getting hurt or dying at the concert. He stated that he saw the fear and panic
in Matt's eyes and that it was likely that Matt saw the same look in his. This further prompted him to send the text
message to Shawna.
Reece confirmed to us that he was operating outside his scope and authority when he discussed these matters
with Matt and especially when he sent that message out.
We asked Reece from the perspective of hindsight, why he did not do more. For example, why not get on the
radio to voice the things he was seeing that prompted the text message or in general take more drastic measures.
He stated that there is a fine line between professionalism and recklessness, and at that point, he felt like he did
all that he could do to get the message across while still maintaining that professionalism and within his scope of
duties.
Defining Unconscious
We asked Reece his definition of unconscious and to describe exactly what he was seeing that led him to believe
that people were unconscious. Reece stated that the footage makes it obvious. He stated that some had their
eyes closed or open but with vacant expressions. They had loss of motor control or essentially looked like "rag
dolls". Normal people who crowd surf actively maintain balance on top of the crowd whereas these individuals
were not in control.
Key Events During the Concert
I asked him about what information he was telling Matt and what could he hear Matt saying on his radio. He stated
that he checked with Matt to see if the Security Director understood the situation. He also asked what was being
done about it and if they were going to stop the show.
He stated that Matt would "nod" at times when he asked him things, but Reece stated he would always ask again
in order to get verbal confirmation. He stated that Matt told him they (Seyth and Shawna) understood the situation
and were working on getting the show stopped.
In terms of times, Reece stated that he sent the text at 9 PM. And then for the next thirty minutes, he was driving
Matt nuts asking him if the show was going to be paused or stopped and what was going on. Then, for the last
half-hour of the show, he stated that he sat back and watched, believing that he had done all that he could do.
This part was very difficult for him because he could only watch and listen as the chaos continued.
He stated that during this time frame, he got on his own radio channel and asked, "are you in position to see
this?", he avoided using sensitive terminology as he was trained to do in these situations because it was possible
other people could hear the transmission. He stated that he received a reply from Emily in which she indicated
that she was there and could see it. He recalled seeing them in the area on camera, working on a section of the
barrier/fencing, but he could not say if he saw Emily specifically. He stated that he did not see Shawna respond to
the area on camera, but he also stated there was a lot going on during that time.
He described seeing a female who had climbed halfway up one of the media towers. He also recalled seeing the
female that climbed one of the camera platforms. He saw CPR taking place in multiple locations.
Reece described feeling "dumbfounded" that the show was still going on. It was not until much later in the show

Narrative
that Matt informed him that they were going to stop/pause the show at 10 PM. Once it was 10 PM and the show
continued, he was confused. He stated that he got on the radio and communicated with the Stage Manager (did
not remember his name) and asked him if he had heard if the show was going to end and that it was supposed to
end at 10 PM. He paraphrased to us the response from the Stage Manager telling him that he had not heard
about the show ending at 10 PM but he expressed that he would like it to end.
We asked about the people coming over the perimeter fence during the concert. He stated that he did not recall
any specific instances because that sort of thing was occurring throughout the concert. He stated there was a rush
of people jumping into the VIP area (earlier, prior to the stage performance) of the concert which caused damage
to the fence/barrier there, the VIP ID scanner, and security personnel were "taken out". He stated that he radioed
that occurrence in for repairs.
We asked him what was going on at the other tables in the command center during the concert. He stated there
was a lot of chatter coming from the paradocs table as they were handling calls. He overheard they were doing
CPR on multiple people simultaneously. He recalled the specific occasion when medical personnel were
performing CPR on the back of a golf cart when that cart was then absorbed into the crowd, unable to transport
the person.
He also overheard chatter from the security side regarding people climbing things at the venue and them trying to
coordinate an effort to get them down. He stated that it seemed impossible to get anywhere in the crowd due to
the crowd density. He agreed that the command center became useless at a certain point because they could
only relay information, meanwhile those in the field could only respond to the situations as they were made aware,
which was a challenge.
He stated that there were police personnel in the command center, but he did not know what if any conversations
they were involved in during the concert.
He stated that the term "MCI" was not used in the command center. However, he overheard paradocs make a
request for outside resources and to alert local hospitals which led him to infer that an MCI had been declared.
Once he had learned this, he got on the radio and notified Site Operations that there would be more ambulances
coming in, and that they needed to make ingress for them by moving fencing.
We asked him if he could see the "crowd pockets" forming in quadrant three on camera. He stated that he was
aware of the location where people were being crowd-surfed from, but he did not register when they originally
went down. He stated that he would typically be looking for face expressions, people turned the wrong way, and
other behavior atypical of a concert. With the density of the crowd at Astroworld, he stated this was not possible.
He described the looks on people's faces that he could see as that of panic, and this appeared to be widespread.
In his view, this was not several isolated incidents but instead one singular large incident.
Stopping the Show
He stated as he did before, that he and Matt had conversations very early on about the need to stop the show. He
stated that he did not recall what Matt was saying into the radio or when he had those conversations with his
team, but he believed that conversations about stopping the show were occurring between Matt over the security
radio.
We asked him about what his understanding was about who could stop the show. He stated that he understood
that the Festival Director, the Promotors, and the Producers could stop the show. He stated that the
circumstances differ at each concert and sometimes the Security Director would have the responsibility as well.
He termed it as a "tier one" decision which described when all these responsible parties come together and decide
as a group that the show needs to end.
We asked him who for Astroworld would be responsible for initiating that conversation and response to end the
show. He stated that it would have been the Security & Safety Director. He stated that it could also fall to the
Festival Director to make that call. It came down to whoever stumbled onto the problem first.
We asked what he felt about Seyth and Shawna's response to this incident. He stated that he did not know since
he was not with them in the field. He spoke about his knowledge of their work ethic, and he has had multiple

Narrative
experiences where Seyth demonstrated resolve in handling difficult situations.
As a hypothetical, we asked him what he would have done. He stated that from his position in the command
center there was nothing more he could do. From his former position as security, he could only continue to
respond to situations as they arose. Ultimately, he could not speak to a hypothetical in this situation.
icloud Information
He stated that he still was using the same iCloud account information he had during the concert. However, he
stated that he did not have his imessages backed up because it was taking up too much of his device's memory.
Emily Ockenden
His only contact with Emily was over the radio, and that was limited to topics of infrastructure. He stated that
outside of that, he has not met or spoken with Emily before or after Astroworld. He recalled the time when he got
on the radio to tell Site Operations (i.e. Emily) that the crowd was crashing into the side of the barriers. He
recalled her reply as, "yes, honey, I see it". That response from her stuck out in his memory because he found it to
be rude. He believed this exchange occurred prior to Travis Scott taking the stage.
Barricade Repairs
For clarification, it had been referenced that there was a need for repairs on a barricade. He stated that to his
knowledge, those repairs were not for the barricade near the stage, but rather at the chain link fence barricade
located stage left near where the division between the VIP area was located.
Perspective
It was asked of Reece his opinion regarding the on-the-ground perspective during this event as opposed to the
perspective he held from above with the benefit of cameras. We posed the question: if he was on the ground and
was seeing the people being pulled out, would he be able to make a "call" or judgement call even without the
overhead view. Reece responded, "yes, undeniably he would".
Abnormal Set Up
Reece stated that it was kind of unheard of to have just two stages, in which one would be completely shut down
to focus on the other. He stated that normally when a venue had two stages it was for a purpose to distribute the
crowd more evenly. He stated for Astroworld, they had music going on at one stage all day up until Travis Scott's
performance. There were already people waiting at Travis' stage so that when the other shows ended at the other
stage that led to a mass of people coming over to an area that was already occupied.
Reece stated that although he is not an expert on crowd movement, he felt like the placement of several
barricades were not normal. He stated that he could identify "pinch points" which did not allow for the crowd to
flow as well as it could have, especially in certain areas. He stated that this fact, combined with the genre, and the
fact that the venue was probably over capacity, that the barrier placement and setup became an issue.
Crowd Density
Reece discussed how he mentioned that the crowd density for this festival was unprecedented by his experience.
He stated that he has studied on his own time the effects of crowd density and how to calculate crowd numbers
based on their overall density. Other than Matt, he did not have conversations with others about how dangerous
the crowd appeared due to its density.
To put it in other words, Reece stated that if you were a person with no experience within this field, you would
have been able to notice the panic in the crowd's eyes and the dangerousness of the situation.
What has Changed
Reece stated that since Astroworld, additional language has been added to Emergency Operation Plans (EOP)
directly referencing crowd crushes. There are now more show pause regulations and procedures. He stated that
the industry has been making quite a bit of changes.
As for Astroworld, he did not know why the show was not paused or stopped sooner, or at least he was not
provided a reason. He stated (hypothetically) had it been him in the decision-making position, he would have had
the worry in the back of his mind that if he acted too quickly or prematurely, he could get "blacklisted" by the
industry.

2.) Astroworld Investigation Path Summary:
As of October 26, 2022, we are currently 9 days away from the 1-year mark for Astroworld. I believed it to be
appropriate to layout a summary of the investigation:
Incident Occurs November 5, 2021
Murder Squad 1 Assigned November 6, 2021
First priority was to locate and identify victims. We needed to track down fentanyl lead, grand jury subpoena
entities, reach out to stakeholders and parties involved.
Fentanyl lead was followed through and unproven. Autopsies were conducted and results concluded. Multiple
interviews from all different entities. Scope was to find out who knew what and when. Vision of case changed daily
and still does to this day (is this criminal, civil, both?).
We had to go through multiple attorneys to get documents and statements which caused delays. Majority of
clients are concerned they are the target and/or afraid of lawsuits. This was understood by us but caused delays
nonetheless in the investigation.
We worked with the F.B.I. and learned of the recording behind the stage. We followed through that lead to the
very end with only having one person refusing to provide a statement / busy. We tracked down the Ambulnz lead
with the patron dancing on the ambulance.
We still have not spoken with Emily Ockenden or Shawna Boardman. We have not had a thorough interview with
Seyth Boardman.
After working with only A.D.A. M. Levine for several months, A.D.A. J. Leitner and A.D.A. M. Wilhelm became
involved with the case. We also received the text message lead from Reece Wheeler to Shawna Boardman. That
opened an entire new scope of this investigation, and we became invested to learn everything about the main
Festival Command Post.
As it has been said before; our investigation into Astroworld 2021 has constantly changed as we slowly found new
information. Each time a new piece of information is learned with potential criminal elements to it, we must dive
in. That has added to the time and is ultimately why the case has not been "wrapped up" and completed.
We are currently attempting to follow up with what attorneys in this case have referenced. Namely there are
documents indicating people / entities knew there would be issues before the concert took place. We are also
digging further into the Command Post and setting up more interviews. The investigation continues to grow.

Narrative
It had been some time since M. Barrow and I had reached out to the plaintiffs' attorneys in this case. A.D.A. M.
Levine stated it might be a good idea to reach out and see if they would provide any information pertaining their
clients as it may hold evidentiary value for our case. On October 20, 2022, M. Barrow reached out to:
Alex Hilliard
Britney R. Pennycook
Richard Mithoff
Valerie Fisher
Yvette DeLeon
I later was reached out by Richard Mithoff. He just asked about how the investigation was going and offered help
should we need it from him or his firm.
Attorney McKenna Harper for Luble Voyles LLP reached out and asked if M. Barrow and J. Caten could meet to
discuss the case along with Lance Lubel. A meeting was set for 10/25/2022 at 0900 hours.
Lubel Voyles Firm Meeting
October 25, 2022
On October 25, 2022, Lt. S. Hope, M. Barrow and I met with Attorneys Lance Lubel and McKenna Harper at
, after they requested us to have a meeting with them. We shared some
information about the case, our progression of the case, and that we are still moving forward in the investigation.
The following information is what was shared with us (reported as hearsay):
Brent Silberstein, Sascha of Scoremore and the CEO of Live Nation changed the layout of the Travis Scott
concert or allowed it to be changed a week prior. This changed caused the funnel from Stage 2 to Stage 1. Also
the concert timer was approved by the CEO but that was argued by Brent Silberstein not to be a good idea. Also
Brent Silberstein is in hiding in Austin, Texas.
J. Caten provided a copy of Jurinek's phone created by Sgt. K. Daignault. J. Caten took pictures of the device in
its state when it was transferred to Attorney McKenna Harper.
They also provided BWG contact information incase the reason the BWG attorneys (Molly Pela and Will Moye)
were not cooperating so that we could re-serve them. That information is the following:
1.Defendant, BWG, Inc. a/k/a BWG Live, is a foreign for-profit corporation conducting business in Texas with its
headquarters located at 130 South Anderson Street, Los Angeles, California 90033-3220. Defendant BWG, Inc.
a/k/a BWG Live was responsible for the production work, designed the stage, and managed the technical aspects
of the performance at Astroworld Festival 2021. Defendant BWG, Inc. may be served by and through its
registered agent, eResidentAgent, Inc., at 7801 Folsom Blvd Ste 202, Sacramento, California 95826. Plaintiff

counsel of record.
Arnold & Itkin Firm Meeting
On October 26, 2022, I reached out to the Arnold & Itkin Law Firm to request the same information M. Barrow had
to the other attorneys as we had learned from McKenna Harper the firm was appointed as the lead to
disseminate information. I was put in contact with Attorney Noah Wexler. We set up a meeting for October 27,
2022 at approximately 10:00 AM.
October 27, 2022
M. Barrow and I went to the Arnold & Itkin Law Firm located at 6009 Memorial Dr., Houston, Texas. Attorney Noah
Wexler provided us with a map that segregated quadrants 1, 2, 3, and 4 into smaller parts. He stated their firm
was looking into representing two possible miscarriage cases as well. He stated it has been a slow process but
depositions have been worked on for the investigation. He stated the "higher ups" will start to be deposed in early

Lyons & Simmons Firm Meeting
October 20, 2022
Attorney Michael Lyons reached out to M. Barrow for a future meeting.
October 28, 2022
On the night of October 27, 2022, M. Barrow and I traveled to Dallas, Texas. On October 28, 2022, M. Barrow and
I attended a meeting at the Lyon & Simmons Law Firm located at 2101 Cedar Springs Rd, Suite 1900, Dallas,
Texas. We provided some insight to our investigation and told them we are actively working the investigation.
Lyons & Simmons Firm stated there are possible messages contained in the discovery evidence that may be
helpful to the criminal aspects of the investigation. They stated should we like to review them, we need to file a
Grand Jury Subpoena for Arnold & Itkin Firm for the information to be provided. They stated there are over
285,000 documents. They also mentioned to reach out to Mario Carter, Interirm Director Chief of Habitability.
The firm stated they had hired crowd experts along with crowd compression experts. They recommended
speaking with Keith Still. They stated their is evidence that may contain people knowing things were going to go
wrong before the concert. They mentioned these conversations were among stakeholders.
B.) Interactions with 24/7 Software Interactions
In our interview with Reece Wheeler and documentation that we have received in our investigation, we learned of
the company 24/7 Software. I used Google to locate the company (https://www.247software.com/) and submitted
a ticket for a request to speak with someone and that I was working the Astroworld Investigation.
October 13, 2022
I was contacted by Josh Gross of 24/7 Software. He stated he would be willing to have a meeting. We set for
12:00 Central.
The meeting included Gerald Hwasta (24/7), Attorney Brinton Wilkins, Josh Gross, and M. Barrow. It was a phone
conversation that I recorded via audio that will be later attached to the case file. We learned 24/7 Software only
provided the software. They stated they did not offer a text message platform at the time Astroworld 2021 took
place. They stated any further information would have to come from Unified Command. They stated they did not
have any personnel at the location.
C.) Interactions with Milestone XProtect Management Client
As I was reviewing the Unified Command provided information (attached to the external HDD), I found "Milestone
Mobile" mentioned in Unified Command e-mail UC_300002. I used Google to look up the company
(https://www.milestonesys.com/) and requested to speak someone. On November 2, 2022, I was contacted by
Josh Sweeny. He stated they do not keep track of any documentation or information. He provided a .png file and
stated whatever company utilized the software (in this case would be Unified Command), he advised me to reach
out to the entity and to request the files. The .png file has been attached to the external drive. On November 17,
2022, I requested this information from Attorney Joe Bailey and Attorney Ray Neuer of Unified Command.
D.) Interactions with ASM Global
November 2, 2022
On November 2, 2022, I requested Attorney Brett Young to give me a call. I spoke with him and asked if ASM
Global is in possession of any maps that were submitted to them as the final drafts for the festival. Attorney Brett
Young send me two files labeled as 137 and 138 (attached to the HDD). He also stated the following:
"Detective Caten:
I can confirm that version 1.37 was the version that was stamped approved at 11:02 am on November 1st by

Xavier Williams of the Houston Fire Department. Please see attached.
Peter confirmed my understanding that version 1.38 has been produced in the civil litigation by Seyth Boardman
(and maybe others). We do not believe that Seyth was the author/generator of the document itself, even though
Mr. Boardman presented his plan to HPD for approval on November 3 (Chief Satterwite and others from HPD
were involved in that discussion).
We think the author/generator of the site plan document is Emily Ockenden (version 1.38 and prior versions). We
do not know how or why version 1.38 was placed inside unified command. It would have been someone else's
role to place site maps in that room. Also attached here is version 1.38 we received in discovery.
As you know from prior discussions, these documents are considered confidential for the purposes of the
litigation. However, I consider your phone call and request to be a formal request of law enforcement and we are
more than happy to cooperate."
On November 10, 2022, I requested additional information from Attorneys Brett Young and Peter Tipps. We
received meetings invites that were put together by Michal McCall. He circulated the invitations. Refer to M.
Barrow Supplement for that information. On November 17, 2022, I received a .dwg file from Attorney Peter Tipps.
I attached it to the ASM Global section in the HDD.
E.) Interactions with City of Houston Habitability
On November 1, 2022, I left my contact information for the City of Houston Office of Habitability. On November 2,
2022, I made contact with Chief Mario Carter. He stated his office had anything to do with the festival. He stated
his only gets involved if they are asked to get involved. He told me to contact the Building Official Byron King
(( ) He stated he does not think his office did anything but will contact me back if they did. He stated
he was not in the position when the festival took place. He stated I can follow up with Nina Jackson who is a
spokesperson for NRG Park.
F.) Interactions with HFD
I contacted the HFD Arson Division and requested to speak with Xavier F. Williams. I was transferred to his desk
and left a voicemail. I also requested Lt. L. Menendez to look into making contact with Xavier Williams. After some
communications, we set for a meeting for Tuesday, November 29, 2022 at 1000 hours.
G.) Interactions with Guardian Barrier Services (Follow Up)
David Minton / John Wagner Follow Up Interview
Mentioned in Supplement #26
On September 22, 2022 at approximately 1300 hours, I reached out to John Wagoner. I was contacted on or
about September 26, 2022 by John Wagoner and his Attorney David Minton. I learned John Wagoner just before
the show, he saw people jumping over the VIP area barriers to get into the VIP area. He stated he reported the
issue to security and then responded to the central area where he would eventually hear the metal creaking as
discussed in his earlier interviews. He stated he did not know what methods they used if any to reinforce the
barriers at the VIP section. He stated this was near the area where the barriers move around the tree.
On October 12, 2022, I asked Attorney David Minton over Guardian Barrier services if there are any contracts,
blue-prints, layouts as to how the barriers were to be set up. I was contacted by David Minton shortly afterward.
He stated he would look into it. He stated he would like his client to have the most approved file so that they could
compare what they set up to see if it was accurate. I provided UC_310028 (Version 1.38) so Guardian could see
how different their setup was to the map.
On November 7, 2022, Attorney David Minton provided 3 pdf and 3 e-mails. They have been attached to the
external HDD under Guardian Barrier Services. Of the documents, one was a photo with orange markings on the
ground and brown dirt that appeared to be where the barriers were located. On November 15, 2022, I asked for
clarification. On November 16, 2022, I received the following response:

middle of the barricade. The "brown lines" that are mentioned could actually be dirt residue that would have
collected under neither the barricade. I didn't witness any evidence that the barricade moved.
Hope this helps

H.) Interactions with Houston Forensic Science Center (Drone Request)
On November 3, 2022, I contacted HFSC and spoke to A. Henry. I told her that I would like the HFD Approved
Map 137 to be set to overlay on top of the drone information they posted on the PIX4Dcloud. She stated she
would reach out to HFSC and see what they could do. On November 4, 2022, I was contacted by CSU Supervisor
Kristopher Wingert. He stated he received my request. I offered to check by with him at 500 Jefferson to better
explain what we would like done. CSU Supervisor Kristopher Wingert worked on it and provided us with some
.jpeg images attached to the case file. He stated he would not be able to testify to his work.
I.) Interactions with Pearland Police Department
I told Lt. S. Hope what I would like done. He stated to reach out to Sgt. Saditta who has been trained in drone
footage. Sgt. Saditta stated he would recommend Pearland Officer H. D. Oubre has he had just been trained on
the drone software. After reaching out to Officer H. D. Oubre, I was contacted by Pearland Officer B. Karr on
November 9, 2022. Officer B. Karr stated he has been assigned to help us with the investigation. I contacted
Officer B. Karr. M. Barrow and I downloaded the Unified Command Maps Printed, CLAIR Global files, CSU photos
and CSU Videos. We attached all the information to an external SDD.
M. Barrow and I went to , where we met Officer B. Karr. I provided him with the
external SDD. Over the next week, he kept in contact with me updating his findings. He went to 1 Reliant PKWY
and took his own measurements where Stage 1 was located. He stated he is an expert in his field and would be
able to testify to his findings. He typed up his findings as well doing the investigation. On November 17, 2022, he
came to 1200 Travis St and returned the external SDD. His findings are copied and pasted below:
"On November 8, 2022 Houston Police Department requested assistance with the Travis Scott Concert Incident
that occurred on November 5th, 2021 in the 4000blk of Main Street, Houston, TX 77021. I was requested to
assist with the request. I met with Detectives J. Caten and M. Barrow on November 9th and was briefed on the
request. Det Caten advised "I would like the blue and yellow area in the 137 PDF file to be measured as close as
possible to see the just how close we can get to 238,335 SQ ft. Then a comparison to what we actually have
using the cloud.pix4d software while attempting to use the same SQ ft overlap. Off the bat, you can see the area
between the two towers is much larger. They also appear to be somewhat closer to the stage removing room from
two of the quadrants." Det Caten provided me with an external hard drive with all drone imagery and event plans
for incident.
While reviewing the data I observed the provided drone models did not appear to have any form of scaling for the
project to ensure relative or absolute accuracy. I also noticed event plan 137 did not have any geo-reference
markers in the drawing, was not notated to be survey level accurate, have a disclaimer for accuracy, and the
Texans football fields appear to be scaled properly in relation to the notated scale reference. I checked through
the other files to find a control file or reference for the projects and was unsuccessful.
I then proceeded to the event location to capture known gps measurements utilizing the Pearland Police
Department GNSS RTK Rover. While on scene I captured 5 known points that could be referenced with the drone
imagery. Once the measurements were captured, I then reprocessed the drone imagery and scaled the products
to my known measurements. I then created a point cloud, 3D mesh, and geo-referenced Orthomosaic of the
scene. I checked the quality report for the project and found it to have an absolute accuracy of 1inch.
I began creating the final products using ESRI Arcgis Pro. I first attempted to geo-reference event plan 137.
Once properly geo-referenced, I noticed some of the features in the drawings were not properly placed such as
trees, installed fountains, etc. This further led me to believe that the provided drawing might not be accurate. I

then imported the created model and orthomosaic into Esri and created the final diagrams and models. The final
model can be found at the following link: https://arcg.is/1f8mnH.
I noted the actual build was not in accordance with the approved plans throughout.
I found that the actual area measurements to be: Stage 1 Area: SQFT= 221,761 Stage 1 VIP Area = 15,045.
Total actual event area = 236,806 Sq Ft. Total supported occupancy = 47,361
I also found the actual plan measurements to be: Stage 1 Area: SQFT= 222,237 Stage 1 VIP Area = 17,413. =
Total planned event area = 239,650 Sq Ft. Total supported occupancy = 47,930
Actual occupancy areas (Sq Ft):
quadrant 1 vs planned: 1,376 vs 2,165
I saved all the products to the external hard drive provided by Det Caten and provided it back to him.

their involvement with the investigation. He stated they produced documents through the .dwg files. He stated
they are a CAD Management Contractor. He stated his clients answered to BWG. He stated BWG such as Emily
Ockenden would make requests and they would adhere to those requests (move a tent around, etc). He stated
they would operate the software. he stated the company is on the verge of bankruptcy and they have provided
their files in the civil suit. He stated he could provide the information via subpoena. He stated he would reach out
to his clients for an interview.
I asked Attorney Justin Ratley if his clients took measurements or went to where the festival was held. He stated
Kathryn Paraskevas took measurements of the place and spoke with Emily Ockenden. I asked if he knows
whether or not they could speak to the festival not following the plan they created in the CAD. Attorney J. Ratley
stated he could not fully speak to that because he was hired after the site had been wiped and could not make his
own investigation. I asked if he would like to come by on November 17, 2022 to look over the map of the festival
and if he could take some questions back to his client. He agreed.
On November 11, 2022, I served Attorney Justin Ratley a Grand Jury Subpoena for his client's documents.

that she will look into the matter and get back with me shortly.
4.) Camera Review & Seanna McCarty Corroboration:
On October 19, 2022, I reviewed the Unified Command and NRG Cameras to make sure that none of the
cameras overlooked the Command Post in the Boneyard. I was unable to find any cameras that clearly
overlooked the Command Post in the Boneyard.
I found on Unified Command camera "S10" at 2200 hours, shows Seanna McCarty identified by her physical
description and clothing talking to a group of officers before walking away. I let Lt. L. Menendez know of the
situation. He passed along the footage of the officers to his SIU team who identified some of the officers for
statements to be added to the case file.
5.) Astroworld Arrests provided to J. Caten:
On June 13, 2022, Officer C. Rogers provided me with an excel spreadsheet of the arrests. I have attached all of

I reached out to A.D.A. M. Levine and asked about the charges since his name were on some of the charges. He
stated that day, he was contacted by Commander (now A.C. T. Hardin). He stated Hardin asked for the
trespassing charges and he trusted Hardin's experience and judgement after working with him during the George
Floyd protests. He stated I should reach out to A.D.A. N. Beedle over Misdemeanor. I reached out to A.D.A. M.
Beedle and we set up a at 1201 Franklin, 5th Floor.
On October 18, 2022, Detective M. Barrow and I met with A.D.A. R. Marshall, A.D.A. H. Brown, and A.D.A. N.
Beedle to discuss the arrests. A.D.A. R. Marshall stated they investigated the arrests and wanted to make sure
the arrests were not related in the deaths or could be attributed to a crowd crush / rush. She stated they reviewed
body cams and spoke to an HPD Sgt. Reed about the arrests. She stated he was surprised of trespass charges
being accepted from the event. She stated many of the cases fell under PTI (Post Trial Intervention) where the
defendants will attend a class to keep the offense from going on their record or the offense was dismissed. A.D.A.
N. Beedle stated it is possible the offense can be found as "No PC" by the judge. A.D.A. R. Marshall stated tickets
were not checked at the COVID site outside of the venue. They stated to check with A.D.A. Levine to see why the
charges were accepted the way they were for Astroworld. A.D.A. R. Marshall provided M. Barrow and I with a
NRG grounds map they used for reference in their case. It has been attached to the external harddrive (labeled as
A.D.A. R. Marshall reference map) and attached to the case file.

Hi Chad: please provide Houston Police department with available footage of the stage/incident area today that
was captured last night and downloaded for them onto a hard drive. Also provide them with other available video
tomorrow as you're able; I realize it's a lot. Please be sure that you make both a digital and hard-drive back-up
copy of both deliveries in the event they get lost somewhere in the process.
Upon delivery to the HPD officer, send an email to those on here with the name of the accepting officer, date and

AW #17
Subject: Astroworld Festival 2021
From Todd Johnson to Toby Francis and Justin Hoffman, second e-mail from Jeff Hargrove to Rich Schoenadel
and Todd Johnson.
-Meeting notes from Jeff Hargrove,
Hey Guys,
Here is what I learned at the mee.ng on Tuesday:
-There are two FOH areas spliXng center. Audio will be on the house right FOH. 40 feet deep, 50 feet wide
roughly. Front onstage corners at approx 150 feet ds and 50 feet off center. The actual audio FOH plaZorm is
24 feet wide by 32 feet deep.
-The two delay posi.ons will be in the FOH areas. Speakers at approx 190 feet ds and 55 feet off center. In
yesterdays email Daniel said they are concerned about delay coverage. They were thinking more towers
possibly. I think the two would probably do it. They have about 300 feet to cover. Maybe increase to 12 on
the delay hangs? Would have to get another L21-30 per tower and check weights.
-The Stage/thrust is 10 feet wide including monitor shelf. It runs about 40 to 50 feet upstage in the mountain
tunnel. There will be a VIP plaZorm on each side of the stage in the tunnel. Will need maybe 8-12 cp6 or
equivalent on the monitor shelf for VIP tunnel fill. The length and configura.on of the stage/thrust in the
house is not determined yet.
-Snake path TBD depending on thrust config. It will be every bit of 300 feet I'm sure.
-Good with power. 400A leg and right, termina.ng at the amp world tents. 2 L21-30 per delay tower.
Assuming original delay plan.
-MON world is 24 feet wide and 12 feet deep. SL behind the mountain. Prob with a tent depending on the
stage structure.
-Clair motors and steel.

1490724-21 0079
Narrative
-Amp worlds will have a 12 foot by 16 foot tent on each side somewhere between the main and side hang.
On the ground if its a rollable surface or close to ground level.
-Each delay world gets an 8x8 tent for amps and stuff.
-They say there should only be two consoles at mon and foh. A and B fes.val style. The stage/thrust is only 8
feet wide so there won't be any full bands. Just DJ and wireless for the most part. I'm sure this is subject to
change. No word on ar.sts.
-Audio load-in on 11/3 at 6pm.
-Stage hands: 12 audio in and 16 audio out. Access to off road forks.
-My two cents, a show with this much super low end should be LF60 on the PA and ULF on the subs. Up to
engineering.
Thanks!

oIn looking at the design before the computer bit the dust, there was no lighUng on the subs. Those lights were on
boxes or something in front of the subs. However I did noUce the art department has tried to put the mountain
base set, over some of the subs. Obviously this is a horrible idea and won't work....

Summary of Clair Global Files
*************************
Upon completion of my review of the Clair Global files, I did not find any more items of significance. There were
multiple copies of the design and drawings for the Clair Global equipment placement along with overall drawings
of the concert venue. There were multiple variations of the concert venue set up, none of which appeared to
exactly reflect the final design that was implemented. There were multiple changes made to the design and the
changes appeared to be discussed in various emails. However, none of the emails indicated when Apple came to
be involved and where their equipment would be placed.
Astroworld All Agency Public - Safety Meetings
****************************************
On 11/12/2022, we received email correspondence from Peter Tips, attorney for ASM Global. He shared
documentation pertaining to the safety meetings that proceeded the Astroworld Festival. The original documents
will be kept with the Case File (Volume 2). The following is a review of documents:

Interview with Apex Employee Assigned to the Festival Command Post
************************************************************
On 11/30/2022, Detective Caten and I held an interview with Richard Rickeada, the Apex Security employee
assigned to the Command Post. The interview was conducted over Zoom. Present for the interview were, David
Brothers (Attorney), Eugen Walters (Manager for Apex-Houston), Richard Rickeada, Detective Caten, and myself.
The following is a summary of our interview with Richard:
Background
Richard stated that he has been employed by Apex - Houston office for three years. He stated that he is retired
from HPD after 45 years of service.
He stated that he worked at this Astroworld Festival as the Apex Dispatcher in the Festival Command Post trailer.
He has worked one other Astroworld Festival (2019) in which he worked along the perimeter testing the sound
decibels to ensure they were within City Ordinance regulations.
As Dispatcher, his duties were to communicate only with the other Apex employees in the field (mostly posted
along the perimeter) and ensure they had what the needed. If a need would arise, such as Law Enforcement or
Medical, he would voice it to the corresponding Dispatcher or member in the room with him.
He stated he was issued his radio from a "shack" posted just outside the Command Post. He did not know who
the provider of the radios were or if they were capable of communicating with other groups or persons in the field
other than his Apex co-workers. He did not believe the radio transmissions were recorded.
Events during the Day
He stated that he arrived on site at 0500 hrs. At approximately 0700 hrs, he stated there were reports of people
crashing the gates. He stated that by 0800 hrs, they were "pretty much in chaos moving forward"
Richard further described the types of calls they were receiving at the time. He stated there were medical calls,
gate breaching, magnometers falling over, COVID testing site getting trashed, the merchandise tent getting
overrun, and fence cutting happening all over the place. He stated it was chaos.
I asked him what was going on in the room generally during the "chaos" and what the conversations he and
others were having were. He stated there was not time for "chit-chat" but it was all business. He devoted most of
his time focusing on his duties while he saw everyone else trying to manage their responsibilities.
I ask him if there were any times prior to the main concert if there were conversations about stopping the show or
not allowing the show to go for another day. He stated that as far as he knew, he was the only one at that time
voicing the need for the show to be stopped. He stated he turned to the "guy from California" who he thought
represented the overall security for the event, and told him several times that "if there was some what they could
shut it down, it needed to be shut down". He also thought to himself that he was worried about riots. But he
mentioned to the other guy, "look at whats going on during daylight, imagine what will happen at night".
Interactions with HPD Chiefs
He recalled expressing these same concerns to a few HPD Chiefs that he saw come in and out of the trailer at
different points during the day. He expressed the concern to them, "this is not safe, what can we do about shutting
it down? Or sure up that this thing doesn't go tomorrow" He stated that the people there were just too amped up
and too crazy.
I asked him what response he received from the comments he was making. He stated he was met with a lot of
"shrugged shoulders". He stated on one occasion he told a two star Chief, and that Chief "shrugged his shoulders"
and pointed to the other Chief who had three stars. He stated that the three star Chief looked at him with a "go to
hell" look and then walked out of the command post.
Speaking of HPD, he stated there was a Sergeant in the room with him who was with the Extra Job Officers. He
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:29 Page 2 of 14

Narrative
stated he told him that this show should not go on for another day. The Sergeant did not express much of
response to him only saying "yeah yeah". He also told the same thing to the "California Overall Security" person
and he heard him say, "this is just what they do" talking about the concert goers.
He mentioned seeing a tall HPD Lieutenant inside the trailer for the majority of the time. He could not recall
interacting with him. He was able to name two of the HPD personnel that he saw that day. Chief Edwards (the two
star chief mentioned) came thru twice, and Chief Jones (the three star Chief mentioned) who came thru once
accompanied by Chief Edwards. He believed those interactions occurred at around noon and then three or four
hours later for the second one.
He stated from where he was sitting, he could see the security camera monitors up on the wall in front of him. He
was not paying attention to them very much, only for brief times between focusing on the radio. He stated the
camera views would change sometimes.
I asked him if he remembered anything significant taking place on camera prior to the event. He stated that he
broke down the day into two parts. The events that took place prior to the main event (Travis Scott) consisted of
gate breaches and security issues. Once the main event was starting, it switched to mostly medical calls such as
people falling down, intoxicated, and other things.
He stated that once Travis Scott took the stage, he saw everyone "jumping around" but nothing too out of the
ordinary. As time went on, he noticed people getting "body surfed" out of the crowd. Some of those people would
get back up and walk off. He stated another short time would go by and he would see more people getting body
surfed out, but this time their bodies were limp. Next, they see the CPR is going on. He stated he noticed the CPR
at 9:30 because that was the time he texted his wife.
He stated that he saw Travis Scott during one those times pause the show but he was not sure if was in response
to what was going on or not. He stated that Travis resumed the show and in the meantime they were "pumping"
that person like crazy for about fifteen minutes. Next, he heard the medics in the room say that they had another
person unresponsive. It was at that point that he and others realized that something bad was going on out there.
I asked him if he could remember what the general "chatter" going on in the room was about during these times.
He stated that it was crazy in there and he described it like a "bee hive". He kept hearing that they needed medics
over here and there and he could hear the ambulances coming and going outside. He was also trying to pay
attention to his radio and his co-workers. He stated for context that he worked a command post during his service
in Vietnam and he had never seen a day like the one they were having for this event.
I asked him if he heard anyone say that the show needed to be stopped or anything similar to that. He stated
during that time he did not hear anyone say that. I asked him what the HPD Sergeant was doing at the time and
he stated that he was assuming he was on his own radio just like he was, he was not really sure. He stated that
he kept hearing about how medical had run out of ambulances and that there were non-medical personnel in the
field standing next to people who needed medical attention while they waited for a medic to arrive.
Other Personnel in the Room
He stated that he was the only Apex employee in the room. He believed there might have been two CSC
employees. He stated the other security companies had their own dispatchers as well (AJ Malino and Valle). He
recalled over-hearing the other security people talking about how one of their co-workers got stuck with a needle
out there.
Conclusion of the Event
When the concert was finally shut down, he texted his wife to let her know it was over. He stated that Chief Finner
and some other HPD guys came in. He stated that Chief gave him a hug and he told Chief, "God damn this thing
cannot go on tomorrow". The Chief informed him that it was not going on tomorrow and there had been possibly
eight fatalities. He told Chief that he could account for two of them that he saw on camera.
He located the phone number for the "California Guy" (I researched that number and found it be
associated with Matt Eyer).

Interview with Matt Eyer
************************
Detective Caten and I arranged an interview with Charles Flood (Attorney) and Matt Eyer. Matt Eyer is the
indivdual we found was assigned to the Festival Command Post as the the Main Security Dispatcher. The
following is a summary of our interview with Matt Eyer:
Background
He stated that he has been working in the event security profession since 1999. His first job was working event
security for a hockey team in Columbus, Ohio. He was hired by Seyth Boardman in that occasion and has worked
on and off for him for about 22 years. He stated that he was employed by CSC until 2013. Since that time, he has
been working almost exclusively in festival security. Currently, he stated that he in unemployed (since May 2022).
For Astroworld, he would have been classified as freelance or self-employed and he was brought onto the job by
Seyth Boardman who was representing B3 at that time but previously was under Sequel Tour Management.
His job title for Astroworld was Command Post Operator. He stated that he was stationed in a room filled with
dispatchers who were each representing their own entities. They're basic function was to communicate and
address matters that would arise throughout the day. He stated that once they became aware of a situation, they
would dispatch the appropriate entity or resource to handle it. He stated that they would also maintain a log.
Training, Qualifications and Experience
I asked him if he had any training for his position. He explained that the industry was relatively new, and he has
seen it grow and develop over the years. He stated that in the early days when he was getting started, it was all
very basic and since that time it has become more sophisticated. I interpreted his explanation to mean that
although he has not received any formal training, he has been in the industry long enough to see it develop to
where it is today. He stated that he has completed online training for event security before along with training
pertaining to some of the different companies that he has been involved with over the years.
I asked him if he has been involved with Travis Scott related events and other hip-hop concerts. He stated he was
a part of the Rolling Loud Tour which featured Travis Scott and others. He stated Rolling Loud was a "mess" as
well.
Preparation for Astroworld
He stated that he was not in attendance at the Safety/Security meetings but said that Seyth and Shawna were,
and they were likely the ones running the meetings. For preparation, he stated that he and everyone knew that
they were in for a "wild" night, just based of his experience in previous Travis shows. He recalled hearing about
the show that was shut down a month before Astroworld in which they were experiencing a similar type of crowd.
He stated that when he arrived at Astroworld, he may have reviewed some maps, but mostly relied on a
walk-through alongside others. He stated he was not let in on the particulars of the show, rather he reported to his
assignment.
Talking about the walk-through, he stated that he arrived at the venue the day before the show. He first went to
his assignment area which was off-site or away from where the concert stages were. He stated that his overall
take on the whole venue was that it was a "weird" place to set up to begin with. He stated that the check-in
process which included a single entrance with multiple check points which included a bridge was a little confusing
to him and he stated that this would cause problems as the day progressed. He stated that at other events he has
worked, they would have two or three different entrances to the venue as opposed to one.
He stated that the two Stages were also "weird". He stated that the area between Stage 2 and Stage 1 created a
"pinch point". He believed that they widened that area to alleviate the pinch, but it was still an odd set up from his
view. However, he stated that the who thing was typical for other events that he has worked in that the
producers/designers just had to make do with what they had.
Matt explained how he was logged into the Incident Management System along with all of the others who were
assigned to the Command Post. The general idea is for everyone to log things as they are happening unless it
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:29 Page 4 of 14

Narrative
becomes too busy and then he would have logged items after the fact. Outside the members of the Command
Post, he stated that there would have been a few others who would have had access to the Incident Management
System but he was not sure who else besides Seyth Boardman.
For communications, he stated that he was issued a radio and he operated mostly on the "Security Main" channel
which connected all the security organizations at the venue. He stated that he also monitored a closed channel
reserved just for security managers. He stated the other security companies had their own dispatcher inside the
trailer with him. They would communicate to their own people unless the needed additional resources, they would
get on the main security channel. He could not remember the names of any of the other security dispatchers.
In terms of his seating position inside the command post (also indicated on a drawing he sent back to us), he was
seated at a table by himself, facing the security footage screens. He stated that Reece Wheeler was on a different
table to his right. Directly behind him was a person from Apex. To his back right were the Medical Dispatchers.
Lastly, he recalled seeing the other security dispatchers and the camera operators seated in front of him.
He stated that everything started the night before the event. He stated that there were people lined up at the event
already which he stated was unusual. He believed that this was because there was word about some exclusive
merchandise that was going to be sold at the venue. He stated that they were scheduled to open the venue early
that morning on November 5th. He stated that people had already pushed their way through before opening time
and had made it to the entry that was between them and the merchandise line. He stated that the merchandise
line was where many were trying to get to and it was proceeded by numerous bike racks.
He recalled the opening to the venue was a little earlier than they had planned just due to the build up of people.
He stated that throughout the day there were numerous instances of people becoming impatient in the security
lines and they would push there way into the venue. Most notably this occurred at 2 PM which was when the news
media was out there.
Several times during the day he received calls of people jumping the fences into the venue. He stated these calls
were almost non-stop and it became overwhelming. He recalled during the day hearing that HPD was no longer
"processing" the ones that were jumping into the venue due to either the overwhelming numbers or lack of
resources (handcuff etc.).
He stated there was an inflatable dome-like structure where smaller artists would perform. He stated that location
would get overwhelmed with people at times, causing damage to the location. He also heard of a "merchandise
drop" at a tent towards the back of the venue that led to a rush and panic from the concertgoer to get to it. These
were just a few more examples of instances where the chaos was overwhelming for security and those inside the
command post.
The "Uniqueness" of Astroworld and Travis Scott Events
I asked him if this festival and the behavior of those in attendance was different from other shows that he has
worked. He stated that it was different. For starters, the Astroworld Festival was announced about a year in
advance and the promotion material featured video from previous festivals showing attendees jumping into the
venue and destroying things. He stated that this was an odd message which seemed to invite that type of
behavior to occur again. He stated that it was a terrible idea to promote the festival in that way. Also, the
"merchandise drops" the venue was doing also was unique for him and that caused a great deal of issues.
I asked him about his experience with Rolling Loud which he worked just prior to Astroworld. He stated that Travis
Scott was the last performer of the three-day event in New York City. He stated that they were in the parking lot of
Citi Field. He stated that the Police were overwhelmed. There were people jumping into the venue from every
direction and as time went on there were people jumping out the venue because it was becoming too packed.
People were on top of port-a-pottys, climbing fences, climbing poles just to see or get into the venue. At no point
did he think that there would be a crush or anything, but it was all very chaotic. He recalled being very exhausted
once it was all over with.
He recalled there being a big timer on Stage 1 that was counting down until the show was supposed to start. He
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:29 Page 5 of 14

stated that people were migrating from Stage 2 to Stage 1 about 20-30 minutes prior to the start of Travis' show.
He stated the migration between the stages was a problem, again using the word "pinch point" as people would
get stuck walking through that narrow pass between the stages only to run into the stage structure with its
thrust/middle aisle. He stated that the aisle was mainly for security to get through the middle of the crowd, but he
believed that people did not realize that the barrier stopped there, preventing them from getting to the other side of
the stage where them may have been more room.
He stated that at this time there were still people jumping fences into the venue. There were also overflowing trash
cans and a variety of other issues occurring around the venue that that they were trying to handle. But according
to him, there was nothing atypical happening before the lead-up to the show at 9 PM.
He pointed out the problem of having Stage 2 operating exclusively during the day and then Stage 1 operating
exclusively at night for Travis. This led to all the people congregating in one area each time. Stage 2 was packed
all day with exception to the Travis Scott "super fans" who had staked out their spot at Stage 1 early in the day.
He and everyone in the trailer understood that when the shows wrapped up at Stage 2, the entirety of that crowd
was going to make their way to the Stage 1.
I read to Matt the text message that was sent from Reece Wheeler to Shawna Boardman at 9 PM and asked him
if he recalled the events that Reece was describing taking place. He stated that he could not remember if he knew
about the text going out because there was a lot going on at that time. However, he stated that it was not unusual
to see people being pulled over the barricade. He explained that people would be camped out at that location for
long periods of time in anticipation of the show without realizing that the remainder of the crowd was going to pour
in and make things very tight. He stated that this was the reason that they bulk up the security in the barricade so
that they can be there to pull people out during the show. If there was any kind of panic happening, it was not
anything that was atypical from a dozen of other shows he has worked.
As for seeing people who were unconscious, he stated that he did not recall seeing that early on. He stated that
Saltzman (the dispatcher for Paradocs) notified them that one of the security guards who was brought to the
medical tent might have been jabbed with something. This was an early rumor that he continued to believe even
after the show was over. Later in the show, he recalled seeing someone receiving CPR in the crowd which their
camera hovered over. He recalled overhearing other "heart incidents" taking place which he then relayed to Seyth
via text.
Still discussing the text message from Reece to Shawna. He stated that it was a surprise to him that he would
have sent that out. He stated that he did not recall Reece discussing the situation with him before sending that
out.
He stated that the bulk of the things that he was hearing on his radio were requests for more security. He stated
he was busy trying to deploy security to different areas or notifying the other security dispatchers in the room for
the need to additional security. This included the lead up to the show when he had to deploy security that was
working Stage 2 over to Stage 1. He did not recall if he received requests for additional security from someone
other than security members.
In addition to all the calls for additional security, he stated towards the end of the night their concern would shift to
egress. He stated they would prepare the gates and begin mobilizing people to move towards those positions in
an effort to prepare the crowd to leave the area.
Regarding the show stopping or coming to an end. He recalled standing up and announcing to the room at around
9:45 PM that the show would be ending at 10 PM. However, after 10 PM they could all hear the show was still
going on. He remembered calling Seyth who told him that the show would be going for another 10 minutes. He
then updated the group inside the command post including the Officers who were in the back that the show would
be ending in 10 minutes. He did not remember what gave rise to the "stop the show" conversation.
He stated that no one expressed to him that the show "needed to end" or that the show should be stopped. He
stated there were times when people would ask for updates as to when the show was going to be over. In terms
of his contact with Seyth and Shawna throughout the day and during the concert, he stated that he tried to keep
his contact with them limited because he knew that they would be busy with other matters.
He stated that sometimes they would have security posted near the stage or the stage manager would contact

him. He believed that this might have been the person that got on the radio to tell him there were still two songs
lefts with an estimate of the ten more minutes until the show was to end.
I asked him about how Reece Wheeler stated that he was "pestering" him a lot during the show and how he
described Matt as looking up and nodding. Matt stated that he did not consider Reece to be pestering him, but he
did recall Reece getting his attention from time to time. We recounted the words that Reece used when describing
how he was "pestering" Matt for about thirty minutes asking him if and when they were going to pause or stop the
show. According to Reece, Matt told him that Seyth and Shawna were aware of the situation. Matt stated that he
could not recall that dialogue, but around that time (9:30 and on) they would have been in the "thick of it" or in
other words very busy.
We asked him if he had any contact with Emily Ockenden during the show. He stated that he recalled that name
but did not believe that he had much if any contact with her.
Concluding Statements
We asked his opinion about the overall stage set up and if it was "industry standard". He stated that it was
abnormal to have both stages facing in the same direction. Again, he emphasized the issue of the pinch point
created between the two stages and ending at the barricade at Stage 1.
We asked him is thoughts about the overall density of the crowd. He stated that his view was limited so he could
not really speak to the overall density. He stated Shawna told them at one point that there were 37,000 people
there but also he had heard that some of the scanners were messed up and also that there were people jumping
into the venue leading him to believe that the number was closer to 50,000. But in his mind, he believed that there
was room for people at the venue, however people just got trapped moving from Stage 2 to Stage 1.
He read out to us the texts he sent to Seyth during the show:
2149 hrs - Paradocs activating all available units, they are completely overwhelmed.
2202 hrs - Currently 5 cardiac incidents in progress.
In terms of other conflicts that did not get mentioned earlier, he recalled struggling with Apex. He stated that he
was having difficulty getting Apex people moved to where they needed to go. He recalled turning to the Apex
dispatcher in the command post who he observed was overwhelmed by everything going on, especially with the
merchandise tent getting overrun at that time.
Regarding learning the outcome of the people who were transported from the event, he stated that he did not
learn the total outcome in terms of the deaths what had happened until a day or so later.
He stated that he has remained in contact with Seyth in Shawna up until May of 2022. They have worked a
number of other events together since Astroworld. He stated that they have talked about Astroworld and their
experiences there. He recalled working an event in Florida with Seyth and Shawna the week after Astroworld and
the event was double the size of Astroworld which made him very nervous given what he had just experienced.
In conclusion, we asked if Seyth or Shawna ever expressed any guilt or a desire that they had done something
differently for Astroworld. He stated that they did not and he believed that they did the best that they could with the
resources they were given.
End of Interview.
Fire Marshall X. Williams
**********************
On 11/29/2022, Detective Caten and I held a phone interview with Fire Inspector Xavier Williams. Mr. William's
came to be involved because his name appeared on Astroworld Plan 1.37 which featured a digital stamp of
approval from Mr. Williams with the date 11/01/2021. Present for the interview was myself, Detective Caten,
Inspector Williams, and HFD Chief Creeks. The interview was recorded, and the questions were largely derived
from the outline below.
1.How long have you been with HFD?
He stated that he has been with HFD for 28 years.

2.What is your job/position with HFD? How long have you been doing that job?
His current position is Fire Inspector, and he has held that position since 2008.
3.What type of training have you received and what type of training have you received for your specific
position?
He stated that he obtained his current position via promotional exam. In addition to that, he has received training
to acquire his state certifications along with his annual in-service training. He stated that he holds a Bachelor of
Science degree.
4.Can you explain your process for approving plans/designs?
a.What are the standards you/HFD adhere to when reviewing plans?
b.Do you do any measurements or calculations, if so, what kind?
c.Do you communicate with the plan designer and made recommendations?
He stated that everything he looks for is permit related when approving plans (for this event: Pyro, Tents, and
LPG). The approval process is geared towards inside events. He stated that there are general requirements that
must be met during the process depending on the types of permits being asked for.
Chief Creeks added that square footage is taken into consideration for any event they inspect for permitting
purposes. However, for outdoor events there is no code they use as a reference, so in order to make their
estimations, they treat the outdoor event as an indoor event. They adhere more to a "standing room only" formula
which is 5 square feet per person (which is National Fire Code).
Chief Creeks explained further that they had different Inspectors assigned to evaluate the site for specific permits,
such as the Pyro.
5.What was your experience reviewing the Astroworld design?
a.Who was your primary point of contact?
b.What stuck out to you about the plans?
c.Were there any areas of concern?
i.Pinch points
ii.Capacity issues
d.Where you provided a number for potential occupancy?
e.Once approved, could the plans be changed, if so, would they need to be approved again?
i.Are their "penalties" for deviating from an HFD approved plan? Has it happened before?
For Astroworld, Inspector Williams stated that his focus was to review everything to make sure that it fell within the
permits the event had applied for. He also evaluates the plans and tells the venue what kind of permits they
needed to apply for in order to be approved.
He stated that he did not have any direct communication with anyone during the approval process. He stated that
he was sent the plans and if it met the standards of the permits required for the event it passed, if not, it failed.
He stated that he gets the plans from the event planners at NRG who would have gotten them from production.
He stated that he is not a part of any of the planning or designing process. He stated that he only received and
approved one version of the plans.
We explained to him the context of there having been multiple plans created, the 1.37 which he approved, the
1.38 which was not sent to him, and then the actual structure that was built which differed from all of the plans.
He stated that he was not made aware of the changes that were made. He stated that normally they would pick up
on the changes and ask the vendor to make corrections before the event takes place. If they found out about the
changes afterwards, he stated that maybe they could write them some citations, but he was not sure about the
criminal liability. He stated that he would investigate that some more and provide an answer when we meet with
them again.
As far as what stuck out to him when he reviewed the Astroworld plans, he stated that there was nothing in
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:29 Page 8 of 14

Narrative
particular that stuck out to him. He stated that the previous two Astroworlds took about two weeks to build
whereas this Astroworld only took a week, which he stated was unusual and that it felt rushed.
He stated that he did not evaluate the "pinch points", but they did have a role in evaluating egress and exits. He
recalled that the plan that was approved had enough areas from which to exit.
6.How do you determine "useable space" for people to occupy What is the extent of measuring the blue
portion of the map?
7.Why/how do you use the formula for 5 square foot per person. Was there a particular capacity limit the
festival staff where looking for.
He was advised that the expected occupancy of for the event was 50,000. Chief Creeks stated that they normally
would base their occupancy calculation off the entire venue area or any area that was fenced off. They would not
calculate the occupancy of the stage area because it would have been open space with no defined fencing around
it.
He stated that he could provide the permits that were approved for Astroworld in our next meeting with them.
He stated that he did a physical walk-through with the whole NRG staff and Astroworld personnel the day before
the concert. He stated that he did not notice any differences or changes during those walk-throughs. He did not
perform any measurements at that time.
He recalled being present at the security and safety meetings which were run by Mike McCall with NRG (Director
of Events).
It was asked again what would happen if I submitted plans for approval and then made changes that ultimately did
not change anything pertaining to the permits or the tents but made certain areas smaller. He stated that if
anything was moved, it would have to get approved by him or they would have had to submit a revised plan for
him to approve.
End of Interview
Interview with Joe Stallone (Scoremore)
**********************************
Detective Caten and I arranged an interview with Eric Nicols (Attorney), Dan Cogdell (Attorney) and Joe Stallone.
Joe Stallone is an attorney who was representing Scoremore at the Astroworld Festival. He was brought to our
attention after I found an image of him surface on an Officer's BWC upon my review. The following is a summary
of our interview with Joe Stallone:
Joe stated that he represented Scoremore Holdings for the Astroworld Festival. He stated that he has worked with
Scoremore for ten years and he has attended numerous Scoremore affiliated events. He attended the Astroworld
Festival of 2019.
His role before and during the festival is to review sponsorship agreements and other contracts related to the
event. He is also there to provide any advice or council for his clients anytime that they need it. He stated that he
does not participate in any of the negotiating aspects of the contracts. Rather he participated in the creation of a
standard form/agreement that is sent to and signed by the vendor. He then would go back and review the contract
and ensure that the information is correct.
He stated that he was also involved with some of the deals between Scoremore and Travis Scott which involved
holding the festival. He referred to those deals as "Co-promotion" deals, and he would review the drafts of those
deals as they were being prepared.
He stated that he did not participate or recall participating in the review of any contracts pertaining to the hiring of
security. I also asked him who was involved with bringing Apple into the Festival plan, and he stated that he did
not know who that would have been.
The Day of the Festival
He stated that he arrived on site early on the day that the festival was to take place. He was located in the
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:29 Page 9 of 14

Narrative
production area (outside of the festival footprint), inside one of the trailers that was prepared. He stated that he got
up and walked around on a few occasions to both stretch his legs and to familiarize himself with the vendor areas
of the festival grounds.
He stated that he was issued a radio for this event. He primarily stayed on the Producer Channel. He did not recall
any radio communications that stood out to him prior to the Travis Scott concert in the evening.
During the Travis Scott performance, he was located in the same trailer he was in earlier that day. He stated that
he did not leave the trailer until approximately 10:15 - 10:30. Once he left the trailer, he noticed the line of
ambulances trying to get into the venue, so he decided to walk over and see what was going on.
He stated that the only radio communication he heard over the Production Channel that could have indicated
there was a problem was what he referred to has an "unintelligible" shouting. He could not make out what was
being said nor who was saying it. He believed that communicate was made sometime between 10:00 and 10:15,
before he left the trailer.
He stated that he walked over to the medical tent to see what was going on. While there, he saw the line of
ambulances and he saw a person being loaded up into one of them. He assisted with keeping the area clear so
that the medical personal could have room to work. While at the tent, he saw Trey (the person he said was hired
as a PR Representative for the show), David Stromberg (Travis Scott's Manager), Brad Wavra, John Junnel, and
"our" Head of Security.
After his time at the medical tent, he went to the HPD command post and stayed in the area for the initial press
conference.

This video was shot from the DJ both stage right. The person shooting the video appears to be in the booth with
the DJ, video documenting a portion of the show. At approximately the 12:05 mark, a song ends and the DJ
pauses and then audibly states, "two people died" after apparently hearing a transmission into his talk-back
microphone. Next, Drake came on stage and the DJ returned to focusing on his work.
At the 19:52 mark, the DJ pulls out his phone and appears to be texting someone.

did the drawings but Unified Command had files exported to it in .pdf. I do not believe Unified Command rec'd or
worked from any .dwg file. UC certainly did not create or develop them. UC input regarding camera placement

1200 Hours - Attorney Joe Bailey responded with the following information:
"Good afternoon, Detectives.
Following our meeting earlier this week, I tried to answer some of the questions. This message is more qualified
than I am used to. With Ray Neuer out this week, please accept the following summary of issues. I do not believe
this has all the answers you need, but we are still trying to determine them. Please consider this summary only
as my (Bailey's) understanding. I am also using my words to communicate this to you.
1.The information management system which generates the logs produced earlier. The system is the same as
the one used at Rolling Loud in NY in October, 2021. However, Unified Command did not have any dispatchers
at Rolling Loud. They only hung cameras. The system was purchased at the direction of the event's sponsors
and the software was not customized by UC. While Unified Command had purchased the system, it was done at
someone else's direction and the data was entered into it by someone/persons/entities other than UC.
2.The data for Rolling Loud is not owned by Unified Command.
3.Astroworld Festival was different in that Unified Command did the customizing for AW.
4.Milestone Mobile. It is an app that anyone can download. A person with the app must enter a passcode to
watch whatever is being broadcast through the app. Milestone Mobile does not record or allow storage. It is just
an "opening" to view.
UC did not send the passcode out to just anyone. We are not sure who was on the list. It may have been
produced previously, but UC is trying to determine that. Anyone without the proper passcode, the video would not
"line up" correctly and would be difficult, may impossible to watch.
Having a police officer receiving a passcode to view on the app would not be surprising.
5.The map. Unified Command received a map months before the event. UC was probably NOT part of any
changes. The map received may not have had some of the sight obstacles noted on it (e.g. trees not accounted
for). When the cameras were hung, some of the guys had to make changes on the fly to account for obstacles
that were either not accounted for or which were created/moved in different spots from the original map."

****** i.) Current Case Status ******
After receiving the discovery drives from Arnold & Itkin, we began searching through the files. Without
context, many e-mails and text messages appear to be concerning. This pushed Barrow and I to reach out
to attorneys. We requested new interviews and some of those, we have already interviewed (Brent
Silberstein & Rob Paine for example). Of these messages, there are concerning messages between Emily
Ockenden and Seyth Boardman, Brent Silberstein and Seyth Boardman, and more. M. Barrow and I
discussed it over with prosecutors. We decided we needed to get a business record affidavit to
authenticate the records so that they would be in admissible form should criminal charges be filed in the
future. I reached out to Arnold & Itkin. I requested a document that contained all of the files and which
entities produced them. After that document was received, A.D.A. M. Wilhelm provided GJS which we
sent to specific entities who are in possession of documents that appear potentially to be criminal in
nature. A.D.A. M. Wilhelm stated we could not use specific name files and would need to be more general
in our requests.
The GJS should cover the e-mails and the documentation provided by the entities as they can be deemed
as business records. M. Barrow and I were concerned we did not have a way to authenticate the text
messages for the case. The text messages were screenshots. Many texts were between two possible
suspects. We believed the Apple accounts would not contain the messages as time had passed AND not
everyone backs the messages up to their iCloud. I reached out Special Crimes Division with HCDAO. I
learned of another way to authenticate the text messages. I was advised to get the transaction data from

Suppl No

Narrative
Apple and/or the other phone carriers. The transaction data should align with the screenshotted text
messages therefore authenticating the text messages. We reached out to Apple and received the
identifiers for the actors involved. Detective M. Barrow drafted a search warrant for the Apple accounts
and sent it to A.D.A. M. Gilliam to draft the warrant. We are waiting for the warrant to come back to get it
signed.
While we are waiting for the interviews and to receive the search warrant to Apple, M. Barrow and I are
continuing to go through the discovery drives. On January 9, 2023, M. Barrow received a second set of
discovery drives from Attorney Noah Wexler from Arnold & Itkin. We are playing catch up with the
documentation for this case. The GJS to the entities were sent on 02/22/2023 and on 02/23/23. We
continue to investigate and gather information for this case.
***** While interviewing Rob Paine for the second time, we learned of a new security company called S.I.S.
We are working to identify the individuals that worked Astroworld 2021 and will attempt to interview
them. *****
2.) Astroworld Investigation Path Summary Continued...
In Supplement #78 generated myself, I ended the section "Astroworld Investigation Path Summary" with:
"We are currently attempting to follow up with what attorneys in this case have referenced. Namely there are
documents indicating people / entities knew there would be issues before the concert took place. We are also
digging further into the Command Post and setting up more interviews. The investigation continues to grow."
On November 17, 2022, M. Barrow and I served a Grand Jury Subpoena to the appointed plaintiffs attorneys in
the litigation; the Arnold & Itkin Law Firm. The recipient of the subpoena was Attorney Noah Wexler. On
December 1, 2022, Wexler produced four external hard drives. These hard drives have taken us months to get
through. The day we received the drives from Wexler, we shared with A.D.A. M. Wilhelm for her to download into
their system and search through as well. M. Barrow and I continue to go through every file which we estimate to
have over 100,000 files for the four hard drives.
Initially, I began to type out the important e-mails / text messages / documents I reviewed so that I could put it into
this report. After a while, we saw there were so many pertinent e-mails / text messages / documents that we
decided to change course in the way we documented the data. The 38 pages of notes I typed up verbatim thus far
from these documents were printed and case be seen in the field notes of J. Caten in blue back Volume #2 (See:
"J. Caten's Typed Field Notes for E-mails in this Supplement for clarity in HPD 1490724-21"). They will also be
added in a future supplement that documents the data within the drives.
M. Barrow and I tried to find different ways to get the important information of these documents marked in an
efficient way. To help organize the enormous amount of information we were sifting through, we tried different
ways to get everything organized such as typing out the e-mails, making brief summaries of e-mails (PC
document). This ultimately lead us to putting vital information / messages into an "In-Depth Case Synopsis" which
will be included in all the case file volumes.
This In-Depth Case Synopsis consists of background information extracted from the Internet and interviews of the
entities involved. It contains copied and pasted e-mails / text messages / documentation and their origin to be
reviewed. It also has the most accurate timeline we have generated with some text / e-mails imbedded. F future
supplement will include the origin file names for the data we utilized in the synopsis. Please refer to "In-Depth
Case Synopsis" for reference.
3.) Reason for Creating In - Depth Case Synopsis Document:
We believed it would be easier to review the pertinent data to a potential criminal investigation in one place that is
copied and pasted from the source. We also determined it would be more efficient rather than type out every
word. Through our findings, we found text messages and e-mails regarding concern for Astroworld 2021. Some of
these discussions highlighted concerns for safety, capacity, and frustration. Of the individuals / entities involved,
our focus narrowed on conversations between:

It is important to note that there were other conversations of concern / alarm outside of these five individuals (such
as Bebhinn Gleeson from Apple & Rob Paine of House of Paine). The focus for M. Barrow and I was to look at all
evidence to find any criminal elements. It appears our focus has turned towards a possible negligence case. That
is because there are messages with some of these five individuals stating they how the festival gets shut down or
the stage is not approved. There are messages wanting to quit or dealing with the chaos of the festival. At first, I
attempted to create a PC document named "PC F2ile E-mail Template" but as the information grew longer, I
decided to make a synopsis document. The files below are files indicating content pertaining to safety, capacity,
and festival issues:
4.) New Information on EOPs & Festival Security Advance:
So far in the investigation we just had the EOP for Astroworld 2021 which we thought was created by Seyth
Boardman but e-mail communication revealed Matt Eyer drafted the EOP. Jim Bengsy who works for Travis Scott
provided "Festival EoP & Festival Security Advance 2021" which can be referenced below under 12.) Splitting
Up Work - External Harddrives. We learned Rob Weekes for Astroworld 2019 had an EOP. According to Scott
Davidson, he sent a cease and desist letter to Rob Weekes for using Code 4 EOP.

5.) New Grand Jury Subpoenas:
New Apple GJS:
On January 20, 2023, M. Barrow and I requested a GJS with the following information:

I received the subpoena from A.D.A. M. Levine, sent it to CID HPD who served it to Apple.
On February 22, 2023, M. Barrow and I received seven GJS. They were:
Scoremore - Nichols
Live Nation - Kowalski
Brad Wavra - (asked Kowalski if they would accept for Wavra)
AJ Melino - Tim Reynolds
Apple - Farthing
BWG - Moye and Pela
ASM Global - Young / Tipps
M. Barrow served all the GJS via e-mail to the above entities (attorneys). I missed the ASM Global one. I
submitted the GJS for ASM Global on February 23, 2023 (Attorneys Peter Tipps and Brett Young).
While we were sending GJS to CID to gather Apple information and phone subscriber data. It appeared as though
we had already done so in months prior and received the results. I believe at the time, the investigation was going
a different direction. We had all the records already. J. Caten did send a GJS to CID for Brent
Silberstein (drafted by A.D.A. M. Wilhelm which he served to Apple.)
6.) Attempting to Authenticate Files:
We are at a point in the investigation that we decided it is best to authenticate files. M. Barrow and I have asked
for Business Records Affidavits (BRA) for all of the documents and videos that have been given to us by
attorneys. For the text messages, M. Barrow and I have requested subpoenas from the D.A.'s Office to serve to
phone carriers to receive potential databases that would hold those text messages (for example, iCloud). As of
January 20, 2023, I have asked for BRAs from:
Attorney Joe Bailey (Paradocs / Clair Global; who has told me Ray Neuer has taken over Unified Command)
Attorney Ray Neuer (Unified Command) - Spoke to M. Barrow
Attorney Chris Davis (Ambulnz)
Attorney Andrew Farthing (Apple)
Attorneys Brett Young & Peter Tipps (ASM Global) - Wants to have a Phone Conversation with Wilhelm to be in
compliance.
Attorney Charles Flood (B3Risk) - 02/24/23 - Stated they are near completion.

A.) Interactions with ASM Global & Mark Miller Interview
On December 16, 2022, M. Barrow asked the following question to Attorney Brett Young of ASM Global:
"This is the kind of stuff we have questions about right now. What is he talking about when it comes to county
admin and capacity? Who is the county admin person they are communicating with?"
On December 30, 2022, I asked attorneys Brett Young and Peter Tipps a question about who was speaking in the
text messages. I provided files SMG-000036693.jpg and SMG-000036694.jpg. Mr. Young responded with:
"Ryan Boros is the answer, and he describing a stampede-like concern at initial entry. The three parking lot

Narrative
concept from Seyth Boardman was designed to spread these kids out over both space and time in order to avoid
stampedes at the front gates in the Blue Lot, at the mags in the Green Lot, and with all the transition work
between stages 2 and 1. As far as I know, aside from a few moments of hooliganism early in the morning and
around 3 pm in Green lot, the stampede concerns were handled well. What happened during the Stage 1
performance is a completely different matter than what Mr. Boros was describing in his part of that text thread."
He received the following response from Mr. Young:
"Detective Barrow:
Good afternoon. Thank you for your question.
When someone wants to use NRG Park for an event, they contact Mr. Gaines because he is a commercial and
sales guy. Events that have used the park before go into one pile and new events go into a second pile. Mr.
Gaines and the commercial person for the event/show/expo/talent do what commercial people do - they talk in
broad outlines about what the event will be, when, for how long, for how many people, whether that event is
suitable given the physical constraints of the space inside the park and, of course, the fee that will be charged.
Once they reach a general understanding on all of the above, SMG will approach Harris County Sports and
Convention Corporation ("Sports Corp") and seek their approval. No one at Sports Corp is doing a capacity
analysis or a crowd density analysis for an event. Rather, Sports Corp is evaluating whether the proposed event
is consistent with their goals/vision for the park. If Sports Corp gives Gaines the thumbs up, then the
event/show/expo/talent will have to prepare a written plan (you have seen, for example, the plan for Astroworld
2021).
The event plan is provided to us and then, as the facilitator, we provide it to the fire marshal (in this case,
Inspector Williams) for his approval. The fire marshal approves every single event that takes place at NRG Park,
which happens hundreds of times each year. So if the lizard show wants to have a few thousand people inside
Hall E, Inspector Williams has to approve it. If the Nutcracker Market wants to have a few more thousand people
take over the NRG Center for the weekend, Inspector Williams has to approve it. If Disney on Ice wants to have
even more people inside the football stadium, Inspector Williams has to approve it. If anyone is telling you that is
not the process, they are just not familiar with the facts.
I am not surprised that Wavra and Lewis did not make precise distinctions between "county" and "city" and "sports
corp." They don't communicate with any of those entities when it comes to scheduling events at the park - we do.
That is our primary function as a facilitator (between all of the interested parties) when it comes to getting events
booked. Regardless, it is not "Harris County" that approves booking a show, it is Sports Corp. And it is not
"Harris County" that approves a floor plan, it is Inspector Williams. This is the process that took place for
Astroworld 2021 and it functioned more or less the same as it did for Astroworld 2019 and Astroworld 2018. I
believe Williams approved each of those site plans as well.
Lastly, on capacity, the 45,000 number in that email was probably based on the approved capacity of 50,000 from
the 2019 show. The scanner records from Friday November 5, 2021 indicate that ~38,000 concert goers went
through the scanners with their wrist band tickets. I know media has reported on a crowd of 50,000 at the event,
but that is inaccurate. Is it possible that some of the hooligans that knocked down the magnetometers in the
green lot did not have tickets? Sure. We have absolutely no way to evaluate that question. But you have guys
have watched the video and may have estimates for how many people you think were involved in that bout of
criminal activity."
On January 13, 2023, M. Barrow and I went to NRG Park to interview Mark Miller. He was accompanied by
attorneys Peter Tipps and Brett Young. Refer to M. Barrow's Supplement for the interview synopsis.
On February 23, 2023, I submitted a GJS to ASM Global for all of their discovery records. On February 24, 2023,
Brett Young contacted me and we discussed the subpoena on the phone. He stated he wants to speak with
Prosecutors to get what they want exactly. He also asked if we could narrow the request in order to produce the
documents. He stated he will work on it either way and to let him know. I scheduled a phone meeting for February
27, 2023 with A.D.A. Michelle Wilhelm

B.) Interactions with Resource Event Group
After attempts to reach out to Eric Rodriguez and Kathryn Paraskevas for phone numbers that I found on Clear, I
was contacted by Attorney Justin Ratley of Munsch. He stated he is their attorneys. I introduced myself and
explained why I was reaching out (because they are editors / drafters for the CAD drawings. I requested the DWG
files. Mr. Ratley stated he would work on getting me the DWG files. He requested me to stop reaching out to
Kathryn Paraskevas and Eric Rodriguez going forward. I set a meeting for November 17, 2022 at 1500 hours at
1200 Travis to discuss their client's involvement. On November 15, 2022, I submitted a GJS to Mr. Ratley for
Resource.
On November 17, 2022, M. Barrow, Attorney Justin Ratley, Lt. S. Hope, A.D.A. M. Wilhelm, Brandon Karr of
Pearland PD and I met at 1200 Travis. We asked Mr. Ratley some questions about Re:Source's involvement.
Officer Karr shared some discrepancies we found with the CAD that were submitted (measurements, site not
being built accordingly, etc.) Mr. Ratley stated he would get back to his clients and reach out. He never reached
back out to us as to what his clients had to say.
On January 7, 2023, I requested a Zoom interview with Kathryn Paraskevas through Attorney Justin Ratley. He
stated she is not interested in providing a statement at this time.
Julie McClintock sent the following message to me on February 6, 2023:

On February 23, 2023, I responded that I received the USB drive to Julie McClintock. The USB also came with a
BRA that will be attached to the case file. A.D.A. M. Wilhelm stated she would check if the BRA is sufficient per
apellate. Refer to M. Barrow's Supplement for documentation of Resource returns.

I have been in talks with Knute Brye's Attorney Charles Flood. On February 24, 2023, I was contacted by Attorney
Charles Flood. He stated he is getting the documents ready to send over. He stated if anything is redacted and
we feel as though we need it, he will work on getting the document un-redacted. He stated that is how the

On November 1, 2022 I had reached out to Milestone Mobile. I learned of Milestone Mobile due to file
UC_300002.
On November 2, 2022, I was contacted by Josh Sweeny of Tech Support. He stated if I get access to the site, I
check the time stamped logs under:
Audit log under / server log / rule trigger log / system log.
He stated whoever controls the app has access to the management server. He stated if I want to see who logged
into the App and when, I need to request the audit logs. He stated Unified Command would be in possession of
those logs.
This is what I received from Attorney Joe Bailey pertaining to my request:
[01/20/23]
"1.Milestone Mobile. It is an app that anyone can download. A person with the app must enter a passcode to
watch whatever is being broadcast through the app. Milestone Mobile does not record or allow storage. It is just
an "opening" to view.
UC did not send the passcodes out to just anyone. We are not sure who was on the list. It may have been
produced previously, but UC is trying to determine that. Anyone without the proper passcode, the video would not
"line up" correctly and would be difficult, may impossible to watch.
Having a police officer receiving a passcode to view on the app would not be surprising."

Braady Hass Interview
December 6, 2022
Braady Hass contacted me back. I introduced myself to Mr. Braady Haass. I explained why I was reaching out. I
asked if he would be willing to talk about the investigation. He stated he would be willing to talk. I told him that I
contacted ANC. He stated he left ANC after July 1, 2022. He stated he now works for FUSE.
I told Haass that I had messages that he was involved with. I told him that the messages talk about the issues with
the cameras and setting up cameras in the pit. I asked if he knew what I was talking about. He stated a little bit,
yeah. I began talking about messages between he and Matt Doirion. I mentioned the movie bird crane and
different cameras. I asked if he could provide some context.
Mr. Haass stated there was an Apple stream that came up two and a half weeks before the festival. He stated he
was invited by Brent Silberstein to talk over and become involved. He stated he was on a call with Brent
Silberstein and a female from Black Widow Group. He stated one of the issues brought up was the crane camera.
He stated they wanted to set up the crane camera to the side / front of house. He stated they tried to work on
placement on the call. He stated his advice was to cut the camera because it was going to be very cramped in that
space anyway.
He stated one of his worries was how would security get around. He stated did not know how people would get
around the crane and camera guys. He stated the way the barricades were set up and the space that was in
there. He stated he told them the crane was not a good idea. He stated he was thinking more about movement
and not so much safety. He stated the people working in that area would be stuck. He stated he the Cactus Jack
people were the people that were demanding that this camera happened. He stated the people that were doing
the Apple stream. He stated he does not have their e-mails anymore.
He stated they made it adamant and imperative that they needed the cameras for the live stream. He stated he
got COVID so he was unable to be at the festival. He stated he was unlucky that he got COVID but lucky that he
did not have to deal with the "shit show" setting everything up because it was way to late in the game to make
everything happen, in his opinion. He stated there were creative minds in Apple that wanted to add cables in
different areas. He stated it was problematic.
I asked what his background is.
Braady Haass stated his company provides camera to events. He stated he got involved in this case more on the
Live nation side. He stated he works with ACL and lollapalooza. He stated he brings in LED Screens and camera
packages. He stated he worked with Brent Silberstein in March Madness. He stated he was going to work with
Brent Silberstein again this year. He stated he works on the cameras and tries to make sure everyone gets what
they need from a footage standpoint.
I thanked Braady Haass for his perspective. He stated the biggest thing was the timing. He stated they usually
pop up 30-45 days out, not a week before. He stated there was the entire Cactus Jack side that said they had to
make it happen. He stated they were running out of time and that was the problem. I asked about message. He
stated the messages were not about safety issues. He stated safety is above his paygrade. He stated he is not a
risk management guy. He stated he is looking at the logistics in operating the cameras. He stated you cannot put
camera guys in the crowd because they will get mauled and knocked over from people that are dancing. He
stated the cameraman are focused on shooting the stage and not their surroundings.
I asked if he was speaking to Fire Marshalls directly. He stated he believes it got it from the festival himself. He
stated they were worried about the barricades themselves. He stated it did not seem like there was enough space
with the cameras and for security to move between the camera positions. I told him that Emily Ockenden was
warning about the same thing. He stated that is correct. I asked if he has seen the footage himself. He stated he
has not. He stated he does not know how they fit the cameras in. He stated he does not know the final changes
they made when the festival went live. He stated Emily Ockenden was the female he was referring to for BWG. He
stated Emily Ockenden was in agreement with him.
He stated Travis Scott and the Apple team were the same in providing pushback on cutting cameras. I asked if he
remembers any safety concerns coming up. He stated he did not. He stated he heard some rumors but was not a

part of those conversations. He stated he was never contacted by anyone about safety issues. He stated he
would have taken care of it. He stated he prioritizes safety. He stated people in the festival industry take for
granted that their safety is already accounted for. I asked if he worked the previous Astroworlds. He stated he
had. He stated they were a lot smaller and not nearly as complicated as this one.
I thanked Mr. Haass for calling back and talking with me. He stated he was not on site and knows that he did not
do anything wrong. He stated that he will be able to talk to us in the future if we need another statement. He
stated he did not separate from ANC from Astroworld. He stated he already had the idea that he was going to
separate from that company beforehand. He stated Astroworld would have been one of his last projects with ANC.
I asked if it is common to get pushback from Artists. He stated it is usually in smaller portions. He stated it might
be behind stage. I asked if he believed the layout of the venue was standard. He stated it was not standard and
there are pinch points. He stated it has been done though. He stated he has seen it but does not remember
examples. He stated he does not know whether or not they made actions to make that safe. He stated there is
usually a straight line from the media section down to stage with cameras.
I asked what about Travis only playing on Stage one. He stated that is kind of typical with a headliner. His
experience is the second stage will go dark when the headliner is on. I asked if he knows anything about the count
down clock for the festival. He stated he does not. I told him I appreciated his time talking to me.

H.) Interactions with Lyons and Simmons Firm
On February 9, 2023, M. Barrow and I met with A.D.A. M. Levine, A.D.A. M. Wilhelm, and A.D.A. J. Leitner at the
Lyons and Simmons Law Firm in Dallas, Texas after being requested to meet by Attorney Michael Lyons. The firm
made sure we received everything we needed after the discovery evidence was handed over. The firm offered
assistance to get files in discovery authenticated. They asked for any BWC footage for officers that assisted in the
deaths of their client or the medical tent. They requested fox footage and officers statements. We told the Mr.
Lyons we would ask our superiors but we believe all that information is confidential while the criminal investigation
is ongoing.
I.) Interactions with Scott Davidson (Code 4)
(I think this is an appropriate place to insert this comment. The reason M. Barrow and I decided to reach out to
Scott Davidson and other security directors that fall within a similar (if not the same) scope of duties as Seyth
Boardman, can bring about comparative context to their roles for a festival. We believe understanding the
perceived norm of an occupation such as safety director is important to understand the role's expectations.
Though the title of the job may have different variations: Security Director vs Public Safety Director, we are
investigating whether the responsibilities are aligned regardless. This idea was ignited when we spoke to Attorney
Andrew Lourie who stated Seyth Boardman was merely a safety consultant for Astroworld 2021.)
On January 27, 2023, I went onto Code 4's website and reached out to
<mailto: and requested to speak with Scott Davidson. In the evening, I was contacted by
Scott Davidson (( ) He stated he would like a grand jury subpoena if his statement is required. I told
him that would not be a problem. On February 7, 2023, I sent a GJS to Scott Davidson after it was drafted by
A.D.A. M. Wilhelm. Scott Davidson agreed to be interviewed at Code 4's office on February 10, 2023. Scott
Davidson stated he has been retained by Live Nation as an expert witness in his field and to investigate what
occurred at Astroworld 2021. I relayed this information over to the Harris County D.A.'s Office and my lieutenant. It
was decided that we are open to hear whatever Scott Davidson is willing to mention and talk about pertaining to
Astroworld 2021.
On February 10, 2023, M. Barrow and I met with Scott Davidson of Code 4. A colleague of Code 4 was also a part
of the meeting named Sage Allen.

Scott Davidson stated he was unsure if he wanted to be recorded. He stated he wants to help with the
investigation as much as he can but he would like to express himself freely and be comfortable in the interview. I
asked him if he would be willing to come before a Grand Jury to provide a statement and/or testify in a criminal
procedure if need be. Mr. Davidson stated he would testify. M. Barrow and I then began the interview without
recording.
Background / History Information / Astroworld 2018
Scott Davidson stated he has been in the business for years. He stated he used to want to go into law
enforcement. He stated he got hurt down by the border after doing some work and fell into the security business.
When we asked if what he thinks of the Safety Alliance, he stated they are good people. He stated Adeleman is
an attorney and plays more of a speaker role. He stated they are important advocates but not an expert witness to
the field.
Scott Davidson stated he was approached by Sascha of Scoremore to work Astroworld 2018. He stated
Scoremore was a client of theirs and worked with them often for multiple events. I asked what Davidson's role for
festivals is. He stated Code 4 is to prioritize locating risks and mitigate those risks the best they can. He stated for
example, in 2018, there was a big gang war in Houston. He stated he made a request to have 18 wheelers parked
on the perimeter of the festival on Main St to provide additional cover and for safety for patrons/personnel at the
festival.
I asked his experience with Astroworld 2018. He stated everything was going smoothly weeks before the festival.
He stated days before the festival were a different story. He stated Travis Scott would use social media to send
out information that would cause stress and anxiety. He stated for example, Travis Scott posted about getting to
the festival early before it opened. He stated they did not want a large group of people coming early before the
festival opened because it could cause risk of losing a smooth opening. He stated it was as though Travis Scott
took the role as "Publisher of Announcements" and people did not tend to intervene to stop Travis. Davidson
stated people tended to enable Travis to do everything he wanted.
Davidson stated another frustrating thing he had to deal with was NRG (ASM / SMG). He stated they wanted to be
the facilitator between them and the Houston Police Department. He stated instead of him just going directly to
the police officer he needed to speak to discuss "X", he would have to go through NRG, set up a meeting, and
finally discuss what was needed. He stated it was an unnecessary process that delayed planning stages.
I asked if there were major change days before the festival. He stated there were changes but he would have to
look them up. He stated he does not think there were any major changes. M. Barrow asked who did he deal with
for Astroworld 2018 that might have been involved with 2021. He stated he dealt with Emily Ockenden, Brent
Silberstein, Sascha, Lucas, Jeff Gaines, John Junnell and Brad Wavra.
We told Scott Davidson that we have not been able to get a hold of Emily Ockenden and so we would like his
opinion of her. Davidson stated she has a background in Hip Hop and was a site manager in 2018. He stated she
was safety consciousness and got Code 4 whatever they needed, above and beyond for Astroworld 2018. He
stated Rolling Loud was hers. She stated Rolling Loud is a good Astroworld comparison. He stated she is kind
and easy to work with. He stated she is smart and might be a little emotional (see below Statement Pertaining to
Astroworld 2021 for further context of this statement). He stated she was concerned of safety and worked well. He
stated her team was abnormally responsive to their requests.
Scott Davidson stated the worst part of Astroworld 2018 was dealing with CSC security. He stated Code 4 had
plainclothes security people testing security parameters. He stated they would pass through gates to get inside
and were not stopped. He stated they would buy tickets at a cheaper price, etc. He stated they had to get NRG
involved because CSC was not providing adequate security. He stated NRG had to get APEX involved. He stated

Narrative
HPD was not responsible for them wanting APEX. He stated the fact that Code 4 was doing proactive "stings"
security measures rather than reactive shows how smoothly the day was going from a security standpoint. He
stated it got busy towards the end of the night in dealing with artists behind stage.
Davidson stated he worked with HPD Gangs and HPD CID in intel and safety. He stated he had a great
experience with HPD in that regard. He stated at one point he had to kick out an HPD sergeant in the command
post over a disagreement. He stated he cannot remember what the issues was.
Davidson stated he took an active role with the CAD drawings and monitored changes. He stated Astroworld 2018
also had a "mixture of AB programming" which is utilizing two stages and that is very important for a festival. He
stated he believed there were approximately 35,000 attendees.
He stated he dealt with Cpt. Bonnie Rictor who was a Special Events Coordinator for HFD.
I asked about the cameras for Astroworld 2018. He stated if he remembered correctly, Brent Silberstein would
decide where the cameras would go and they would have to be approved by Jeff Gaines. He stated "approval"
could come in various forms. He stated they could make on the spot decisions at the festival or it could come
weeks in advance. Davidson stated approval could be verbal, text, and/or e-mail.
Scott Davidson stated he was a part of the Governor's Task Force. He stated he believes it was noneffective.
Also mentioned had to send a cease and desist letter to Rob Weekes for utilizing their EOP in the Astroworld
2019 Festival.
After Astroworld 2018
After Astroworld 2018, Code 4 continued to work with Scoremore. Scott Davidson stated Live Nation bought out
Scoremore and were leaning on Sascha for profit for the company. He stated that led to budget cuts. He stated
Code 4 had to cancel Jambalaya Austin due to a storm which caused contentions between he and Sascha. He
stated Code 4 backed out of Neon Desert due to budget cuts. He stated Sascha requests they cut security by
50%. He stated that does not only cut out Code 4 but also cuts out PD and EMS. He stated Sascha was running
into problems making shows profitable.
Davidson stated he reached out to John Junnel as he believed that would solve the issue since Junnel was with
Live Nation. He stated John Junnel contacted Sascha which upset Sascha because Davidson had gone behind
his back. He stated there was another event where Davidson canceled an event due to budget cuts thinking John
Junnel would back him. He stated Junnel contacted him and the conversation did not go well and Junnel did not
react the way he'd expect him to. He stated they then cut ties with Scoremore and have not worked with them
sense. He stated they were set to work Astroworld 2019 but pulled out the summer before when they cut ties.
Davidson's Involvement with Astroworld 2021
Davidson was approached three times for Astroworld 2021 in different capacities. First, he was contacted by
Monty Northern (see below) days before Astroworld 2021. He was contacted us (HPD Detectives) to comment on
experience and Astroworld 2021. Scott Davidson stated he was contacted by Live Nation days after Astroworld
2021. Davidson stated days after, he was contacted by a Live Nation attorney. He stated they wanted him to
review what occurred at Astroworld 2021. He stated this excited him. He stated Live Nation provided him with
e-mails of execs, plans, documents, texts, etc. He stated he believed he was going to do something good and
provide Live Nation with a product that they would be able to implement via standards nationwide.
He stated as he went through the documents, he was confused why Live Nation would provide all of the
documentation because some of it pointed the finger at Live Nation for some fault. He stated he believes John
Junnel is the most culpable in the investigation (based on what he knows) per the e-mails. He stated the fact that
Carol Haave is giving him warning signs and he just appeared to ignore it. He stated it also seems apparent
Junnel played a very little role on the ground at the festival as well.
He stated Live Nation has never reached out to him about his findings. He stated he reached out to them and they
told him that they would not fund this projected because they do not have the finances. Davidson stated that
discouraged him and he believes Live Nation no longer wishes to set a new safety standard. He stated he does

not know why.
Statement Pertaining to Astroworld 2021
Scott Davidson stated days before Astroworld 2021 took place, he was contacted by Monty Northern of HCEC. He
stated Monty was concerned that an MCI Plan had not been set in place for Astroworld 2021. He stated he told
Monty that he needs to reach out to the festival and voice his concern. He stated he remembered the weekend
before Astroworld 2021, he was worried about the safety of the festival and asked his team to keep their thoughts
of Astroworld 2021 in mind.
He stated Unified Command is a confusing company name as it may become interchanged with the command
post. He stated their role in a festival is often overlapped by security companies. He stated Code 4 has access
Davidson stated the entry way of the festival does not make sense and is inconsistent about how he would want it.
He stated it goes against International Fire Code. Davidson mentioned this a few times in the meeting. He stated
social media may have played a role in the havoc at the entry point as part of hype.
(As a quick side note, Scott Davidson and Sage Allen went onto speak about International Fire Code and how
slow the process is to adopt. He stated Fire Code that the City of Houston has adopted is different form the Fire
Code Harris County has adopted. He stated the City of Houston's adoption of Fire Code is a 2015 Fire Code and
Harris County's adopted Fire Code is a 2018 Fire Code. Allen stated it is important to note that they have added
addendum since the adoption to those plans however. He stated it is different in Austin as well. He stated Austin
has adopted a Fire Code that says 7 people per square foot is adequate. Each time a security company enters a
venue space, they have to look up the Fire Code for that space. Davidson stated over the occupancy limit cannot
be fixed once it has reached that point. He stated you must put things in order to prevent getting to that limit
beforehand.)
Davidson and Allen stated Astroworld 2021 CAD map is an International Fire Code nightmare. He stated just the
entry gate alone is in violation. Davidson went on to explain entry and exits from festival to the free world cannot
be interfered with for a certain distance. He stated the fact that going through main entry gate (east of Lantern
Point and south of Murworth) funneling towards a central intersection where Lantern and Murworth meet is in itself
a Fire Code violation. He stated that is just one of many examples. He stated it would be extremely confusing if
the Houston Fire Department did not take interest in capacity issues with Fire Code. He stated he has worked with
multiple Fire Marshalls and they have always kept capacity in mind. He stated the Fire Department should also
be taking an active role in the command post. He stated that he saw on the news that HFD stated they heard the
calls for help on the radio and responded. He stated that made no sense to him and he wondered why HFD was
not a part of the festival to begin with.
Furthermore, on capacity issues, Sage Allen stated he had mapped out the viewing potential for the Stage at
Stage 1. He stated it is approximately 30,000. Davidson stated when the show on Stage 1 takes place, people are
going to move until they are in a position where they can hear and see the performance. He stated that is why
there were earlier CAD drawings of speakers in the center of the crowd in Quadrant 3 and Quadrant 4. He stated
those speakers are utilized to push sound towards the back of the audience which will assist in keeping people
from pushing forward. He stated it would have possibly been helpful to have Stage 1 streamed at Stage 2. He also
stated it did not make sense to only keep Stage 1 for Travis Scott.
(Statement about Emily Ockenden Continued) M. Barrow and I asked about the Astroworld 2021 EOP. We asked
about the section with shutting down the show. He stated he does not understand why Emily Ockenden is listed
there. He stated she does not have training or experience to shut down shows. He stated Site Managers are not
responsible to shut down shows. He stated her role would be to respond to the command post and/or listen to
what security tells her to do. He stated she appears to be an emotional person and would not need to be handed
that responsibility.
We asked about Brent Silberstein. He stated Brent Silberstein would make sure the EOP was followed and would
assist the security director in stopping a show. He stated Silberstein would be able to shut down the show but we
have to look at Silberstein's mindset further. He stated at the time of the festival, Brent Silberstein is dealing with
remarkable requests, stress, anxiety, trying to lean on different people for help, etc. He stated that can be seen in
his texts / e-mail. He stated that it would not be right to put the decision to shutdown the show on Brent
/CATEN, J M 06/29/2023 11:29 Page 30 of 42

Narrative
Silberstein. Davidson stated the fact to put shutting down the show on anyone else but security is not right
because people have put emotion, finances, and time into these events. He stated their opinion may not be
objective so security does not give them that chance to make that particular call.
Scott Davidson stated Seyth Boardman is appropriate to list as responsible to shutdown the show. He stated if
Seyth decided to stop the show, he should not be looking for Brent for authority. He stated he has never worked
with Seyth. He stated he was at an event Seyth was in charge of with Sage Allen. He stated Allen asked for
Davidson to step out of the trailer to witness what was occurring at one of Seyth's shows and he could not believe
what he saw. He stated he took pictures of it. Sage Allen stated he worked with Seyth Boardman at one event.
Davidson and Allen stated they believe Seyth's role is best suited to manage a security company via logistics and
not emergency management. Davidson stated unfortunately, there is now law in place to pull someone's license to
keep them from continuing on in working events. He stated credibility is based on experience and who you know
in this industry. I mentioned there have been statements that Seyth's role is as a security consultant. That he is
merely to advise safety precaution and thoughts but if overruled, then that is what happens. Davidson and Allen
stated they disagree that this would be the case for Seyth and that Seyth Boardman is more than a consultant. He
stated he believes Seyth Boardman had a duty to stop the show and that he should have played an active role at
the stage to ensure the show was stopped. He stated he should have been in a position to delegate orders out to
the people under him. He stated everything should have been coming form the Command Post.
(Another Side Note: M. Barrow showed Davidson footage from the Unified Command Video which Davidson
stated he had from Live Nation. He and Sage Allen watched the Unified Command Video that pans over the
crowd at approximately 09:00 PM. He stated unfortunately, what he is watching appears to be "normal". He stated
he would need further context to see if it was alarming. He stated if he thought it was alarming, he would send
someone to check it out. He stated you can get a sense of how a crowd is based on their eyes, actions, and
smells. He stated it is hard to see on the ground level what is going on the crowd which is the reason for the
command post. We asked theoretically, if a person of authority would receive a message that something was
going on in the crowd, and they merely responded to the area and did nothing further, would that be sufficient.
Davidson stated that depends. He stated there is not enough context and it appears based on the evidence that
the entire festival was doomed from the start with the previous planning. He stated it is too difficult to pin the
actions on a individual just before the concert or after the concert started because there were so many issues
beforehand. He stated the entire festival is like watching a fuse light going towards a bomb. He stated Travis
Scott's performance was that bomb and there were many warning signs before it exploded. He stated the giant
clock is just another example of that. He stated the clock is ticking down, causing people to push and go wild for it
to start.)
Davidson's Standard of Procedure
Davidson stated he would submit security plans weeks before the festival. He stated their company would also
disseminate cheat sheets to help entities navigate procedures should something arise. I asked how they deal with
entities that have not taken the time to memorize or fully understand an EOP. He stated they have Code 4 Staff
that understand their EOP completely that assist if need be. He stated they train people on these plans.
He stated typically, the stage crew and engineers around the stage know the procedures of the EOP as well. He
stated the artist is not expected to know all of the EOP nor is his team. He stated security will ask the artist to do
something and if the artist refuses, then security will do what needs to be done.
M. Barrow and I asked about how Code 4 hires security companies. He stated venue stadiums often have
contracts for their security companies and often opt to use those companies. He stated there are situations where
they need to outsource some local security companies to bring in people. He stated that is usually done by word
of mouth or research. He stated the main security company for an event should be doing research into the
security company they recommend. He stated the companies are vetted and are researched. He stated looking
for a security license would fall under that vetting process.
We asked about security companies stating their employees are "ushers". He stated in his experience, that does
not make sense. He stated ushers are for indoor events and even then, the entity that owns the arena will often
put their employees into that role and not hire outside to be an usher. He stated there is a loophole where
companies will use shirts that say "Event Staff" on them, and they may act in a security type role. He stated he
/CATEN, J M 06/29/2023 11:29 Page 31 of 42
Suppl No
1490724-21 0082
Narrative
has never heard of a security company hiring off Facebook posts. He stated typically, a security company will
send out advertisement to recruit people weeks before an event. He stated he has been to events where people
are dressed in security shirts and appear questionable as though they were just hired off the street but nothing
egregious.
As for stopping shows, Scott Davidson stated they have a procedure. He stated they are able to mute the mic of
the artist or will deal with management of the artist to get the artist to send out a message. He stated it determines
based on the artist. He stated their company utilizes "Voice of God". He stated it is a pre-recorded statement that
is put on the screens and come out of the audio. He stated it will send out a message based on the situation. He
stated they had them for Astroworld 2018 (which he played some of the recordings for us).
Davidson stated they have used scissor lifts in the past for PD. He stated they have also used crowd monitors
who are trained in seeing issues in the crowd. I asked if people climbing towers and/or equipment would the show
have been stopped and he stated yes. He stated Insomniac has stopped shows for people merely climbing trees.
I asked about alcohol sells being stopped at 09:00 PM and he stated that sounded odd and he has not
experienced that.
Davidson's Follow Up
On February 16, 2023, I reached out to Davidson after interviewing Rob Paine the night before. I asked him if it
was common for entities such as Apple to hire their own security. He stated based on the documentation that he
has seen with Live Nation, he stated he believes the contract was violated by Boardman bringing in Valleje. He
stated it would definitely be violated if Apple brought in a rogue entity such as SIS. He stated typically, someone
such as merch would ask for a security post to be sitting by the money or someone would ask for security to
protect a certain asset. He stated they would make this request well before the festival so they could allocate
resources. He stated his speculation is Apple was brought on so late in the game, they were unable to make
security requests. He stated he bets Apple was told they would not be able to get the security requests they
wanted so they hired outside (SIS). He stated he thought it would be odd that Apple would request security to add
safety to cameramen. He stated it does not appear to him that the security did a good job with what he has seen
in the media barricade evidence provided by Live Nation.
J.) Interactions with Boardman's Attorneys
On November 3, 2023, M. Barrow and I spoke with Andrew Lourie and Nicholas Ickovic. I had the feeling that
Andrew Lourie was asking certain questions to see if we would come forward with the information and/or see if he
wanted to continue the conversation in a direction to discuss his client's involvement. The text below is what came
from Andrew Lourie and is not my opinion or my facts.
He began talking about the issues with the Unified Command Cameras. For approximately 30 minutes, he stated
the footage is the same type of footage and Reece Wheeler did not complain earlier. He stated at 08:58 PM, the
cameras follow Kylie Jenner instead of focusing on the crowd. He stated that shows that the crowd is not a bigger
issue.
Lourie provided that Seyth from 09:00 PM to 09:45 PM, he is in the barricaded for the entire show before the show
began. He is stage left. Brent Silberstein stated the stage at right is broken.
Seyth responds to broken barricade. He brought Satterwhite there at approximately 08:55 PM. Seyth had tape
markings marking on the barricade to assist in monitoring the straps for efficiency. Seyth showed Chief
Satterwhite this.
Silberstein, Seyth, and Satterwhite are all in the same area. Lourie stated this shows further that nothing is wrong
in the area (I saw this as a defense statement for Shawna Boardman). The barricade was fixed and did not fail.
Seyth continued to monitor the barricades. Seyth saw someone receiving CPR and that triggers the show
stoppage. Andrew Lourie stated Shawna has a ground perspective and everyone on the ground cannot see the
issues going on because of the ground level.
Shortly before the show, Brad Wavra tells Seyth about seeing people crashing into the area at stage left. Shawna
/CATEN, J M 06/29/2023 11:29 Page 32 of 42

Narrative
was dealing with that area.
Travis Scott wanted the General Admission area open and to not have VIP. Seyth tells Wavra not to open it to
General Admission. Lourie stated they did it anyway. Seyth fixed the area by using bike racks.
Attorney Andrew Lourie went on to say Shawna and AJ Melino are working on the area. Seyth, nor Shawna recall
seeing Brad Wavra in the area for the remainder of the show.
Seyth thinks he saw Wavra in the back around 09:45 PM.
Seyth and Shawna saw Brad Wavra outside the medical tent later.
Attorney Andrew Lourie stated Seyth and Shawna are sent there to provide advice. That sets the platform for
Seyth's role. Similar to a layer and a client.
Seyth and his team are tasked with executing the job not getting what they wanted. Seyth hired more security for
this festival than other festivals.
Shawna and Seyth stated they did not see Silberstein in the barricade for the remainder of the show. Shawna
declined to respond to Kara Dyson's request because she feels as though she needs to be in the barricade.
Seyth and Shawna did not witness people climbing cranes or media towers.
They did not see people appearing to ask for help.
Andrew Lourie went on to talk about a VIP Breach. Said Shawna and Seyth were aware of it. Heard talks of it over
the radios. Seyth was with Chief Satterwhite when it occurred. Seyth says it is an "acute episode". A minor rush
and more security dispatched to the area.
Hardin and Satterwhite discuss if the show should be shut down. Seyth texts Emily that PD discuss shutting down
the show. Emily says they need to.
Seyth took Chief Finner to Travis Scott later in the day. People have the same information Seyth and Shawna
have. They went on with the flow. This is an illustration of their role for the festival. The tragedy would have been
worse without Seyth and Shawna.
There were stakeholders meetings. Brent Silberstein headed and guided the meetings. The stadiums invite the
stakeholders for the meetings. Seyth spoke at the meetings.
Saldivar, Sauer, Skillern were indited to those meetings.
There were three all Agency meetings in June, September, and October.
Meetings with just Stadium Houston, and Seyth in early November. Two public safety walk through. There are
e-mail logs for the invites. Michael McCall sends out the invites.
Actual attendees is a larger group of people.
Jeff Gains is included in final walk through. Gregory Creeks from HFD is in the final walk through.
Seyth is not a co-founder of B3.
Seyth used Insomniac e-mail platform only as convenience. He would use different e-mails.
Andrew Lourie went on to talk about pointing to unforeseeable. Medical emergencies are not foreseeable. Allex
Pollack says its ridiculous that crowd crush could have occurred. People are being pricked for the fentanyl.
[End of Notes]
On February 6, 2023, I was contacted by Andrew Lourie, Nicholas Ickovic, and Karima Maloney. They wanted an
update on the case and wanted to see if there are any new questions pertaining to their clients. They requested a
list what we would like authenticated. I told them I would work on a new set of questions and get the files we want
authenticated over to them.

Bebhinn Gleeson
I began by asking Bebhinn Gleeson her role and how she became involved. She stated she has been with Apple
for thirteen years. She stated before that she worked for a concert promoter. She stated her background is in the
entertainment space. She stated Astroworld 2021 was an opportunity that was brought to her by Travis Scott's
team. She stated he was one of the biggest names on their platform. She stated it was a great cultural opportunity
for Apple Music to have him perform with them. I asked if she has worked previous Astroworlds and she stated
she has not.
I asked what time did Mrs. Gleeson get to site. She stated she got there in the late afternoon on Friday. She
stated when she got there, she was picked up by production and was sent to the Apple production compound.
She stated the facility was on the exterior of the festival grounds. She stated she was adjacent to the fire lane
behind the stage. She stated she spent her time there. She stated after dinner, she went to the bathroom. She
stated she went near merch after that. She stated she was never near the performance space.
I asked Bebhinn Gleeson to describe her experience before Travis Scott took the stage. She stated her team was
there when she got on ground, and everything was in good shape. She stated they are aligned with the creative
vision of the artist. She stated the artist came to the production compound before the show. She stated he
reviewed all of the camera positions. She stated they were good with everything. She stated they were in a
waiting period before he got on stage. She stated they spent approximately 30 minutes with the artist (Travis
Scott) in the truck. She stated before the dinner break, they spent time with him. She stated it could be around
04:00 PM - 06:00 PM.
Behbinn Gleeson stated she was not involved outside of their compound in the festival. I asked if Anthony
Mandler was in their compound. She stated he was in their broadcast truck. She stated Rob Paine was their
production lead. She stated Anthony Mandler was their creative from a director perspective. She stated Lee
Lodge and Mike Carson was a creative. She stated Rob Paine's team, she does not have their names. She stated
they would have an audio and technical team. She stated there were approximately 20 people in the broadcast
truck.
I asked what were they doing before Travis Scott took the stage. She stated they were waiting for the show to
start inside the truck. She stated they would have been provided with a setlist and the camera people would in
their positions. She stated when the broadcast opened on the platform, the singular director begins calling the
shots. She stated the shots that the director chooses are sent out via broadcast. She stated her role is to make
sure the team has what they need to do their jobs and to give any specific creative feedback that may or may not
come up.
I asked what was her experience like when the concert started. She stated they are in a broadcast truck where
you're not experience the concert. She stated they are shooting the stage. She stated everyone felt great and
were excited to see the stage come to life when the concert began. She stated it was the first time they saw all the
lighting and stage come to life. She stated Travis did not have a practice run so it was the first time to see
everything. She stated it looked great on the screen for broadcast.
I asked Mrs. Gleeson when the first time was, she knew something was going wrong at the concert. She stated
the exact time is not clear to her. She stated it was a period between her hearing the communications and they
were being told of a show stop, it all happened very fast. She stated the outcome was very tragic and she was
upset afterwards. She stated they started to hear from Rob Paine and members of his team that there was a

medical emergency. She stated it was unclear. She stated they could not see a medical emergency. She stated
she could not recall the exact time. She state Rob Paine and his team were trying to understand what was going
on. She stated they worked with Live Nation. She stated if there was a show stop, their broadcast would go to a
"technical card". She stated it would say there were technical difficulties, etc. She stated there are multiple
scenarios.
She stated eventually she was told there was going to be a show stop. She stated she was told the next track was
her last track. She stated they were told everyone was to shelter in place. She stated that was the instruction she
was given. I asked Bebhinn to circle back to her statement earlier where she stated she heard communications. I
asked what kind of communications. She stated Rob Paine made it aware that he was hearing from camera
operators that there were difficulties in the crowd. She stated he and his team was trying to find out what that was.
She stated it is not unusually that there are medical emergencies at events like this. She stated they were trying to
understand what the emergency was so they would proceed with how to handle it. She stated she does not have
specific details. She stated she was focused on what was the facts and what were the event controllers finding
out. She stated honestly, they were never given those facts. She stated that is not unusual. She stated it was not
their event. She stated it would be up to the fire officer, the police, the festival promoter. She stated they will not
share openly what the issues are. She stated they wait on direction from them. She stated if there is a show stop,
that means there is something very serious. She stated they did not share what that issue would be.
I asked if she was equipped with a radio or headset during the show. She stated she was not given a radio
because the people she needed to talk to were near her. She stated she does not know what kind of
communication the camera operators were using. She stated Rob was using his phone to communicate with Live
Nation. She stated it would not be appropriate for them to have actual coms channels. She stated those channels
were confidential.
I asked who was the Live Nation contact Rob Paine was talking to. She stated she does not know. She stated it
was Rob's on the ground contact. She stated Live Nation would have supplied Rob with a coordinator. She stated
they would coordinator the amenities they needed for the festival. I asked if she observed anyone leaving the
trailer to go help. She stated she knows that a number of Rob's team members wanted to try to check on the
camera operators. She stated she left the truck several times to make phone calls. She stated she exited the truck
to talk to Rob to discuss what they should do. She stated there was no other place to go. She stated her
credentials would not allow her to get into other compounds. She stated they would not have needed access to
other locations. She stated the cell phone communication was limited. She stated they were trying to see if they
needed to do a technical card.
I asked if she knew if anyone had notified police of something going on. She stated she does not remember that
specific communication. She stated there were police everywhere. She stated from a professional perspective,
she thinks the police, health, fire, safety, and medical are all in communication with each other.
I referenced a text message where Bebhinn can be seen saying that a poor operator was screaming for help. I
asked if she actually heard that. Tyrell interjected and asked if we provided a number for that file. He stated he
knows that we provided 5 and made sure Gleeson had copies of those. He stated he does not recall that specific
one. Tyrell told her to hold off until I could find the text. Mr. Tyrell stated normally when you ask about a particular
document, the person would want it front of them as would their lawyer. I said I could go back to that one and just
go through the ones that I have marked. Mr. Tyrell stated that would be good.
I asked about APL_AST 4092 which is a conversation about bringing SIS in. Tyrell interjected by stating that is
another file that they do not have in front of them. He stated he does not mean to be difficult. He stated he does
not know how well Bebhinn will be able to answer without the document being in front of her. He stated she can
answer if she wants to. Bebhinn Gleeson stated she can answer it. She stated it is not unusual at all that they
want to request to bring extra personnel to protect their cameraman and equipment. She stated the extra
personnel are there to have the cameraman to do their jobs and focus on their jobs. She stated the cameramen
are there trying to focus on the creative vision.
I asked about APL_AST 6414. The file is an e-mail where Bebhinn appears to be concerned about cameras being
in the crowd. Tyrell interjected and stated they do not have that one. He stated if Bebhinn can answer in general

terms, she can. Bebhinn Gleeson stated she could. She stated it does not have anything to do with security. She
stated she is not a security expert. She stated there was a creative vision that Travis had. She stated they were
only willing to do part of that vision. She stated he had a vision to put cameras in the mosh pits. She stated it was
not something she felt they needed from a creative perspective or something that she wanted to get involved in.
She stated they were focused on creating a live representation of their show. She stated she was happy for what
they had and did not think they needed to add additional cameras for the creative vision. She stated it had nothing
to do with security.
I asked what liability is she referring to in the message. She stated the liability was Travis' team. She stated she
does not want to take on Travis's teams. She stated they were going to be there whether she was there or not.
She stated that is the team they were referring to. She stated those camera feeds were going to be happening to
be regardless they were there or not.
I asked what is the lower third. She stated it can something that blocks part of the screen during the broadcast.
I asked if she is watching the cameras and the show while she is in the camera during the show. She stated she is
mainly watching the center camera as it is the visual being sent out for the broadcast. She stated it is like
watching multiple TV screens. She stated she is watching the camera that the director is calling out because that
is the live feed. She stated she is checking different screens but mainly focuses on whatever camera is being
broadcast.
I told Gleeson there is a text message between her and Rachel Newman where she stated the crowd is crazy. I
asked what did she mean for that. Mr. Tyrell asked if there a number if the lower corner. I told him 5306. He stated
again, that is not a file they have handy. Bebhinn Gleeson asked if she should answer. Mr. Tyrell told her yes, if
she can recall. He stated told her not to guess or speculate. Bebhinn Gleeson stated she does not remember that
specific moment. She stated she has seen that text message recently so she believes she can answer. She
stated she believes that was in and around the time that they were hearing there were some issues. She stated
they did not know directly from event control what was going on. She stated she believes she was referencing
that. She stated it was a busy, live, audience. She stated it was not an audience she had not seen before. She
stated there are certain types of artists that have crowds like that. She stated they are there to behave in a certain
way. She stated she believes that is what she was reference but is not sure the wider context of that chain.
I referenced Apple File 5307. I mentioned how she said their cameras are being pushed around. I asked if she
knew the context behind that message. Bebhinn Gleeson stated she does not remember specifically. She stated
she believe that would be information Rob Paine had given her. She stated that would have been around the time
they were getting information about that (the message was at 09:35 PM). She stated she did not know what the
issue was but the camera operators were dealing with movement. She stated she believes Rob would have given
her that information.
I referenced File 5309 where she says "I think we can get through it" at 10:00 PM. I asked what does she mean
by that. She stated she does not recall exactly from that context. She stated what was happening in that
timeframe when they were hearing there was a medical emergency, she is trying to get information and get the
facts. She stated they were waiting on that to decide if they needed to go to a technical call. She stated their role
was so removed from the event itself or what was going on at the event. She stated they were trying to
understand what was going on. She stated they would not be wanting to broadcast anything. She stated she
would have stopped the broadcast immediately had they know. She stated she did not know if they were to keep
going or if they needed to go to a technical card. She stated they were not getting any facts so they continued with
the broadcast.
She stated they were told at the end that there was a show stop. She stated they were told that it was the last
song, and the show would be over. Mr. Tyrell stated to stop the broadcast does not stop the show. He stated to be
clear, one does not necessarily lead to the other. He stated he believes it is important to note. Gleeson stated
absolutely. She stated every show should have multiple show stop scenarios. She stated they would not be privy
to those details. She stated show stop information is generally not widely known how it is to be executed. She
stated it is confidential and controlled. She stated that is her personal / professional experience. She stated
stopping a show is controlled by the event. She stated stopping the broadcast is completely irrelevant to stop the

show. She stated stopping the broadcast would not affect the people within the festival.
Mrs. Gleeson went on to say a show stop is part of the procedure. She stated as a broadcast partner, you would
tell them they are stopping a show. She stated to stop a show if there is something major going on or something
had happened.
She stated they did not tell them why they were stopping the show but just that the show was being stopped. M.
Barrow asked if he could chime in. He asked if she has ever had a situation where she worked a show where a
show was stopped. She stated she has not. She stated she has experienced where the artist may pause the
show. She stated she has never had to pause a broadcast or end a broadcast.
M. Barrow referred back to the creative vision statement. He confirmed that Travis wanted his team to be in the
crowds and that Apple did not support that idea. Gleeson stated that is correct. M. Barrow asked if there any
concerns for Apple in which they were worried about the following Travis Scott may bring to a venue. Bebhinn
Gleeson stated there was never a concern about the crowds. She stated there were multiple concerns about
clarity on the creative vision. She stated it is not her event. She stated there not were not concerns for the crowd
but how to execute the creative vision. M. Barrow what parts did they disagree for the creative vision. She stated it
was not a disagreement. She stated they would connect on plans and move forward. She stated artists can be
challenging. She stated she stated sometimes you have to tell artists take it or leave it. She stated sometimes
when you do that, everyone follows.
M. Barrow stated it would appear that on October 27th, there was a meeting that Bebhinn had. He asked if she
remembered that meeting specifically. Gleeson stated there were so many meetings that she does not remember
that one specifically. M. Barrow stated he only brought that one up because there was a lot of chatter for
misalignments. He stated it appeared after the meeting, it appeared everyone left the meeting frustrated. M.
Barrow asked if there was any point that they decided their might not be a partnership with the festival. Gleeson
stated they did not have a partnership with the festival. She stated she engaged in a broadcast with the headline
performance. She stated she does not know the context he is referencing. She stated there was a lot of creative
frustrations. She stated she felt as though they got into a better place. She stated Travis agreed to do a simpler
broadcast.
I interjected and stated I would like to wrap up the day of before continuing the conversations for the planning
phases. I read file 5309, 5310, 5241, 5240, 5311, 5312, 5313. I told her the way the conversations appear in the
documents as Apple is doing the live stream, I do not know if pulling the live stream would cost anyone money. I
told it looked as though they were trying to just get through it and finish what they were hired to do rather than pull
it. I told Gleeson that is where I am coming from. I asked if there is any truth to that. Mr. Tyrell stated Bebhinn can
answer. He stated Apple stated she already explained, they were not running the show. He stated even if they
had stopped streaming it is not as though it would have stopped the show. He stated he is not sure what I am
saying.
Bebhinn stated she can add some context if helpful. She stated they did not know what was happening and they
did not have any concrete information. She stated they are trying to find out. She stated they were told the show
was going to stop and the broadcast was going to end. She stated up to that point, it was not clear as to what was
going on. She stated they knew there was a medical emergency but no clarity to the severity or loss of life. She
stated she did not know if it was fire or a bomb threat. She stated it was not their role at the project. She stated as
a standard, as a production team, which was not them, you would have a plan to respond to emergencies. She
stated you would not have sign off without having plans. She stated they did not know how until they got back to
their hotel as to what had happened.
She stated you have to also remember in the situation that you are trying to stay calm and try to understand what
was going on. She stated they were receiving little information in a compound outside of the festival grounds. She
stated she has to say there was no financial gain to do a project like this. She stated to keep it off or keep it down.
She stated it did not matter. She stated they did not make any decision to keep the livestream going for financial
reasons. She stated they do not think like that. She stated that is the last thing in anyone's mind to keep things
going to do their jobs. She stated all they are thinking about was there was an issue and what that issue that is.
She stated they were waiting for direction from the festival. She stated that is what she was thinking in her mind.
She stated what happened was horrific. She stated this is not a situation that any of them had thought this was

happened.
Gleeson stated she feels lucky that she works in a place that no one would have cared if she turned the stream
off. She stated it would have been of no consequence. She stated if they knew what the outcome would have
been in that moment. She stated that would have been the last thing they were worried about.
I asked about Camera 6 and how it captured CPRs with personnel going in and out. I asked if she knows anyone
that would have been able to see that or who was operating camera 6. She stated she did not know which camera
operator was on camera 6. She stated she does not what they were seeing. I asked if she saw anyone receiving
CPR from the cameras. She stated no. She stated you would not have been able to. She stated that is not what
they are focusing on. She stated they are focusing on the stage. She stated you cannot see that. I asked if Barrow
has anything to talk about before I go to the planning stages.
M. Barrow asked if she knew anyone who would have been watching CPRs going on with the cameras. She
stated she really does not think so. She stated she would have to go back and look specifically. She stated she
does not remember what Camera 6 was doing. She stated they cameras were not watching the crowds. She
stated she does not know if that is the camera that alerted Rob that there was a medical emergency. She stated
she could not imagine the CPR going on was clear.
Bebhinn Gleeson stated she does not understand why if there were people receiving medical treatment, why it did
not go straight to an action plan. M. Barrow stated there was a lot of communication breakdowns across the
board. M. Barrow asked where Bebhinn was sitting in relation with Tore. She the broadcast truck is like a large
RV. She stated there were two rows. She stated Tore was in front row. She stated Lee Lodge, Anthony Mandler,
Mike Carson were in the second row. She stated she was standing at the back of the truck. M. Barrow asked if
Tore ever made any statements about what he was hearing from the camera crews. She stated she does not
recall specifically. She stated it was really Rob that she was talking to. She stated it all feels as though everything
happened within a minute. She stated the truck is usually a calm environment because you are removed from the
event. She stated she does not recall that specifically. She stated she does not know who told Rob Paine. She
stated she does not remember that specifically and it is not clear to her. She stated the following days and weeks,
it was not a good time. She stated it was very upsetting. She stated it is hard to piece that together clearly.
M. Barrow exited the call because he had in-service class.
I referenced file 5334 where Bebhinn stated the cameraman was screaming. She stated she remembers that text
because it came up in the deposition a week before this interview. She stated she remembered writing that text.
She stated the days after the festival was emotional and there was a lack of sleep. She stated her memory
became hazy when it came to what she saw/heard and what others saw/heard. She stated she did not know until
the next morning that there was a loss of life. She thinks that camera operator was not one of their operators.
She stated it was horrific. She stated she was in complete shock that weekend. She stated the only reason why
she remembers that message is because they brought that up in the deposition. She stated she sent that text the
next day.
I asked Bebhinn Gleeson about 4879 where she says the production company must jump ship to Rachel
Newman. She sated that text chain came up in the deposition. She stated that was in relation to when Travis
originally brought the project to them, they wanted to partner the Safty brothers. She stated they did a call with
them. She stated they were directors. She stated it was a ridiculous call creatively. She stated they had no
business being approached for a job like this. She stated Travis decided to not work with them. She stated that
was in reference to the meeting with the Safty brothers. She stated that plan never got off the ground.
I asked about 2217. Mr. Tyrell stated she does not want her to speculate what Chris Choun was saying. She
stated she does not know what specifically what that communication was. She stated she believes he was talking
about Tyler Ross's team. She stated they were going to be there anyway. She stated they did not want to be a
part of that team. She stated their camera operators were in protected platforms. She stated Tyler was going to be
in the mosh pits. She stated she does not want that footage anyway because it looked awful. She stated she did
not think they needed it. She stated they believed Travis was going to do that anyway.
I asked about file 4908. I asked about her having personnel pulling out due to safety concerns. She stated she

believes it might have been in relation to the Saftys. She stated they had an idea to shoot the show through
Travis's eyes. She stated focusing cameras on the structure. She stated they safety there had nothing to do with
the safety of the crowd. She stated she thinks Rob Paine's would hand from the structure. She stated she believes
that is what the conversation was reference to. She stated the rigging from the stage would not have gotten
approved in time. She stated she believes it was in conversation to rigging cameras from the stage. She stated
she believes the rigging company came back stating they would not be able to do that. I referenced file 2240 and
4910 where Bebhinn says they can only do what is safe.
I said the final file I had was 5047 where I believe she was talking about where she stated David had no idea with
their festival and that they needed to lead it now. I asked what did she mean by that. She stated to be completely
honest, she was frustrated with them trying to throw in new ideas at the end. She stated there was a lot of creative
frustration. She stated it gets to a point that there is what is possible and what is real. She stated she does not
know what she was specifically referring to there but it was probably about them coming up with last minute ideas
that would not get approved. She stated it was frustration. She stated they would end the day thinking they had all
agreed on a plan then there was a last minute change. She stated if they ended up not doing the livestream, it
would have been fine.
She stated they were just there as the broadcast partner. She stated she knew what was possible and what was
not. She stated it was not possible to do anything wildly creative. She stated everything that they wanted to do
had to be signed off by the city, fire, and Live Nation. I mentioned 2299 about them needing to contract. She
stated she is not sure about that text message. I said if she is not sure about it, we can ask the attorneys. Mr.
Tyrell stated we can do that and they will come back to us on that question because they do not have it handy.
I brought up 2200 and realized it was Choun and Paine, not Bebhinn. I thanked them for their time. I told them that
we are investigating the planning stages for this festival. I told them we see a lot of issues in the planning stages
within the entities. I provided some context as to why we were reaching out and that we are not blaming Gleeson
for the deaths. I terminated the recording.

L.) Interaction with SIU

On January 10, 2023, I sent file SMG-000021135 to Lt. L. Menendez. It contained the following inquiry:
Jack Hanagriff ( <mailto: )
To Kyle Carkhuff, David Sauer, Ryan Boros, Tony Weldon
Subject: Additional Access for Travis Scott
11/03/21 1616 Hours
"Hi Kyle,
Lt. Sauer (copied) is requesting additional video access on-site at the Travis Scott Event. My understanding is
they want to add another PC/Workstation in another position to leverage camera feeds. They have the PC and will
provide Internet at the new location.
Can Tony have permission to coordinate with NRG on understanding the need and execute the work if a solution
can be provided?
Thanks

M.) Interactions with Carol Haave
M. Barrow and I found communications involving Carol Haave. We decided it was necessary to interview her. Her
role for the 2021 Festival is she is the Global Director of Security for Live Nation. Her attorney is Johnny Sutton.
After some time going back and forth with Mr. Sutton, a Zoom interview is currently set for March 13, 2023 (or
around that date). Attorney Johnny Sutton requested a few topics of discussion in advance. I sent the follow on
January 21, 2023 to Mr. Sutton:
Topics of Discussion
January 21, 2023
Carol Haave Interview Broad Topics
1.) Her background, job description, experience, and role in festivals.
2.) Comparing Astroworld 2021 planning to other types of festivals.
Carol Haave Interview Specifics
1.) E-mails of social media posts where Carol gets onto David Stromberg to speak with Travis as they could
create a security risk.
2.) Concerns for stage transition from Stage 2 to Stage 1 (ex. Pinch Points are mentioned).
3.) She is concerned about the term "rage" and how it can be misconstrued for safe crowd.
4.) Text messages of concerns and voicemail for events during the Travis Scott show.
N.) Interactions with HFD
Refer to M. Barrow Supplement #80 when we interviewed Xavier Williams over the phone. ON December 6, 2022,
M. Barrow, A.D.A. M. Wilhelm, HFD Chief Creeks and HFD Xavier Williams met at the Fire Marshall building near
Dart St.
When we interviewed him, Chief Creeks stated they looked into the violation if anyone would change a plan or not
follow a plan according to CAD. He stated it would be a citation.
HFD Williams stated they require permits for pyro, gas, and tents. He stated any tent over 1200 square feet
requires a permit. He stated producers and promoters are in control of setup and crowd crush prevention. He
stated occupancy load is for the footprint. I asked if he takes his plans to the site and makes sure the plans are
followed according to the approved plan. He stated they do not. He stated he would not be able to recognize
minor changes from the maps to the setup.
On a different date, I reached out to Xavier Williams after I noticed Mario Carter being mentioned and involved
with a few e-mails. I asked if he was involved with Astroworld. Mr. Williams stated he will e-mail Carter as a
courtesy incase he is needed. He stated they sometimes need to work along with Mario Carter if they have a
stage that contains a lot of people (50+ people on a stage).
O.) Interactions with CoH Habitability
On January 6, 2023, I reached out to Mario Carter and left a voicemail. I spoke with Mario Carter. He stated their
office had nothing to do with Astroworld 2021. He stated he was included on some e-mails and once he saw their
office was not needed, he was not a part of further conversations.
P.) Interactions with HCDAO
Harris County District Attorney's Office (HCDAO)
As M. Barrow and I continue to work the case, we reach out to HCDAO for advice or assistance with the case. We
have made certain requests such as they deal with civil attorneys or are at least present with us to particular civil
meetings. They continue to work on GJS and warrants for our case. When we have received documents via

follows:
Detective J. Caten / M. Barrow take custody of drives or USB ---> A.D.A. Michelle Wilhelm ---> HCDAO IT
Department Personnel Juan De Anda and Kevin Sowell ---> A.D.A. Michelle Wilhelm ---> Detective J. Caten / M.
Barrow. This is so HCDAO has the files downloaded into their system.
The drives will ultimately be downloaded into another system (currently believed to be a cloud system). The drives
will likely be tagged into HPD Evidence Property Room or kept with the case file.
Q.) Interactions with Rob Paine
M. Barrow and I interviewed Rob Paine a second time. Refer to M. Barrow's Supplement for that interview
synopsis. Of that interview, we learned of a security company called SIS.

Austin, Tx. 78727
10.) Data Duplication Request:
As the case continues to grow and we continue to gather data, I was concerned about preserving the data and
wanted it all in one place (as it is scattered out through multiple drives and one main drive). I reached out to Lt. S.
Hope of HPD Homicide. He stated we would transfer all data to a new cloud server the department will be
receiving in a few months so we will hold off until then.

Interview with Mark Miller
*************************
On January 13, 2023, we met with Mark Miller of NRG. We wanted to follow up with him regarding his role in the
planning phases of Astroworld and whatever concerns if any he had leading up to that event. He was
accompanied by his counsel, Brett Young and Peter Tipps. The following is a summary of our interview with Mark
Miller:
Mark Miller stated that he is the General Manager of NRG Park. He stated that he has been with NRG for 22
years and he is involved with every major event that is held at the park. When it comes to event planning, he
stated that his role is mostly administrative. He stated that he is not involved with the details of every event except
for aiding when it is needed on the more administrative matters.

Narrative
Previous Astroworlds
Mark described his level of involvement with the previous Astroworld. He recalled working with the other entities in
working out the spacing in the parking lots and how to work the entry points. He recalled discussions about
camping (which was not allowed), and security along the perimeter, and general events that would be taking place
within the park.
He stated that his focus was more on the perimeter of the event and ensuring that the event and those in
attendance did not interfere with other portions of the park. As for the flow of people within the event, that was not
his area of responsibility. His focus on that was the general logistics of ensuring that people flowed in and out of
the venue correctly.
Astroworld 2021
Mark stated that his role for Astroworld 2021 was like that of the previous one. He stated that there was the NFL
schedule conflict and ensuring that they could run a "clean" event so that they could be ready for the next event or
game.
In terms of the planning, he stated that conversations started about doing Astroworld at NRG again in November
2020. He stated that there was some hesitation from himself and the NRG staff on whether or not they wanted to
host the event again based on their previous experience with it. He stated that in 2019, 40 people were sent to the
hospital, with 20 of those coming from the entry incident and the others from during the shows (including
substance use). He stated he was not happy with that experience, and it was a concern going into the next event.
I asked him what kind of things the event organizers said or do this time around to avoid some of the problems
that they had previously. He stated that they worked well together on getting the main entry gates set up. For
example, he stated that 2019 entry gates were too narrow but for 2021 they were able to spread them out across
the green lot to relieve some of the pressure at the entry. He stated they also worked a lot on placement of
security along the perimeter. He stated that they added a lot more gates to facilitate the entry of people from the
green lot to the yellow lot where the event was to be held.
I asked him who from the event organizers would be his primary point of contact. He stated that he mostly was in
contact with his people within NRG who were in communication with organizer. But the ones he would interact
with the most was Brent, Seyth, and Emily.
Concerns Leading up the Concert
He stated one of concerns that had before the concert was medical. He stated that HCEC had given notice that
they were leaving the business and they would not have enough personnel to work Astroworld. This led to Live
Nation or Scoremore providing their own Medical to work the event (Paradocs). He stated that overall staffing was
a concern. Following COVID-19, general staffing levels were low. He stated that had they not been able to get the
staffing levels that they needed, he would have recommended that the show be cancelled. In that regard, the
stated that he had discussions with production telling them that they would provide some of the staffing but if they
could not come up with the rest of what they needed then they would have issues.
Stage Transition
He stated members of the production crew (Brent, Seyth, and Emily) brought up the concern regarding the
transition from stage 2 to stage 1. He stated that it was expressed to him that Travis was insisting on being the
only performer on stage 1. That gave rise to the concern that when the final show ended at stage 2, there would
be issues with people leaving stage 2 and going to stage 1. He stated that the concern was centered on safety.
He stated that he could not decern from the maps or anything regarding the issue, rather he relied on what they
were telling him as they were the experts.
I asked him if this issue/concern was ever resolved. He stated that he had a meeting with Jeff and Brad Wavra
telling them that he was going to have the event shut down if they could not solve this issue. He stated that he did
not want to allow them to run an event that it was unsafe. He stated they left the meeting and started working a
way to solve the problem.
He stated that they worked with Carol Haave of Live Nation to re-work the site plan, re-positioned some items,
install extra exit gates, and set up "weak talent" to close out stage 2 before the headliner at stage 1. As far as he

knew, these adjustments worked and the issue of a stampede from stage 2 to stage 1 never took place.
Once it appeared that this issue was resolved, he stated that it was not brought up to him again. He stated that
there were other meetings with HPD and others where it may have been discussed in more detail, but he was not
a part of those meeting.
I asked him if they had any plans to route the attendees to certain area of the crowd during the transition from
stages. He stated that he recalled the festival moving some rides to other areas, but that was as much as was
discussed with him.
His Location on 11/05
He stated that he was out on the grounds in the morning but returned to his office in the afternoon. During the
Travis Scott concert he stated he was at Gate 10, watching all the buildings and ensuring that people were not
getting into any of the other facilities.
I mentioned to him how we understood there was a lot of delays in the building schedule of the main stage and
barricades. He stated that a lot of that had to do with the rain they had that week.
In terms of meeting with other personnel or entities, he stated he did not meet with Travis or members of his team.
He stated that he attended some of the conference call meetings with production but not the security/safety
meetings.

Interview with Candice Holloway
********************************
On 1/28/2023, I reached out to the phone number I was provided for Candice Holloway. Her name was listed on
some to of the documentation related to Astroworld Security and B3 Risk Solutions. Her name was featured on
the 24/7 ICS log that was utilized in the Festival Command Post. Her name has not been mentioned in other
interviews with witnesses leaving us feeling uncertain as to whether she was present. Once I contacted Candice,
she confirmed that she was willing to provide a statement over the phone which I recorded. She stated that this
was the first time that anyone has reached out to her since the incident. She stated that the events that occurred
that night have been on her mind ever since in occurred. The following is a summary/key points of our phone
interview with Candice Holloway:
Background
Candice stated that she resides in Arkansas. She stated her career started out as a make up artist for live
entertainment, but she showed promise on the security front and was hired by Live Nation. She stated she worked
with Live Nation for nine years but when COVID-19 hit she did not have any jobs to work. She started working for
as a Dispatcher for the local police department. Once the entertainment industry started picking up again, she was
reached out to one of her former contacts to come work for them as dispatcher at festivals and events. She
worked for a company called Axis which is also where she met Reece Wheeler and others. She described those
that work festivals and events as a tight knit community, and everyone seems to know each other and what skills
they bring. She described them bringing on former Navy Seals, Special Operations, and Police Officers to work
with them on the ground for some events.
She stated that prior to the Astroworld Festival, she had just worked nine other Hip-Hop and Rap style events,
both indoor and outdoor, in Atlanta. She stated that she was used to those types of events and in those instances,
she did a lot of work in the field rather than in the control room.
I asked her about her experience with hip-hop and rap shows in terms of the crowd and environment. She stated
that she is very experienced due to her exposure to those types of shows. She stated that she has seen the crowd
movements, crowd waves, and the jumping from balconies. In short, she stated she has seen some of the worst
and some of the best shows from that genre, but none of them were like Astroworld in terms of the set up of
barricades in her opinion.
Hired to Work Astroworld
She stated that she was reached out to by Seyth and Shawna of B3 Risk Solutions (she could not remember their
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:30 Page 3 of 9
Suppl No
1490724-21 0084
Narrative
last names). She stated that she was hired along with Reece Wheeler following a word-of-mouth recommendation
from their contacts with Axis. She stated that she normally works alongside Reece in the same capacity as a
dispatcher, but they would alternate shifts or take turns. For Astroworld, she could not remember if Reece was still
in the room with her or not.
She stated that she arrived in Houston a day or two before the festival. She stated that she was not involved with
the planning process. In terms of what she was told about the festival going into it, she stated that it was nothing
different than what she has seen before at other Hip-Hop/Rap concerts. She was hired to work in the capacity of a
dispatcher and to always remain in the control room. This, she stated was difficult for her since she is CPR
certified and comfortable doing work in the field.
Further describing what she did at Astroworld since I pointed out there were multiple dispatchers there, she stated
that she was to watch the cameras and communicate with the Security Supervisors in the field.
The Gate Rushes
She stated that she was familiar with attendees breaking down or rushing through the gates. She stated that years
ago she was the security manager of an event in Atlanta where a gate rush occurred. In that situation she
stopped operations and moved everyone back to the other side of the fence so that they could get their tickets
re-counted. This was done so that they could have an accurate count of how many people were there and to
eliminate unauthorized entry/security risks.
She thought that those running Astroworld would do something like she would have done but instead that did not
happen, and people were just allowed inside. When she saw that she felt that it was a problem. She stated that
she regretted not voicing her concern to the group about how this was a problem. She was worried that the gate
rushing and the lack of an accurate count of people would lead to capacity issues at the venue.
Ultimately, she stated that the gate rush occurrence did not surprise her because it has happened at other shows.
She only wanted to point out that it should have been handled differently and that they had the manpower to act
but for some reason chose not to.
The Setup of the Venue
She stated that before the festival began, she walked the venue including the stage area. She stated that in all her
time working with Live Nation and other larger events there was always room for the crowd to "flex" when the
pressure was building up within the barricade. She stated that she did not see that "flex" ability at Astroworld.
She described the area in front of the sound mixer (also the Front of House) as having a "hook" in front of it which
prevented the attendees to "flex" out of the barricade or rather just get pushed out of the barricade all together.
She stated that area would later become the area where people died.
She further described that even in times were there was room to "flex", people could still get trampled or hurt but
at least there would be room enough to relieve some of the pressure. At this event that did not appear to be the
case, at least on the side that she observed in which the sound mix/front of house was enclosed. She stated again
that she was not familiar seeing that type of set up.
She stated that she has conducted some additional research after the event because the issue caused her
trauma. She stated that people could not get in or out and people could not pull them out sufficiently to relieve the
pressure. If only they had room to flex would there have been some additional space for crowd movement. She
believed the ensuing problems and the deaths had a lot to do with the barricade issue.
Inside the Festival Command Post
She stated that she was seated at the very front of the room, nearest to the screens displaying the cameras. She
stated that the "newer people" were placed towards the front and the older people or those that had worked
together previously got to sit towards the back.
Observations Before Show Start
I described to her what we could see on the security camera footage at about 8:30 PM before the show was set to
start at 9:00 PM. I described how the crowd waves could be seen and how the crowd "liquified" and moved
involuntarily together as a mass. I asked if she recalled seeing some of that taking place on the camera feed. She
stated that she did see all of that, but she regrettably stayed silent. She stated she felt like she had to keep her
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:30 Page 4 of 9

Narrative
mouth shut since she was the new person there and she recalled thinking to herself maybe the others (security
personnel/managers) knew what they were doing because she had never seen anything like that before. She
stated that the other dispatchers were busy on the radio handling it. She felt inclined to leave the room and go
help but she knew that she was supposed to stay at her post.
She described the "torn" feelings of those that were working security in the barricade. She stated they had to
make the decision at times on whether to pull someone out because oftentimes there were those who wanted out
to try to get to the main stage. Once it was apparent that this was an emergency, the security inside the barricade
were pulling as many out as they could but by that time it was already too late.
I asked her if she saw anyone pulled over the barricade appearing to be unconscious before the show started.
She stated that she did see that and claimed that someone was already receiving CPR. Again, she stated that it
was not uncommon to see people get pulled out. In this event and in past one she noted that people could have
been standing there for a very long time without water or resources and become exhausted.
Talks of Cancelling or Stopping the Show
I asked her if she heard talks throughout the day about cancelling or stopping the show. She stated that she was
aware that discussions about stopping were being had, but she was not a part of those talks. She stated that her
opinion did not matter with this group since she was the new person there.
I asked her directly if she knew about a text message that was sent out regarding stopping the show. She stated
that she could not verify it but she knew there were rumors of that happening and those rumors and discussions
were occurring in real-time while the show was going on. She recalled hearing others in the trailer talking amongst
themselves about whether they should end the show.
She stated that she remembered Matt Eyer who was the head dispatcher for security. She also remembered
Reece Wheeler and she stated that she was there to switch with him because they were on different shifts. She
stated Reece remained there for some reason even though he could have left once she got there. She could not
confirm if she was hearing the discussions about stopping the show from Reece and Matt specifically, but she
could confirm that those discussions were had amongst those in the room.
I asked her if she knew when it was officially decided that the show was going to be stopped. She stated that she
did not know an exact time, but she believed that the decision was made sometime before Drake took the stage.
She also felt that Seyth and Shawna were on their own and they were just trying to do the best with what they
had. She understood that they had run a lot of successful shows in the past and this one was very tough.
Descriptions of What was Occurring During the Show
She described working in the control room at Astroworld (what we refer to as the Festival Command Post). She
stated there were at least six others in there with her that she could remember. She recalled seeing six or seven
kids getting worked on pulled out of the crowd that would all end up passing away. Meanwhile she recalled the six
of them in the control room talking amongst themselves wondering when the concert was going to end but
instead it continued and continued to get worse. She stated that this was traumatic experience for her, and it was
difficult for her to talk about.
She recalled at one point, she and others in the control room noticed at least two people down on just one camera
frame. She stated this was especially concerning because if that was just one frame, they had to ask themselves
what was going on in all the other frames? This led to them feeling anxious about what was going on during the
concert.
She stated that it was not uncommon to see CPR taking place at a show. She stated that there were a lot of
overdoses and other factors that led to that in some of the other events that she worked. But this case was
different because it was clear to her that those kids were not overdosed. They were struggling to breathe.
She stated that kids were coming over the barricade themselves trying to escape while security was pulling
people out as well. She stated that things amplified when Drake took the stage and the problems seemed to get
worse.
She also noted that time when the ambulance cart got stuck in the crowd and there were kids jumping on top of it.

1490724-21 0084
Narrative
She stated that there was a female who was coding on that ambulance, but they could not get her out of there
because of the kids jumping on the ambulance. She described some of the kids that attended this concert as
"behaviorally challenged" by they way they were acting.
Again, she stated that she was familiar with the culture associated with these rap concerts and she was fluent with
that world and felt in most cases respected at those events. She stated that this event was a nightmare from the
beginning and the kids there lacked respect for everyone.
During all the time the show was running, she had her headset on, but the airwaves were completely clogged with
numerous people talking. She stated that she never made any communications herself because it was already so
busy. Instead, she focused her attention to the camera feeds to find out what was going on.
ICS Log
She confirmed that she was granted access to the ICS log that was being used by those in the festival command
post. She did not believe that she logged very much in there herself. I turned her attention to a post that was
made in the log describing people getting crushed, pulled out, and unconscious. She stated that she recalled
seeing that post in the ICS log.
Festival Management and Organizers
She stated that she did not see anyone from festival management during the show. She stated that she did not
see them in the aftermath either. She described how it made her upset when no one, even her friends and
contacts in the industry reached out to her after working such a hard show. She felt like she has been ostracized
from the industry and has not been hired to work any events since that time. At the same time, she noticed that
those from B3 have still been working and even hiring some of her friends to work with them at other events.
I asked her if she was ever advised on how an evacuation would have taken place or what a show stoppage
would have looked like for this show should that decision need to me made. She stated that she was never
advised of either of those things. She stated that her own experience with the evacuation procedure entailed
management taking over the microphone and providing the audience with verbal instructions. She also stated that
show stop, and evacuation procedure is supposed to be practiced with the artist but as far as she was aware, that
did not occur with Travis Scott at Astroworld.
In her experience with Live Nation, she stated there normally would be a guy standing by a switch monitoring the
show for any problems. Should an emergency or problem arrive, that person would flip the switch and initiate the
evacuation or show stop procedure. Again, she was not sure who that was supposed to be for Astroworld.
I asked her if she was provided an EOP for this show to review. She stated she may have received one but did
not recall reviewing it.

Second Interview with Rob Paine
*******************************
During our review of documents, we have found multiple instances where there appeared be concerns about
liability or health and safety. Some of these discussions were had amongst Apple employees or individuals hired
under Apple for this event such as Rob Paine. We reached out to Apple attorneys to schedule an interview with
Rob Paine in order so that he could provide context and commentary to some of the matters discussed in these
internal messages. For example, we wanted to discuss:
Apple 4852
Chris Choun - Are they bringing their own production company and we're just taking their feed?
Bebhinn Gleeson - No idea
Chris Choun - If they want to layer on these character camera ops, we need them to bring their people . I don't'
think Rob will be comfortable from a health & safety pov.

Chris Choun - Rob is getting concerned about liability.
The interview was held via Zoom on February 15, 2023. Those present for the interview included attorneys: Steve
Tyrell, Michelle Fox, Terry Smith, Erin Joy, Scott Murray. The following is a summary of our interview with Rob
Paine:
I opened the conversation by stating in general where we were in our investigation. I asked him if he remembered
when Apple was brought on as the streaming service for Astroworld 2021. He stated that he did not remember for
Apple, but he was brought on approximately three weeks before the show.
I asked him to describe again his role for the festival. He stated that Event Vision is a production services
company. Event vision is there to execute the creative outline that is formed by production, in this case Apple. His
company oversaw things like camera set up, hiring the crew, and budgeting.
He stated that for things like camera set up and placement was a team effort. They worked with the promotors and
the concert production team and worked out where those cameras can actually be.
I asked him if there was any disagreement or controversy regarding where the cameras could be placed. He
stated that he has worked in the industry for thirty years and there is almost always something that the creative
team wants that cannot always be executed, and Astroworld was no exception. They would ask for specific
positions and the event staff would come back and say what they could and couldn't do. Once an agreement was
established between the parties regarding placement, then the event staff would take it to their security and the
Fire Department for sign-off. He stated that he did not know who from security or the Fire Department was the
point of contact to get these items approved. He stated that they dealt mostly with the companies BWG and 1826.
He recalled dealing with Emily from BWG who was the one that stated that the positions would be sent back to the
Fire Department for approval.
Rob further described the day of the festival. He stated that the was involved with the cameraman and attending
to their needs and request. He stated that they had hired unarmed private security to staff around the camera
platforms and positions (SIS Security). He stated that this was not an uncommon practice and he asserted that it
was not unique to this show.
We asked him about liability and risk and how those terms showed up a lot over text messages and emails. He
stated that it had less to do with the safety of the show itself, and more to do with the equipment and the feasibility
to execute the creative vision coming from Travis' organization and production. Rob spoke about the Safdie
brothers were almost brought on by Travis' organization and how that created some doubts about this show
because the Safdie brothers were both expensive and there work was not known for festival/concert productions.
We asked him about the text message where it was stated that he was concerned about health and safety for his
cameramen. He stated that it was always a risk to insert cameramen into the crowd regardless of who is
performing. He stated again that the risk was also to the expensive equipment.
We reviewed Rob's actions during the concert when he was in the production trailer. His statement of those
events remained consistent with what he has stated previously. In summary: he recalled learning of distress by
/BARROW, M L 06/29/2023 11:30 Page 7 of 9

Narrative
one of the cameramen and how people were sent out there to assist. In reference to that distress, he made
contact with a police sergeant (identity still unknown) and was told by him that they would not be sending any PD
to that area where the cameraman was located. Rob stated that he did not hear other communications to
Production and was unaware of other issued until the show had concluded. He stated that he did not notice
anything on the camera footage that would cause him concern, however he was not in the Production trailer for
the whole show.
Final Observations
We requested from Rob and his Lawyers to provide a list of the camera man that were hired to work the event by
Apple and managed by Event Vision. We also requested a point of contact for the SIS Security company that was
hired. As we concluded the interview, we noted that Rob appeared distressed, especially when we were talking
about the show itself and the resulting outcome. Rob had no additional details to add to our interview.

ReSource Event Group
*********************
While going through the file titled "ReSource Event Group Documents" which was provided to us by Attorney J.
Ratley. I found a file that appeared to be a pdf copy of a handwritten letter. Based on the context of the letter, I
assume that the author is Kathryn Paraskevas, but that is undetermined and needs to be verified. ReSource
Event Group was the entity hired to draw the CAD maps for the event.
Typed/Transcribed Letter Located on:
REG Grand Jury Subpoena_000828.pdf
AW Timeline
Job: CAD operator, to draw what the client requests
August: Started to work on the project in August 2021. Regular calls were scheduled with the festival director &
site manager.
-Mid august - map started being circulated with the security/risk director
-Site manager and festival director began asking for maps with multiple stages in multiple placements. The
reasoning was the promoter of the show was requesting a stage where only the main act would perform. The
stage was only going to be used once for day one and that was for the main act. In an attempt to not have all acts
on one stage, I was directed to draw up multiple options for stages in different areas. After deliberations between
the festival director, site manager, promoter, director of security. Risk, it was decided only 2 stages would be
within the site footprint. I was not included in these conversations and only came to know just over a week later on
another screenshare call where I was directed to get rid of "SPGS" stage. This was at the end of August. At this
point we moved forward with Option B, minus the stage on the most north end of the map.
September: Production & the promoter started sharing preliminary stage drawing with the festival director directly.
They provided the festival director with some dimensions that I was instructed to reflect on the map. The stage
was a constant work in progress. The following few weeks calls were focused on populating décor/sponsorship &
ride activations on the map. Very standard stuff, moving around F &B, bathrooms, basic infrastructure.
-In mid-September, the director of risk and security had conversations with the site manager regarding opening a
walking path in the center of the site. This would open the foot traffic form stage 2 to stage 1. I never directly
spoke to the director of risk & security about this change. I was directed by the site manger to make these
changes on a screenshare call. The first correspondence I received from the director of risk & security was on
September 8th where the individual expressed their concern about a pinch point.
-Around this time is when the festival director started initiating the conversation with the director of risk 7 security
regarding the barricade.
-The additional rides were taking up a big footprint and the site manager conveyed the message to the head of
décor around this time as well. During mid-September I began asking for updated stage drawings to reflect the
footprint / layout of the catwalk in the site plan.
-In the last week of September, I started getting looped in with emails from production. These emails started
coming in multiple times week with updates regarding the stage layout. This layout wasn't completed until___

Narrative
October: In mid-October, production personnel started to join the screen share call. They provided feedback on
overall stage placement for both stages, was well as FOH & production asset placements.
Mid October: The production team was still awaiting final approval of the Travis stage.
-The production team sent regular updates of the stage and barricade layout.
-During the last week of October, the site manager & festival director had a screenshare call with another CAD
operator not associated with Resource Event Group. The site manager told me over a screen share that this
another CAD operator worked on the site plan with the festival director 7 site manager overnight to adjust the
barricade at stage 1 and 2. These were not small adjustments. At stage 2, T's were added as well as a pit for VIP.
At stage 1, the T was changed as well as the barricade at FOH overall.
End of October: (last week of the month) major changes to the stages were done. We took out some of the rides
form the area that stage 2 was i. some rides were moved to the lot with the entrance tents.
-Around this time (last week of October) I was asked to show the capacity of the stages and their respective VIP
areas. The email was sent out to the festival director, site manager, director of risk &security and had of décor the
site manage and festival director asked the director of risk/security on their thoughts of the barricade layout &
capacity, the individual never responded to the email thread.
-It wasn't until the last week of October that the barricade placement had be finalized. The original propose
placement that the production team had given the festival director and site manger they didn't like. They believed
it created too many pinch points between the run form downstage edge to FOH between the location of the
delay/video towers. They instructed me to include the 'T' shape with the barricades. Another major change during
this last week was to the entrance ingress way. I was instructed to open up a path on the north intersection of
Lantern Point & Murworth so patrons had two major points of ingress to the festival site after walking through the
entrance tents.
October 30th: The festival director and site manager flew me out for a day to assist with the marking out of the
site. During this process, measurements are taken form the DWG file form permanent landmarks like curbs or
existing structures to 'lay out' the site.
-I met with the festival director in the morning and we met with the production team. The first area we marked out
was stage 2. Ultimately it was the festival director giving the final 'okay' on its placement. By the time we finished
up at stage 2, moving to the artist area BOH stage 2, and all the rides, sponsorship, and misc. tents in the same
lot.
-After lunch we moved onto stage 1. The production team had marked this stage out the day before. I was asked
what distance I had from the downstage edge to the FOH 'T". After providing the answer, the production team was
not happy. L It was further than what they had wanted it to be. The discussions between production and the
festival director got a bit heated. No one raised their voices, but there was obvious mutual frustration. I stepped
away as there was nothing I could do or say in this moment. At the end of the day, my role was to draw as
instructed by the festival director and the site manager. As their conversation dragged on, the site manager asked
me to mark out the fence line for the artist compound behind stage one. One of the production personnel assisted
me. After finishing up the artist area, the festival director, site manager and the rest of production were looking at
the markings for FOH. They had already made their decision on this placement, I was just asked to confirm the
size of the video delays.
-The site manager and festival director went over to the entrance lot white I stayed in the lot with the main artist
compound. They left to facetime or call, I'm not sure which ended up happening. The director of risk & safety
because on that same day at 1 PM an individual on that team emailed about a potential change to the amount of
ticket scan lanes. I proceeded to mark out the artist area then moved on to the entrance lot to mark out main
merch and the resides in that lot. Prior to moving to the merch tent, the tent company met up with myself and to
production guys to mark out the catering tent and some other tents in the operations compound.
-After finishing up at the entrance lot, the site manager met with myself and the production people to mark out the
remainder of the rides in what we call lot 3. Our final place we marked out was the main VIP area east of the main
stage. After finishing this area I left for the airport.

i.) Current Case Status (*****Major Update*****)
On March 9, 2023, M. Barrow and I presented the Astroworld 2021 case in the time allotted to the Harris
County District Attorney's Office. We were accompanied by Lt. S. Hope of HPD Homicide. The meeting
included A.D.A.s J. Leitner, M. Wilhelm, and M. Levine. District Attorney Kim Ogg and approximately
twenty additional prosecutors were in attendance. We presented for approximately an hour and a half.
Deliberations continued about potential charges coming out of the incident for another hour and a half.
District Attorney Kim Ogg stated this case may be better suited to be handled on the civil side rather than
criminal as it stands with the current evidence. She advised us to continue the investigation and to wait
for the future depositions. We were then excused and the D.A.'s Office thanked us for our time.

"Gentlemen,
Jake Jurinek's father, Ron, just reached out to us because he noticed a call was recently made from Jake's
phone. He sent us the attached screenshot of his phone bill. Ron is hoping you can provide an explanation for the
1/17 call to Waukesha, WI.
Thank you. I hope you both are doing well."
March 8, 2023
0943 Hours - Sgt. K. Daignault responded to Britney R. Pennycook:
"Hello,
I would recommend for his father to call the provider and ask what SIM card number (IMSI/ICCID) and what the
IMEI number is for the phone used to make the call. It can then be compared to the actual device to see if there is
a difference. If there happens to be another SIM card out there, like one of his old ones with that number assigned
to it and it is put into any phone and a call is made, it will show on that account. Based on Det. Barrow saying the
phone is currently sealed and powered off, I don't see how that is possible from the actual phone. If they are the
same and it is possible, Det. Caten or Barrow can unseal the phone and power it on to confirm the call was not
made. I recommend starting with the provider."

"Detective Caten,
Thanks for taking the time to speak with us this afternoon regarding our client Brad Wavra and the outstanding
grand jury subpoena sent to Brad's civil counsel, Murray Fogler. As we explained, Brad Wavra is not the
custodian of the documents you are seeking; his separate production in the civil case through Mr. Fogler were
documents from the Live Nation data base of discovery. The Texas Rules of Civil Procedure apparently required
Brad to make a separate production of documents in the civil case because technically, since he has access to
the data base, he is deemed to be in possession of the documents. Everything Brad has relating to the
Astroworld festivals comes directly from his Live Nation work devices that were imaged by Live Nation. As we

mentioned, if you have any concerns about authenticating a particular document that Brad has produced to the
civil plaintiffs through counsel, we can provide a cross reference to that same document in Live Nation's
production which presumably has a business records affidavit accompanying them.
As we further discussed and agreed, counsel for Brad can "stand down" from the grand jury subpoena's
compliance date of March 27, 2023 until further notice.
Thanks for your continued courtesy,
Mac Secrest
Sincerely,"

"Gentlemen -
Hope all is well. We write regarding the grand jury subpoenas issued to Live Nation Entertainment and
Scoremore Holdings LLC on February 22, 2023 (which are attached), for which we will handle the responses.
We understood from our discussion with Det. Barrow that, in response to the subpoenas, you had wanted Live
Nation and Scoremore to provide business record affidavits ("BRA") for each of the documents they produced in
civil litigation, which have been provided to HPD by counsel for plaintiffs in that matter. On March 16, we had a
subsequent discussion with ADAs Michael Levine and Kimberly Smith in which we explained the challenges faced
in providing a BRA for the entirety of the materials produced. During that discussion, Mr. Levine indicated that
the DA's Office and HPD would confer and reach back out to us with a proposed approach for our response. As
such, for now, we are standing by and awaiting further discussion before responding to the subpoenas. We are
happy to discuss further at any time and look forward to our continued cooperation with your investigation.
Best regards,
Brian
Brian E. Kowalski"

2.) Follow up Investigation:
A.) Interactions with Brad Wavra
M. Barrow and I spoke with Attorney Ron Machen and Mac Secrest on February 28, 2023. In our discussion, we
told the attorneys that we were working on receiving a BRA for the Brad Wavra documents that were provided in
the civil litigation. We explained the files were saved as "Brad Wavra". The attorneys stated they did not know
what we were talking about and would have to inquire. I told them the documents were provided by Attorney M.
Fogler of the Fogler Brar Firm. The attorneys also asked for an update on the case. We told them that we are
learning the planning phases of the festival.
Wavra's attorneys stated there are two sides of every situation and hope that we do not believe everything the
plaintiff's attorneys are telling us. We told them that we agree and that we are reading documentation and trying to
get to the facts.
On March 24, 2023, we spoke with Wavra's attorneys again. They explained that Brad Wavra would be unable to
authenticate the documents provided. Their explanation goes into more detail below from an e-mail that was sent
/CATEN, J M 06/29/2023 11:31 Page 9 of 13
Suppl No
1490724-21 0087
Narrative
after we concluded our phone conversation. They went on to say Brad Wavra had no wrongdoing in the case. I
told them the problem is we are unable to get the context from Wavra himself. I also stated there are messages /
e-mail that potentially do not shed a positive light on Mr. Wavra. His attorneys stated it was again out of context
and we do not have the full scope. I told them we would like to have the full story from Brad Wavra himself. The
attorneys stated we have what the plaintiff's attorneys want us to have. We told them we would send them
additional questions in the future. After the phone call, Attorney Mac Secrest sent the following e-mail:
"Detective Caten,
Thanks for taking the time to speak with us this afternoon regarding our client Brad Wavra and the outstanding
grand jury subpoena sent to Brad's civil counsel, Murray Fogler. As we explained, Brad Wavra is not the
custodian of the documents you are seeking; his separate production in the civil case through Mr. Fogler were

Thanks for your continued courtesy,

Sincerely,"
B.) Interactions with John Junnel & Carol Haave
M. Barrow and I have tried multiple times to interview Carol Haave. According to her attorney, Johnny Sutton, she
has been busy with personal family matters. I submitted a list of questions we would ask Haave a few months ago
and resent it in the past few weeks. On April 10, 2023, Attorney Johnny Sutton contacted me and stated I would
likely be able to interview Carol Haave in May. He recommended I interview John Junnel in person and stated we
could set up in the interview in Houston. He asked if Attorney Brian Kowalski from Live Nation could sit in. I told
him that would not be a problem. The date we are to interview John Junnel is set for April 25, 2023. M. Barrow
has provided bates labels for Carol Haave's interview. I will ask him to sift through the files to send some for John
Junnel.
C.) Interactions with Shawna & Seyth Boardman
I spoke to Attorney Andrew Lourie the week of April 3, 2023. He stated he was just checking in to see how the
investigation was going. He stated he still would like to produce a packet and/or have the Boardmans testify for
themselves before a Grand Jury. He stated he believes there should not be any charges brought against them. I
told him to contact me in the middle of May as we plan on having this case wrapped up and sent over to the D.A.'s
Office by then. He said he would call me then.
D.) Interactions with Sascha Guttenfreund and Lucas Conder
On or about March 6, 2023, I was contacted by former prosecutor Sean Teare. I have worked with Sean Teare in
the past via trials / capital murder cases. He contacted me to say he was representing Sascha Guttenfreund and
working with Dan Cogdell. He and Attorney Dan Cogdell scheduled and rescheduled the interviews with Sascha
Guttenfreund and Lucas Conder a couple of times due to different reasons. We finally agreed upon April 18, 2023
at 0900 hours for an interview in person.
E.) Interactions with Tray Hicks
Sean Teare asked me if he could provide my contact information to Attorney Philip Brinson. I told him that would
be no issue. On March 22, 2023, I was contacted by Attorney Philip Brinson.

if his client Tray Hicks is a target in the investigation. He stated he was prepping a deposition for Tray Hicks
against the plaintiff's lawyers. I told him that Tray Hicks is not a target in the investigation at this time. Brinson
stated he would go on to have his client deposed and would provide the deposition and/or allow us to interview
him at a later date. I told him to take his time and we could reconvene in the future.
On March 31, 2023, I asked Mr. Brinson when the transcript would be available. He stated it takes about ten to
fourteen days. On April 1st, Brinson provided a copy of the rough draft transcript. I reviewed it and completed
reading it on April 6, 2023.

2.Hicks saw fans being pulled out which he waffles on being concerning v normal
3.EAP never distributed and "crises team" just words, not real implementation, as per most things involving AW
security.
4.Strange car meeting (in attachment) ~p220
5.Hicks claiming he wanted HPD to send a strong announcement (in attachment) ~ p138
6.Wavra in same area as PD and Hicks during concert. (remember he says his wife and kids see things if I recall
correctly).
7.During concert, saw Seyth, Shawna and Emily together with medical personnel, go back and forth
8.In medical tent as CPR going on- Wavra, Stallone, Hicks, Stromberg, Mike Brown, Seyth and Shawna, Brent
Pg. 138 - Nin Jackson speaks with Hicks thT PD does not want to provide a statement because that indicates the
situation is/was a crisis at the gate rushing.
Hicks is asked who took over Sascha's position if he was not there. Hicks stated he did not know
Hicks requested to see and be a part of the emergency action plan. He was not responded. He asked all of the
key players via e-mail.
He tells the attorneys he would have notified officials part of his role to security personnel.

I.) Interactions with Steve Martyniuk (Interview Disk 2A)
On March 23, 2023, I interviewed Steve Martyniuk after receiving his contact information from Attorney Steven
Tyrell of Apple. I reached out to him and left a voicemail. Steve Martyniuk called me back and I recorded the
interview. See below for interview synopsis. A copy of the recording will be attached to the case file.
March 23, 2023
Steve Martyniuk
07/06/1963
I introduced myself to Steve Martyniuk. He stated someone called him near the time that the incident happened.
He stated it was phone tag. He stated he left a detailed message on what he knew at the time on voicemail and
he was not contacted back. I provided some context and told Mr. Martyniuk why I was reaching out. Steve
Martyniuk stated his role is to deal with his camera. He stated he got there earlier in the day. He stated Greg
Hoffman was the "arm guy". He stated it was his job to control the head of the camera on the crane. He stated
there were a few camera issues but that always happens on setup. He stated approximately two to three songs
into the show, a "knuckle head" jumped up on the security fence and grabbed a control cable on the crane. He
individual pulled the control cable down. He stated Greg Hoffman had to retract the crane completely and set the
tail on the ground with the head in the air. He stated he stopped using it as a crane and used it as a fixed remote
head camera. He stated shortly after that, people starting boiling over the fence behind them. He stated they filled
in the entire area that no one was supposed to be in.
He stated after that point, there was a security guard that was pushed back where he was so he just hung out with
them. He stated the crowd appeared to be pretty calm and they were just trying to get as close to the music as
possible around him. He stated he could not see a thing from where he was sitting. He stated he did not hear
anything except from Greg. He stated Greg stated there were people getting CPR by him. He stated he asked
Greg if he was okay and Greg told him he was fine. He stated Greg stated PD and paramedics were working on
people. He stated he acknowledged. He stated no one from the trailer said anything about stopping. He stated
even if they wanted to stop the show, they had no control over the show. He stated he is not putting on the show.
He stated they were just there to help stream the festival for Apple.
I asked if he was able to review any of the footage from the concert. Steve Martyniuk stated no. He stated he does
not have access to that. He stated Apple probably has all of the footage. I told Mr. Martyniuk how the camera
would zoom in on the artist when the camera is live. I told him the camera looks at the victims that are receiving
CPR when it is not live. I told him that the camera would continuously do this. I told him that we are being told no
one knew about the CPRs except Hoffman. I asked why the camera is doing that. Steve Martyniuk stated he does
not remember doing that. He stated he probably did do that because Greg told him that was an area that
something was going on. He stated Greg did contact production and told them that something was going on. I
asked if that is something that is standard to zoom in and zoom out. Steve Martyniuk stated what goes on typically
is there are multiple cameras on a show. He stated they all have their assignments. He stated the director will
say, "ready six, take six". He stated he would line up the shot until they stop using their camera. He stated when
the shot is not on him, then they are free to look around to get ready to do another shot. He stated we are about a
year and a half out. He stated he does not remember.
Steve Martyniuk stated if his camera does that, he was probably looking for Greg and/or looking to see what was
going on. He stated he was kind of free to do that. I told him how we found it odd from our point of view as
investigators into the case and saw how this particular camera behaved. Mr. Martyniuk stated to put it into context,
think of a television truck. He stated in a television truck, there are three directors that sit on the front line. He
stated in front of them is a monitor wall. He stated it shows all the different cameras split up on small screens. He
stated they are likely 20" monitors. He stated there is also one to two larger monitors that shows the stream. He
stated his camera is a wideshot so it is typically on a bottom row in the truck. He stated wide shot angles are
placed on the bottom row of the monitor wall. He stated no one was likely paying attention to his monitor. He
stated when he was not on air, it is likely the director never saw what was going on his camera.
Steve Martyniuk stated he would provide photos of examples for inside a television truck. He stated he had a
monitor and could see what he was shooting for his camera. He stated he was about fifty feet away from the

screen. He stated he could not physically see Greg. He stated he could only talk to him over the PL system they
had. He stated he does remember having some issues for the crane to be approved. He stated eventually the
crane was approved and he was assigned to operating the crane.
I asked if it was in his experience that a crane would displace approximately five-thousand people. He stated
five-thousand people is nuts. He stated the movie bird is what they were using. He stated there are a variety of
cranes. He stated at its longest point, it extends to fifty-two feet. He stated the base is probably five feet by five
feet. He stated the tail is about nine feet. He stated it roughly needs an area of thirty feet to the left and right of it.
He stated a thirty by thirty platform is about the area that the camera would take up. He stated there were other
cameras that needed protection in the media section that took up space.
Martyniuk stated he would send me what he sent to the Apple attorneys. I thanked Mr. Martyniuk for his time and
for helping with the investigation.
(The statement is paraphrased and not verbatim, please refer to the audio recording for the complete interview.)
J.) Interactions with Plaintiff's Attorneys
I have reached out to Attorney Noah Wexler to ask the dates of depositions so that I may provide a GJS to get
copies of the transcripts. I have not heard from Mr. Wexler for some time so the week of April 3, 2023, I reached
out to Lyons and Simmons. I was contacted by Attorney Carr who stated depositions have been completed and
some are currently ongoing. He stated he would reach out when to provide a GJS to Mr. Wexler to get copies of
the transcripts.
K.) Interactions with HPD CID
M. Barrow and I have continued to work with HPD Officer for this case. M. Barrow presented a Search
Warrant for iCloud to Harris County District Judge Veronica Nelson of the 482nd. The warrant was re-signed after
discovered the warrant was missing the judge's signature on the second page. When the warrant was
re-signed, he served it to Apple. He also has attested to Apple's requirements that we are not investigating an
abortion per California State Law.
L.) Interactions with ASM Global
On April 3, 2023, Attorney Brett Young for ASM Global contacted me. He stated his firm received a lawsuit for
injuries due to a "shooting" that took place at Astroworld 2021. He called to ask if we investigated any shooting
linked to Astroworld 2021. I told him I was not aware of any shootings reported.
3.) Finishing Up External HDD - Civil Discovery:
I took some notes while I was finishing up the SM_AW files. I noted the following:
File SM_AW 1953 - Further reveals the drastic Stage 1 change on 10/17/21 to its final state.
File SM_AW 2162 - John Junell reaches out and says he wants to provide support from the Global Security side
which indicates his view / role.
File SM_AW 2189 - Has viewing area of Stage 2 for the 2018 concert. This supports Davidson's theory they knew
what viewable capacity is.

Expressive or reveling crowds are often formed due to stimuli including event activities, performed actions and
psychosocial factors.
Goal for this crowd is to stimulate the senses and prompt specific behaviors with a desired effect creating feelings
of positivity and revelry among audience members.
Participator Crowds - Marathons
Political Crowds - Casual Crowds - Thrill Seeker Crowds - All can produce positive behavior outcomes but can
evoke negative behavior if managed inappropriately.
Most Negative and damaging crowds are deviant crowds, rushing, looting, violent, explosive.
Thrill seeking profile may become more deviant due to boredom, novelty, disinhibition, stimulation, restless. They
may become more deviant due to group identity and conformity or perhaps external catalysts within the event
setting itself as performer provocation or event activities and operational circumstances.

QUESTIONS
*****Question 1 *****
"USA DIMICE AND DIM ALICED - Deviate from the original objective of the DIMICE Model - "collect,
collate, and communicate a risk assessment of a specific section of a site."
Still Mentions USA DIMICE; how does USA DIMICE differentiate from his model?
***** Question 2 *****

Manon Gibbels Essay
First article Still provided. Most disasters occur because a mismatch between the capacity of the area and
the number of people trying to move into the space.
Does Still agree with this statement and believes it pertains to Astroworld 2021?
*****Question 3*****
When pulling people from a static crowd, would that cause the crowd to become dynamic? Is this question
answered from Murphy's essay where it is stated 4 people per square meter is a static crowd. In the sense of
Astroworld 2021, the compaction would be a consistent dynamic crowd. Therefore, removing people would still
maintain a dynamic crowd?

Which set of Crowd Behavior Psychological types of Still Identify or use primarily? Does each event differentiate
between different psych profiles? What category does Dr. Still believe the visitors for Astroworld 2021 would fall
under?
Is would appear to be a fine line to walk where there is a psychological analysis of a crowd while trying to not
blame the crowd when a tragic incident occurs. For example, a deviant crowd might hold the blame for an incident
occurring. In the Introduction to Crowd Science, it states media often portrays the crowd being the one to blame.
Psychological analysis of a crowd would further reinforce this; wouldn't Dr. Still agree?
*****Question 11*****
Is it best to attempt categorize a crowd based on most of the behavior? Some crowds may have a mixture of
behaviors.
*****Question 12*****
Early in the investigation, we were told about normalcy bias in crowds. What is Dr. Still's opinion on that?
*****Question 13*****
An excerpt from Finn's essay stated, "Strong social identity amongst those in a dense crowd where similar
situational norms and a shared bond makes people more tolerant of a crowded situation." "This may lower the
perception of risk to their own personal safety until it is too late".
Would this be connected to normalcy bias?
*****Question 14*****
Tristen Taylor's Essay
Time - This essay mentions time. It says often timing of the vent and micro planning of the stages can cause
issues where the crowd has unexpected surges and quick points that have to be carefully managed.
In our investigation, the issue from transition to Stage 2 to Stage 1 has been a constant discussion. What is Dr.
Still's take on this transition?
*****Question 15*****
What is the event capacity? How much area Is there and how will it be used?
CAD 1.37. The Capacity signed off by HFD vs the actual viewing capacity. What is Dr. Still's opinion on this? Per
our investigation, it appears to be common pertaining to festivals.
*****Question 16*****
I believe it was in Taylor's essay that a capacity limit should stop at approximately 80% attendnance. Does Dr. Still
agree with this and/or was he the one that might have said this? If so, why?
*****Question 17*****
Design element was the causality on over half the incidents and concluded that an appropriate risk analysis of
crowds need to be understood to significantly reduce fatalities and serious injuries. What does Dr. Still think of the
design and setup of the Astroworld 2021 Festival? Thoughts on Stage 1?
*****Question 18*****
What is Dr. Still's opinion on crowd counting? Should it have occurred for all four quadrants at Astroworld? HFD
Could monitor the blocking points? Not all T Intersecting Venues do that?

[A.) Interactions with Attorneys]
I have spoken to Attorney Eric Nichols for Sascha Guttfruend and Lucas Conder. I have spoken to Attorney Sean
Teare to see where the status was for Eric Nichols to provide the requested Depositions via GJS.
I have been contacted by Attorney Charles Flood requesting an update. I have spoken to Attorney Chris Downey
and we tentatively set up a date to interview Brent Silberstein for May 18, 2023. I reached out and did not hear
anything back from Mr. Downey. I have worked with Attorney Johnny Sutton for the Carol Haave and John Junnel
interviews. Along Attorney Johnny Sutton, I have spoken with Brian Kowalski of Live Nation. We discussed Scott
Davidson (See below for more details). I have met and spoken with Joe Bailey to discuss his clients involvement.
He wanted to know the status for Clair Global and Paradocs.
I have spoke with Attorney Phillip Brinson representing Tray Hicks who asked for an update on the case. I have
reached out to Attorney Derek Hollingsworth who stated he is representing Emily Ockenden. I have spoken with
the plaintiff's attorneys in Dallas for status updates on the case. I have continued to be transparent with all of the
attorneys and their clients. As I have stated in the previous parts of this investigation; transparency is what has
gotten this investigation (as for Barrow and me) as far as we have gotten with regards to information gathering.
[B.) Interactions with Scoremore]
I was in communication with Attorney Sean Teare and Dan Cogdell of the Cogdell Law Firm who are representing
Scoremore. We set a date for me to interview Lucas Conder and Sascha Guttfreund on April 18, 2023 at Cogdell's
Firm. I prepared for their interviews the days and night before. I was requested by Attorney Eric Nichols not to
record the conversation of either client due to the civil litigation. I arrived at the Cogdell Law Firm at approximately
0800 hours and met with Attorneys Eric Nichols, Sean Teare, and Dan Cogdell. They provided me with a binder
containing documents pertinent to Scoremore as a client that was extracted from the civil litigation via discovery.
This binder will be reviewed and tagged as evidence under this case number. I interviewed Lucas Conder first at
approximately 0930 hours. I then interviewed Sascha Guttfreund at approximately 1230 hours. There were some
breaks in between. Both interviews had the three attorneys present. Below is a synopsis of the interview. The
interviews took place in a conference room at Cogdell Law Firm in Houston, Texas within Harris County located
at:
1000 Main St., Suite 2300
Houston, TX 77002
i.) Lucas Conder Interview
Introduction
Lucas Conder stated he was living in Los Angeles with his wife. He stated he worked for a talent agency. He
stated he was interested in moving to Austin, Texas and reached out to Sascha Guttfreund in 2015 for a job with
Scoremore. He stated Sascha was looking for a #2 in command and he was hired. He stated his job within the
company is to book artists. He stated in their industry, they get to know different people. He stated it is not
uncommon for people to reach out for favors / requests for certain things even though it does not fall under their
job description. He stated primarily, he was in charge of bringing in artists for festivals / concerts.
Relationships - Key Players
He stated he worked with Cara Lewis and David Stromberg in 2019 and in 2021. I began to go through a list of
individuals that have come up in this investigation. I asked what his experience with John Junnel was. He stated
he has had lots of conversations with John Junnel. He stated he trusts him. He stated John Junnel is to ensure
safety operations are covered from a thousand-foot view from Live Nation. He stated John Junnel and Seyth
Boardman communicated amongst each other. He stated he did not talk to Carol Haave a lot.
I asked about his relationship with Brad Wavra. He stated Brad Wavra is Travis's booker. He stated he is a bit
different from John Junnel pertaining to safety concerns. He stated he did not discuss safety with Wavra.

Narrative
As for Brent Silberstein, Conder stated he has known Brent Silberstein for some while now. He stated Brent works
as the Jambalaya Festival Director.
He stated he spoke to Seyth Boardman more than Shawna. He stated Shawna appeared to have a support role
position to Seyth. He stated Brent Silberstein brought in Seyth because Seyth understands Travis Scott's "crowd".
He stated there are only approximately five companies in the industry that have a security background that is
known and can handle the volume of this festival.
I asked what his relationship with Scott Davidson was. He stated Scott Davidson was asked not to come back by
the company. He stated Scott's budget would get really high for security / medical. He stated they once realized
this when his budget for security / medical was more expensive for a one day festival than a three day festival. He
stated if they asked why the budget was so high, Davidson would say that they just did not want to be safe and
were being negligent. He stated on top of that, there was an attitude problem with Davidson. He stated they would
work with cities / venues and when their event was done, the host would welcome them back but specifically
request them not to bring back Davidson. He stated this would be because Davidson would talk down to the
venue, local PD, and local medical.
I asked what was the event that caused them to go their separate ways. Lucas stated there was an Jambalaya
event. He stated Scott's budget was very high and the personnel was extreme. He stated the show ended up
getting canceled anyway due to weather. I asked who else could I speak to that has security experience with
concerts / festivals. He stated the pool is limited. He recommended I speak with Pete Beattle with MNPR. I asked
about Rob Weekes. He stated he would not consider Weekes in the same level with Pete Beattle.
I moved onto talk about the Fire Department. I asked what did he believe HFD's role was with festival. Lucas
stated he thinks HFD oversees looking over capacity limits and certain permits such as tents.
I asked bout his involvement with hiring security companies. He stated that was up to Seyth and NRG. He stated
he would put his faith in them to handle that process. I asked if he was aware some of the security companies that
were hired may be unlicensed. He stated he was not aware of that. I asked how Scoremore would handle that if
they were to find out. HE stated they would tell Seyth to hire a company that was licensed. He stated he did not
have any involvement with the security companies hired (Valleje / AJ Melino).
He stated they would bus people over. I asked him does he mean that they would pick up people randomly and
shuttle them over. He stated they would get all kinds of people to work as security guards for festivals. He stated it
could be anyone that is told to watch over a concession stand. He stated the more serious jobs such as handling
security for a venue area or crowd would be assigned to the professional security guards.
I asked him about his relationship with Travis Scott. He stated his only interaction with Travis Scott was him
getting yelled at by Travis for not booking an artist in time.
I asked about the booking of Drake. He stated he did not have a part of that. He stated he worked on hiring all of
the other artists for the festival. He stated it is not uncommon in the industry for the headliner to bring their own
artist they want during the performance. He stated he found out Drake was going to be there a few weeks before
the festival.
Sponsors
Lucas Conder stated there are multiple revenue pots that go on when a festival is put on. He stated of those pots
are sponsorships. He stated the sponsorships do not necessarily come from Scoremore to the festival. He stated
for example, David Stromberg attempted to bring on Nike to the festival for revenue. He stated he does not
believe it came to fruition.
Split 90 % / 10 %
Lucas and I spent a lot of time talking about the revenue distribution for this festival. He stated it was set at 90% /
10 %. He stated Travis Scott was going to keep 90 % of the revenue and they (Scoremore / Live Nation) would
receive the remaining 10 %. He stated the caveat was if Travis did not obtain a profitable income, his industry
would eat the loss. He stated as time went on, Travis continued to funnel money into his stage which caused him

Narrative
to need the festival to be more of a success. He stated one of the aspects that would be utilized to calculate the
total revenue was ticket sales. He stated the second part of total revenue is sponsorships. He stated food and
alcohol sales were split 50% / 50%, however.
Apple Live Stream
I asked Lucas Conder what could he tell me about the Apple Live Stream. He stated they have done a Livestream
before which was Amazon at Dreamville. He stated he was not a part of the deal. He stated he knew the deal had
to be redone multiple times but Scoremore did not get a cut directly from the deal. He stated they would get a cut
through the overall revenue. I asked him how would that make sense if they were not a part of the livestream deal
with Apple. He stated the livestream success would add to the overall revenue for the festival. I told Lucas I did
not understand because they were not a part of the livestream sales, no one knew about the livestream until days
in advance of the festival. I told Lucas that I did not understand how Travis Scott's deal with Apple would add to
festival revenue.
EOP
I asked Lucas what he could tell me about the EOP. He stated it is an evolving document and is tailored to the
specific event would be his guess. I asked if it is common for show stop authority to be included in EOP. He stated
he is not sure. He stated he has never stopped a show before. I asked for Astroworld 2021, what would be his
way of stopping the show if it were his decision. He stated he would have had Travis do it. He stated they are
Travis' fans.
CAD Drawings
Lucas stated he and Sascha were only on one call pertaining to the CAD drawings. He stated there were multiple
people on the call including Carol Haave. He stated the concern was the visibility at Stage 2. He stated
secondarily, there was an issue for the transition from Stage 2 to Stage 1. He stated as far as he knows, there
were adjustments to adhere to both issues.
He stated every festival there is a CAD map(s) that need to be approved. I asked if he was aware that an
unapproved map was used. He stated he did not. Eric Nichols stated the map that was approved had very little
change in comparison. I told him the map was still not the approved map, nonetheless.
Single Stage & Countdown Clock
Lucas stated an artist saving their stage to be the only one on that stage is atypical. He stated obviously there are
festivals with only one stage that artists play on throughout the day but not where a stage is unused for the day
except for a single artist. He stated it was not a safety concern to him. I asked about the countdown clock. He
stated it was atypical to have a countdown clock for a stage that was not in use except for the single artist.
Again, Lucas stated there were adjustments made to help alleviate any issues for having only one stage. He
stated there was talk about having three stages but Travis stated no to having a third stage. I stated to be fair,
there were talks about it being too cramped to add a third stage. Lucas stated that is true.
Alcohol Sales
I asked about alcohol says being cut off at 09:00 PM. He stated that is not abnormal and is a decision made by
the vendor. He stated they just had a festival where that was decided recently to stop alcohol sales at
approximately 09:00 PM.
Day of the Festival
Lucas Conder stated he had contracted COVID-19 so he was unable to attend the event. He stated he watched
the Apple Live Stream and worked from home to do what he could. He stated there were various calls throughout
the day but they were the general calls for a festival. He stated for example, a vendor was upset because an
employee drove an vehicle that advertised a different energy drink than what they represented at the festival. He
stated he used his personal cell phone and they did not have a work phone (( Verizon). He stated
his primary focus was the artist movement to get onto stage throughout the day.

Narrative
Lucas stated he saw gate crashing but that is super common for gate crashes. He stated Travis is not the only
artist where gate crashes happen and is not the only artist that tries to hype up a crowd to do things. He stated he
was also made aware of a merch issue but learned it was handled. He stated there were complaints that it was
too easy for people to get backstage. He stated there complaints that people were not allowed back stage that
should have been able to. He stated it was a typical festival day and that it was common for all of the
communication to go on.
He stated when the livestream came on, he was watching with Sascha on the phone. He stated he did not see
anything abnormal. He stated Brent Silberstein sent a weird text to Sascha about people climbing the towers. He
stated he and Sascha thought "typical Brent" and that everything is a stressor for Brent. He stated it was not
atypical for a text like that to come form Brent. We reviewed the text message that he was referring to (100750).
Attorney Eric Nichols stated the time of the text message should be accurate to the time it was sent.
Lucas stated they saw the text either right at the end of Travis Scott's concert or just before the livestream ended.
He stated Sascha received either a call or text from Brad Wavra that something had happened. He stated Joe
Stallone also began giving information.
He stated that was it. He stated he watched the news throughout the night and got bits and pieces of information.
He stated their company looked into receiving grief counseling for employees. He stated they decided going
forward they would work with the best of the best; meaning Pete Beattle.
I asked if he had to blame someone for what happened or some "thing" that caused the deaths of the victims,
what would it be. He stated there is no one to blame. He stated it was a standard stage and not any mistakes
were made per say. He stated Astroworld is the ultimate Travis Scott festival. He stated if you are a true-die hard
Travis Scott fan, you go to Astroworld. He stated that is why the concert is sold out before any of the lineup is
released. He stated it is his event so his biggest fans are in Houston as it takes place in Travis' home. He stated
that is why the crowd was more extreme than at Travis Scott concerts at other venues.
I thanked Lucas Conder for his time.
ii.) Sascha Guttfreund Interview
Introduction
I introduced myself to Sascha Guttfruend. I asked how did he get involved with Travis Scott. Sascha stated he
saw Travis Scott rapping on top of a car in 2012 - 2013 as he was leaving a Kendrick Lamar concert. He stated
Travis Scott became famous by hard work and trying to rise up the old way. He stated nowadays, you can
become famous via Tick-Tock. He stated Kanye West signed on Travis Scott and that was a boost to his career.
He stated eventually, he would work with Travis Scott when a partner brought him in at a festival for
SouthXSouthwest. Sascha Guttfreund stated he only has one festival outside of Texas and that is Dreamville in
Raleigh, North Carolina.
I asked how he got started with Scoremore. He stated he started networking and getting into festivals. He stated
he sold wristbands that would say they are softer than handcuffs for a lawfirm to help prevent / assist with DWIs.
He stated he would eventually start Scoremore and work on events. He stated he was approached by Live Nation
in 2015. He stated he refused to join Live Nation because his company was still growing. HE stated in 2018, he
joined with Live Nation.
Sascha stated Festivals are much more complicated than working festivals. I asked if that was because concert
venues have most of the utility needs whereas festivals need to pull everything in from all angles. Sascha stated
exactly. He stated festivals are much more involved because you pull in people that you have worked with in the
past and a lot of it is word of mouth.
I asked what his relationship with John Junnel was. He stated he has a good relationship with him. He stated
Junnel's job recently changed. He stated before, he would "bless" security plans. He stated he might be doing that
remotely. He stated Junnel also blessed the hiring of Seyth Boardman.

Narrative
I asked what was his relationship with Carol Haave. He stated he did not know her before Astroworld but they had
a positive relationship.
I asked about his relationship with Scott Davidson. He stated city officials and venues have requested in the past
for him not to come back. He stated that made their relationship more difficult. I asked if he believed if Scott
Davidson working Astroworld 2019 would have made a difference and he stated he is not sure.
As for Brad Wavra, he stated he had an interesting dynamic with Travis. He stated he needed to be a partner with
Travis Scott as his sole promoter on behalf of Live Nation. He stated he is a promoter for Travis Scott globally.
I asked about his relationship with Travis Scott. Sascha stated Travis Scott has had a lot of managers. He stated
there are rumors as to why some managers have left the Travis Scott organization. He stated David Stromberg
has been with him for the longest and is a pushover which might be why he hangs with him. He stated Travis is
unique to deal with.
I asked about Brent Silberstein. Sascha Guttfreund stated he has known Brent for a long time and met him in
Houston. He stated Brent has been in the industry for a long time as well. He stated Brent got started as a runner
when he was a teenager. He stated he is still close to Brent Silberstein. I asked about Brent Silberstein's
demeanor before the festival and after. I mentioned the text messages that Brent had sent out saying "bed was
self made". He stated he believes that was when the stage was not being built in time due to the weather and
other issues. He stated Brent was stressed. Sascha stated the statement was due to his experience being hurt
(ego) and was not about security / safety. He stated Brent Silberstein was upset because the company 1826 had
been telling Brent what to do because they were brought on to Travis Scott. He stated 1826 assumed Brent's role
even though Brent had the experience. He stated he thinks Brent was also upset because he had been working
with Brad Wavra for a long time and his role was being ignored. Attorney Eric Nichols stated this could be further
supported if I were to read Kathryn Paraskevas' deposition. I told Mr. Nichols that I would file a GJS for the
deposition.
I asked how was Brent Silberstein after the incident. Sascha stated the day after the festival, he tested negative
for COVID19. He stated he traveled to Houston and wanted to be support for Brent. He stated Emily and Seyth
left the city. He stated Brent was upset and could not understand how the incident happened. He stated he also
was upset that Emily and Seyth had gotten close. He stated Brent said he felt they shut him out after he was the
one who brought Emily on. He stated Brent did not put the blame on anyone or anything.
I asked about Sascha's relationship with Emily Ockenden. He stated he met Emily in Pemberton. He stated Seyth
and Emily were very close and moved around in different roles. He stated eventually, Emily moved into Site
Operations.
Sascha Guttfreund stated the first time he worked with Seyth Boardman was at Astroworld. He stated Seyth would
act condescending towards him and would say he was hired as security and that is what he planned to do.
EOP
We moved onto another topic and I asked about the EOP. Sascha stated he found the EOP was interesting. He
stated he never received the EOP and did not see it until after the tragedy happened. He stated he never
consulted with Safety and Security regarding the EOP. He stated he found it odd that Seyth Boardman's name
was not in there to shut down the show. He stated he found it absurd that Emily and Seyth were listed to put a
stop to the show. I asked Sascha if he knew Matt Eyer and he stated he did not.
Dan Cogdell and Sascha began to discuss whether or not Seyth left himself out of the EOP on purpose to stop the
show.
Fire Marshall
For the Fire Marshall, he stated the Fire Marshall is supposed to sign off on capacity.
CAD Drawings
Sascha Guttfreund stated he never received the final CAD map. He stated he sat on one call where there was a
/CATEN, J M 06/29/2023 11:31 Page 11 of 33
Suppl No
1490724-21 0090
Narrative
flagged issue about the Transition from Stage 1 to Stage 2. He stated the visibility at Stage 2 was also an issue.
He stated there were steps taken in place to mediate both issues. He stated LiveNation was the one who looked
at the CAD and raised the concern. I asked why the CAD drawings did not list the viewable space. He stated CAD
drawings usually gather the entire square footage, not just viewable space. He stated the capacity falls under the
Fire Marshall. He stated the 2021 viewable capacity is the same as the 2019 viewable capacity. He stated his
extent of participation was to make sure John, Seyth and Carol were communicating. He stated they all blessed
the final approval. I asked him if he has ever seen a non-approved plan implemented and he stated he has not.
Stopping Shows
Sascha Guttfreund stated in 2019, he brought Chief Finner over to David Stromberg to have the show shutdown
when they were going over curfew. He stated David Stromberg called Mayor Turner's personal cell at 11 o'clock at
night to see if they could continue the concert. He stated he himself has never stopped a show. He stated they
have cancelled a show due to weather issues. He stated he believes a show stop involves all of the stakeholders.
Apple Live Stream
Sascha stated the Apple revenue would be included into the overall pot but he had no part in the deal. He stated
he was never aware of what took place in the deal, the camera issues with capacity. I told him Emily Ockenden
believed it to be an issue and he stated that would fall under her job description. He stated no one ever
complained to him directly.
Single Stage
Sascha's comment on Travis being the only one to play on Stage 1 was atypical. He stated he wanted to keep it
for himself and his highest level of committed fans were there. He stated he is not sure if there is a link to the
deaths with Travis only playing on one stage. He stated Travis would not allow anyone to play on his stage. He
stated if it was up to him, he would have not allowed it. I asked who ultimately makes the decision. He stated there
is a list of people to say no. He stated the way this particular case was mitigated was through Carol and Junnel.
Opinion on the Incident
I asked Sascha who does he think is to blame for the incident that occurred. He stated there is no one to blame.
He stated he cannot blame any individuals for what happened. He stated he wish he knew what happened. He
stated he wish he did not have COVID and was able to attend. I asked why did he not send anyone in his stead.
He stated Lucas is his number two and he gave Lucas COVID. He stated there was not a number three to send.
He stated his Live Nation partner was there and Brad Wavra was there. He stated he believed that was enough
coverage. He stated with Live Nation being there, that was their representation.
Day of Incident
Sascha stated he had to stay home in Austin due to COVID-19. He stated he was doing what he can. He stated
the messages fluctuate at the rate based on the time of day for the festival. He stated when the festival opens,
there is more information going around. He stated it calms down and then heats up again as the day goes on. He
stated he does not remember getting anything out of the ordinary. He stated heard about the gate crashes either
from Social Media or the news. He stated Seyth Boardman even set up fake barricades for the kids to take over
so that they had "their win" in acting out. He stated as the day went on, David Stromberg began blowing him up
complaining about Seyth. He stated he shared those messages with Seyth to just keep him aware and Seyth blew
up on him. I asked what kind of stuff was David saying. He stated David told him there was no police back stage
or near their side of the perimeter.
Sascha stated his point of telling Seyth was just to relay the message. He stated Seyth would have ignored him if
he made any suggestions because he was the security specialist and would say he knew what he was doing. He
stated Seyth was somewhat condescending towards him. He stated he would tout the experience he had. He
stated after he shared the information from Wavra and Stromberg, Seyth resented him. He stated Wavra was
more involved with security around Scott's area because Seyth was linked with Chief Satterwhite.
Sascha Guttfreund stated after that, the volume of texts decreased. He stated he watched the livestream with

the stream at their houses. He stated he saw the golf cart and thought it was odd. He stated at approximately
2156 hours, he received a text from Wavra saying that they were shutting down the show after Drake. He stated
he asked Wavra if it was because the golf cart. He stated at 2309 hours, Wavra told him it was an MCI. He stated
Joe Stalone called him at 2312 hours to tell him about he MCI. He stated that was it. He stated he went to the
Astroworld Festival the following day.

[C.) Interactions with Live Nation]
i.)Carol Haave Interview
Introduction
On May 4, 2023 I went to 700 Louisiana, Ste 2300 in Houston, Texas within Harris County to meet with Attorney
Johnny Sutton, Attorney Brian Kowalski, and Carol Haave for an interview. I arrived at approximately 1300 hours
to conduct the interview.
I met Carol Haave and we began the interview. She stated she had a military background and has worked for the
F.B.I. She stated she worked at the Pentagon after 911. She stated she has worked with Homeland Security as
well. She stated she started Live Nation in November 2016. Her title is Chief Security Officer.
Mrs. Haave stated she put together a physical security for Live Nation that reached out internationally. She stated
there was not a standardized practice to industry standard and that was her top role to fulfill. She stated at the
beginning, there were four personnel (her included). She stated she put together an organization structure. She
stated she hired from the F.B.I., the Secret Service, and hired a different sect of federal operators to make a
diverse team. She stated the Churchuff Group helped them shape a program.
Carol Haave went on to say in 2018, policies and procedures were rolled out. She stated there were initially
sixteen of them for Live Nation. She stated a Global Operations Center was created. She stated they utilized the
"SAFETY ACT" as a guide to build the program. Haave stated her group is at the corporate level for Live nation.
She stated they are not a part of the chain of command pertaining to security. She stated their corporate is
involved in Live Nation venues and Live Nation festivals.
I asked if she was involved with Astroworld in 2018 and she stated she was not. She stated in 2019, she was
aware of some issue with bicycle racks that were pushed down. She stated she was not there and was not a part
of the planning process. She stated she is aware John Junnel attended the "After Action" plan in 2019 but she did
not. I asked if she knew Rob Weekes. She stated she did not know who Rob Weekes was at the time. She stated
there were things he could have been stronger on. She stated that opinion on him does not come out from
Astroworld however.
I asked Carol how she got started in the business for events. I was curious how she jumped into a role without
working festival / concert events. She stated they used a Safety Security Group that would go out and gather Intel.
She stated they would come back with feedback for what they learned at festivals and events. She stated the
feedback would be disseminated out to the festival directors and personnel in that capacity. She stated they
Festival directors and personnel would weigh in and provide feedback to the Safety Security Group.
Carol Haave stated John Junnel worked for her in 2018 as the Director for Security Operations pertaining to
Festivals. She stated his job in 2018 was just putting together policies and procedures. She stated he worked on
getting to know who owned festivals in the United States. She stated he put together a Festival Security Group.
She stated he would go to a festival, check if they are adhering to policy. She stated he would be a resource to
the security directors and monitor the policies of Live Nation to be followed.
She stated their group in the organization, there is a third party assessment and the D.H.S. She stated the
assessors acted as monitors and would audit their program to make sure it is effective.

Narrative
I asked her about her relationship with Brad Wavra. She stated he is a colleague and met him after she was with
Live Nation. She stated she had never interacted with Brad Wavra before but knew of him. She stated she heard
he had some affiliation with Astroworld. She stated when Seyth and Junnel brought issues to her (discussed
below), she decided to e-mail Brad Wavra because she had never communicated with him before. She stated her
e-mail contained the concerns from Seyth Boardman. She stated she believes Wavra's response about the issues
should have been discussed weeks before was a jab at Seyth Boardman not her.
When asked about Brent Silberstein and Emily Ockenden, she stated she does not know them.
I asked about her relationship with Seyth and Shawna Boardman. She stated Seyth is a security director and
Shawna is his wife. She stated they do a lot of EDM events. She stated she is not sure if she has worked with
Seyth. She stated she typically worked with John Junnel who worked with Seyth. She stated she did not work with
Seyth directly. She stated after Astroworld 2019, John Junnel recommended Seyth Boardman. She stated Seyth
Boardman has been in the business for twenty-five or thirty plus years. She stated she has seen how he works at
Rolling Loud. I asked what she meant by that.
She stated for example, Seyth knew to monitor set-lists for events. She stated some hip hop guys that are feuding
with each other, Seyth would monitor the setlist to keep them separated from each other. She stated he would
also help alleviate the issue by having credentialling off-site. She stated she thinks Seyth Boardman is thorough
and understands the issues. She stated she is comfortable with him.
When it came to security companies, she stated hiring of the companies falls under Seyth. She stated they do not
do further vetting for certain companies because they are used to working with them. She stated they do not vet
for all festivals. She stated she was not aware that Valleje did not have a license to operate in Texas. She stated
she was not aware how the security guards were hired by the companies.
I asked her about Scott Davidson. She stated she did not know him. I asked if she was aware that Live Nation
sent out information to anyone after the festival so they can investigate what happened at the festival. She stated
she was not aware of that.
Becoming Involved with Astroworld 2021
I asked Carol Haave how she became involved with Astroworld 2021. She stated around September 2021, John
Junnel came to her saying there were things Seyth Boardman wanted to talk about. She stated she, John, and
Seyth got on a phone call to talk about some of the issues. I asked if she recalled some of those issues. She
stated she remembers there was an issue about everyone being searched but Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner
request. She stated there was an issue with limiting lack of house passes to a reasonable number. She stated
there was the issue for the transition from Stage 2 to Stage 1. I asked if it was common for a security director to
request to speak to her directly through John Junnel. She stated this is the first time she has ever experienced a
meeting of this nature with them. She stated this is how she got involved. She stated she wanted to support Seyth
in resolving or mitigating whatever he believed was an issue. She stated to her knowledge, all of the issues
brought up were adjusted to make work./
I asked if she has ever dealt with Travis Scott and she stated she had not. She stated Seyth had concerns and
sent those concerns to John. She stated John sent the concerns to her so she reached out to Brad Wavra.
I asked how else did she assist in the Astroworld 2021 Festival. She stated people in her group monitor venues,
shows, festivals via watching social media. She stated that is not an unusual thing to do to prevent and look out
for potential threats. She stated it was unusual in this instance that Boardman and Junnel asked her to make sure
it was being monitored for Travis Scott for this event.
Day of Incident
Mrs. Haave stated she was not in Houston on the day of the festival. She stated she recalled on that day, she was
doing her normal day to day job. She stated she was briefing the Live Nation CEO, looking at budgets, hiring, etc.
I asked if she remembered when she was reached out by John Junnel. She stated she was notified sometime
after the gates went down. I asked about Live Nations policies on how to handle certain instances such as gate

crashes.
Haave stated decisions such as resets must be made at that time. She stated she was not there. She stated it is
up to the stakeholders at the location to make that decision.
She stated she recalled discussing before the festival opened that there was a large crowd around the COVID
testing area. She stated she does not remember any other incidents.
She stated she remembered sending a text to John Junnel saying it was awfully quiet and that she was just
checking in. She stated John Junnel was the one who notified her about the deaths. She stated he told her that
they were close to stopping the show. She stated when she received the news, she contacted Brad Nelson who is
the VP Governor for Risk and Compliance. She stated John Junnel told her that he was with Chief Satterwhite
and that there might be eight deaths. She stated Junnel told her that he found Wavra and escorted him back
stage.
I asked Haave if she ever went to the venue. She stated she was in the area where the mountain was, but it had
already been taken down.
Additional Questions
I asked if she was ever aware about capacity issues or displacing people. She stated she was not. I asked her if it
is odd that insurance was bought just before the festival. She stated that is not unusual for Insurance to be bought
at any point before an event. She stated it can happen at anytime before.
I asked her if she was aware of any companies abandoning their posts or pulling out of the festival due to safety
concerns. She stated she cannot recall.
I asked her if she knew the approved plan (Plan 1.37) was not the plan used at the festival. She stated she was
not aware of that.
I asked if there is a guideline or plan set up for a show stop. She stated they want every festival to have an EOP.
She stated the specifics within the EOP is pertinent to the venue. She stated they do not take apart the plan and
edit it. She stated those plans are submitted. She stated there were eighty festivals. She stated it is not typical that
all festival EOPs are reviewed.
I began to focus on the Stage 2 to Stage 1 issue. She stated it was a concern for the migratory space. She stated
they were concerned after Stage 2 ended, there would be a cramming from Stage 2 to Stage 1 in a pinch point
fashion. She stated that area was therefore widened.
She stated she does not get involved with capacity or viewing area.
She stated she does not know of any contract deals between Apple and Travis Scott. She stated she does not

sector. He stated in 2015, he began a job with Human Longevity in a genomic research lab.
Mr. Junnel stated he was recruited by Carol Haave to come in as a director of security operations to strictly deal
with festivals. He stated he worked in different divisions. He stated he was promoted since then and moved to
replace Carol Haave in September.
I asked how John Junnel knew of Seyth Boardman. He stated he met Seyth in 2018. He stated he was a Security
Director for the Governor's Ball Festival. I asked what his experience of Seyth was. He stated he was very
organized and did a good job. He stated he has had a good relationship with Seyth for the last five years.
He stated he has maintained that professional relationship with him which is what prompted him to bring in Seyth
to work for Scoremore. I asked how many security directors he knows in that regard. He stated approximately five
or less. I asked how do they work together for events. Junnel stated they may work closer together on certain
events. He stated it depends on the event in what capacity he works alongside Seyth.

Mr. Junnel stated in 2019, he learned Live Nation had acquired Scoremore. He stated since he was assigned to
festivals, he began working alongside Sascha. He stated his role was to make sure Scoremore is adhering to Live
Nation's compliance of best practices. John Junnel stated he attended the After Actions meeting for the
Astroworld 2019. He stated Scoremore requested he go for the feedback of the event.
I asked if he remembered the overall take from the 2019 After Actions plan. He stated there was a lack of
coordinated plan, lack of security, lack of coordination with the venue, medical concerns, and their tasked role. He
stated after the meeting, Junnel stated they should be on a professional security director. He stated in was in a
group discussing who they should bring. He stated Seyth Boardman was one of those people mentioned. He
stated he was not the one who asked Seyth directly to work Astroworld 2021.
He stated Live Nation did not get involved with the hiring of security teams hired. I asked if he heard one of the
companies hired were not licensed. Junnel stated from time to time, they hear of these issues. He stated
sometimes it is involving insurance requirements or licensing. He stated when Live Nation is made aware of it,
they push it back towards the Security Director to remedy. He stated for Astroworld 2021, he was not aware of a
security company not being licensed. He stated had he been made aware, he would have had it fixed by telling
the security director to get it through the proper channels.

stated he worked on site assessment for security operations. He stated Live Nation makes sure they are aligned
with the local requirements based on where the venue is located. He stated he would look at what plans are
operating on site and make sure best practice is followed. He stated for Astroworld 2021, issues were raised from
Seyth. He stated he got involved afterwards. I asked what kind of issues came up.
Junnel stated playing on one stage was an issue because there was a narrow passageway to the main stage from
stage 2. He stated there was an issue with the search protocols that were passed to the artist's management
team. He stated Seyth had plans though to alleviate the issues. He stated opening the site earlier than announced
was one of those plans. He stated he briefed Carol Haave of the issues. He stated the three of them discussed
the issues. He stated he participated on various calls through the planning stages.

that Seyth brought up were issues. He stated ultimately, he did come to understand what Seyth was concerned
about. He stated he believes Seyth Boardman was concerned and should be concerned for all the events he
worked.
I asked if he recalled talking with Seyth via text message where Seyth stated that he is not looking towards the
event. He stated he does not know what he meant. He stated what he believes Seyth meant was the event was
going to be a challenge. He stated the stadium was putting pressure on Seyth for reassurance.
I asked about the text between John Junnel and Carol Haave about Brad Wavra seeming nervous. He stated he
believed that was because Wavra was nervous about the stage not being finished on time.
I asked John Junnel about the text message where Seyth stated he made everyone feel comfortable. Mr.
Junnel stated after the After Actions plan in 2019, there was a lot of feedback. He stated the venue, PD,
and others chimed in a lot on how to make things better. He stated when Seyth was to present the
Astroworld 2021 security plan, he thought he was going to get a lot of comments, questions, and possible
pushback. He stated after his presentation, he did not get any of that. He stated this alarmed Seyth
because he thought everyone was okay with the plan and did not fully understand the undertaking of this
festival. He stated Seyth made everyone feel comfortable. He stated he noticed the same PD personnel
that was in the After Actions plan in 2019 did not raise any concerns for the 2021 meeting. He stated it
was surprising.
John Junnel stated they had a walkthrough the property the day before the festival. He stated Seyth Boardman
led the walkthrough. He stated he went through the changes, plans, barricades, etc. He stated it was a Q&A
process. He stated Chief Satterwhite was there. He stated SWAT, someone from medical, and stadium personnel
was also there. He stated he believed the plan Seyth had to be a good plan after looking over it.

barricades near the bridge. He stated he asked Chief Satterwhite if they had sufficient manpower and he stated
yes.

Chief Satterwhite told him that he would make (in CID) aware of the issues.
I asked Junnel his involvement with capacity and if he knew why no one measured the viewing area. He stated it
depends on the site and dynamics opposed rather than measuring the viewing area. He stated each site has
different dynamics.
He stated the variables is the permitting process, local authorities and falling into the CAD design adhering to the
specific requirements in the area.

Day of Incident
I mentioned the text messages on the day of where Seyth mentions the gate crashing. Junnel stated Live Nation
relies on local authorities that are in the planning process to decide the best course of action to stop shows / fix
gate crashing. He stated gate crashing is risk based decision and changes based on the location as to how to
handle the gate crashing.
I asked Junnel if he ever received a text or heard of a text from the command post. He stated no one ever told him
about a text. He stated there was not much of significance throughout the day. He stated he learned of the gate
crashing after it had already happened.
He stated during the Travis Scott concert, he did go to the area where the ratchet straps were requested. He
stated he did not see anything out of the ordinary. He stated between the hours of 09:45 PM to 09:50 PM, Seyth

not bring the entire chain of said text or e-mail. Their attorneys made copies of what I brought and stated they
would answer to the context of the messages at a later date.
iv.) Interactions with Live Nation Attorneys & Scott Davidson
In my interview with Carol Haave (described below), I asked her about Scott Davidson. After the interview, I asked
Attorney Brian Kowalski if he could look into the matter where Live Nation hired Scott Davidson for the side
project. I asked if he could inquire what his findings were and why he (per Davidson) was cut off or stopped
receiving feedback. Attorney Brian Kowalski stated he would look into the matter and let me know what he finds.
On May 8, 2023, Attorney Brian Kowalski called me. He stated Scott Davidson was retained by Live Nation as an
expert witness. He stated Scott Davidson essentially violated his contract by speaking with us in a capacity to
share information. He stated he will have to consult with Live Nation how to proceed. I told him we did serve him a
GJS and he did not produce any tangible physical evidence. He stated Scott Davidson has been sending invoices
in as late as this year and has not stopped as an expert witness for Live Nation. I thanked Mr. Kowalski for
looking into the matter.

they were trying to compose themselves to walk out. He stated he did not know if it was due to the heat or
intoxication. He stated also noticed that some of the security personnel would instigate the crowd. He stated saw
the personnel tell the crowd to push back which would cause them to crush each other.
He stated people would start pushing from the back. He stated when they would, the people against the fence
would get crushed over. He stated the people getting crushed against the barricades would get crushed on their
ribs and their stomachs. He stated he has a picture of a female crushed against the barricade with agony on her
face. He stated the security guys would take bottles of water. He stated the security guards would throw bottle
waters out into the crowd. He stated that would spark members of the crowd to start throwing things. He stated
clothing, purses, hats, and other articles of clothing was thrown.
He stated the security guards continued to throw water out to the crowd. He stated they did this approximately 5-6
times before he left that post. He stated people were pushing forward and back. He stated during that time, his
Apple contact came and got him and told him that he needed to be at the boom camera. He stated it was behind a
metal fence. Mr. Williams stated what he meant by boom camera is he means a camera set up on a four wheel
buggy with large mud times. He stated it had a long boom extended out 10 or 12 feet.
He stated he was there. He stated Adam was to his left and Dixon was to his right. He stated before the show
started, the security in the back were still pulling people out. He stated he heard people asking to be pulled out.
He stated they would pull them out, they would get out, walk around then crowd back up. He stated that was
approximately ten minutes before the show.
I asked if it was his experience the area that he was in was supposed to be only camera personnel and security.
He stated that is correct. He stated security would pull people out and tell them to walk out. He stated they would
walk approximately ten feet and then huddle behind the fence. He stated they would huddle in the area that was
supposed to be clear. He stated he would have to yell at them to move because it was so loud. He stated he
would tell people to get out of the way for the boom or they are going to get hit. He stated he was having to drag
people by their arm so they would not get hit. He stated people cooperated for the most part.
Jerald Williams stated he did that for approximately 10 minutes before the show started. He stated as far as he
knows, that is the only thing he was doing before the show started. He stated when the show started, the flames
shot up approximately fifty feet in the air. He stated the singer made his grand entrance and he felt the heat all the
way in the back. He stated that is when the crowd in the back near the fence started to panic. He stated people
began to get turned around and people began to get crushed.
He stated it was not until about 3 or 4 minutes into the show, the security could not handle what they were doing.
He stated they were pulling people over the fence while maintaining security. He stated he left his post and began
pulling people over the fence himself. He stated people begging, "Help me, help me, I don't want to die. I am being
crushed". He stated would stand on the fence himself and pull up from under their arms. He stated he would pull
on whatever part of clothing he could to get them over.
Mr. Williams went on to say that you had to suck them out of the crowd because the suction was so bad within the
crowd due to them being so compact. He stated that you had to yell. He stated he would yell at people and tell
them to pay attention. He stated he would give them instructions for them to help themselves get them out
because he could not get them out on his own. He stated it was constant. He stated he probably pulled out five or
six over the fence. He stated he would escort them, have them sit, and tell them to catch their breath. He stated
he would tell them that they needed to vacate the area.
Williams went on to say that when he dragged them out, they were exhausted and weak. He stated they could not
move. He stated his fifth or sixth one, he went back up. He stated he stepped on someone. He stated there was a
girl on the ground. He stated he leaned down to her and everyone started converging onto him. He stated he had
to give all his strength to get himself and her off of the ground. He stated he dragged her to the back. He stated
she was conscious. He stated she eventually got up and walked up. He stated he returned and pulled six or seven
more. He stated it was the same process.
He stated people were packed in tight, saying that they could not breath and that they did not want to die. He
stated after approximately six or seven more, he started to walk back up. He stated there was a guy sitting on the

tire of the camera boom. He stated he was a black male. He stated he told him that he had to get up. He stated he
told him if the camera rolls, he is going to get hurt. He stated he told him that he needed help. He stated the male
told him that his son is out there and that he does not know where his son is at. He stated he asked him what his
son's name was and what he looks like. He stated the male said his name is Ezra Blount and he showed him a
picture of him.
Williams stated he went to the fence and started calling out for Ezra. He stated he gave out a physical description.
He stated he heard someone yell out that there was a little boy towards his direction on the ground. He stated he
began to climb into the crowd. He stated he heard someone yell, "Help, help, she's not moving. She is passed
out." He stated they literally threw the girl into his arms. He stated when he caught her, he took her to the back
and propped her up. He stated he was down on one knee and she was propped against his right knee.
Jerald Williams stated he checked her pulse and could not feel anything because how loud the music was. He
stated the bass was hitting so hard, his entire body would vibrate. He stated there was no way to tell if she had a
pulse whatsoever. He stated when he got her, her shirt was over her bra and her skirt was halfway up. He stated
he pulled her shirt down and checked for signs of breathing. He stated he gave her a sternum rub and she did not
respond to that. He stated a black male came up and said he was in the army and knows CPR. He stated they
picked her up and they carried her to the back. He stated they had to get her over the fence.
Mr. Williams stated he jumped the fence first and the army guy helped her over. He stated he carried her and ran
to the back. He stated he hopped the fence and caught up to him. He stated they went approximately fifty yards.
He stated they put her down and could not feel a pulse. He stated the army guy began CPR. He stated he went
for approximately thirty seconds. He stated he checked her pulse. He stated he could tell the other guy was
getting tired so he was about to take over before Houston PD arrived. He stated they took over on CPR.
He stated one of the PD officers threw the girl over his shoulder and carried her to the medical tent. He stated he
went with them. He stated he found out later that it was the victim Brianna Rodriguez. He stated after EMS took
over on her, he contacted his management and told them what was going on.
He stated as he was pulling people out of the crowd, he would try to call some of his guys but the cell towers
would not work. He stated his texts would not go out and his calls would not get out. He stated he would hear a
busy signal. He stated he tried to call 911 and his phone would not get out.
He stated at one point, there were people trying to climb up the cables from the boom cameras. He stated he had
to shout to the camera guy to bring it back in to warm him about the people attempting to climb it. He stated that is
when the panic really started. He stated he told the camera guy to bring the boom back because it would hurt
someone or damage property. He stated his Apple contact told him that they were going to go get help. I asked
who the Apple contact was. He stated he does not remember off the top of his head.
Jerald Williams stated he did tell the camera guy that they needed to shut down the show because how bad it was
going. He stated he does not know if the camera man heard him because how loud it was. He stated you could
not hear yourself yell. He stated he yelled at him before Brianna Rodriguez. He stated working on Brianna was the
last thing he did as far as pulling people over the fence. He stated after leaving the concert area, he went
approximately fifty yards behind the medical tent, he called his supervisor and told him what happened. He stated
he tried to call his guys and could not get through to them. He stated he returned to the concert area and found
one of his guys.
He stated they walked around and saw a heavy-set kid. He stated they saw him getting carried out on a makeshift
stretcher. He stated they were trying to point people out to help escort them. He stated they started to walk
around to find the rest of his guys. He stated things started to clear up because the show had ended. He stated
towards the front, they began to hear how a security officer got stabbed with a needle with possibly fentanyl. He
stated he does not know how accurate that was.
I asked when he said he yelled at a camera man to stop the show, did he know which cameramen that was. He
stated it was the cameraman on the boom. He stated he did not know if he heard from him. I asked if he saw
Ezra's father after their interaction. He stated he did not. He stated Brianna was basically thrown into his arms. He
stated they then took her to the back and he did not see her again. He stated at the medical tent, there was a
gentlemen there that a bit older than Brianna. He stated he identified himself as her cousin but he does not

I asked Mr. Williams if they had a debrief after the incident. He stated after everything was done, he grouped up
with his guys and waited for the clearance that everyone could go. He stated they were told they could go. Before
the interview, Jerald Williams stated there were two people I had to talk to as well. I asked who he was talking
about. He stated Adam Barls. He stated Edward Dixon would the one on the camera platform with the other guy. I
asked if he ever explained what happened there (I was referring to the Seanna McCarty incident), he stated he did
but with everything happening, there were a lot of different experiences that ran together. He stated for example,
one of his guys that was close to the front of the stage experienced a guy jumping off the stage landing on a
camera which broke the camera.
Mr. Williams stated the night was a lot. I asked he works with these people often. He stated he does. He went on
to describe the personnel he was with and the agencies they served with before retirement. Mr. Williams stated he
is a coordinator for S.I.S. He stated when a job comes in, he will get people to come in to fill in the position for the
job. He stated this job did not want armed guards. He stated they did not have any unarmed specialists available
for the event.
I asked if they discussed for the event afterwards. He stated he would check in with the guys afterwards. He
stated they would check in with him. He stated from his understanding, Adam Earls had a rough experience as he
came into contact with the ICU nurse who was helping with CPR on three or four people. He stated I should
contact him. I thanked Mr. Williams and terminated the interview.

Apex Security Group: - Apex was hired and is often utilized as security for NRG. Their role for the 2021
Astroworld was to assist HPD and CSC in maintaining perimeter integrity of the festival.
Apple Inc: - Apple Inc was brought in as a partner to Travis Scott to Livestream Travis Scott's performance.
According to documents produced in the civil litigation, Travis Scott had 5 stipulations to fulfil in order to receive
$4.5 million from Apple per contract. Of those 5 acts, one was to complete the show. The livestream appears to
have been brought on last minute and detectives believe they were brought in to help alleviate some of the debt
the Travis Scott organization had accumulated by building the mountain stage. Adding Apple late in the game
would bring about differences in the "creative vision" and disagreements about camera placement. According to
Apple personnel, these issues were solved by the time Travis Scott's performance took the stage.

brass in attendance.
Houston Police Department Criminal Intelligence Division (CID): - The HPD Criminal Intelligence Division
assisted detectives in this investigation by preserving social media requests, passing along tips, and by executing
warrants.
Houston Police Department FOX: - HPD Fox is the name of the helicopter division that assisted by flying over
the festival and relaying information to HPD ground personnel.
Houston Police Department Homicide Division: - The HPD Homicide Division is split into multiple sects.
Pertinent to this investigation is the Special Investigative Unit (SIU) and Homicide Division.

Sergeant Mathew Brady. The three are assigned to Murder Squad 1.

investigate HPD Officers for infractions. The HPD Homicide Division did not interact with IAD other than relay
findings for the investigation per request and/or provide letters that were given by SIU. HPD Homicide's
information provided to IAD was a one way street and information was not disseminated to HPD Homicide from
IAD. The investigations were separate.

assist with HPD Homicide Murder Squad 1 Investigators. They also invested body worn cameras and received
letters of officers that had incidental significance for the investigation. SIU also interviewed other police agencies
and HFD.
Houston Police Department Special Response Group: - HPD Special Response Group (SRG) is a division

currently owns 51% of Scoremore. It would be fair to say based on evidence, Live Nation assisted Scoremore in
hosting Astroworld 2021.
Mass Casualty Event (MCI): - A Mass Casualty Event (MCI) means the medical resources set in place have
risen to a point of depletion where the entity is unable to accommodate current or additional patients. For
Astroworld 2021, a MCI was declared prematurely by HCEC who utilized the SETRAC vehicle to declare the MCI.
Though they had the ambulances, HCEC Medical Director Cameron Decker believed it would be safer to request
an MCI after the notification of a few cardiac arrests.
When an MCI is declared, a message is sent out to nearby hospitals to notify them that a MCI has occurred in the
area. This act prepares the medical hospitals to get ready to receive an influx of patients. The hospital is also able
to submit messages back to say whether or not their emergency center is full. This is to save time and not route
patients to the location as they would not be able to receive immediate care. A MCI via SETRAC is different from
an MCI for the Houston Fire Department. HFD has their own policies pertaining MCIs. They have different levels
of MCIs for example that determine how many personnel are to respond, how many ambulance units are needed,
etc.
Movie Bird: - A movie bird is a telescopic crane camera that is typically utilized for television and film. Apple
utilized a movie bird for the livestream. For Astroworld 2021, the movie bird has been determined to be Camera 6
which captured victims receiving CPR in Quadrant 3. The crane itself became disabled but the camera was still
operational for the stream.

Travis Scott, crafted his name from a favorite uncle and one of his inspirations (Kid Cudi) whose real name is
Scott Mescudi. Travis Scott began his first major label contract in 2012. In 2018, Travis Scott released his third
studio album, "Astroworld". The album had a hit single called "Sicko Mode" which featured Drake. In 2020, Scott
became the first artist on the Hot 100 to have three songs debut at number one in less than a year.
Travis Scott was arrested in Chicago at Lollapalooza festival on August 1, 2015. I noticed there was not an arrest
documented in NCIC. According to Lt. M. Moreth of Chicago PD, the police report was documented under case
number: HY364987. An individual named in the report, Denise M. Robinson was arrested in the incident as well. I
did not find charges for her in NCIC. Scott was arrested for disorderly conduct after telling concertgoers to rush
the stage.
According to Wikipedia, in 2015 at the Open-air Festival in Switzerland, Travis Scott can be seen allegedly
encouraging fans to attack a man who took his shoe while crowd-surfing. He stopped the concert and repeatedly
told the crowd to "fuck him up", while spitting on him (as seen on YouTube).
According to NCIC, Travis Scott (under his legal name) was arrested by Rogers Police Department on May 13,
2017 for Endangering Welfare of a Minor, Disorderly Conduct, and Inciting a riot. I contacted Roger Police
Department who stated there are no documents pertaining to my request. I was later told the documents were
sealed and would have to go through an attorney/prosecutor to be reviewed. Assistant District Attorney M. Levine
contacted them and reviewed the information.
April 30, 2017, a fan sued Travis Scott after falling off a balcony and becoming paralyzed. The lawsuit stated he
was dragged on stage and blamed the fall on a crowd surge. This individual is Kyle Green. I have reached out to
his attorney and have not received any information (Attorney Howard Hershenhorn).
I received an anonymous tip to reach out to John McGuire. I researched the individual and found a John McGuire
of Trask House LLC. He stated he worked with Travis Scott since 2015 and helped create Astroworld. He stated
he was yelled at by Travis Scott in the "Look Mom I can Fly" Netflix documentary. He stated he and Travis Scott
had differing views regarding Safety and Security. Travis' disregard for safety among other factors led to his
departure from the organization.

significant events. For example, at 2103 hours, there is a log that unconscious people were being pulled from the
crowd.

Brown. I told Mr. Brown that I needed his assistance to enhance public safety during the concert and other
unplanned "pop up" future events. I specifically asked him to notify us before having any unscheduled events to
allow us to properly staff it. Mr. Brown concurred and he asked if I could speak directly with Mr. Scott and I
agreed to do so. Mr. Brown escorted me into Mr. Scott's trailer where we had a brief conversation. I expressed
the need and my desire for our teams to communicate effectively to keep everyone safe that night and for future
unplanned "pop up" events. I informed Mr. Scott that during the pandemic I had witnessed a level of disorder that
I had not experience during my entire career and it had an effect on people of all ages. Before leaving, I told Mr.
Scott I was proud of him for giving back to the community and thanked him for renovating the basketball court at
Sunnyside Park. After the meeting, I informed my team that I would be leaving the location and would return later
that night before the end of the concert.
At 2120 hours, I called Executive Assistant Chief Satterwhite, who was at the concert, to inform him that I would
be returning shortly. Chief Satterwhite informed me that Seyth Boardman notified him that the barricade in front of
the stage had possibly failed and if it could not be repaired the concert would be shut down. I asked Chief
Satterwhite to have someone meet me at the command post upon my arrival. Once I arrived, Commander
Seafous directed my support team and me to the main stage area. At 2202 hours, we walked in front of the stage
looking for a breach in the barricade but did not notice any. I asked Commander Seafous for the location of Chief
Satterwhite, and said he was not sure, but we should check behind the stage. After arriving back stage, Chief
Satterwhite approached me and stated that at least three unresponsive citizens has been removed from the crowd
and administered CPR. I told Chief Satterwhite that the concert should have ended and why was the music still
playing? He told me that he had ordered them to end the show and this would be the last song. The music ended
after that song and I was notified of more victims who were transported to hospitals. We later walked over to the
medical tent where medics were administering CPR to an unresponsive male. It was at this time I was informed
this was a mass casualty event. I was later told that other citizens who were transported to hospitals had died. I
was informed that a security guard allegedly told a staff in the medical tent that someone had injected an unknown
substance into his neck before he went unconscious. I declared the location a crime scene and ordered homicide
investigators to go to the hospitals and to the scene.

Before me, the undersigned authority, this day, personally appeared Larry J. Satterwhite, an EXECUTIVE
ASSISTANT POLICE CHIEF believed by me to be a credible person, who after being sworn upon his oath, did
depose and say:
My name is Larry J. Satterwhite. My payroll number is I am an EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT POLICE CHIEF
and I am assigned to the Field and Support Operations on the Day shift. My office telephone number is
This statement is intended to provide as much detail as possible regarding my role, observations, interactions,
decisions, and actions concerning the Travis Scott event which took place on November 5th, 2021, at NRG Park
carrying the address 1 Nrg Park, Houston, Texas. The park complex and grounds are located west of Fannin
Street, north of the South Loop Interstate 610, east of Kirby Drive between the South Loop Interstate 610 and
Westridge, east of Lantern Point between Westridge and Murworth, east of Main Street between Murworth and
McNee, north of McNee between Main Street and Kirby Drive, and south of La Concha between Kirby Drive and
Fannin Street.
My role for this event was to serve as the highest ranking HPD official in command of the on-duty Houston Police
personnel assigned to work the event on that day. In the days prior to the event, I participated in several meetings
pertaining to event operations. On Thursday, October 28th, 2021, at 2:00pm, I logged into a Microsoft Teams
meeting organized by Michael McCall with NRG Park. Mr. Seyth Boardman, representing the producer of the
event, Live Nation, discussed their plans for event operations to include the footprint of the event, times of
operation, and security for the event. There were numerous personnel from HPD and other public and private
entities logged in to the call and that information should be available through the host, Mr. McCall. On Monday,
November 1st, 2021, I met with our HPD Special Operations team and the security director for NRG Park, Ryan
Boros, in the NRG Park Blue Lot to listen to the plan from Mr. Boros on how attendees to the event would arrive
and enter into the main event area.
On the morning of Wednesday, November 3rd, 2021, I attended an internal meeting at 1200 Travis in the Chief's
conference room on the 16th floor where Lieutenant David Sauer, over the Special Operations Division Special
Events Unit, provided a briefing on Live Nation's plan for operations and security at the event. Later in the
afternoon at 2:00pm on Wednesday, November 3rd, 2021, I attended a meeting held at the NRG Center located
on the NRG Park complex. Attendees to that meeting that I can recall were HPD Executive Assistant Chief
James Jones, Assistant Chief Daryn Edwards, Commander James Skelton, Lieutenant David Sauer, Lieutenant
Clayton Steele, Sergeant Glenn West, Sergeant TJ Riley, and Sergeant Mark Myskowski. Representing Live
Nation in attendance were Seyth Boardman and Marty Wallgren. Representing NRG Park were Michael McCall,
Leah Mastaglio, and Ryan Boros. Representing Contemporary Services Corporation (CSC) were Chris Laney
and possibly Joann Patrick. In that meeting, Mr. Seyth Boardman discussed the overall layout, planned
operations, and their staffing plans to include both off duty law enforcement and private security. Mr. Boardman
specifically discussed security and crowd management around the stage area as well as the improved design of
barricade around the stage and into the spectator foot prints to protect concert attendees from crush. He stated
he was bringing in specialized security personnel, trained and experienced specifically in concert crowd
management. He stated those personnel as well other private security personnel and off duty extra employment
police would have the responsibility of managing the crowd during the concert and they would be deployed around
the stage and throughout the planned sterile aisle paths. In addition, Mr. Boardman discussed the plan for initial
entry into the event venue as well as their plans for COVID 19 testing and how the additional security staffing was
intended to keep the event attendees from rushing across the grounds in an effort to be first to the merchandise
area. In all, Mr. Boardman described several hundred security personnel from multiple private security agencies
that would be deployed to manage and secure the event.
On Thursday, November 4th, 2021, I attended a walk-through of the event at NRG Park and led by Mr. Seyth
Boardman. There were approximately 100 persons in attendance from HPD, HFD, NRG Park, Live Nation, CSC,
APEX Security, and several other involved entities though I cannot recall, specifically, everyone in attendance.
That night, Thursday, November 4th, 2021, I returned to NRG Park as I had been alerted earlier that Mr. Travis

Scott intended to go through his set to test sound and timing. The concern was that this information may become
known to the public and possibly draw crowds. Mr. Scott did eventually go through some of his music at
approximately 11:30pm that evening but there were no issues reported to me.
On Friday morning, November 5th, 2021, I reported to work at 1200 Travis. My plan was to arrive at NRG Park in
the early afternoon following the completion of unrelated responsibilities to include a fundraiser for SPO William
Jeffrey who was killed in the line of duty and Sergeant Mike Vance who was severely wounded in the same
incident. Executive Assistant Chief James Jones accompanied me and we had just arrived at the fundraiser at
our Houston Police Officers Union offices at 1602 State Street before noon when I received calls from both Mr.
Seyth Boardman and Lieutenant Clay Steele advising me there had been challenges early in the day with event
attendees rushing the security gates toward the merchandise area and there were different groups attempting to
scale the perimeter fencing in order to get into the event. I informed EAC Jones and we quickly thanked the
fundraiser organizers and teams and proceeded directly to NRG Park in my vehicle to assess. We arrived on the
NRG Park property at approximately 12:30pm and proceeded to the primary HPD command post located in the
NRG Park Orange Lot. The Orange Lot is located west of Fannin Street and east of the Astro Arena. Positioned
directly next to the HPD command post was the HFD command post to ensure constant communication and
coordination between both response agencies. There I met with HPD leadership and learned that hundreds of
attendees had rushed the gates in an effort to get to the merchandise tents first but things were now under
control. I was told the current and on-going challenge was that groups of persons who presumably did not have
tickets to the event were forming outside NRG Park property in different places along the perimeter and were
looking for places to get into the event.
EAC Jones and I then proceeded to the Purple Lot to meet with Mr. Boardman. The Purple Lot is where the event
security and equipment areas were staged. The Purple Lot is located on the north side of McNee between Kirby
to the east and Main Street to the west. Mr. Boardman confirmed there were a lot of challenges earlier and the
current issue was people who likely did not have a ticket and trying to get into the event. We began to drive
around the perimeter to assess the area and quickly discovered that one of the primary locations where people
were trying to scale or go through fences was at Westridge immediately west of Kirby. The group was trying to
defeat the fencing on the north side of Westridge and into the Green Lot located between Westridge to the south,
Kirby to the east, Lantern Point to the west, and Murworth to the north. The Green Lot for this event was serving
as the point of entry to the Yellow Lot and where ticketed attendees were confirmed and security checked. It is
also the location of the largest and main merchandise tent. The persons trying to get through or over the fencing
on Westridge were mixed in with legitimate ticket holders who were walking east on Westridge toward the Blue
Lot entrance where they were supposed to enter. The problem was exacerbated by the traffic flow north on Kirby
from the 610 Loop and west on Westridge making it very difficult to stop groups from forming and defeating the
fencing. Therefore I directed all traffic to be diverted from traveling north on Kirby unless they were event
attendees. Event attendee traffic was routed directly into the Blue Lot located east of Kirby and south of the NRG
Stadium and Astrodome. This allowed for greater control of the perimeter fencing on Westridge.
The bulk of the on-duty police personnel, four field forces scheduled for the event, reported for duty at
approximately 12:00pm. Police officer squads were positioned around the perimeter to supplement the extra job
police personnel and the private security. Throughout the rest of the day, the challenges were in providing
security around the perimeter of the event as individuals and groups continued to attempt entry at any weak areas
that could be exploited. There were several arrests made for criminal trespass however the overwhelming
majority of people trying to gain illegal entry were turned away. Until the aftermath of the concert later that night,
the most significant injury reported to me was a young male who had attempted to scale a fence to gain entry and
broke his leg when he fell off of the fence. Within the Yellow Lot where the two performer stages, rides, food and
attractions were located, there were very few issues reported though there were tens of thousands of people now
scanned in and enjoying the events.
Discussions were had with internal HPD leadership, Mr. Boardman, and other private security personnel. It was
believed that the attempts to illegally gain entry would significantly increase later in the evening and at night when
visibility was at its lowest. Private security and off duty extra job personnel had the responsibility of security and
crowd management at the concert and around the stage meaning the on-duty field forces would be the primary
deterrent against individuals and groups illegally entering on the property.

Narrative
At approximately 8:40pm I moved into the Yellow Lot where all the event attractions were located. The Yellow Lot
is located south of McNee, West of Lantern Point, North of Murworth, and east of Main. The primary attractions
in the Yellow Lot were two performer stages positioned along the east side of Main with the front of the stages
where the artists performed before the audiences facing east. The secondary stage was located further south and
was the location for performances in the afternoon by artists not to include Mr. Travis Scott or his special guest,
Drake. The primary stage was located north of the secondary stage. To the north of the primary stage, south of
McNee, and east of Main was the midway where many of the rides, food, and attractions were located. My initial
location in the Yellow Lot prior to the start of the concert by Mr. Scott was north of the primary stage along the
southern perimeter of the midway. With me were Commanders Thomas Hardin, James Skelton, and Keith
Seafous. Also with me were Sergeants TJ Riley, Dennis Gonzales, and Nick Matson. Houston Fire Assistant
Chief Isaac Garcia was also with us.
We could see the crowd gathered for the concert. There did not appear to be any problems at this time with
everyone seeming to be standing in place and waiting for the concert to begin. At approximately 9:00pm, music
began playing and Mr. Scott came on stage performing. The crowd immediately became extremely loud and
jumping up and down. At 9:07pm, I received a call from Mr. Boardman who was up at the stage and in the moat
area separating the crowd from the stage. I had to move even farther into the midway in order to understand him.
He informed me that a section of the barricade in place to keep the crowd back from the stage had broken. He
said he was working on it and it was holding for now but if it did fail, he was going to shut the concert down. I told
him I understood and would inform my team that the concert might be shut down by Mr. Boardman with Live
Nation if the barricade failed. I then gathered Commanders Hardin, Skelton, and Seafous, as well as Sergeants
Riley, Gonzales, and Matson, and HFD Chief Garcia behind a large statue attraction of Mr. Scott so that we could
communicate effectively. The music and crowd cheers were so loud, that it was very difficult to hear anything on
the radio or phone. I informed them that a section of barricade was malfunctioning but holding for now. I told
them that Live Nation and Mr. Boardman specifically stated he would shut down the show if it did fail. I believe I
also communicated this via radio.
We continued to discuss possibilities when I received a call from Chief Troy Finner at 9:20pm. Again I had to step
far into the midway to hear the Chief. I told him about the possible early shut down by Live Nation if the barricade
were to fail and that I was going to make my way up to the stage area and assess the barricade in question. He
indicated he was immediately leaving and coming to the event to help. I and Commanders Hardin, Skelton, and
Seafous as well as Sergeants Riley, Gonzales, and Matson began making our way to the back of the stage where
we could enter into the area immediately around the front of the stage. We entered in from the north side of the
stage and made our way to the front and around the south side where we met with Mr. Boardman. I could see it
was a section of the barricade that separates the crowds from the secure areas around the stage and aisles
projecting eastward and designed to allow security and emergency access to different areas of the crowd. This
particular section was immediately south of the stage and had separated by approximately two inches on each
side when it should be connected to the other portions of the barricade with no gaps. I could see the section had
been secured tightly to the adjacent sections with heavy duty tow straps used for pulling vehicles. Mr. Boardman
pointed out that they had fastened a piece of tape over the bottom foot beams of the barricade sections as a fast
way to visibly determine if the joints were continuing to separate which could lead to failure. However, the tape
remained in place with no further separation. The security personnel he had assigned to that section were
monitoring but it appeared the barricade was going to hold. I could see the front of the crowd at the barricades
from that position. It was a massive crowd but everyone seemed to be celebrating and responding to Mr. Scott's
performance. We left Mr. Boardman and walked back to the northern most area where we first entered from
behind the stage. The music and crowd were so loud even in that area that almost nothing could be heard on the
radio and communication had to be face to face and very close. We discussed the concert and possible
scenarios. I informed the team that Chief Finner was coming to the event and directed Commander Seafous to go
pick him up when he arrived and bring him to our position. Minutes after Commander Seafous left, Commander
Hardin ran to me and said the command post was reporting three persons were receiving CPR and the personnel
in the media towers were afraid as people were climbing the tower. We immediately moved back toward the front
of the stage to find Mr. Boardman, see what was going on, and shut down the event. Commander Hardin stated
he knew where he was as we made our way to the front of the stage. I remember seeing someone on the ground
and attended to by medics. At this time another male I believe to be one of the private security employees caught

my attention and directed me east for help. I followed him east down the security aisles. We moved the full
length of the aisle east then turned south around the south section of the media tower before turning back east
again. Immediately upon turning east again, I observed a female on the ground being given CPR by another
female who appeared to be a concert goer. I knelt beside her and she said she could not continue. I immediately
began CPR on the female. She was completely unconscious and her lips were blue. Within only a few seconds
of me giving CPR, a medic assigned to the event appeared and said we have to move her now. Commanders
Skelton and Hardin and Sergeants Riley, Gonzales, and Matson had followed me in. We immediately lifted her on
a red medical backboard and began moving east. We came to the end of the security aisle and barricade and
placed the female patient on the backboard on the top rail of the barricade. I jumped over into the main body of
the crowd along with Sergeants Riley and Matson as well as Commander Skelton. We were moving the female
patient on the backboard with her feet east and her head west. As we made it over and began taking hold of the
backboard, someone pulled the backboard off the rail and the section where the female's head and torso were
position dipped. The female patient slipped off the board head first and into the rail and ground. We quickly
picked her back up and began moving her east through the crowd. We made it out of the main part of the crowd
and to the concession area on the far east of the lot. We turned left but then immediately turned back to the right
and south toward the medical tent. We arrived at the medical tent and met with Dr. Lars Thestrup who is also a
SWAT Tactical Medic. He was treating persons in the medical tent and directed us to set her down. I gave him
Narcan and he administered it with no response from the female patient. At that time, I could do no more there.
The music was still going and I knew we had to get the concert shut down.
I quickly left the medical tent and broke through the crowd on the south side of the stage. I jumped over the
barricade and ran back around to the north side of the stage and then behind the stage. I made my way to the
control area where three men were running the technical portion of the show and speaking directly with Mr. Travis
Scott. Sergeant Nick Matson was with me. The time was 10:00pm as I looked at my watch. I told the three men
we had three people receiving CPR and we had to shut the show down immediately. One of the males responded
by saying "but they're not dead". I yelled they might and we had to shut down. One of the males said they would
tell Mr. Scott and he would come on stage and shut it down but they needed time. I did not want to risk a panic or
a riot and make things worse. I told them I needed him to shut it down the right way so that the crowd would
peacefully disperse. I told them five minutes and they said they needed more time. I told them it had to be shut
down by 10:10pm. I then moved away in order to communicate with the command post and informed all
personnel the concert was being shut down and to begin preparations.
At the time I made it to the technical control area to shut the concert down, I was unaware that Commander
Hardin had specifically told Mr. Boardman nearly twenty minutes earlier that we had three persons under CPR
and to shut it down. Furthermore, when I ran out of the medical tent to shut the concert down, I was unaware that
Commander Hardin had called Mr. Boardman while we were in the tent and that Mr. Boardman had told him he
had spoken with Mr. Scott, told him about the persons getting CPR, and to shut down and that Mr. Scott had told
him he would shut down the right way by 10:00pm.
At 10:08pm by my watch I told the men in the technical control tent he had to be done within two minutes and they
said he was in his last song closing out. The song went at least a minute past the 10:10pm shutoff but he did end
and the crowd began to disperse from the concert area. I am not aware of any further issues in the concert area
but I do remember hearing on the radio that some of the crowd was taking merchandise from one of the
merchandise tents as they dispersed until officers were able to step in and halt that activity.
Once the concert ended, I assembled the law enforcement personnel that were assigned to the back stage area
and sent the majority of them to the front to assist with crowd dispersal and persons who might need help. I then
located Chief Troy Finner who had arrived on scene and updated him on what we had done. We then walked
back to the medical tent and it was there that Dr. Thestrup informed me we lost several people. An MCI had been
declared and numerous ambulances were staged behind the medical tent to transport patients to the hospital. I
helped with clearing the exit onto main so the ambulances could move patients quickly. I then joined Chief Finner,
HFD Chief Sam Pena, City of Houston Health Director, Dr. David Persse, Harris County Judge Elena Hidalgo,
and possibly other officials at our HPD command post back at the Orange Lot. There we worked out a plan for a
family reunification center to be opened at the Wyndham Hotel at 8686 Kirby. I directed Sergeants Mathew Simon
and John Hekemian to assemble a team and report to all the hospitals where patients from the event were

transported to begin gathering information and contacts. I contacted Assistant Chief Belinda Null over the HPD
Criminal Investigations Command to direct Homicide Investigators to the hospitals and to the scene. Chief Finner
wanted to preserve any potential evidence in case this became a criminal investigation. I then reached out to
Commander Hardin, who had recently assumed command of the HPD Narcotics Division and directed him to
bring in his Narcotics Overdose Investigations squad on the possibility that narcotics might have been distributed
at the event.
Upon directing all the resources detailed above, I moved to the Family Reunification Center at the Wyndham Hotel
to assist wherever possible. There, I observed Lieutenant Julie Pleasant and her team from Victims Services set
up and begin helping arriving family members. Officers were assigned outside the hotel to assist anyone arriving
in search of a family member or friend. Sometime around 5:00am on Saturday morning, November 6th, I
departed the area.
I am not assigned a body worn camera nor are the three commanders who were with me during the concert. I
believe Sergeant Gonzales does have a body worn camera assigned to him. Sergeants Riley and Matson might
have been assigned body worn cameras but they will have to be contacted for confirmation and if any video was
captured.

WITNESS STATEMENT
Before me, the undersigned authority, this day, personally appeared James G. Jones, an EXECUTIVE
ASSISTANT POLICE CHIEF.
My name is James G. Jones. My payroll number is I am an EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT POLICE CHIEF,
and I am assigned to the Investigative & Special Operations Division on the Day shift. My office telephone number
.
On November 3, 2021, I participated in an internal meeting at 1200 Travis in the Chief's conference room on the
16th floor. Lieutenant David Sauer, assigned to the Special Operations Division Special Events Unit, provided a
briefing on Live Nation's plan for operations and security at the event. As I recall, there were still concerns about
the security that Live Nation would be providing for the event.
At 2:00pm on Wednesday, November 3rd, 2021, I attended a meeting held at the NRG Center located on the
NRG Park complex. At this meeting there were numerous personnel from HPD, HFD, and other personnel
representing NRG, Contemporary Services Corporation and Live Nation. A more detailed list of attendees is
provided in statements by Executive Assistant Chief Satterwhite and Assistant Chief Hardin. During the meeting,
Mr. Seyth Boardman provided information regarding the security that would be provided for at the event. Of note,
it was specifically outlined that on-duty Houston Police officers would primarily be responsible for securing the
perimeter and assisting with the crowds as they lined up to enter the event. The security coordinator, Mr.
Boardman, stated his company would be providing specially training personnel to handle the crowd and in
particular the front stage.
On November 5, 2021, I was informed by Commander Skelton that several hundred people had rushed through

the gates at approximately 0900 hours. Commander Skelton stated that they now had it under control. At
approximately 1130 hours, Executive Assistant Chief Satterwhite received notification that there were still
challenges at the event with the merchandise tent and with people trying to scale the fences and get into the
event. Executive Assistant Chief Satterwhite and I went to the NRG complex, arriving at approximately 1230
hours. We were informed of the issues taking place with the primary concern being persons attempting to
unlawfully enter the event.
Executive Assistant Chief Satterwhite and I met with Mr. Boardman to discuss the event status. It was confirmed
that there were a lot of difficulties early, but the primary issue at this time was the persons attempting to breach
the fences and enter the event. We drove around the perimeter of the event and began to deploy on-duty
resources to deter those attempting to breach the perimeter. Throughout the day, the major challenge was
providing security around the perimeter to deter people from attempting to breach the event. There were also
officers inside the event that would detain those that did manage to breach the event. The most significant injury
that was reported to me until I departed at approximately 1600 hours was a broken ankle suffered by a person
jumping the fence.
Prior to Mr. Boardman leaving our inspection of the perimeter, we all discussed that the perimeter would become
more of a concern due to the darkness. It was iterated that HPD would continue to control the perimeter while
event security would handle crowd control.
At approximately 1500 hours, Chief Finner arrived at NRG. At some point, we went back to the security or
performers trailers. Chief Finner went inside one of the trailers. He was gone for less than five minutes. Chief
Finner expressed to me that he was very concerned with the pop-up events after the concert revolving around
Travis Scott. These pop-up event would potentially drain HPD resources because large crowds tended to follow
him to these unscheduled events. Chief Finner wanted to make sure Mr. Scott understood the problems these
unscheduled events caused.

WITNESS STATEMENT
Date: 11/17/2021Time: 1:57 PM
Before me, the undersigned authority, this day, personally appeared Michael L. Skillern, an ASSISTANT POLICE
CHIEF believed by me to be a credible person, who after being sworn upon his oath, did depose and say:
My name is Michael L. Skillern, My payroll number is and my badge number is. I am a ASSISTANT
POLICE CHIEF and I am assigned to the Support Services Command Division on the Day shift.
On November 5th at about 0630 I arrived at NRG and clocked in. My position was as the highest ranking officer
working the extra job for the event. My job was to ensure all of the extra job officers were in their appropriate
positions and fulfilling their expected roles. I did not have a BWC at any time during the day.
I spent approximately the first 2.5 hours driving around the property, looking at the exterior and interior
construction, barriers and layout.
Around 09:00 I was at the entrance to the Covid screening area, waiting for the gates to open. I remember
Suppl No
1490724-21 0092
Narrative
standing next to Seth (with Live Nation) when he pointed to a fence just past the screening area and said
something to the effect of "if they tear that fence down I's no big deal, I don't really need it", as though he knew
there was about to be a rush.
Behind the gates I saw, while they were waiting for the event to open, the people in line were tossing shoes and
open water bottles back and forth at each other. What surprised me is that they were only doing this to
themselves, not directing anything toward the police or park employees. Almost as though it was part of the
experience.
Sometime after 09:00 they opened the gates and I watched a large group of attendees rush past the Covid
screeners and begin running to the main event area. During this first rush I remember two female attendees were
injured. It appeared that bicycle racks which were used to create lanes had fallen or been pushed over and landed
on them. Someone, I believe it may have been Lt. Cruz, called for medical to make the scene. Medical was called
and both were treated. I believe they were both transported to the medical area but unsure what there
dispositions were after that. Lt. Cruz did not have a BWC.
Following the first rush, the subsequent attendees approaching the Covid screening area were orderly, provided
the screeners with the required information and appeared to be much calmer than the first group large group. I
called Ryan Boros (with NRG) about the mess that remained where the large group had been staged. He advised
housekeeping was on the way to clean it up and I also watched as other employees began to move the bicycle
racks back into their original position to form an orderly line.
Knowing the next area of concern was going to be the main merchandise tent, Lt. Cruz and I made our way there.
We were in position at the front of the tent when the ticket/security gates opened and people began to rush to our
location. If they rushed past those areas like they did the Covid screeners, I was not in a position to see it. I
watched as attendees both hurdled the bicycle racks and pushed them out of the way to clear a straighter path to
the front. In no time the entire cue filled with people waiting to purchase merchandise. I was there for a while
monitoring the crowd, and saw them continually attempting to push the front set of barriers (bicycle racks) closer
to the point of sale. Officers were in the front area, along with security guards pushing back on the barriers. At one
point I was also in the middle of the merchandise area barricades pushing back in an attempt to help the officers.
Again, I took note of the fact that although a bit hostile with each other, and all attempting to get to the front of the
line, none of the participants seemed to be angry with or hostile toward the police or event staff. In fact, I
interacted with several in the line and they were all surprisingly pleasant and respectful.
I spent the next few hours with Lt. Cruz driving around the perimeter of the venue, attempting to dissuade people
from jumping the fences. At no point did either of us arrest or detain anyone.
At one point we made our way back to the merchandise tent where a Mr. Michael Brown, who claimed to be head
of security for Travis Scott, told me he could get the crowd there under control. I gave him a bullhorn, he climbed
on a chair and began to address the crowd. He told them "if you are a true fan, then you know who I am". He was
able to get the attendees to back up, allowing event staff to reset the cue lines and make it a more orderly
process.
Somewhere around this time Commander Lentini arrived and clocked into the extra job. Lt. Cruz and I went to the
purple lot and picked him up. While continuing to patrol the exterior, I heard mention on the radio of several
suspects being in custody near the VIP entrance. Lt. Cruz and I made our way to that scene. I observed several
officers, maybe 4 or 5, each with a suspect in custody. I remember one being Sergeant Cole but cannot
remember the names of the other officers. Once it became clear the scene was under control, Commander
Lentini, Lt. Cruz and I left.
Sometime, I think it was after this, Lt. Cruz, Commander Lentini and myself went to the "inside police office" near
the BHP entrance to the stadium. This is where the officers were taking juvenile suspects so their parents could
more easily retrieve them. We ensured they were being handled according to policy and admonished the officers
inside not to use any of the holding rooms and not to treat it like a jail.
Lt. Cruz, Commander Lentini and I then resumed our perimeter patrol.
Around 15:00 or so I was contacted by an officer on my cell phone, Kenneth Bigger of Central Patrol, who was

stationed near the Southwest corner of the property. He and his group had just apprehended 5 trespassers and
he asked how to process them. Lt. Cruz, Commander Lentini and I then made our way to that scene. Once there,
I walked out and found an extra officer with a patrol car (I can't recall his name) at the intersection of
Main/Murworth and asked him if he could help transport. He followed me into the Southwest corner of the event
where he assisted the other officers with the 5 prisoners. Together they transported them to the Purple lot and
began to process them. While officers were handling the prisoners I noticed a large group of people across
Murthworth from the event. I walked over and talked to them. They asked what would happen if they jumped the
fence to get in, to which I advised them they would be arrested for trespassing and go to county jail. The next
question was "but you can't catch all of us can you"? Some of the group laughed a bit, then they began to walk
away. Again, as with all of my interactions during the day, even with this group that had considered jumping the
fence to get in, I found them respectful and not adversarial with law enforcement or event staff.
At some point I as contacted by I believe Seth with Live Nation, who asked me to contact another event person
(Frank Perez) about additional security in the area behind the stages. I called him, the Lt. Cruz and I met him
behind the main stage where he asked if we could have two extra officers assigned to that area. He asked for one
assigned to the entrance of the artist area and one for Travis Scott's trailer entrance. I advised him I would see
what we had available and would get people if we could. Lt. Cruz eventually took care of this request after I left
the event.
Shortly after this, about 1630 hours, I went to the Purple lot (where the extra job officers were based out of),
checked in with the extra job officers working there, then left the event for the evening. Commander Lentini and
Lieutenants Cruz, Meeler and Tolls remained.
I returned the next day, Saturday the 6th at around 0700 hours. I oversaw the extra job officers as hey assisted in
securing the area while CSU finished the scene. I left around 1600 hours.

WITNESS STATEMENT
Date: 6/8/2022
Time: 2:04 PM
*At the time of this event, I was an Assistant Chief and assigned to the department's Homeland Security
Command. On January 15, 2022, I returned to the rank of Commander and am assigned to the Airport - Hobby
Division.
As the Assistant Chief over the department's Homeland Security Command, I have Command responsibility for
special events in the city which involve on duty HPD staffing and response. I was asked to submit a statement
with regard to my observations and involvement in the department's staffing and response to the Astroworld music
festival which featured Travis Scott as the headliner.
In preparation for this particular event, I participated in meetings with NRG and Live Nation personnel beginning in
June 2021 along with members of our Special Operations Division and Tactical Operations Division. I recall
discussing at these meetings along with the other members of our department our concerns with past Travis Scott
events in Houston, specifically, his previous Astroworld concert at NRG in November 2019 in which additional
HPD resources had to be called in to assist venue security and extra job officers. While I do not have personal
knowledge of the 2019 event I was briefed on what it involved; traffic and crowd behavior being of biggest
concern. This particular artist along with his promoters encourage fans to engage in aggressive behavior, namely,
rushing the stage while he performs. In addition, his retail merchandise is in high demand, selling aftermarket for
a much higher price than paid at his events which encourages fans to rush merchandise tables in order to get in

Narrative
on this opportunity. We advised the venue planning team that because of these past events and our concerns
with public safety, we were going to bring on duty officers to supplement the extra job and private security plan.
Leading up to the 2021 festival, HPD put together a security plan that would address both vehicle and crowd
ingress and egress for the event, which included working with the venue to design staging and ingress points to
more safely accommodate the number of fans that would be in attendance at the event, especially during the
opening of the gates each day. Our plan included traffic posts, crowd control, mounted patrol, and tactical assets
which involved members of our Tactical Operations, Special Operations, and Traffic Enforcement Divisions. In
one of our planning meetings, held virtually, I recall the venue was having difficulty staffing the inside of the event
with extra job officers. The venue decided to match the pay of on-duty officers' overtime rates to recruit more
police to work the event. In our final meeting before the event, myself, Executive Assistant Chief (EAC) Larry
Satterwhite, Executive Assistant Chief James Jones, Commander James Skelton, and Lieutenant Clay Steele
presented our plan to the event coordinators. At this meeting the event planners told us of some additional
measures they were taking for the event involving a health screening area. They also did not yet have a final
number of available extra job officers for the event or private security which was concerning to us. Nonetheless
our plan included what we deemed to be a good number of on-duty personnel to address any issues that might
arise. This final meeting occurred on Wednesday, November 3, 2021 and was to involve a site walk through but
bad weather moved the walk through to the next day; Thursday, November 4, 2021. All total, on duty and extra
job officers at the site throughout each festival day would see over 500 police officers in addition to private armed
and un-armed security.
I was unable to attend the Thursday walk through because I was instructed by EAC Jones to oversee the Travis
Scott charity softball event at Minute Maid Park in case there were any issues. This event had problems with
unruly crowd behavior, including the rushing of merchandise tables, the breaching of secured areas including the
clubhouse and dugouts, and crowd fights. We already planned for issues due to past problems with his events as
mentioned above and had SRG on site in addition to the 40 extra job officers. Even with these additional
resources we asked for some additional support from area patrol stations mainly due to the crowd at the
merchandise area which we eventually shut down. I specifically recall one of Travis Scott's employees coming up
to me as I was monitoring the merchandise area and asking me why there were so many police officers around.
I'll never forget his comment. "Why do you have so many police officers here? Do you have a problem with
Travis Scott's fans?" I told him that we just wanted to make sure everyone was safe.
On the first day of the Astroworld festival, Friday, November 5, 2021, I arrived at NRG around 10am and reported
to the Incident Command Post which we had set up in the Orange Lot for the event. Concert goers had already
breached the health screening area in the Blue Lot and had rushed into the Green Lot where they were being held
up by security in the ticketing entry area. Medical workers were requested for injured parties as a result of this
breach and we had numerous officers on site, including SRG and Mounted Patrol. Soon after, the gates opened
and concertgoers made a mad dash to the merchandise tent located on the north side of the Green Lot, knocking
down bike racks and other crowd control measures in order to get to the front of the line. Not long after this
happened, I grabbed one of the department's marked Polaris utility vehicles (UTV) and along with Commander
James Skelton and Commander Thomas Hardin went to get a better look at the crowd. There were a large group
of fans who were not inside the event that had gathered on the north side of the stadium at McNee and Kirby. We
went to see what their intentions were and if they needed assistance in finding the entrance area, we could point
them in the right direction. I informed them that they need to head toward the blue lot on the south side of the
stadium and they commenced to walking south on Kirby. Their walk became a run and a large number of them
began climbing over and crawling under the fence that lined the west side of Kirby between McNee & Murworth
running in the direction of the Texans practice facility. While addressing this issue I observed that Commander
Hardin was placing one of the fence jumpers in custody. I assisted and we placed the suspect in the police UTV
where he was transported to the Purple Lot to the arrest processing area. Afterwards, I returned to the command
post area in the Orange Lot in order to have rollcall with the SRG officers reporting for duty at noon. EAC
Satterwhite and EAC Jones were also on site at this time. After addressing the officers, I went to the intersection
of Kirby and Westridge to deal with some traffic concerns which involved us redirecting traffic down the South
Loop WB service road. We wanted to keep Kirby shut down to NB traffic from the loop but needed to give area
residents access to their apartments located on the southwest side of NRG. The breaches at different points in the
perimeter were continuing and each time we were made aware, on duty units were sent to assist. Commander
Hardin and I drove in the Polaris to the Papa's BBQ at McNee and Main on the NW corner of the Yellow Lot to
meet with EAC Jones and EAC Satterwhite who were having a lunch meeting with Syeth, the security director for
Suppl No
1490724-21 0092
Narrative
this event. We discussed our concerns with the crowd behavior and perimeter breaches including concerns with
persons inside the event footprint who had not been properly screened. Syeth informed us that Houston was the
only city in which they experienced this type of crowd behavior at Travis Scott events. Chief Satterwhite took a
call from Chief Finner while we were meeting with Syeth and informed us afterward that Chief Finner was on his
way to the site. We broke from this meeting and headed out to meet Chief Finner.
Once Chief Finner arrived, we drove him in the marked Polaris to see the overall event footprint including the
stage areas. Chief Finner wanted to go meet with Travis Scott's security person behind the main stage so we
stopped the Polaris at the McNee side entrance to the Yellow Lot close to the larger stage where Travis Scott
would later perform. After Chief Finner returned from this meeting, we drove over to the Purple Lot to show him
the event security/NRG command post and arrest processing area. There were a number of security personnel
that were concerned with this event continuing on after all the day's problems so we gathered together to further
discuss. Myself, Chief Finner, Commander Hardin, EAC Satterwhite, EAC Jones, Commander Skelton,
Commander Mark Lentini (Extra Job), and Assistant Chief Michael Skillern (Extra Job Coordinator) gathered
outside the front of the arrest processing area to discuss the plan going forward. I am not sure who else was a
part of this conversation but it was at this moment that I stated, "I need to ask a serious question. We have the
True Blue Gala tonight at Tillman Fertitta's residence and need to decide who is attending that and who is staying
here." It had been previously decided that EAC Satterwhite would work the Astroworld festival on the first night
(Friday night) and I, along with Chief Skillern and Commander Ron Borza would handle the festival on Saturday.
Due to the crowd behavior leading up to the concert on Friday I announced that I would stay and tell my wife to
turn around as she was driving downtown that afternoon to attend the Gala with me later that evening. The
Houston Police Foundation True Blue Gala is a once a year event which raises a large amount of money for the
department to purchase items that cannot be purchased with budgeted funds. The previous two years there was
no event due to the pandemic and as a large amount of these items benefit the department through the Homeland
Security Command Divisions such as Tactical Operations, Special Operations, and Air Support, I was told that I
should attend the Gala. EAC Satterwhite told us as a group that he would stay at the festival with some of the on
duty commanders. Commander Lentini and Lieutenant Manual Cruz handled the extra job side so Chief Skillern
could attend the Gala. After we broke from this discussion, I headed back to the Orange Lot so I could get my
police vehicle to drive back to 1200 Travis. I needed to complete FBI clearance paperwork for a JTTF meeting I
was asked to attend that would be occurring the following week. I left the festival site sometime after 3pm as the
paperwork needed to be at the FBI by 4pm.
I attended the True Blue Gala later that evening along with some of the other members of the Executive Staff
including Chief Finner, EAC Jones, and AC Skillern. During the Gala, we received a group text from EAC
Satterwhite about 845pm that all was well at the festival other than the breaches that had been occurring on and
off throughout the day. Sometime afterward, I saw Chief Finner rush out of the Gala and I told my wife that it was
time to go. I drove her back to Travis to her car and headed back out to the festival site speaking with EAC
Satterwhite on the way who explained to me what they were dealing with. I do not recall what time I arrived back
out at the site but it was sometime after 10pm. I drove to the Orange Lot to our HPD command post and since
traffic was deadlocked all around the venue it took me a while to get there. I checked in and met with the
commanders and chiefs on site to see how I could help. By that time, Assistant Chief Ban Tien had also come to
the scene to help. The rest of the night was spent getting information to Chief Finner for a press conference,
making sure our officers were getting relief, and assisting in securing the area around the stage in what was now
deemed a crime scene. I also contacted Commander Dan Harris with the Victim Services Division in order to
have them make the scene to set up a reunification area for families of those who could not find their loved ones.
We set this up at the Sheraton hotel at Kirby and the South Loop. Once I realized there was nothing else I could
do, I left to go home about 4am.
I personally did not take any law enforcement action in response to this tragedy nor did I observe any law
enforcement action or medical care being offered as I was not onsite after about 3pm until I returned sometime
after 10pm. As such, I cannot offer any information on what occurred and what actions were taken by first
responders on the scene to include any medical care given. I am also unaware as to what would have been
captured by Body Worn Camera.

My name is Belinda G. Null. My payroll number is I am an ASSISTANT POLICE CHIEF and I am
assigned to the Criminal Investigations Command Division on Day shift.
I was assigned as the Incident Commander in the Department Operations Center located at 1200 Travis. I was
on duty from 1800 hours until 0200 hours. At approximately 2145 (estimate) I recall hearing a female officers
voice on the radio advising that there was one or more persons down in the crowd. I do not recall the exact
transmission but believe CPR may have been mentioned but can't be 100% sure. I recall hearing a male voice
advise the female officer not to enter the crowd as it would then become an officer rescue situation. I believe the
female officer got on the air again and advised of people still down in the crowd. The female officer was again
instructed not to enter the crowd.
At approximately 0000 hours I was contacted by EAC Satterwhite advising Homicide was requested to the scene
as it was suspected that someone had injected something (possible narcotic) into multiple people in the crowd. I
contacted the Homicide desk and coordinated the response to the scene at NRG as well as area hospitals to
locate victims. I additionally requested the Narcotics OD squad to respond but did not coordinate their response
directly. I believe Commander Hardin handled that. I don't recall when I became aware it was a mass casualty
event but knew sometime between the female officer's radio transmission and 0000 hours that multiple people
were receiving medical attention based on radio transmissions and social media posts. Once I received the
request for Homicide response I focused on directing manpower to the various locations.
The DOC shut down operations at 0200 hours and at this point I knew we had multiple decedents and some on
life support in local hospitals.

Before me, the undersigned authority, this day, personally appeared Thomas E. Hardin, a POLICE COMMANDER
believed by me to be a credible person, who after being sworn upon his oath, did depose and say:
My name is Thomas E. Hardin. My payroll number is I am a POLICE COMMANDER and I am assigned
to the Narcotics Division on day shift. My office telephone number is
The "Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival" was scheduled for November 5-6 2021. I was assigned as the
commander of the Special Operations Division until October 23rd, 2021, when I was transferred to Narcotics
Division. As the commander of Special Operations Division, I was involved in the planning of the event starting
back in June of 2021 and continuing all the way up to the weekend of the event.
The first planning meeting was on June 22, 2021 at the NRG facility. At this meeting, my team and I were
introduced to Seyth Boardman. Seyth was the director of security for Live Nation during this event. Over the next
several months my team and I had many conversations and a positive working relationship with Seyth about the
security staffing, security posture and delineation of work. Seyth was our primary point of contact for all private
security issues related to the festival. During our planning process we discussed many contingency plans. When
discussing the contingency plan of shutting down the festival for any worst case scenario or public safety threat,
we were told by live nation production staff that an incident commander from HPD was to contact Mr. Boardman
for any such action. We also discussed that an immediate shut down by turning off the music or turning on the
lights could have the potential to cause a riot or a level of unrest that would make a whole new set of problems.
Especially since the egress plan for the patrons required some barricades to be moved and gates to be opened
ahead of time.
On Friday November 5th, I arrived at the NRG complex at around 0830 hours. My role was to be
one of the incident commanders at the event. Throughout the day I was at the command post or roving around the
festival grounds. Our command post was located in the orange lot on the far east side of the property and the
Houston Fire Department (HFD) had their command post directly next to ours. We also staffed the HFD
command post with HPD Sergeant J. Richard to ensure continuity of communication between HPD and HFD.
During the planning process, we worked with HFD's planning section on a mass casualty incident (MCI) plan and
a back-up plan. During the morning time, I walked into the HFD command post and spoke to the HFD incident
commander, Chief M. Koochack, and his team. I verified that the MCI plan was to stage HFD assets on Main
Street and to bring the assets in and out gate 16. If there was a threat that prohibited that then the apparatus
would be staged on Kirby Drive. Chief Koochack verified this was the plan and I told him we would provide traffic
control support if needed for an MCI.
Later in the day, at around 1500 hours, Seyth met with me, Executive Assistant Chief Jones, Executive Assistant
Chief Satterwhite, and Assistant Chief Edwards. We informed Seyth that EAC Satterwhite and then I would be the
incident commanders that evening as EAC Jones and AC Edwards would be at another department event. At
this meeting, we discussed the current status of the security plan and the happenings of the day. Shortly after this
meeting, Chief Finner was expected to arrive so I clarified with Seyth what the plan was if the festival had to be
shut down for public safety reasons. Seyth again stated that EAC Satterwhite or I would contact him and he
Suppl No

Narrative
would have the show shut down. We did not expect at this time to have to shut the show down, but it was a
contingency plan that was discussed. We also discussed the ten minute transition if at all possible to get the
appropriate barricades moved and gates opened.
Travis Scott was scheduled to play from 2100 hours until 2300 hours. At approximately 2045 hours I was with
EAC Satterwhite, Commander Seafous, Commander Skelton, and Sergeants T. Riley, D. Gonzalez and N.
Matson. We traveled to the yellow lot where the stage was and stood off to the north side of the stage, about
even with the camera towers. I observed the crowd to be very large but orderly, standing around waiting for the
performance to start. The concert started very close to 2100 hours. After approximately 10 minutes, EAC
Satterwhite got a phone call. When he got off the phone he called the group together and said the call was Seyth
Boardman informing him that the fencing at the front of the stage may be malfunctioning.
At this time the music was so loud everywhere on the grounds that you could not hear your radio. I stepped away
from the noise and I instructed over the radio that due to the excessive noise, all officers had to be in groups no
smaller than 10 people. After about 10 more minutes (approximately 2220 hours) our group moved to the front of
the stage to see the condition of the fencing that was malfunctioning. When we arrived at the front of the stage
we saw the fencing in question was actually the "mojo barriers" that separated the crowd from the front of the
stage. It looked to me like someone had ratchet strapped them together and there were crew members pushing it
up into place. I spoke to Seyth down at this location and he told me he wasn't sure how it malfunctioned but he
thought it would hold.
We stayed down in front of the stage for a little bit and I looked around at the fans that were up against the front
and center aisle mojo barriers. It looked packed but nobody looked under distress and they were dancing and
filming the concert. We stayed up front for a few minutes and at 2137 hours I got a phone call from Officer J.
Baldwin in the command post. It was entirely too loud to hear a phone call so I declined the call and we all moved
to back stage so I could call the command post. As we were getting backstage I heard Officer D. Neilson say
over the radio, "unit 4 or 25 or 31 call the command post asap". I am unit 25 so I jogged a pretty good distance
from the stage so I could hear and at 2139 hours I called Officer Neilson. It was at this time that Officer Neilson
told me that HFD has confirmed with medical that they have three (3) people under CPR and the people on the
media tower were asking for assistance because people were climbing their camera tower. I repeated back what
he said and asked him if the CPR was confirmed and he said that it was.
I hung up and immediately ran back to the backstage area and informed EAC Satterwhite that HFD had confirmed
that we had three people receiving CPR and the media were asking for evacuation due to the crowd. We both
immediately agreed that we needed to shut the concert down due to public safety. I told him I just spoke to Seyth
by the front of the stage so he is likely still there. A phone call was not an option due to the noise volume so we
immediately began moving toward the front of the stage to find Seyth. Shortly after getting to the front of the stage
I saw Seyth. I told him there were three patrons under CPR and we had to shut the show down. It was
unbearably loud in front of the stage and he asked me to repeat it and I did and he said ok.
At that time I was patted on the shoulder by someone else in our group and the group began to move to the east
down the center moat aisle. I had delivered the message to Seyth but I was unable to hear what we were moving
to. As we moved down the aisle we came upon an unconscious female in the moat aisle with what appeared to
be a citizen giving her CPR. I observed EAC Satterwhite take over and begin to assist with CPR. A few seconds
later an individual wearing a red medical shirt appeared with a back board but with no straps of any kind. The
female was placed on the backboard and the group picked her up and began to move to the east. I was walking
behind the group. We eventually came to the end of the moat delineated by a mojo barrier in front of us. The
backboard was placed on the top the barrier as everyone began jumping the fence. I was in the back of the group
and before everyone could make it over the fence, someone pulled the front of the backboard off of the fence,
causing the female to fall off the backboard and onto the ground.
I hopped the fence and we put the female back on the board and we lifted the back board again. I was now
holding one of the handles at the head of the backboard as we travelled east toward the
end of the crowd with her feet toward the east and when we got to the food trucks we turned left. We realized
very quickly the medical tent was on the other side and we turned around and rushed the female to the medical
tent. When we entered the medical tent I saw Dr. Thestrup from HFD. He told us to put the female on a stretcher
Suppl No
1490724-21 0092
Narrative
on the north side of the tent. Dr. Thestrup told me the female was the 4th "arrest" in the last 5 minutes. I knew
"arrest" to mean cardiac arrest. We then left the tent and as I stepped outside I called Seyth at 2154 hours. He
immediately picked up and told me that he had got in Travis Scott's ear himself and told him we had to shut it
down. Seyth said that Travis understood, would shut it down "the right way" as not to incite a panic and be
finished at 2200 hours. Seyth said he was headed to open the gates for the egress plan and I told him I was
headed to the command post. I knew from the information about the CPR's in progress and Dr. Thestrup's
comments that we had an MCI.
I ran back to my Polaris that was backstage and drove back to the command post. I knew that our MCI plan with
HFD called for shutting down Main for ambulances. I asked the command post to activate RMP's to meet us at
the CP in the orange lot. I also contacted Special Response Group (SRG) Lieutenant C. Steele and told him we
were shutting down soon and to make sure all the field forces were completely together and to position them for
an early egress. When I got back to the command post I began to organize the team to check in and place the
RMP's as needed and to prepare everyone for a quicker egress than planned.
The crowd then emptied out and left and we began to work with medical on locating and identifying victims. I went
back over to the yellow lot and spoke with the medical team. The causes of death and incapacitation weren't
known at the time so I instructed SRG field forces to sweep the grounds to include all port a potties to search for
any other injured or unconscious persons. As the commander of the Narcotics Division, at approximately 0100
hours on November 6th, I contacted Lt. and initiated a call up of our Narcotics Overdose Investigation
squad. The squad met Homicide division at the different hospitals and assisted with the initial portion of the
investigation. I stayed at the command post until approximately 0430 hours assisting in identifying and locating
victims at area hospitals. Once that was finished I delivered that information to the reunification center and made
contact with Lt. Pleasant of Victim Services Division to ensure she did not need any more help from the command
post. I believe I left the reunification center at approximately 0500 hours.
I am not assigned a body worn camera (BWC) so I do not have any BWC footage from any portion of the day. I
also do not know if anyone in my group was wearing one that night.

This is an addendum to my original statement.
I am submitting this statement on August 29, 2022. On Friday, August 26,2022, I was contacted by Lt.
Menendez-Sierra and ask to address two things in my original statement. The first is a time discrepancy. In the
beginning of the sixth paragraph of my original statement, it reads, "At this time the music was so loud everywhere
on the grounds that you could not hear your radio. I stepped away from the noise and I instructed over the radio
that due to the excessive noise, all officers had to be in groups no smaller than 10 people. After about 10 more

minutes (approximately 2220 hours) our group moved to the front of the stage to see the condition of the fencing
that was malfunctioning."
The time of approximately 2220 hours is a typo. It should read "approximately 2120 hours". The times in my
timeline of events in the paragraph before and the paragraph after all read 2100 something. This was a typo on
my part.
The second issue arose after the Homicide investigation was completed and several video tapes were reviewed. I
was shown a video from backstage at 2157 hours where an officer in uniform is running north behind the stage. I
informed Homicide investigators that I am almost certain the officer is me and I am running to my Polaris to drive
back to the command post. This is after Chief Satterwhite and I had separated and I did not see him again until
after the event was over. I was running from the medical tent. This concludes my addendum to my statement.

Before me, the undersigned authority, this day, personally appeared Mark L. Lentini, a POLICE COMMANDER
My name is Mark L. Lentini. My payroll number is I am a POLICE COMMANDER and I am assigned to
the Cyber & Financial Crimes Division on Day shift.
I arrived at the event at 1330 hrs. My duties at the event (x-job) were to supervise and oversee any arrests and
the processing of prisoners. When I arrived several prisoners had been brought to the Purple Lot processing area
(Purple Lot) by APEX security guards in golf carts. After a short consultation with Chief Skillern, I met with APEX
supervisors and told them not to transport prisoners in golf carts and all prisoner transports will be conducted by
HPD on duty units.
At about 1400 hrs I went with Chief Skillern and Lt. Manuel Cruz to the VIP entrance gate where several arrests
and detentions had been made when the crowd rushed that gate. I helped coordinate the transfer of the adult
prisoners to the Purple Lot and juveniles to the NRG Stadium Security Office (NRG).
At 1500 hrs I went with Chief Skillern and Lt. Cruz to the Yellow Lot near Main and Murworth where HPD officers
had detained several people for jumping the fence. We handled that scene and then returned to the Purple Lot.
At around 1930 hrs, lots of people were arrested while hopping the fences along Lantern Point just south of
McNee by on duty units and SWAT personnel. Lt. Cruz and I helped coordinate the processing of those arrested
and attempted to determine who the arresting officers were.
At approximate 2000, I was tasked by either Chief Satterwhite or Commander Hardin to send our available extra
job officers to the main stage for crowd control. I delegated this responsibility to Lt. Cruz who designated two
squads headed by Lt. Meeler and Lt. Tolls to go the main stage.
I remained in the Purple Lot for the duration of the event. I was not wearing a body camera nor were any of the

At about 2300 hours, I went with Chief Satterwhite and Chief Finner to the command post in Orange Lot and
remained there until around 0200 Saturday morning.

Before me, the undersigned authority, this day, personally appeared James Skelton, a POLICE COMMANDER
My name is James E. Skelton. My payroll number is I am a POLICE COMMANDER and I am assigned to
the Special Operations Division on Day shift.
I, Commander James E. Skelton Employee # assigned to the Special Operations Homeland Security
Command worked the Travis Scott Astroworld festival on November 5th 2021. During the event I was assigned as
the new Commander of Special Operations Division shadowing the former Commander Thomas Hardin. On this
particular day my duty hours were 0600 to 0300 hours.
During the start of the concert around 2115 hours I was positioned on the north side (right) of the stage near the
very back along with EAC Satterwhite, Cmdr Hardin, Cmdr Seafous, Cmdr Seafous and Sgt Riley. Once the show
started we observed that the crowd grew in size as the music started. After a few minutes EAC Satterwhite
received a phone call from Seyth Boardman the head of security. EAC Satterwhite summoned myself and the
other officers and advised us that there was a breach on a barricade in the front of the stage. We proceeded to
the breach area in the front of the stage and noted that several security officers were holding the metal barriers to
prevent a total collapse. At this particular point EAC Satterwhite advised Seyth that the show needed to be
stopped. To my knowledge Seyth agreed to shut the show down due to the possible breach of the barricade. As
we proceeded to the rear of the stage to regroup and discuss the situation, we overheard several calls of CPR in
progress within the crowd. EAC Satterwhite directed Cmdr Seafous to escort Chief Finner to the rear of the stage,
while the rest of us proceeded to the middle of the walkway in between the barricades. At this point I observed
several individuals on the ground in distress. Several radio calls went out for assistance to help the injured. As we
attempted to assess some of the victims we noticed a Hispanic female who was not breathing with CPR in
progress. We were met by a medic who had a backboard, and we proceeded to escort her to the medical tent for
evaluation.
Once we left the medical tent the concert was still taking place, I proceeded to the rear of the stage to brief Chief
Finner on prior CPR in progress calls. At this point the concert stopped and the patrons started to exit the venue. I
did not have a BWC assigned to me during this event.

Before me, the undersigned authority, this day, personally appeared Keith L. Seafous, a POLICE COMMANDER
My name is Keith L. Seafous. My payroll number is I am a POLICE COMMANDER and I am assigned to
the Patrol Region 1, Gang Division on day shift. My contact number is
I, Commander K. L. Seafous am writing this correspondence in response to questioning regarding my role during
the Travis Scott Festival.
Prior to my recent promotion in October, I was informed by HPD Command Staff that I would be assigned to the
Special Operations Division as the new Commander. Since September I shadowed the prior Commander,
Thomas Hardin learning how operations worked within the division. I also assisted and oversaw daily protest, city
wide special events and attended meetings regarding upcoming events. I say that to paint the picture that I
planned on working or being the Commander during the timeframe of the Travis Scott Festival. A few days before
my promotion I was informed by the Command Staff that I was not transferring to Special Operations but instead
the Gang Division. I was asked that if available could I still assist with events with the Special Operations Division.
So I assisted with the World Series events and Travis Scott Festival as Incident Commander.
On Friday November 5, 2021, I worked my regular duty with the Gang Division. Around 1500 hours I drove over to
NRG stadium and checked in with the Command Post meeting with Executive Assistant Chief (EAC) Satterwhite
and Commanders Hardin & Skelton. My role for the day was simply to assist the other Commanders and Assistant
Chief's that were working the event that day. While in the Command Post I monitored incidents occurring around
the stadium footprint. I also drove and walked around the outer and inner perimeter for situational awareness. I
was not assigned a BWC during this event.
Once Travis Scott was scheduled to perform on stage, myself, two officers who names are unknown to me,
Sergeant Gonzales, Commanders Hardin and Skelton, and EAC Satterwhite positioned ourselves toward the back
of the crowd to the left of the stage where we could get a better look of things during the event. Prior to Travis
Scott coming onto the stage people began to head toward the areas designated to watch from. There was a lot of
people and due to darkness all you could really see were people's heads and cell phones. Once Travis Scott
came onto the stage people began to yell and scream in excitement and music was extremely loud.
I'm not sure how far into the concert but I remember EAC Satterwhite advising us that he wanted to go and take a
look at a potential barricade breach somewhere near the front of the stage. We all made our way to the back of
the stage area by travelling through the back parking lot. Once back there we then made our way to the front area
of the stage. The music was very loud to the point that I could not hear through my whisper mic in my ear. The
crowd seemed to be excited while yelling and screaming with their phones pointed toward the stage. Up front
several officers and security personnel were positioned in front of the barricades as people were yelling and some
attempting to jump over the barricades. We walked around the front portion of the stage and EAC Satterwhite met
with an event representative regarding the barricade. From what I remember seeing, the area that was of concern
had been fixed and was holding at that time. During that time the only law enforcement action I took was walking
to the front stage area to view if any damage had occurred to a barricade that was reported to be breached. I
remember seeing other officers in the front of the stage but they appeared to just be conducting crowd control
duties. If anyone had BWC's I was unaware. I remember seeing some medical personnel moving through the area
Suppl No

but not sure what actions they were taking. It was crowded and very loud. There was a lot of people attempting to
jump over the barricades and security was addressing those individuals.
Again it was extremely loud I couldn't hear anything on the radio. The ground was uneven with a plastic covering
that was wet and muddy for some reason. So we had to use caution with just walking through the area. EAC
Satterwhite attempted to communicate with us but we could not understand him so he pointed back toward the
side of the stage to meet. Once on the side he mentioned something about the barricades. Personally I still could
not hear him well but I remember him asking if someone could go and meet Chief Finner who was on the way
there. I advised EAC Satterwhite that I could go out to the street and meet him once he drove up. EAC Satterwhite
again advised me to get the Chief and bring him back behind the stage. I immediately walked back through the
back portions of the stage and back out to the parking area behind the stage set up. I jumped back on a kart and
drove out near Main and Mcnee. Once out there I noticed that some kind of breach had occurred because I
noticed a field force of officers dealing with individuals who must have attempted to jump a gate near that road
block. I figured this route would probably not be the route that the Chief would take due to all the people in the
area attempting to sneak inside. A short time later I then observed Chief Finner's vehicle coming onto Mcnee from
Kirby. He parked over in one of the Command Post areas where I drove over to meet him. Once in the kart I
explained that a barricade had potentially been breached and from my understanding if that would have occurred
then we needed to immediately stop the concert because the stage would be compromised. The Chief then
informed me to take him directly to the front of the stage so he could get eyes on the concerned breach area and
the event. From a video I observed around 2200 hours I took the Chief directly to the spot that I and EAC
Satterwhite had just looked over. The area was still in tacked and officers were still standing in front of the stage
holding their post. I then walked the Chief to the back of the stage and he walked away from me at that point
toward the middle of the backstage area. I then went back to the front of the stage area searching for EAC
Satterwhite and the other Commanders to meet with Chief Finner. I did not see them so I walked back behind the
stage. Once I returned back behind the stage the concert was ending. I was then informed that we had a Mass
Casualty Incident on our hands. Several more officers had arrived to assist with coordinating with personnel to
walk the inner perimeter. I'm not sure of who was all behind the stage or if they had BWC's. I also don't know if
any of them had provided any medical attention to anyone at that point. The only other police actions that I took
after the concert ended was helping disperse the crowds and making sure no other people were left in the VIP
areas that needed medical help. I then assisted with egress of people and traffic control. There was gridlock out
on Kirby and 610, so I and Commander Skelton ended up doing traffic control in front of the hotel until we were
relieved by patrol officers. I'm not sure if any officers in the area had BWC's.
Afterwards I assisted with setting up the reunification post for the families of any victims. After speaking with the
Manager of the Hotel I was able to get the room and have Family Assistance set up inside a conference room. I
left the reunification post around 0430 or so.

On Tuesday, January 4, 2022, I was asked to submit a letter by Sergeant Michele Ynosencio regarding the
Suppl No
1490724-21 0092
Narrative
Astroworld concert event that occurred in a parking lot adjacent to NRG stadium on November 5, 2021.
The SWAT Detail was assigned to work this event on November 5, 2021, from 1200 hours to 2400 hours. My
arrival time was 1200 hours and my departure time was approximately 0030
hours.
My role during this event was to supervise the SWAT Detail. The SWAT Team was staged in the teal parking lot
next to the SRG Command Post. SWAT was responsible for proving counter assault teams (CAT), marksman
coverage from vehicle and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) or drone coverage. SWAT would respond in full
tactical gear during the event should and active attack occur or any special threat situation at or near the foot print
of the Astroworld concert event. In addition, SWAT would support SRG if they were deployed to handle the
protest or large crowd control event. SWAT had a total of 17 personnel working this event including myself, 2
sergeants and 14 officers. We assigned the CAT teams to sit in their assigned Tahoes and monitor the yellow
parking lot, one CAT team in a Tahoe to monitor the red parking lota and a UAS team in the teal parking lot to
provide drone coverage. I was in my Tahoe during the event monitoring multiple radio channels and roving
throughout the entire footprint. We also had an off road "Polaris Ranger" vehicle on site, and I spent time on this
during the shift roving throughout the footprint.
The only time I left the footprint during the shift was at approximately 1845 hours to respond to a special threat
situation at 12114 Sandpiper, unrelated to the Astroworld event. That scene was quickly resolved, and I returned
to the footprint at approximately 2000 hours.
I did not specifically take any law enforcement action during the event as there were not special threat situations
or active attacks during the event. The only time I recall activating my BWC was during the medical emergency
situation at the official medical tent inside the footprint.
At approximately 2115 hours, we began hearing radio traffic of crowd surge and medical issues near the main
stage while Travis Scott was performing. I attempted to reach Doctor Lars Thestrup, assistant medical director for
the City of Houston and also one of our SWAT medics, by radio, to check on his location and his welfare. I was
going to relay the information to him about possible medical issues near the main stage. Doctor Thestrup call my
cell phone and advised me he had overheard the radio traffic and already made his way through the crowd and
was at the medical tent. He advised they had multiple serious medical issues occurring at the same time and
requested assistance from SWAT personnel who are trained and certified emergency medical technicians
(EMTs). I gave the order over the radio via the SWAT channel for my SWAT medics to immediately make your
way through the crowd to the medical tent and provide assistance as needed. SWAT medics Eric Holland, Matt
Hurban and Daryl Hudeck along with SWAT team leader Jessie Seay responded to the medical tent. I believe all
of them activated their BWCs during this medical emergency. Sergeant Calabro and I used our Polaris Ranger off
road vehicle and we made our way through the crowd to the medical tent. I also requested for SRG to send
some officers to the medical tent to assist with crowd control. Upon arrival to the medical tent I observed several
concert goers in full cardiac arrest and multiple medical personnel on hand including SWAT medics performing
simultaneous CPR. Sergeant Calabro and I helped clear the parking area outside the medical tent while awaiting
the arrival of numerous HFD ambulances. We also helped triage and coordinate a large group of people who had
non-life threatening medical issues by setting up chairs outside the medical tent and providing water and blankets
for those awaiting to be treated by medical personnel.
As the most serious medical issues were handled and the patients were transported to the hospitals, I told the
remaining SWAT personnel to drive through the footprint as the crowd is egressing and make sure there were no
other citizens that needed medical attention. The crowd appeared to leave the footprint with minimal issues. All
SWAT personnel then met back up at the teal lot and awaited dismissal from Commanders. SWAT was dismissed
at approximately 0030 hours.

My name is Manuel Cruz Jr. My payroll number is I am a POLICE LIEUTENANT and I am assigned to the
Southeast Division on the Days shift. My office telephone number is
On November 5th at approximately 0600 hours I arrived at NRG Park and clocked in to work the Astroworld
Festival. Working at NRG Park is a regular extra job that I have a permit for. My position during this particular
event was as the operational lieutenant assisting Assistant Chief M. Skillern and Commander M. Lentini. My job
was to assist in the management of all extra job officers signed up to work the extra job event. Managing these
officers included assigning them positions and reacting to issues as they came up. I did not have a BWC at any
time during the day.
I spent approximately the first three hours of the day doing roll calls with arriving officers and then driving around
the property with Chief Skillern inspecting the exterior and interior construction of barriers and the layout of the
event footprint.
Around 0830 hours we met with two officers assigned to the Houston Police Mounted Unit who were looking for a
way to bring in their horses to the area they had been assigned to work near the entrance gate. We contacted
one of the parking lot managers who opened a gate for them and allowed them to post at their assigned position.
We then proceeded to the entrance to the Covid screening area in the Blue Parking lot since a crowd was waiting
for the gates to open. I posted a group of 5 extra job officers near the gate and there was also a SRG squad near
the gate. While waiting for the gate to open we were speaking with one of the production managers who had what
appeared to be a pair of wire cutters and was going to open the gate. He stated that when he opened the fence
just past the screening area if the crowd tore it down it would not be a big deal because he didn't really needed it.
Before the gate opened and the crowd was waiting, the people in line were throwing different items in the air at
each other. The most common thing being thrown back and forth were open water bottles including big jugs. The
crowd was strictly throwing things within themselves, I did not see anything thrown towards the police or park
staff.
When the gate was eventually opened sometime after 0900 hours the large crowd immediately became extremely
aggressive and began pushing and rushing the gate. The large group of attendees rushed past the Covid
screeners and ran towards the main event area. During the first rush I observed that the bicycle racks were
pushed and knocked down as people from the rear jumped over people in front of them. As the crowd thinned out
I was able to identify that three people were down and seemed to be injured. One was a male and the other two
were females. The male got up on his own and stated that he was ok. I then saw that the two females had visible
injuries to their legs and that one of the females was still partially covered by a bike rack. The bicycle racks which
were being used to create lanes had been pushed over and landed on them. I called for medical to make the
scene. The two females were treated and transported to the medical tent. I do not know the final disposition of
their injuries.
After the original rush, operation of the Covid screening area was much more orderly. The attendees after that
provided screeners with the required information and appeared to be much calmer than the first large group. As
other attendees were walking up staff from the event quickly put together the bicycle racks in order to create
organized lines.
Knowing that the next area of concern was going to be the main merchandise tent, Chief Skillern and I made our

way there. We were in position at the front of the tent when the ticket/security gates opened and people began to
rush our location. I did not see how they made it through the ticketing gates. I watched the crowd jump and push
their way through the bicycle racks to get to the front. I was there for a while monitoring the crowd and observed
that they were constantly trying to push towards the front of the line. Officers were in the front area and I made
several attempts to restore the bicycle racks in order to restore proper lines but the crowd would not move. The
crowd was very stubborn but they were not combative or hostile they just wanted to buy merchandise and seemed
to put up with being very uncomfortable. They were interactive and respectful with us as we tried to maintain
working lines.
I spent the next few hours with Chief Skillern as we drove around the perimeter of the venue attempting to prevent
large groups of people that were trying to find a place to jump the fence. At no point did either of us arrest or
detain anyone since the groups would move and disband upon our approach.
At one point we made our way back to the merchandise tent since it was still an ongoing problem. We met with
Mr. Michael Brown who stated that that he was the head of security for Travis Scott. He stated that he could get
the crowd under control so we got him a bullhorn. He got on a chair and spoke to the crowd. I could not make out
what he said but he got a bunch of them to cooperate. A number of staff members arrived and we were able to
get the lines into better shape.
Somewhere around this time Commander Lentini arrived and clocked in. Chief Skillern and I picked him up at
purple lot. We then heard over the radio that another rush incident had taken place at the VIP gate and that
several suspects were in custody. We proceeded to the area and when we arrived 4 or 5 suspects were being
detained but by the time the incident was under control approximately 11 or 12 suspects needed to be transported
to the purple lot. I arranged for the jail bus to meet us at the location to pick them up. One of the suspects was a
juvenile so he was transported to the security office at BHP gate where a juvenile processing area was being
maintain separately.
After clearing from the scene Chief Skillern, Commander Lentini and myself proceeded to the juvenile processing
area (inside police office) to inspect and ensure that all activities were being conducted within policy.
Around 1500 hours Chief Skillern was contacted by Officer Kenneth Bigger of Central Patrol who was stationed
near the southwest corner of the property. The officers group had apprehended 5 trespassers and asked for help
processing them. Chief Skillern, Commander Lentini and I met with the officers that were holding the suspects.
We arranged for the transport of the suspects to the processing area at purple lot.
Chief Skillern was then was contacted via phone by someone with the production company asking us to meet and
help a male named Frank Perez about additional security in the area behind the stage. Chief Skillern and I met
with him in the area behind the stage. Mr. Perez asked that we provide two additional officers to man a spot at the
entrance for the performers and one at Travis Scott's trailer entrance. I later identified two extra job officers and
posted them at the entrance to Travis Scott's trailer area after they decided they wanted them both there.
Sometime around 1700 hours Commander Lentini advised me that he had received instructions for the extra job
to insure coverage around the stage for the performance. I met with Sergeant Mike Saldivar and we identified the
officers that were already assigned at the stage and any others that we could move to assist. I then met with
Lieutenant Warren
Meeler and Lieutenant Kevin Tolls and advised them that at approximately 1900 hours I was going to have Chief
Mary Young (TSUPD) as the dispatcher in the command center do a roll call over the air and have the available
officers report to them as squads so they could deploy them around the stage area.
At approximately 1910 hours Chief Young announced names over the air and had them redeployed to meet with
the lieutenants.
My next issue to handle occurred when a Texans staff member called in over the radio to advise that a large
group had jumped the fence on Kirby and were on the Texans practice field near the bubble. Because that entire
area is surrounded by a large fence the staff member was eventually able to corner them behind the bubble and
keep them there until units arrived. The scene was handled by an SRG squad who detained a group of over
twenty. One of the males detained was identified as a juvenile so he was transported to the processing area. The
Suppl No

rest including three females were taken to the purple lot for processing. SRG personnel dropped them off and
departed before I got back from checking on the juvenile. When I arrived I was informed by extra job officers
working the processing assignments that the SRG officers had not provided the needed information in order to
process the arrest for any of the suspects.
I then proceeded to the HPD Command Post in order to meet with supervisors from the SRG. I explained the
situation and the supervisors agreed to get a team member identified as the arresting officer so that the suspects
could be processed. After some back and forth and several trips to the command post the SRG supervisors
advised me that they had not been able to clearly identify an arresting officer for that particular incident with those
suspects. Without an identified arresting officer I had the officers obtain information and generate a report and
then released the detained people involved.
By this time it was after 2100 hours and heard the on-duty dispatcher announce over the air that they were taking
over the channel and that any extra job related traffic could be called in to a phone number that I did not catch. At
that point I was walking into the site command post.
I was never near the crowd as the concert was going on as I was handling administrative/operational duties
throughout the event and entire perimeter. After information of casualties came in and the eventual emptying off
the venue I assisted in maintaining the integrity of the possible crime scene. I was part of the group on site that
was available for the chief as he prepared or the first media press release at the HPD onsite Command Center.
As Homicide was arriving and taking the scene I was asked by Commander Lentini to have a roster prepared with
contact information for all extra job officers at the event. By then it was after midnight but I contacted Sergeant
Mike Saldivar who was no longer on property and asked him to return. I met with Sergeant Saldivar and we
compiled a complete roster of event officers to pass onto Homicide investigators working the scene.
I eventually left the property at approximately 0300 hours and went home.
I returned to NRG Park at approximately 0900 hours since it had been decided by ASMG management that the
event staffing would continue even though the event had been cancelled. In an effort to maintain the integrity of
the investigation it was decided to maintain the entire footprint of the event.

Prior to November 5, 2021, I was contacted by a command office and informed I was being ordered to work on
November 5 -6, 2021, for a call-up for Special Response Group (SRG) subsequent to the impending Travis Scott
Concert. I informed the officer who called that I was anticipating working the event in an extra-employment
capacity. After informing him of this; I was told he would verify with the command office that I was still needed.
Shortly thereafter (within the hour) I spoke again with the same officer who informed me that the purpose of
drafting people for SRG was to compliment the extra-employment officers and I would therefore need to continue
to stay on the extra-employment roster. It was my understanding from this conversation that my assignment to
work extra-employment for the event was in lieu of working SRG and I was not free to disregard the
extra-employment assignment.

On Friday, November 5, 2021, I worked an approved off-duty extra job at the Astroworld Festival at NRG Park,
Permit #519690. I utilized PHRS leave for my regular duty hours. My extra employment duty hours were
pre-approved to be 0600 to 0030. I was assigned Unit #104 for the purposes of radio traffic. I was not issued or
wearing a Body Worn Camera.
Initial Assignment at 6:00 am
I arrived for duty at 0600 hours. I received my first assignment from HPD Sergeant M. Saldivar. HPD Lieutenant
K. R. Tolls and I were asked to report to the south pedestrian bridge that connects the blue lot parking area to the
green lot area. This location is where festival attendees would first enter the park for entry into the festival in the
green lot. The first attendees were allowed into this area at approximately 9:25 am. At this point, approximately
15 additional extra-job officers from various agencies were assigned to this area along with on duty personnel with
SRG.
At approximately 10:00 am, as the gates were about to open, all extra-job officers were radioed to report to the
front of the merchandising tent at the north end of the green lot. The area was organized with moveable metal
barricades in a serpentine fashion. When the entry gates opened, festival goers entered this area and began to
run towards the merchandising tent.
The orderly arrangement of the barricades were quickly disrupted leaving a disorganized crowd of people massing
in front of the merchandising tent. For the next two hours, the crowd became denser and began pushing forward.
The other extra-job officers and I struggled to keep the crowd back until the crowd began pushing us towards the
front of the merchandising tent. At approximately 12:00 pm, Michael Brown, who introduced himself as the head
of Travis Scott's security, came to the merchandising tent. The issue was discussed, and he agreed to inform the
crowd to disburse in order to regain order. Michael Brown got on a bull horn and was able to get the crowd to
leave so that the barricades could be reformed.
At approximately 2:00 pm, the barricades were reformed and we continued to monitor this assignment. At one
point, I went to the portable restroom on the east side of the green lot near the VIP entry. As I entered the
Suppl No

restroom area, a large crowd rushed the VIP area and began crashing through the metal detectors. I radioed for
assistance, using my department unit #194, and several Harris County Mounted Patrol Deputies, EJ personnel,
and on duty HPD Officers responded to stop the crowd from entering. I then returned to the merchandising area
where we continued to monitor the crowd until 5:00 pm.
Second Assignment Stage 1 at 8:00 pm
At 5:00 pm, I returned to the Command Post where Lieutenant Tolls and I met with HPD Lieutenant M. Cruz.
Lieutenant Cruz informed us of our next assignment at the main stage. Our assignment was to report to this area
at 7:30 pm with a group of extra-job officers to provide security for the stage. Since the assigned officers were
stationed at various posts around the festival, I requested that they be notified by dispatch at 7:00 pm to report to
the medical tent on the southwest corner of stage 1 at 7:30 pm.
At 7:30 pm, we began to meet at the medical tent. Lieutenant Tolls walked the perimeter of the stage and
determined the configuration for an orderly deployment. At approximately 7:45 pm, 20 officers had arrived for the
assignment. We went to the stage area where at approximately 7:55 pm I met with several security personnel
who were having a pre-concert meeting (from crowd perspective) on the left side of the stage. I interjected into
the meeting, as loud bass music was played from the stage, and informed them that we were assigned to the
stage area. I asked the leader of the meeting how he would like us to arrange our personnel around the stage.
He advised me to line the officers up at close intervals around the perimeter of the stage and that concert security
would be on the front line. I told him that we would only interject if there was a need for law enforcement action.
At this point, Lieutenant Tolls and I instructed the Extra Job officers to space out evenly around the stage.
Furthermore, additional officers arrived for the assignment as the concert began.
For the next half hour to an hour, Lieutenant Tolls and I roved the area where the Officers were positioned. As the
concert started and began to progress, I remained on the left side (from the crowd perspective) of the main stage.
There were approximately 8 to 12 officers from various agencies on my side of the stage, and I did not observe
them take any law enforcement action other than to regulate the flow of people walking through the area in front of
the stage. The music was extremely loud, and even with a whisper mike, it was very difficult to decipher police
radio traffic.
For the remainder of the concert, I observed private security guards wearing neon green and black shirts, printed
with Valle Security, lining the barriers that separated spectators from the stage. I saw the security guards
removing people from the crowd. As this was occurring, I was instructed by a very large male in plain clothes not
to let individuals approach the stage from the south entry area, and I directed numerous individuals to exit the
stage area to the south.
I did not provide medical care or administer NARCAN to any of the concert goers, however, I observed numerous
medical personnel identified by their red jackets. I observed them assist several individuals who were extracted
from the crowd, however, all but two people I saw them treat were conscious and breathing. The first was a white
male with shoulder length blonde hair. As he was pulled out of the crowd, he appeared to pass out, but quickly
regained consciousness and was ushered to the stage exit to the south by medical personnel. Later, I observed
them pull a white female out of the crowd who passed out. She was ushered into a wheel chair and I observed
her to regain consciousness as she was tended to. I do not have any record of these events. I did not observe
any person being administered CPR.
From my perspective, the event appeared to be complete chaos, however, the crowd did not appear to be in
distress. The fans where avidly jumping up and down in what appeared to be enjoyment throughout the show in a
display that I have never experienced. As I observed the crowd, I also observed the expressions of the neon
green and black shirt clad Valle Security personnel tending to the crowd, and they did not appear to be stressed
as if the behavior of the crowd was normal to them.
I am not aware of any body worn camera footage from the officers working extra-employment. I did observe
several officers, whom I did not recognize to be working extra-employment, walk through the area with Body Worn
Cameras on their uniforms.
Though I was not issued a body worn camera, I took several short videos of the crowd at different points of the

Before me, the undersigned authority, this day, personally appeared Ricky L. Raska, a POLICE LIEUTENANT
My name is Ricky L. Raska. My payroll number is I am a POLICE LIEUTENANT and I am assigned to the
Northeast Division on the Nights shift. My office telephone number is
1.Your time(s) of arrival/departure:
Friday November 5th I arrived on property at 5:28AM and Departed at 12:47AM on Saturday morning November
6th.
2.Your role or assignment including location(s) or areas covered.
For this event I was designated as the NRG Park outside Police Coordinator. My duties and responsibilities were
to oversee the operations of all Outside Police Extra Employment Officers employed by NRG Park.
Structure of the Extra Employment at NRG Park
NRG Park designates Extra Employment Officers as Inside or Outside Officers (Theses officers are NOT
interchangeable). For festival events of this type, job responsibilities are normally split by NRG Park in the
Suppl No
1490724-21 0092
Narrative
following manner: Outside Police is responsible for everything outside the festival gates and Inside Police handles
everything inside the festival gates. This was the case for the Astroworld Festival. Outside Police was
responsible for the road closures surrounding the event and everything law enforcement and traffic related outside
of the perimeter gates of the festival. Outside Police was also responsible for ingress and egress traffic coming
to and from the location and the vehicle parking lot where patrons parked. NO OUTSIDE OFFICERS WERE
ASSIGNED OR RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING INSIDE THE FESTIVAL GATES....these responsibilities were
assigned to the NRG inside Police Extra Employment Officers. I did have 14 mounted patrol officers that were
inside the festival but their movements and responsibilities were managed by Lt. Chris Adolph with HCSO (he's on
our payroll so he shows as assigned to Outside Police).
For November 5th and 6th the Astroworld Festival each day I was assigned 60 Officers (6:00AM-12:30AM) for the
above perimeter duties, 14 mounted patrol officers (7:00AM- 12:30AM) and 10 Officers for overnight road
closures/barricades (12:00AM-6:00AM). These numbers did not change as manpower was being supplemented
with on-duty HPD officers. Furthermore, these were my allotted numbers, but I did not have a full roster. I show
53 officers worked various shifts on Friday with several leaving early and several coming in later than the posted
times. This is not unusual as many officers are not able to commit to a full shift so we try to pair up an early officer
with a late officer to cover the entire single shift.
3.Any law enforcement action taken or observed by you and whether you have any BWC video or record
of any such action.
I observed several attempted breaches of the exterior gates which I assisted on at least 2. In both of these cases
the individual was removed from the fence line and released outside the perimeter gates. I did not arrest anyone
nor did I participate in the arrest of anyone. I did not have a Body Worn Camera assigned so I have no BWC
footage of these actions. To my knowledge none of the Outside Police Extra Employment Officers had BWC
footage of this event.
4.Any medical care provided by or observed by you and whether you have any BWC video or record or
any such care.
I provided no medical care to any patrons nor did I witness any medical care being provided to patrons. I have no
BWC video or record of any care provided to anyone on the night of November 5th. I was well outside the
perimeter gates of the festival and had no knowledge of the issues that were occurring inside the festival as we
were on a different radio channel.
5.Identify all person(s) who may have relevant knowledge or BWC video regarding the law enforcement
actions of medical care detailed in your responses to questions (3) and (4) above.
I have no knowledge of anyone who witnessed law enforcement action or medical care, all of the Outside Police
Extra Job Officers were on an outside channel and had no knowledge of what was occurring inside the festival
grounds.
6.Any communication(s) you had regarding noteworthy events or conditions during the event, and please
detail the time of the communication, the content of the communication, the party or parties to the
communication and whether you are aware of any BWC video or record of the communication.
The only noteworthy information I received was from Ryan Boros of NRG Park who stated (Not sure of the exact
time he called) that Saturday's events had been cancelled (to keep our officer staffing) and there was going to be
a press conference regarding the event of the festival. I did not attend this press conference nor did I provide any
information regarding this press conference. At this point none of the Outside Police Officers had been advised
on any deaths at the festival (I found out the next morning on the news).

Before me, the undersigned authority, this day, personally appeared Jason W. Rosemon, a POLICE
LIEUTENANT believed by me to be a credible person, who after being sworn upon his oath, did depose and say:
My name is Jason W. Rosemon. My payroll number is I am a POLICE LIEUTENANT and I am assigned
to the South Central Division on the Nights shift. My office telephone number is
I, Lieutenant, J. W. Rosemon, employee # am currently assigned to South Central Patrol, Shift III. My
regular days off are Saturday and Sunday.
I arrived at the NRG complex at approximately 1200 hours on Friday, November 5, 2021. I completed my duties
at approximately 0130 hours on Sunday, November 6, 2021.
I was not assigned a Body Worn Camera (BWC) during my work assignment.
I was assigned to be the supervisor for Field Force Three, Squads One through Four. Our original assignment
was to be at Stage #2, which was the stage where all the performers, other than Travis Scott performed prior to
the main performance at Stage #1. Our Field Force assisted in stopping trespassers from jumping the exterior
gates around the back side of Stage #2. This was an ongoing issue throughout the night as persons attempted to
gain unlawful entry onto the property.
As the night progressed and the performers completed their shows on Stage #2, we moved to Stage #1 for the
main show. We took position in front of the stage. We were located directly to the left of the stage under the large
projector screen. While at this location there were several times when we had to go behind the stage to attempt
in stopping trespassers from jumping the fence and entering the concert venue. After assisting in stopping their
entry we would return to our location at the front left of the stage.
As the concert ended, we moved from in front of the stage and began to walk towards the entrance of the venue
to assist other officers as they were radioing for help. They, along with FOX requested officers to assist in
curtailing the crowd, who was over taking the merchandise location.
Along the way we noticed several Houston Fire Department ambulances driving towards the medical tent. We
stopped walking and assisted in making an ingress point for the ambulances. We had concert goers stop walking
in the path of the ambulances, and as they made it to the medical tent, we then continued to walk towards the
merchandise location.
As we arrived at the merchandise location, I witnessed people climbing on top of the merchandise tables and
appeared to be taking over that location in a very aggressive manner. Officers from my field force along with
other officers began to give commands for the people to stop climbing over the tables and potentially stealing
merchandise. Officers formed a skirmish line to protect that location and had those persons re-directed towards
the exit gates. We stayed at this location until most of the crowd exited the location.
We then moved towards the safekeeping tent and stood by as concert goers gathered their belongings from the
lockers. We remained at this location until we were notified that we can begin to head towards the parking lot to
complete overtime forms.
I did not provide any medical care. Due to my location and being that security guards and medical staff were
actively assisting in rendering aid, my assistance was not needed at the time. While at the front of the stage I did
witness persons reaching over the barricade asking to be removed from the crowd. As they requested to be
removed, medical personnel along with security guards were actively lifting people over the barricade and aided

them by carrying or walking with them to the nearby medical tent. I do not have any BWC footage nor any other
record of these events.
I do not know specifically each officer who may have relevant knowledge of these events. But the officers in my
field force that were with me in the front of the stage could possibly attest to the events described. Those
assigned BWC's would possibly have footage of such events as well.
The following is the radio communication that I had during our time at Stage #1 which was around 9:30pm.
A female officer got on the radio and stated, "I'm over here at the medical tent and there's a lot of people trampled
and are passed out at the front stage".
The Command Post radioed and asked if there were any SRG officers at the front stage that could advise of
trampling or any injuries of the sort.
I radioed "Field Force 3 we are in front of the stage, we have security up here, they are escorting people and
taking them to the back."
The female officer then radioed that she is getting multiple reports of people being sprawled out unconscious in
the crowd.
The Command Posted directed us not to enter the crowd. The Command Post radioed that, "Right now, that
crowd is super thick, super tense. If you go in there this could possibly turn into an officer rescue situation, and
that makes it extremely dangerous for everybody. Right now, try your best to get your commands into that crowd
to help-out. Other than that, be careful. Do not get yourself into a position to get yourself into an officer rescue
situation."
This communication was transmitted via HPD radios, and a copy of the recording is on the Internet. I listened to
the recording before writing this statement. I am not aware of any other noteworthy communication that I had.

Before me, the undersigned authority, this day, personally appeared Alisa M. Smith, a POLICE LIEUTENANT
My name is Alisa M. Smith. My payroll number is I am a POLICE LIEUTENANT and I am assigned to the
Homicide Division on the Evening shift.
I was ordered to work the Travis Scott Concert / Astroworld Festival. I did not provide nor observe any of my
personnel provide medical care during the event. I did not have a BWC; however, the officers and sergeants had
BWCs.
On Friday November 5th, 2021, I arrived at the NRG Orange Lot at approximately 1200 hours. A Mounted officer
gave me a ride in his vehicle to the Teal Lot which contained the Special Response Group (SRG) Command Post.
Lieutenant Clay Steele met with me and he provided instructions showing me the event map. I was assigned as
the Field Force Leader over Field Force #5 (FF5) and our first assignment was to guard the perimeter on the
south side of the event. I could not physically meet with all my individual squad leaders and officers because
some had already deployed. I took cell phone pictures of the list of those who were assigned to me with their
phone numbers. Most of my communication with my field force was in person, via phone calls, or text messages.
I gathered the remaining FF5 officers present (around 8) and we walked inside the venue guarding the southern
fence adjacent to Murworth. Sergeant Dinh's squad was located at Mcnee Rd and Lantern Point. Sergeant
Thomas' squad was adjacent the Harris County building.
At approximately 1330 hours Lieutenant Steele contacted me via phone advising we needed to put four patrol
cars on Westridge with emergency lights flashing to be a deterrence for fence breachers. I coordinated with my
officers for volunteers, we walked to get vehicles, and then carpooled to Westridge. We guarded that perimeter for
Suppl No

Narrative
approximately 45 minutes. During that time we saw a large crowd run towards the entrance as we peeked
through the gate, but from our position we were blocked off. Mounted officers quickly stopped them.
Sergeant Caprise drove me to the Orange Lot to retrieve my unmarked city vehicle and we both drove back to
Westridge. Sergeant Gromyk proposed the idea to utilize his patrol car and get officers closer to the
Murworth/Lantern Point to catch potential breachers after they jump the fence. He and a few officers left for that
assignment.
There was a request for assistance for fence jumpers near the ferris wheel. I texted my sergeants who could
respond and Sergeant Gromyko and Sergeant Thomas replied in the affirmative. Sergeant Caprise and I
observed the location was close and we drove there and observed HPD officers and event security had chased
away a group of around twenty young individuals and the situation was under control.
At approximately 1510 hours Lieutenant Steele sent a group text that he needed FF4 to relieve FF5 in the Green
Lot and to meet with me for duties and instructions. I met with FF4 officers in person and explained we were
guarding Westridge and Lantern Point and Murworth trying to prevent fence breaches. I advised they should bring
patrol cars and we were primarily outside the venue. I advised my squad leaders once their relief arrived they
should return to the SRG Command Post to receive our next assignments. Sergeant Thomas' squad was
watching the back gate by the two retention ponds on Main. While coordinating relief Lieutenant Steele advised
Main was out of our scope and to have FF4 focus on Westridge and Lantern Point. Sergeant Nicholas Vo's squad
took over guarding Westridge and Lantern corner. 61Y06's squad moved to Murworth and Main covering the
fence line along Murworth. At approximately 1543 hours Officer Carter called me regarding an intoxicated citizen
who I advised to bring to the Purple Lot.
After I briefed FF4 of their assignments I drove to the SRG Command Post. Lieutenant Steele explained he
wanted my field force to provide relief to other squads when they requested assistance and that we were
supposed to relieve each other. Lieutenant Steele advised he needed a squad to take marked units to the bridge
on Kirby at Westridge that crosses from the Blue Lot to the Green Lot to meet with security. HPD had intel that a
large group was preparing to rush the bridge to force their way into the concert and security was there with the
manager to give trespass warnings. At approximately 1617 hours I coordinated with Sergeant Thomas' squad to
fulfill this assignment.
I remained at the SRG Command Post to charge my cell phone which had gone down to 50%. I knew I needed it
charged to frequently use it the remainder of the event. Likewise, it was already mentioned on the radio to keep
the airways clear for emergencies. Hence, this is why I remained at the SRG Command Post for approximately 2
hours. Additionally, I finally received a hard copy of the assignments and I worked on communicating with all my
squad leaders and confirming everyone who was in attendance.
Furthermore, while monitoring the radio I was keeping track of my squads and providing assignments as needed.
The original list had some substitutions. For example, I confirmed Sergeant Bashir had replaced one of my listed
squad leaders. Sergeant Bashir advised he had a prisoner near the entrance in the Green Lot with his full squad.
Sergeant Campise confirmed half of his squad was with prisoners. I coordinated with my squad leaders to ensure
everyone ate Jason's deli at the SRG Command Post or had an officer pick up the food and bring it to their
squads. At approximately 1750 hours I learned Sergeant Thomas was requesting relief at his position at
Westridge and Kirby. I directed Sergeant Campise to fulfill this assignment.
At approximately 1815 hours I was notified that assistance was needed at the VIP entrance. I gathered every
available member of FF5 at the SRG Command Post (approximately 9 officers and 3 fire fighters) and we walked
to the VIP entrance adjacent to the ticket scan counters. We met with about 3 Mounted officers. Sergeant Dinh
texted me that he was at the bridge gate preventing a large group from rushing in. He requested 3 more units and
I sent 3 officers across the bridge to assist.
I then repositioned the remainder of my officers and fire fighters across the bridge because it sounded like more
forces were needed there. As soon as we arrived a large group of citizens had knocked over chain link fences and
were running towards the bridge. My force ran straight towards them and the citizens turned around and ran off.
Officers helped put the gates back up. I assisted two females who stated people kept trying to take their wrist
bands offering to buy them making them uncomfortable as they were trying to leave. They were concerned

someone was going to rob them. I found two event security personnel willing to walk the women to their car.
We guarded the entrance to the bridge checking everyone to ensure they had wrist bands (concert tickets) to be
allowed to pass. Slowly another group started forming in front of us. We assumed these were citizens without wrist
bands. We were concerned they might try to rush past us in mass. A Mounted officer assisted in pushing them
back and they left.
Sergeant Vo called me at approximately 1905 hours requesting relief at Westridge between Kirby and Lantern
Point. I learned Sergeant Dinh's squad was busy as 3 of his units made arrests and were processing prisoners. I
subsequently coordinated with Sergeant Bashir to have his squad take over Sergeant Vo's position.
Event security advised they would move their personnel to our position to take over checking arm bands since it
was slowing down there. My officers, fire fighters, and I walked back to the SRG Command Post for a short break
(less than 10 minutes).
Sometime after 2100 hours a request for assistance came over the radio that citizens were trying to breach the
fences on McNee. I gathered everyone available (around 7 officers and 3 fire fighters) and we started headed that
way on foot. We met another smaller group of officers (maybe 4) at Murworth and Lantern Point. They advised it
was impossible to reach McNee by going through the crowd. It was recommended we go the back way between
the fences between the event and outer perimeter.
It was announced via the radio that all squads needed to get back in their field forces and that no officer should
remain by themselves. There were reports of people being trampled and officers were ordered not to go into the
crowd.
At approximately 2145 hours my group caught up with Sergeant Thomas on McNee. My officers assisted in
putting the large fences back up. Lieutenant Steele texted me to move my group towards Murworth for egress and
that they would be shutting down the event.
I notified my sergeants via text to head towards Murworth for egress. My group walked to Murworth and Lantern
Point via Lantern Point. We subsequently split into two groups to direct the crowds towards the exits. I confirmed
with my squad leaders that all our personnel were safe and accounted for. I attempted to state this information via
the radio but my communication was garbled (my radio was getting low on batteries). Hence, I sent Lieutenant
Steele a text message advising FF5 was split in three groups but we were all accounted for.
There was a request on the radio for more officers to go to the merchandise table because people were stealing
merchandise. I took about ten of my officers and fire fighters back into the concert area. We made it to the ferris
wheel when someone on the radio disregarded any more officers. We helped direct citizens towards the exits.
Often people would try to loiter and we encouraged them to keep walking towards the exits.
At approximately 2247 hours Sergeant Bashir called me advising his squad was at Kirby and Westridge directing
traffic and he requested additional units to assist in this endeavor. I advised that we would be enroute.
Approximately 15 minutes later I texted Sergeant Bashir advising my group got stuck at Murworth and Kirby
directing traffic. I confirmed that his intersection also had lots of foot traffic but that they were moving.
Once traffic cleared we walked back to the SRG Command Post. I confirmed with Lieutenant Steel that everyone
needed to meet with their squad leaders to turn in their overtime slips. Also, I learned the Astroworld concert
overtime was cancelled for the following day. I communicated this information to all my squad leaders. I left the
SRG Command Post at approximately 0030 hours to drive home.
Later the Homicide hold desk called me at approximately 0053 hours advising there was an active Homicide
investigation into approximately 9 deaths. I contacted Commander Deese via phone at approximately 0058 hours
to brief him. He advised Assistant Chief Null had been notified.

WITNESS STATEMENT
Date: 1/4/2022Time: 1:57 PM
On January 4, 2022, I Lieutenant , was ordered to submit this statement By Sergeant Krikor J.
Hekimian, employee # of the Criminal Investigations Command, Homicide Division, Special Investigations
Unit. I submit to questioning at his order as a condition of employment. In view of possible forfeiture, I have no
alternative but to abide by this order.
I do not have a Body Worn Camera (BWC) assigned to me nor did I have one during this event. In addition, I did
not come in contact with, provide any medical care, or sought medical attention for any person(s) throughout the
entirety of the outdoor festival operation. I arrived at 0530 hours, on Friday, November 5, 2021, and remained on
the footprint until departure at 0100 hours, on Saturday, November 6, 2021.
My role and responsibility at the Travis Scott Astroworld Festival as the on-site SRG Commander was the reactive
SRG Field Force for crowd control issues and to provide support to the extra-employment officers working the
festival. I conducted these duties from the SRG Command Post (CP). This was a separate location from the main
Special Operations Division Command Post run by the Special Events Unit (SEU). The SRG CP was a
"deployment lilly pad" where the SRG Field Forces could be deployed rapidly into the festival footprint as it was
located in the NRG Park Teal Lot (Kirby @ Murworth). This "command post" did not have a police radio, camera
access, phone, or internet capabilities but was a place close to the festival grounds where officers could be given
operational instructions, rest, and take meal breaks. I was the only person assigned to the SRG CP and worked
off of my city issued handheld radio and city cellphone. All Special Events and SRG roll calls for the festival were
conducted at the SEU CP (Orange Lot). All SRG Field Force deployments throughout the event were conducted
from the SRG CP (Teal Lot).
SRG Field Force #1 Leader (LT Michael L. Barrow, employee # was assigned to the dayshift in the NRG
Park Blue Lot (Westridge @ Kirby) and his field force was released at 1430 hours. The blue lot was the initial

A large image of a "countdown timer" appeared on the main stage (Yellow Lot) before Travis Scott's performance
began. It was communicated, via police radio, that the festival crowd began shifting towards the main stage and
that the crowd was getting dangerously dense. Shortly after the performance began, the crowd began pushing in
toward that stage. It was reported that the concert stage T-barriers had been compromised and that stage
personnel were working to re-enforce the barriers with some type of tape. Reports of "crowd crush" in front of the
stage and people being trampled began to come in. Reports of medical personnel performing CPR on multiple
festival goers that had been pulled from the increasing dense push toward the stage. Commander Hardin advised
all field forces to immediately regroup, stay together, move as a unit, and not to get separated into the festival
mob. There were calls for the festival organizers to stop the concert. It was reported that festival patrons were

medical tents near the main stage. SRG Field Forces began immediately assisting in the clearing and moving of

Before me, the undersigned authority, this day, personally appeared Kevin R. Tolls, a POLICE LIEUTENANT
My name is Kevin R. Tolls. My payroll number is I am a POLICE LIEUTENANT and I am assigned to the
Homicide Division on the Day Shift. My office telephone number is . My duty weapon is a
. My duty weapon did not discharge.
On Friday, November 5, 2021 I was working a Department approved extra job at NRG Park, permit# 520259. My
hours on that day were pre-approved to be 0600 to 0030 the following day. I was not wearing a Body Worn
Camera and did not record any action taken.
I reported for duty at approximately 5:45am at the event Command Post in the NRG Yellow Lot. I met with
Sergeant Saldivar who provided me with my first assignment. Festival attendees were gathering in the Blue Lot
on the other side of Kirby Street, and in time would be released to cross the pedestrian bridge over Kirby Street,
where another "gate" had been erected with metal detectors to meter people into the festival. Lt. W. L. Meeler and
I were assigned to the pedestrian bridge. Prior to the festival attendees being released from the Blue Lot, Lt.
Meeler and I crossed over the pedestrian bridge into the Blue Lot, and familiarized ourselves with the route the
attendees would take traveling from the Blue Lot to the Green Lot. We waited in the Green Lot with about 15 other
extra job officers for the festival attendees to arrive. Also in the Green Lot were several members of the Special
Response Group (SRG) as well and members of the Houston Police Department and Harris County Sheriffs
Department Mounted Patrol.

Narrative
At approximately 9:25am the first of the festival attendees were released from the Blue Lot, and they ran over the
bridge to the second gate in the Green Lot. They lined up in the established lines to the metal detectors, awaiting
the opening of the festival. Just prior to the opening of the festival, calls went out over the radio for all extra job
officers to report to the Merchandise tent, which was a large tent set up just inside the gates in the Green Lot.
Once the gates opened at 10:00am, the first of the attendees sprinted toward the Merchandise tent.
There were two lines leading to the Merchandise tent. The tent had effectively been divided in half, with barriers
set up on each half of the tent in large serpentine designs, in order to regulate the two lines to the merchandise.
When the gate opened, the first people past the gate jumped over the barriers, ultimately knocking them down.
This disrupted the serpentine on the side I was working, eliminating what would have been the orderly line. What
resulted was a large singular crowd pushing against the last remaining barrier adjacent to the tent. I and the other
extra job officers at the tent were forced to occasionally push back on the barriers to prevent a mass rush on the
merchandise. We attempted to meter people in an orderly fashion to allow them to purchase merchandise. We let
them in at what would have been the end of the line, but every time we would let people through there would be a
surge in the crowd that threatened the last barrier. Ultimately, a member of Travis Scott's security team came to
the line, advised the retail workers to shut down and they removed their point of sale devices from the
merchandise counter, and he advised the crowd that merchandise sales were temporarily stopped. We were able
to clear the crowd out of the barriers and festival employees reconstructed the barriers. Instead of recreating the
serpentine, they formed the barriers into about ten separate lines to the various points of sale on that half of the
tent. The other half remained in the serpentine design and never had sales disrupted.
A crowd started to form outside of the barriers, anticipating the line reopening. When they were ready to accept
customers again, I and about six of the extra job officers remained and attempted to regulate the people from the
crowd into the various lines. In an attempt to prevent another surge, we would only let about ten at a time out of
the crowd into the merchandise lines. We worked at this for around an hour, but eventually the crowd grew and
would surge every time we would allow people through and into the lines. Ultimately, we released the entire crowd
into the various lines. There was an initial rush which knocked several people over, but I and the other officers
were able to hold back the people long enough to get those that fell back on their feet, and safely in line. Once the
lines were established, the surge stopped and the attendees were content to wait in their respective lines. We
were relieved by other officers at the merchandise tent, and Lt. Meeler and I returned to the festival command
post.
We met with Lieutenant M. Cruz at around 1700 hours at the command post, and received our next assignment.
We were advised to report to the main stage at 7:30pm, along with about 20 other officers, where we would be
stationed during Travis Scott's performance. At 7:30pm, Lt. Meeler and I staged outside of the Medical Tent
adjacent to the main stage. A radio call went out for the other officers who were to be assigned to the stage. As
we waited for the officers to arrive at our staging location, I went to the stage to scout the location. I noted that the
barriers to the stage were different that the ones at the merchandise tent, as these were reinforced against any
possible crowd surge. I spoke with several of the event security guards, including one who identified as a
supervisor. He advised how he would like us positioned, and stated that we only needed to stand against the
stage, advising that he and the other security guards would handle any crowd issues against the barrier.
As the officers arrived at the staging location, we brought them into the secured area next to the stage and
positioned them intermittently along the stage. We were in place about an hour before Travis Scott took the stage.
The crowd along the barrier was already in place, and appeared excited and energized and eager for the
performance to begin. In this time frame, occasionally someone near or at the barrier would ask to be removed
from the crowd, at which time the security guards would physically pull them from the crowd floor in what
appeared to me to be a well-practiced, two man process. I positioned myself in the center of the area in front of
the stage and would periodically walk along the stage. The space in front of the stage remained clear of everyone
except security, medical personnel, and concert personnel until minutes before the concert, when it filled up with
VIP individuals.
When Travis Scott took the stage, the crowd expectedly became more excited. I would occasionally see people in
distress get removed from the crowd, where they would immediately be tended to by the medical personnel if
needed. Most of those removed from the crowd appeared fine and would just be escorted out of the secured area
to the back of the crowd. I am unsure of the exact time, but toward the end of the performance was when I

became aware of the first concert attendee that was in such distress that he was getting CPR from a police officer.
I immediately ensured that medical personal were aware so they could take over for the officer. That person was
removed by stretcher through the back of the secured area and to the medical tent. I returned to the center area
where I had original positioned myself. Shortly after the artist Drake came on stage, I was approached by a
concert employee about other concert attendees that were in medical distress. I looked into the crowd where it
was indicated that the individual was, but it was not possible to see anything due to the density of the crowd. It
was suggested by Sergeant (who advised that he was working Department overtime) that we form
an extraction team, so he gathered officers to enter the crowd. I was looking into the crowd from the center side
and he suggested that we enter the crowd from the rear. We went to the back of the crowd where the left side
(crowd perspective) rear barrier separated the crowd from the media/spectator tower. In the passage way
between the rear barrier and the tower, I observed two males getting CPR. I don't recall if it was officers or
medical personnel performing CPR, but it was a medical personnel that advised that we needed to move the
people out of the area. Apparently only one stretcher was immediately available so one needed to be moved by
hand. At this time Sergeant and the other officers entered the crowd, and with the assistance of medical
personnel and what I believe was other concert attendees, I carried the first of those two individuals by hand
toward the back of the crowd area. I wanted to return to where the other distressed individuals were, so I had
someone take over for me to help to carry the individual toward the back. I am uncertain who that was, it may
have been medical personnel or just someone that offered to help. When I returned, the second person getting
CPR was in the process of being removed on a backboard stretcher. I then entered the crowd where Sgt.
and the others had gone in. There were two more adult males on the ground receiving CPR. I assisted in keeping
the crowd back while this task was underway. I yelled to a medical personnel nearby that we needed a stretcher,
and that person said that one wasn't available and that we should carry them out by hand. I advised that medical
individual that one of the distressed individuals was particularly large and that it would not be possible to move
him by hand. The medical person acknowledged this and presumably went to locate a stretcher. Several minutes
passed before we had two stretchers arrive that we then used to carry the two males out of the crowd. Once we
passed the two over the barrier, others carried them to the back and on to the medical tent.
At the time of the event, I didn't have communication with anyone other than those who were assisting with the
removal of the concert attendees in medical distress. The only names I can recall were Sergeant ,
Officer T. Peacock, and Deputy Brown with Precinct 4 Constables Office. There were others there, I just don't
recall their names. I also don't recall if any of them were wearing body worn cameras.
It seemed like shortly after this, the concert came to an end. I didn't hear any announcements from the stage, it
seemed to me that the music ended and people began to disperse. We were instructed to usher people out of the
stage area and toward the exit. We were now in the back of the crowd, and we walked the grounds following the
crowd, guiding stragglers toward the Green Lot and the exit of the venue.
We were then advised of a large crowd that had gathered around the lockers in the Green Lot where concert
goers had been provided lockers for personal belongings. A large group had gathered as they wanted to obtain
their items as they left. Around 2200 hours, myself, Lt. Meeler, and a group of officers arrived at the lockers and
stood by as the concert goers obtained their items. This lasted until just after midnight. Once everyone was done
with the lockers, we returned to the command post, signed out, and left the NRG grounds at 0030 hours.
I understand that this statement is voluntary and not required by departmental policy. I have made this statement
voluntarily and have read this, my statement, and find it to be true and correct to the best of my knowledge as

Before me, the undersigned authority, this day, personally appeared Ryan M. Watson, a POLICE LIEUTENANT
My name is Ryan M. Watson. My payroll number is I am a POLICE LIEUTENANT and I am assigned to
the Special Operations Division on the Day shift.
Prior to the concert, I attended walkthroughs at NRG stadium with both HPD and event personnel on both
November 1, and November 4. On November 5, 2021, the day of the concert, I and the Houston Police
Department (HPD) Mounted Patrol Unit arrived at the NRG complex at 0600 hours, and parked trailers and
equipment on the east side of the Astrodome. Later that same day, I and the HPD Mounted Patrol Unit left the
NRG complex at approximately 1600 hours.
On November 5, 2021, my role at this event as a lieutenant in the Special Operations Division was both to
oversee the Mounted Patrol Unit as well as assist in the deployment and movement of on-duty HPD SRG
personnel at the NRG complex.
On November 1, 2021 I attended a preliminary walkthrough at NRG with Ryan Boros of the NRG facility. With
EAC Satterwhite and members of the Special Operations Division, we discussed the entry and flow plans for the
event. In order to avoid the stampede upon entry as was seen at the 2019 Astroworld concert, HPD personnel
emphasized to the event planners the need to have patrons enter the premises as soon as possible and maintain
a steady flow throughout the day. It was imperative that we avoid letting large groups to build up, then releasing
the patrons all at once. There was added concern about this occurring because video footage of fans
overrunning the gates during the 2019 Astroworld concert had been included in the hype video for this year's
concert, glorifying this behavior to would be attendees.
Furthermore, to avoid individuals without tickets rushing the lines, I suggested during the walkthrough that prior to
being allowed to enter the COVID screening que, a soft check of the individuals' tickets be performed. We
suggested that the soft check take place prior to entering blue lot, and again after crossing the bridge into green
lot. This however, was not done on the day of the concert.
On November 4, 2021, during a walkthrough with Special Operations Division personnel, and HPD command
staff, we reiterated the need to prevent a buildup of patrons directly to Seth Boardman of Live Nation. He told us
that he was ready to open the venue as soon as patrons "started stacking up". I also suggested that that water
barriers be set up in a zig-zag pattern along the path to the bridge, to slow patrons' progress thereby increasing
safety. Seth Boardman told me that in the live performance industry that is called a chicane. That improvement
was not implemented.
On November 5, 2021, at 0630 hours, I oversaw the deployment of Mounted Patrol in the NRG Blue Lot where the
initial crowds were gathering while awaiting COVID screening. The growing crowds were already unruly,
throwing water bottles and other objects while yelling and chanting. As the crowd grew, they began surging up
against the chain link fence, forcing private security to push back against the fence. Mounted Patrol was joined
by an SRG field force, who was going to assist in funneling the patrons from the COVID screening area up the
ramp and across the bridge into the Green Lot.
Based on the tenor of the crowd and the history of the Travis Scott Astroworld concert, I believed that the patrons
would come barreling out of the initial COVID screening area as soon as a gate was opened. I consulted with
Seth Boardman and asked him what the plan was to ensure the safe progress of the patrons. He told me that "as
soon as the gate is cut, they're going to push down the fence. Let them. We'll give them this fence." He
continued that "My security personnel will slow them down." However Live Nation only had 25-30 people for the
almost 2,000 that were restlessly waiting in the COVID screening area. At that time, I directed the SRG ground
officers and Mounted Patrol officers to use no police force to impede the patrons. They were ticket holding
customers, and running to the next gate was not a violation of the law, therefore police action would be
inappropriate. If the promoters of the event chose to expel patrons for their behavior, then police action could be
taken at that time. Otherwise the unruly behavior was only a violation of "house rules". Mr. Boardman made it
clear that no one would be ejected for pushing down the fence.
At about 0830 hours, as the Live Nation employees prepared to open the gate, I saw several photographers with
Suppl No

Narrative
professional grade video equipment line up along the route from the COVD screening area to the bridge into
Green Lot. They appeared to be employed by the event planners, based on the credential badges hanging from
their necks. They were down at a low angle to catch the frenzied running of the attendees that was about to
occur. Once the corner of the gate was opened, the patrons tore their way through the fence just as Mr.
Boardman had predicted. They came running past my Mounted Patrol officers and up the ramp into the Green
Lot. We observed no violations of the law while they came running past. Therefore no police action was taken.
Once the initial surge of ticketholders had made their way into Green Lot, the rush subsided, and attendees
became a steady trickle into Green Lot to await security screening for final entry into the venue.
However, instead of maintaining the steady trickle of people into the venue, the organizers allowed the crowd of
patrons in the Green Lot to build up. While this was taking place, I redeployed the Mounted Patrol to the Green
Lot, behind the security check points to await final entry into the venue by the thousands of patrons which were
amassing at the gates. This is where HPD Mounted Patrol linked up with the extra employment mounted officers
made up of mostly Harris County Sheriff's deputies. The camera personnel with their professional grade
equipment had also migrated to just inside the security check point to catch the rush through the security gates.
All the Mounted Patrol officers, both HPD and extra job, positioned themselves between the security check point
and the merchandising area, hoping that our presence would deter chaotic behavior. When the gates were
opened, there was a flood of people that had been building up in the open area of the Green Lot. The progress
through the security check point in Green Lot was less chaotic than from the Blue Lot, but still had an air of frenzy.
Seth Boardman of Live Nation was standing at the entrance watching the throngs pour through the gate while
the photographers videoed the activity.
When the ticket holders came through the security checkpoint, they ran directly toward the merchandising area in
Green Lot. While the patrons came in the entrances to that area, they immediately began hopping over
barricades and dismantling them. The crowd began to push toward the sales counter of the merchandising area,
causing the crowd to press up against the front barricades and security personnel who were positioned against
the sales counter. I requested additional resources to hold the barricades. Security personnel, extra job officers,
and on duty HPD personnel attempted to hold back the surging patrons who were scrambling to buy t-shirts and
other merchandise. I witnessed people spending tens of thousands of dollars on Travis Scott merchandise at one
time. Officers pleaded for orderliness, but the patrons at the front were being pressed up against the barricades
and were helpless to move. Officers had to help several up and over the barricades and out of the area to prevent
injury. The crowd in the merchandising que began to dismantle the network of barricades and pass them back
out of the way, which caused an even greater push forward. The representative from Live Nation, Seth
Boardman, requested additional security personnel to the merchandising area, but took no action to shut it down.
I directed HPD Mounted Patrol to temporarily block the entrance to the merchandising area to allow some of the
pressure to be taken off the que and the barricades to be reassembled. SRG officers were eventually able to
reestablish some order to the group and relieve the pressure on the front barricades.
At approximately 1130 hours, we received reports of large roving groups of people on Kirby drive attempting to
scale the exterior fences into the venue. I redeployed Mounted Patrol out the east gate of Green Lot and on to
Kirby. A few hundred people were running up and down the fence line and swarming over into Green Lot and
Teal Lot. Mounted Patrol quickly interdicted them and then pushed them northward toward McNee Road.
However, the NRG security personnel let the would-be trespassers enter into gate #10, where they walked around
the back side of NRG stadium to Blue Lot and across into the Green Lot, where they waited for an opportunity to
rush the gates. Once the crowd had left the street, it was time to feed and water the horses. I contacted Lt. Chris
Adolph of the Harris County Sheriff's Office Mounted Patrol, who was working extra employment at the time. I told
him we would be out of service for a short while, and he said his people would cover the Green Lot until we could
relieve them. During our break, the large group of people who had amassed in the open area of the Green Lot
after being driven off Kirby Drive, proceeded to overrun the VIP entrance on the east side of Green Lot. Footage
of this breach circulated in the media.
Upon HPD Mounted Patrol's return to the Green Lot, I found the fencing for the VIP entrance had been destroyed.
I posted my Mounted officers to block that entrance until event personnel could reconstruct the fencing. We
remained at that post until approximately 1600 hours, at which point the unit was relieved by Commander Skelton
so that the horses would be available for the second day of the concert.

infrared and color. Officers on the ground alerted us to areas of concern and I used the camera to zoom or pan
out to give the ground units information of what we were observing from the air. The camera was also downlinked
so anyone with access to the downlink video could observe live video. I made a comment on the radio, "that I
would be amazed if no one got hurt down there". This comment was made based on my view of the scene and
listening to the radio traffic of officer's near the stage. At one point, I heard an officer mention people passed out
and CPR being performed and I asked for a location so I could zoom in and assist in directing personnel to the

My specific role in the Travis Scott event for November 5, 2021 was given to me by Lieutenant Sauer on the
evening of November 4th, 2021. I was to be the liaison in the NRG command post to extra job officers and to the
HPD Command Post, to provide logistical support for the event as directed, and to keep track of prisoner
processing. It was my understanding from Lieutenant Sauer this was a very large music festival and HPD was
going to use off-duty extra-job officers employed by NRG as well as SRG and SWAT units inside and around the
perimeter of the Astroworld Festival footprint to address security and mobility for the event. Lieutenant Sauer
mentioned in past Astroworld Festival events securing the perimeter and managing the crowd was very
challenging and the arrest log information wasn't recorded how he would prefer.
In my role as liaison, I was assigned to the Purple Lot area of the NRG complex, but did go to the main HPD
Command Post in the Orange lot where I observed the HPD and HFD command posts in this lot. While in the
HPD Command Post during the day I consulted with HPD Command Post personnel regarding the event and
prisoner processing and met with Lieutenant Sauer. Lieutenant Sauer and I went to the Purple Lot and reviewed
the prisoner processing area setup. Lieutenant Sauer introduced me to staff and extra-job officers working the
NRG command post. He told me the NRG command post commander was TSU Police Chief Mary Young and
introduced me to her. Chief Young was working in an ex-job capacity and was assisted by HPD Officer Everett
Johnson who was also working in an extra-job capacity in the command post. Harris County Sheriff's Office Arson
Lieutenant James Singleton was also stationed inside the NRG Command Post, although I did not see his name
on the list of extra job officers provided to me in my confidential documents. I'm not sure if he was there as part of
his official duties or serving in a police extra job capacity. While in the NRG command post I observed many
personnel representing different groups working the event. I recall meeting two staffers who stated they were
working for NRG, and four staffers who were working for Live Nation, and Paradocs Medical staffer John
Saltzman, Harris County EMS Mr. Gonzales who I understood was working for Paradocs, and another Paradocs
female staffer.
I was directed by Lieutenant Sauer to be on YICS-5. Lieutenant Singleton and I were communicating via handheld
radio on channel YICS-5-Law Enforcement Exterior / Traffic (Primary) channel relaying information and making
requests of the HPD Command Post. My unit number was 79Y18. It was my understanding Chief Young and
Officer Johnson were to be communicating via handheld radio on channel YICS-8-Law Enforcement (Primary) for
the interior response of the event. Lieutenant Sauer explained extra job officers were responsible to be the
primary for the interior of the venue and were to be supported by on duty HPD personnel. Because of the large
perimeter, hundreds of on-duty HPD officers were being used to secure the perimeter and they would be
operating on YICS-5. There were also plainclothes officers working the festival event.
The set up at the Purple Lot was divided up into temporary Connex box trailers that provided work areas / stations
for prisoner processing for the event, a staging area for deployment of some extra-job officers arriving for work
throughout the day, the NRG command post, the feeding area for the event, and a few event security contractors.
Upon my arrival that morning at around 0800 hours, the event contractors were still in the process of connecting
electric power to some of the Connex boxes in the Purple Lot. I communicated this to Lieutenant Sauer and made
arrangements to bring in extension cords, light setups, and power strips in the event the power was not connected
and an alternative plan for power was needed. The prisoner processing Connex trailer was without power until
mid-morning. I further assisted the prisoner processing area by providing HPD laptops and setting up tables and
chairs to be used in the prisoner processing area as workstations. I believe we set up three officer workstations in
the temporary trailer to be used by officers to do reports related to arrests. I also assisted getting lap top
computers to the juvenile prisoner processing area staged at a different site on the property. HPD Sergeant M.
Saldivar, former Commander M. Lentini, and former Assistant Chief M. Skillern were points of contact for the
prisoner processing areas. It was expressed the contractor for the event was behind in getting the event set up.

Narrative
As the day progressed, my observations were that the event was very crowded, and many individuals were trying
to enter the festival illegally by breaching the perimeter. There were reports of the crowd overwhelming an
entrance gate by knocking over screening stations and metal detectors to forcibly enter the festival without being
screened. There were many calls over the police radio regarding roving crowds and individuals trying to jump the
fences around the perimeter to enter the festival footprint. We experienced crowds trying to enter the event by
jumping the fence that secured the Purple Lot, large groups of people were congregating in the alley behind the
Festia Market along the fence line to the Purple Lot. There were several times event staff would ask me to go
outside the NRG command post to warn the crowd not to jump the fence. The HPD Command Post was notified
of this activity and officers assisted trying to secure this perimeter. I also spoke with SRG Sergeant Pate at the
NRG command post about securing this fence line. This type of action occurred throughout the afternoon and into
the nighttime during the festival event making for a very chaotic event. In addition to operating on channel YICS-5
to communicate, I used my City issued cell phone, number to communicate information I received
from personnel inside the NRG command post to personnel working the HPD Command Posts. This information
was sent via text message or voice call. As the event continued into the evening the crowd behavior continued to
escalate. There were large groups of individuals who did not appear to have tickets to attend the event that were
roaming the perimeter. Perimeter officers voiced several calls to the HPD Command Post over the channel
YICS-5, requesting help to manage these crowds that were circling the perimeter and, in some cases, getting
through the perimeter fence to enter the festival illegally. This type of activity increased substantially as the event
progressed.
As the event continued my interactions were with HPD personnel, NRG personnel, Harris County Sheriffs' Office
personnel, TSU Chief Young, Paradocs Medical Dispatch, private event security contractors, and being present
during some of the prisoner processing. I met with Sergeant Saldivar to discuss prisoner processing flow and
information collection. I recall, he assigned a HPD extra job supervisor, and HPD extra job Officers Timothy
Roberts and Waleed Hassan to the prisoner processing area. As the day progressed Officer Hassan was moved
to the juvenile processing area. It's my understanding Sergeant Saldivar handled the assigning of extra-job
support officers and a supervisor to the prisoner processing area. I also interacted with Commander Lentini and
former Assistant Chief Skillern at the prisoner processing area regarding flow of prisoner processing and juvenile
prisoner processing. I interacted Assistant Chief Hardin, Executive Assistant Chief Satterwhite, and several
on-duty and ex-job officers while at the Purple lot.
My decisions and actions during the Travis Scott event revolved around being the liaison between the HPD
Command Post and the NRG command post. In this role I would communicate requests for assistance from the
NRG command post and updates to the HPD Command Post, I also provided logistical support to the event, and
communicated with officers working the prisoner-processing area to gather arrest information.
When Travis Scott began to perform on stage, I was going between the NRG command post and the
prisoner-processing area in Purple lot. The concert, merchandising, and attractions venues were displayed on
video monitors in the NRG Command Post trailer. As I was observing the concert on video and listening to radio
channel YICS-5, Chief Young and Officer Johnson were observing and listening to radio channel YICS-8.
Paradocs personnel in the NRG command post were operating off their own radio system to communicate with
EMTs inside the concert venue, as were the private security contractors.
As the Travis Scott concert was going, Paradocs staff inside the NRG command post were being alerted to
person down calls by their EMT inside the concert area. The Paradocs supervisor inside the NRG command post,
Mr. John Saltzman requested HFD assist with medical emergencies by Stage one tower. He reported the
Paradocs EMT in that area were performing active CPR. I radioed the HPD Command Post and requested they
have HFD respond to the scene, stage one by the towers for a CPR in progress call at that location. The HPD
Command Post confirmed HPD Sergeant Rashard was coordinating with HFD to send them to the location to
help. The Command Post relayed over the radio that HFD was close and the HFD district chief was assessing
how to reach the patient. The HPD Command Post reported HFD was going to need HPD escort to reach the
patient. During this time all three Paradocs staffers appeared to be communicating with EMT staff via their radios
but expressed they were having trouble hearing EMTs in the field because of the crowd and concert noise. I was
told by the HPD Command Post, HFD resources were being directed in to assist Paradocs technicians, during this
time Paradocs informed me of other cardiac emergencies they were working but was unable to tell me where. I

got on the radio and notified the HPD Command Post and requested they get some HPD officers to escort HFD.
During this time HFD was on the radio mobilizing resources and reported that Paradocs had declared an MCI
(Mass Casualty Incident). Inside the NRG command post we were working with the HPD Command Post to clear
routes for HFD medical vehicles and request additional resources. During the Travis Scott performance I spoke to
Sergeant Rogers in the HPD Command Post by phone several times and he stated the concert was going to be
ended early and Commanders were formulating a plan with the concert organizer and mobilizing field forces to
assist with crowd control and shutting down the event. Actions were taken to direct emergency responders, plan
the opening of access gates for crowd egress, coordinating routes to direct ambulances to the medical tent,
evacuate casualties, report cardiac incidents, and report a possible Fentanyl exposure of a security guard. A
Paradocs Medical staffer reported a security guard passed out and was revived with Narcan. After interviews of
the involved parties, it was discovered later no Fentanyl exposure had occurred.

SERGEANT believed by me to be a credible person, who after being sworn upon his oath, did depose and say:
My name is Andrew S. Maldonado. My payroll number is I am a POLICE SERGEANT and I am assigned
to the Clear lake Division on the Evenings shift.
1.I left the Clear Lake Station at approximately 11:15 am on November 5th, 2021. I arrived at the NRG property a
few minutes before noon. I left the NRG property at approx. 12:15am on November 6, 2021.
2.I was a supervisor for field force #4 squad 1 that included officer from Clear Lake Division. We were originally
assigned to merchandise, but were immediately reassigned to be "rovers" by the command post. We then
assisted by transporting possible trespassers to the purple lot. That assignment didn't last long as we were
reassigned to watch the perimeter gates. Then we moved our attention to the main gates where security needed
assistance keeping people from rushing the gates.
3. Patrons attempted numerous times to rush the gate. Clear Lake Officers and myself had to assist the main gate
security with hostile patrons at times. I had to call for Harris County mounted patrol because we needed help. We
then moved our positions forward closer to the bridge and started to move non-wrist band wearing people out of
the venue. Officers observed a mob rush the bridge and jump over a gate, but could not move forward. We had

the trespassers wait so we could open the gate and trespass them off the property. There is BWC footage of this
mob rush incident for myself and other Clear Lake Officers. We then held the position on the bridge and assisted
security personnel by identifying and letting patrons with wrist bands through.
4.I did not provide any medical care at this event. During the concert, the group of officers I was with were alerted
by citizens to a female who was already out of the crowd and not breathing. We made our way to her and
observed citizens performing chest compressions on her. Seeing that the medical tent was in close proximity, with
a little help I was able to place the injured Hispanic female over my right shoulder as my officers cleared a path
for us to the medical tent. I carried her as far as I could and we were immediately able to get the medical staff
attention and
the female tended to. There may be BWC of this incident on Officer G. Garibays BWC but most of our camera
batteries had died by then.
5.G. Garibay, D. Ortega, N. Smith, A. Yzquierdo, M. Martin have the relevant knowledge of this event but I am not
sure about BWC footage.
6.I am not sure of any noteworthy communications that I had during the event.

Before me, the undersigned authority, this day, personally appeared Nicholas Matson, believed by me to be a
credible person, who after being did depose and say:
My name is Nicholas Matson. My payroll number is I am a Police Sergeant and I am assigned to the
Patrol Region 1 on day shift. My contact number is
I was assigned to the Homeland Security Command as the Administrative Sergeant and did not have a specific
role or assignment. I was assisting SRG with logistics and various other tasks during the event. I was there both
during my normal shift and in an overtime capacity. Due to the length of time since this event, I am unsure of the
exact times I was at the event. I worked the event on overtime from 1500 hours until approximately 2400 hours.
My regular shift is 0700 hours-1500 hours and my days off are Saturday and Sunday.
I did not have a specific stationary assignment, as I was assisting SRG with logistics and other functions at the
SRG Command post. I was not wearing a body worn camera and did not capture any footage during my
assignment. I do not recall recording anything on my personal device and I do not remember anyone sending
anything to me regarding the incident.
Prior to Travis Scott taking the stage, I was approached by EAC Satterwhite at the SRG Command post. EAC
Satterwhite asked myself and Sgt. Riley to go with him and assess the crowd and the inside of the venue before
the performance. Sgt. Riley and I rode with EAC Satterwhite to an access point on what I believe was located on
the north side of the event. There we were met by Commanders T. Hardin, J. Skelton, and K. Seafous along with
Sgt. D. Gonzales and an HFD Fire Chief. Once inside the event we walked towards the main stage area and
stood near a large statue of Travis Scott. During this time, we were approached by several citizens asking for
directions and other questions regarding the event. We stood in that area for several minutes waiting for the
concert to start and assessing the crowd. At no time while we were watching the crowd, did we observe anyone
having medical issues or any forms of a disturbance. The crowd seemed to be relatively well behaved before the
concert began and the people were meandering around conversing with each other. While we were standing there
Suppl No
1490724-21 0092
Narrative
a countdown began and we watched the crowd make their way towards the main stage area.
Shortly after the concert started, EAC Satterwhite gathered our group together, and told us that a section of the
barricade was separating near the front of the stage and that the barricade was in danger of potentially failing. At
this point, the music and crowd was so loud that it was very hard to hear what exactly was being said, and radio/
cell phone traffic was almost impossible. We then followed EAC Satterwhite back to the access point where it
was quieter and the decision was made that we needed to get an up close look at the barricade in order to assess
if there was any danger of it failing.
Once the decision was made that we needed to visual inspect the failing barricade, we quickly traveled backstage
and then down into the moat area located along the main stage. We walked in front of the stage and went to
where the failing barricade was reported to be. We observed the barricade had been secured with ratchet straps
and was being held in place by security personnel as well. At that point, EAC Satterwhite had a brief conversation
with one of the organizers names Seth and some of the Commanders, but due to the extreme loud noise I was not
able to hear this conversation. We then left this area and returned to the area behind the stage where EAC
Satterwhite and the Commanders began discussing the integrity of the barricade and what we should do to
ensure the safety of the patrons and our Officers working the event, in case the barricade were to fail. EAC
Satterwhite attempted to use his radio to communicate with the Command post and advise them of the situation,
but due to loud noise he was unable to get out over the radio. Sgt. Riley opened a connex box being used by
concert staff as an office and the meeting moved inside where EAC Satterwhite was able to use his radio.
Shortly after EAC Satterwhite was advised that patrons were climbing the camera towers located in front of the
main stage, and that the camera personnel were requesting help. We got together as a group and proceeded to
head that way. We headed back towards the front of the stage and we were immediately met by a young male
laying on his back with a paramedic and unknown HPD officer providing medical aid. We briefly checked on his
status and were then advised we had several other patrons down in the crowd suffering from medical
emergencies. We then quickly moved to try and assist these other patrons who were in need of medical
assistance along with the people climbing the camera tower. I followed EAC Satterwhite as we pushed through
the crowds of people through the moat area towards the camera tower. When we arrived, I did not observe
anyone climbing the tower, but we were then immediately directed to a female who was laying on her back inside
the barricaded area.
We observed an unknown patron attempting to do chest compressions on her. We immediately acted and
cleared the crowd away from her and made them back up. EAC Satterwhite immediately dropped to his knees
and began doing chest compressions on her. I then got down on my knees after clearing the crowd and began
assisting EAC Satterwhite. The victim was already partially in the mud and partially on a back board. I grabbed
her lower body and moved the rest of her body on the back board. Due to the large crowd around her, her
nonresponsive state, and her location in the crowd, we decided not to wait for a medical team to arrive, and began
evacuating her to the medical tent ourselves. Sgt. Riley located a medical staff member who was attempting to
go for help, and advised him that help was not coming and we needed his help to evacuate her. We then lifted
her on the back board and began carrying her over the barricades and into the dense crowd.
Unfortunately, during this time the victim was not secured on the back board and when she was being moved over
the barricade her body shifted and she slipped off hitting the ground. I remember seeing several people in the
crowd videotaping the incident and taking pictures. We quickly loaded her back onto the stretcher and carried her
through the dense crowd and to the medical tent. Once in the medical tent EAC Satterwhite pulled out a dose of
Narcan, but due to the large crowd of medical personnel in the tent, I do not know if he administered the dose or if
the medical staff did. Once the victim was being treated by the medical professionals, we exited the tent and met
as a group outside of the medical tent. EAC Satterwhite then immediately made the decision to shut the concert
down. EAC Satterwhite attempted to contact Seth, one of the organizers, to tell him to shut it down but was
unable to reach him. So EAC Satterwhite made the decision to make our way back into the crowd and to the back
stage to shut the concert down. I followed EAC Satterwhite through the crowd, followed by Commanders
Skelton, Hardin, Seafous, and Sgts. Riley, and Gonzales. Due to the large dense crowd and the barricades we
ended up getting separated from the rest of the group, and I stayed with EAC Satterwhite. We made our way
back stage and met with the group of individuals who were running the concert, I specifically remember two
people whom EAC Satterwhite spoke with, an unknown black male with a beard, and an unknown older white
Suppl No

Narrative
male. Both males had headsets and microphones and were advised by EAC Satterwhite that we had multiple
individuals down in the crowd and we needed to shut the concert down immediately. I remember EAC Satterwhite
telling them that we have people dying and the unknown black male with a beard responded to the effect of but
they aren't dead yet right? EAC Satterwhite again advised them that they needed to shut the concert down right
now and they asked if they could have 10 minutes so that they could shut it down the right way. EAC Satterwhite
explained to them that he would give them a few minutes so that they could avoid a possible riot and avoid any
more injuries or loss of life and we could get the crowd to disperse in an orderly fashion. I was present for this
conversation, but due to the length or time since the event and the extreme loud noise I do not recall everything
that was said. EAC Satterwhite agreed to give them the 10 minutes they requested and asked me to convey over
the radio to the command post where we were and what we were doing. Unfortunately, my radio was damaged
by the crowd, while evacuating the victim to the medical tent and was not able to get out over the air. I attempted
to use my cell phone but was unable to reach anyone, in part to the loss of signal and the loud noise from the
event.
EAC Satterwhite then had me gather some of our react squads who were located near the main stage and
advised them that we were shutting down the concert and that they needed to be ready in case we had any issues
when the crowd began to disperse. I had them staged near the back stage just in case the crowd tried to rush
the stage area or make their way to the backstage area. Once the concert was over we were met by Chief Finner,
his staff, Commanders Hardin, Skelton, Seafous, and Sgts. Riley, and Gonzales. We then walked the grounds
and went back over towards the medical tents, where the Commanders and Chiefs got together for a meeting.
This, my statement, consisting of 172 pages has been read to me by SGT. Krikor Hekimian and I find it true and
correct to the best of my knowledge.

SERGEANT and I am assigned to the Gang Division on the Swing shift.
I, Sergeant. , Employee# am currently assigned to the Gang Division. My regular duty
hours are from 1900 hours to 0500 hours mid my days off are Sunday, Monday, and Tuesdays.
I received an email, I believe from Patrol Region 1, requesting a certain level of staffing for the event at NRG from
the Gang Division. I was given the opportunity to volunteer to work at the event and was advised that beyond the
duration of my shift, I would receive overtime. Knowing that if I did not volunteer, I would probably be drafted but
would not get any choice in the matter, I felt that I should volunteer and at least get my pick of the day to work. I
worked the event on duty. My shift was from 0800 to the conclusion of the event which was at approximately 0000
hours.
Suppl No
1490724-21 0092
Narrative
I believe in the original assignment packet I was assigned to a parking lot. I am not certain but I believe it may
have been the "Teal Lot".
Throughout the course of the event, even beginning in the early afternoon hours, I began to see that as instances
came up that necessitated police action, officers would fill and flow to respond to those events. Seeing that our
area demanded little police presence, and following common sense, I brought the group of officers with whom I
normally work with over near the secondary stage area. That was where many of the patrons attending the event
were located and thought it was a better position to be in if a police response was needed. We spent the majority
of our time at, near, or around this area. Within the last hour prior to the headliner, Travis Scott, some officers and
I moved over to the main stage area as this made the most sense in case police action was needed.
Approximately 45 minutes prior to the opening song, we moved in front of the main stage area. I spoke with
Lieutenant K. Tolls, who advised that they would need officers around the front of the stage. I advised him that I
had a group of officers with me and that we could help with that. This was where I spent most of my time through
the end of the event.I do not specifically remember all personnel assigned to me, but the following officers were
with me throughout most of the event: Officer T. Peacock, Officer Officer J. Lopez, Officer
, Officer C. Davis, and Officer H. Price.
I was wearing a body worn camera, but early on in the afternoon I noticed that my camera had died. I requested a
time check via the radio back channel that we were using for the event. I could not activate my body worn
camera to capture any footage during my assignment because my camera was dead. All events that I normally
would have activated my camera for, occurred after the camera had died.
I do not remember who advised me but towards the end of the Travis Scott performance, I heard someone say a
patron had died. Other officers and I went down the aisle that went directly from the center of the stage and fed
out into the audience. I observed a younger Hispanic male that was just over the barricade fence, in the aisle. I
observed that his face appeared to be blue and lifeless. I believe medical personnel was already tending to him
and that a cart arrived and took him away.
I proceeded back to the area near the front of the stage. Within five minutes of returning to this area, a white
female security guard approached me and advised there were three people that were dead in the crowd. I asked
her where and she pointed to the right. In my immediate area was Lieutenant Tolls, as well as Officers Peacock,
and Lopez. The crowd was very thick and there was a lack of radio communication. Our radio
communication around loud noises was absolutely unreadable. I immediately conferred with Lieutenant Tolls
about what we needed to do, and I asked if we should go in as a team to assess the situation and take action as
necessary. He agreed that made the most sense. I told Officers Tellez, Lopez, and Peacock that we were going to
go into the crowd and that we needed to stick together. We moved down the aisle that extended from the center
of the stage and as we walked away from the stage, we went to the right. Immediately outside of the barricade, we
observed two unconscious males. I told someone to do a sternum rub and they did and one of the males
responded, the other did not. Medical personnel arrived right after we got there and took over the treatment of the
individuals.
I remember that we went over the metal barricade and moved into the crowd back towards the stage. I observed
two additional unconscious obese males that were down next to each other. I observed individuals from the crowd
were perfo1ming CPR and appeared to be extremely proficient. I believe there were officers that were doing this
also. I was advised that medic personnel had been advised and was enroute. I kept the crowd off of the officers
and the unconscious individuals. Minutes later, two stretchers or backboards arrived. We assisted in placing the
males onto the stretchers and took them out the way that we came in. After getting over the barricade, the males
were loaded onto a medic cart and that was that last time I saw them. I did not administer any Narcan and I did
not personally perform CPR.
Following the event, I asked Lieutenant Tolls what would be needed as far as documentation of our actions in
either a report or supplement. He advised that we did not need to do anything as it was a medical issue.
During my assignment, I took a picture on my personal cell phone of my view from backstage at the secondary
stage where performances were occurring all afternoon. I later took a picture of where I was in proximity to the
main stage during the beginning of the headliner performance.

questions below to the best of my ability and believe my responses accurately summarize the actions I took and
observed.
For each period of time that you were present at (Travis Scott Concert / Astroworld Festival) on November 5-6,
2021, please state in detail:
(1)Your time(s) of arrival/ departure.
I arrived around 0930-1000 on 11/5 and left around 0330 on 11/6.
(2)Your role or assignment including location(s) or area(s) covered;
As Homeland Security Command's Special Project Sergeant I did not have specific role or assignment. I carried
out logistical tasks like retrieving/delivering cases of water for SRG to use during the event. I also assisted with
some of the role calls as officers arrived. I assisted with food distribution. For the majority of the event I was at
the SRG Command post.
(3)Any law enforcement action taken by or observed by you and whether you have any BWC video or
record of any such action;
Just prior to Travis Scott taking the stage, I was approached by EAC Satterwhite at the SRG Command Post. He
was driving a Polaris ATV and was alone. He asked Sgt. N. Matson me to go with him to get a look at the crowd.
We agreed, and we drove to an access point on the north side of the venue. We met Commanders T. Hardin, J.
Skelton, and K. Seafous as well as Sgt. D. Gonzales and a HFD Fire Chief (I do not remember being introduced
to him, and I do not recall his name.) then walked into the festival. We stood about 100 yards from the stage and
off to the side (near some trees and a Travis Scott sculpture). I do not recall what time it was, but the large timer
on the screen was still counting down. We stood there for several minutes and members of the group answered
questions and provided directions to patrons. When the countdown concluded, I saw patrons from the
merchandise tents and surrounding areas move toward the stage. I do not recall any rush or urgency in their
movement.
Moments later, EAC Satterwhite gathered us behind the Travis Scott statue and told us that a section of the
barricade separating the crowd from the "moat" surrounding the stage was showing signs of failure. Even at this
distance from the stage, it was extremely hard to hear EAC Satterwhite speaking, radio and cell phone
communication was even harder to hear if at all possible. We quickly walked to the Polaris vehicles near the gate,
and went to the Festival Command Post, I believe EAC Satterwhite was looking for Seth. EAC Satterwhite quickly
decided that we would return to the stage, and look at the potential failure first hand. We did.
Upon arriving inside the "moat" Seth walked our group to a small section of barricade that had been ratchet
strapped with multiple straps. Additionally, security was bracing the fencing with their bodies. I was not a part of
the conversation regarding the barricade. While they talked I remember looking at the crowd, notably those near
the weakened fencing, and do not remember anyone looking like they were in distress. As we stood there, many
patrons who had managed to get over the fence were being escorted (walked) around the moat by security. I
remember one person being carried out. I do not know where these patrons were exiting the moat.
We left this area and returned to an area behind the stage. I believe EAC Satterwhite and the Commanders were
discussing the integrity of the barrier, and plans should the barrier situation worsen. I remember EAC Satterwhite
attempting to use his radio, but due to the excessive noise, I was unable to hear what he was saying. I opened a
door to a connex box that was being used by show runners, and it was still very loud inside, but quieter. I
gestured to EAC Satterwhite to enter, and he was able to communicate over the radio.
Very shortly thereafter, we were told that patrons were climbing the control towers in front of the stage. We
grouped up and headed back to the front of the stage to work that problem out. We were quickly pulled into

several medical emergencies which I will address in the response to the next question.
Following the event, I resumed logistical duties, driving Chiefs around in the Polaris, assisting the command post
with compiling information ahead of the press conference, secured crime scene tape and directed officers to
secure the vast scene as best as possible. I was relieved well into the next morning, and asked detectives on
scene if I was needed. They said I was not. I met with Commander Hardin at the HPD Command Post and was
released around 0330.
As I had no reasonable expectation of interacting with the public, and I am not issued one permanently, I was not
wearing a BWC.
(4) Any medical care provided by or observed by you and whether you have any BWC video or record of
any such care;
As we walked back into the moat, we saw a young male laying on his back with a member of event medical, and
an unknown HPD officer providing what looked like medical aid. I believe Commander Hardin checked on the
officer, and told Sgt. Gonzales and me to stay with him as they intended to continue on. I intended to do as he
instructed, but I concluded that since the officer and medical personnel were already assisting him, I would be
needed more to assist with removing the patrons from the control tower, and/or crowd control.
Sgt. Gonzalez and I rejoined the group which had made its way to the front of the stage and was preparing to
head out into the moat toward the control tower. The moat was packed with people. I believe it was a mix of
private security and patrons. I grabbed the back of Commander Skelton's (I believe) uniform, and told him to
move up. I began pushing him forward through the crowd moat. I believe as we made our way toward the control
tower I saw medical staff treating another patient in the moat. I am not sure where or when that took place. We
arrived at the control tower, and I do not recall seeing anyone climbing the tower. A second later we were
directed to a woman laying on her back inside the barricades.
She was near the outermost perimeter of the moat. An unknown patron was providing chest compressions as we
arrived. EAC Satterwhite dropped to his knees without hesitation and began chest compressions. I began
looking for medical staff and saw a man wearing a red windbreaker just outside the fence. I quickly walked over
and asked if he was medical staff. As he was responding that he was, I reached over and pulled him over the
fence and into inside the moat. I pointed to the woman Chief and told him to go help. He told me that he was
waiting for help. I told him no one was coming and he needed to help her. He rushed over, and I returned to the
fence. I stood on the step and scanned the crowd for additional medical staff, and medical golf carts. I didn't see
any. I returned to the group, who had placed the woman on a back board, and was told that we were going to
move her. I picked up a corner of the board and moved toward the fence. When I reached the fence, I laid the
board on the fence and hopped over. As I waited for the rest of our group to jump the fence I saw that many
patrons were filming us with cell phones. I called out to them and pled for them to help. A man did. As he and
some others (Sgt. Matson, EAC Satterwhite, and Commander Hardin I believe) were now on the outside of the
fence, I lifted my corner and began sliding the backboard along the barricade. Regrettably, I did not announce
intention to lift and move to the rest of the group. Some reacted and held strong, but ultimately the unsecured
woman fell from the backboard and onto the ground. We quickly recovered and pulled her onto the backboard.
We then lifted her and began carrying her out of the crowd. I do not know where they came from, but what I
believe was a Constable and a Security guard began helping us move the crowd as we carried the woman out.
We carried her from the back fence all the way to the merchandise tables and turned left. In the noise and chaos I
forgot the medical tent was to the right. After our group broke free from the crowd, we realized the directional
mistake, and turned back into the crowd. We carried her through the crowd into the medical tent. Once inside, I
attempted to catch my breath and noted EAC Satterwhite holding up a Narcar dose. He said "Narcan" and knelt
down into the mass of medical staff hovering over her body.
EAC Satterwhite told us that we had to go shut the show down, we agreed and our group headed back toward the
stage. Some of us became separated when trying to jump the fence back into the moat. I stayed to help those
having trouble, and in doing so was lost Chief Satterwhite and Sgt. Matson. It is my understanding they went to

shut the concern down. I remained with Sgt. Gonzales, and Commander Skelton. Commander Skelton led us to
the connex box behind the stage, and discussed the need to get any HPD personnel in the moat to safety. Chief
Finner and his staff arrived around this time, and we all walked back out into the moat area. The HPD officers in
the moat area were recalled to the connex box behind the stage, and a few minutes later Travis Scott ended the
concert.
We collectively moved to the medical tent, and I stood by as the Chiefs discussed the incident and decided what
to do next.

My name is Erik S. Holland. My payroll number is and my badge number is 7619. I am a Senior Police
Officer and I am assigned to the Tactical Operations Division on the Days shift.
On Wednesday December 8, 2021, I Officer E. Holland PR# unit 1624 assigned to the Houston Police
SWAT detail was requested by Officer Alvarado with SIU Homicide Division to answer questions in regards to the
Travis Scott Astroworld Festival incident.
The Houston Police SWAT detail was tasked in providing a Tactical Response Plan for the Travis Scott Festival at
NRG Park (Yellow Lot) on November 5 & 6 2021 (Friday & Saturday). SWAT Counter Assault Teams (CAT) and
Marksman Over watch teams were assigned to provide support and provide a rapid response to an active attack
or incident during the Astroworld Event at NRG Park. SWAT Officers were working an adjusted shift of 1200-2400
hours for this event. My regular duty hours are 0700-1500 with Saturday and Sunday off. This shift extended into
overtime with the hours of 2000-0030.
I was assigned as CAT 2, partnered with Officer Seay PR# and Officer Hudeck PR# loaded in an
unmarked black Chevy Tahoe SUV. Our team was positioned at the intersection of Mulworth Dr. and Lantern
Point Dr. which was the southeast corner main entrance into the Yellow Lot.
I was wearing a BWC which was activated during this incident. Officer Hudeck and I are
Credentialed EMT-Basic with the Houston Fire Department under the medical direction of Doctor Persse. I recall
Doctor Lars requesting for any available EMT's to respond to the Medical tent that was established on the west
side of the Yellow Lot. Lieutenant Besselman advised our team to respond to support Doctor Lars.
As I approached the medical tent I activated my BWC. Upon entering the tent I located Doctor Lars and observed
CPR in progress on a white female. I asked Doctor Lars what he needed, he advised me to help the medical staff
with whatever they needed. Medical staff brought another male victim who was blue in the face and
non-responsive. I assisted in placing him on a gurney, and then moved him into one of the triage bays where I
began CPR on him. I continued CPR on the male until Officer Hudeck relieved me. A short time later, another

male was brought into the tent who also was blue in the face and non-responsive. As medical staff provided CPR
on him, I began providing ventilation utilizing a bag valve mask (BVM). Medical staff then began placing a Lucus
CPR machine on the male and I assisted by securing the males left wrist to the machine with Velcro straps. I
observed one of the female Doctors intubating the male to secure an airway. Once in place I began providing
ventilation with the BVM again until relieved by medical staff. Officer Hudeck then advised that our assistance was
needed by the front stage to retrieve bodies that were down on the ground.
Officer Hudeck, Officer Seay and I began negotiating through the large compact crowd towards the stage.
Security and event staff members told us that there were no more bodies on the ground at that time. We then
proceeded back to the medical tent to assist in any way we could.
As I re-entered the tent I saw another W/M down on the ground with EMT's providing CPR. I then assisted with
moving the first male I provided CPR on to a gurney to be loaded onto an ambulance and transported to the
hospital. Doctor Lars then advised for Officer Hudeck and myself to assist with another unresponsive male to
provide CPR because EMT's were getting exhausted. I provided CPR on the male until another EMT relieved me.
I did not administer any Narcan to any of the patients I provided care. I didn't have any further contact with
patients after that. I did not record anything on my personal device nor did I receive anything regarding this
incident. I do not have any further information in regards to this investigation.

I, Senior Police Officer Matthew Hurban, am assigned to the Tactical Operations Division SWAT Detail with a

Travis Scott Astroworld event at NRG Park. I was assigned to work this event through the SWAT command as
an on duty assignment, coordinated through the Special Operations Division. Hours of operation on this day were
1200 - 0030 hours. For this assignment, I was tasked with being a part of the sUAS Team under Unit 1633 with
Officers E. T. Sutton and M. C. Amato. The sUAS Team was assigned to be in the Teal lot when flying the drone,
although this was not a fixed post, officers could move around the NRG footprint of the event as needed.
At one point during the event, Sergeant T. G. Calabro was asked by the Special Operations Command Post to
launch the drone over the yellow lot (main venue stage area). Our team reported to the Teal lot and began
conducting this assignment. While conducting this assignment Sergeant Calabro received a request over the
police radio from Houston Fire Department Assistant Medical Director Doctor Lars Thestrup. Doctor Thestrup
requested my assistance in the medical tent, as I am a certified EMT credentialed through the Houston Fire
Department.
Once I arrived at the medical tent, I spoke with Doctor Thestrup in regards to what he needed help with. He
advised me to get into the rotation of chest compressions on a heavy set white male that was in the northeast
corner of the medical tent. I immediately got down and started CPR, administering compressions as I had been
trained. I rotated out with other EMT's that were also completing medical on this patient. During one rotation,
Doctor Thestrup tasked me with getting a one minute time check. I started a stopwatch and advised Doctor
Thestrup when that minute was up. It was short time after, when the Houston Fire Department arrived and I
assisted getting the patient onto a stretcher. This was the only patient I conducted medical on during this event. I
did not at any time administer Narcan to this patient or any others. I did not observe CPR being conducted on
any other patient or other officers handling any other bodies.

Narrative
During the headliners performance Officers in my squad and I were in the front of the stage. Several officers and I
noted that the set up of the stage and the area in front where we were standing was poorly set up. During the
event there was not enough space for us to move and operate due to the amount of media or camera crew
people. The Rows that were set up for emergency and security personnel to walk down were not very wide and
were extremely congested with people. Once the main show started it only got worse with congestion in the
emergency rows. The crowd pushed toward the fence and the further into the show it got more and more people
had to be pulled out of the crowd and into the emergency rows. Which made it more and more difficult for us to
move in the center and for the emergency crews to respond. Officers in the center had essentially make a
semi-circle to move the crowds of people coming over the fences through the center area to the exits. The
problem with the set-up is that no one knew where the exits were or where to move the individuals being funneled
to us. Even the security personnel didn't know. It finally got sorted out but it only added to the chaos and issues
that were going on.
The music was extremely loud to the point that we were unable to hear the radio or speak to other officers without
shouting. The only way we were advised that there were people down in the crowd and in the back was by
someone running to our Sgt and telling him the situation he then had to come to us individually to let us know
what was happening. Once we learned of the casualties we attempted to get through the center row but again it
was so congested that it made it difficult to move through. Several Officers and I had to clear the center row
ourselves so that the medically staff could move freely.
Our Sgt.was able to learn the general area in the crowd where there were people down and made the decision for
us to go clear an area for the medical staff to get to the individuals. The only way for us to get through the crowd
was for us as a squad to jump the back fence and force our way through to the downed individuals. Once we
located them there were already some civilians and medical staff doing C.P.R. Officers from my squad and I made
a circle around the downed individuals and kept the crowd back so there was space to work on the downed
males. At this point the music was still going and the crowd had zero regard for the two males we on the ground.
Most of the crowd just kept partying and dancing which made it difficult to tend to the downed males. Once the
medically staff arrived with back boards we had to load the males onto them and physically carry them to the back
fence we had jumped over previously. We then carried them through the crowds to the medical tent that was off
to the other side of the stage. I write this to show how chaotic the situation was and that all the officers at the front
of the stage did a tremendous job given the terrible situation they were put in.
I did not personally perform CPR. I did witness EMT personnel performing CPR. I assisted in carrying one
individual out of the crowd on a backboard to the medical tent.

Narrative
My name is Kacy Cedillo payroll I am a Senior Police Telecommunicator for HPD and I was working
Southwest Mic on the day for the Travis Scott incident at Astroworld. I started my shift at 1400 hours and at that
time we did not have a separate dispatcher working the event so dayshift southwest dispatcher and evening shift
southwest dispatcher, myself, was working both the main channel and the back channel that the command post
was operating off of. Between the hours of 1400-1800, my job was to listen to the back channel in case they were
trying to reach dispatch and to relay any calls that were coming into dispatch in the area of the NRG. Most calls
that were being relayed during those 4 hours were just disturbances at the nearby apartments, some involving
weapons that could pose a risk to the officers in the area, and other calls where there were suspects jumping the
fence of the apartments to gain entry to the event. Starting at 1800 hours, one of my supervisors, Stacey Griffith
was assigned to work the citywide desk to listen to the YICS mic assigned to the event, I believe until either our
shift end at 2200 or until the event ended. I relayed to the command post as she was setting up that she would
now be listening and help them with anything they needed off of citywide to free up the southwest mic. Towards
the end of shift, possibly around 2000 hours but I can't remember the exact time, the calls started to come in from
the crowd during the rush to the stage and resulting stampede. As the calls started to come in, I asked my
supervisor Griffith how she wanted me to handle the calls that were dropping, most were code 2's usually labeled
person down, since the command post was handling dispatching officers already on scene. Supervisor Griffith
advised to send her the information coming in so she could relay it to the command post and officers on scene,
and then to change the call code to a lower priority so we could dupe it out to the main slip that was being used
already for all units out there. To make sure she got all of the information from the new slips that were dropping, I
can't remember the exact amount of slips that were dropped but there were a lot, I would send her a callback
message which sends the message and attaches the slip to the message so she could pull it up before duping it
to the main call slip. As more calls dropped, most had very little information in them; usually just the complainant
asking or yelling for help as they were being trampled. I started screening the calls and only sending the callback
message in the ones that had new information or a different location to my supervisor. This method was to help
her get out the pertinent information that would help the officers on scene the most and would limit her having to
screen the calls as well as relaying the information. After the first few calls started dropping mentioning people
being trampled, I got up from my desk with my handheld radio to ask supervisor Griffith if I should be sending my
few remaining patrol officers to help with the calls coming in, but was advised by her that at that time we were not
sending any patrol units out because there were already enough units at the event and the command post had
not, at that time, advised to send more units. I continued screening, sending her information as it came in, and
duping calls to the main call until the end of my shift at 2200. At the end of my shift I relayed the information as
best as I could to the night shift dispatcher that relieved me so they were caught up on what was happening in
case no one was assigned to the event during night shift and therefore handed back to southwest mic to handle.

I was working Watch Command and Roll Call Sgt F Deyhim asked me to work Citywide mike
for the Travis Scott concert so that the current dispatcher could be released to do other things. Citywide works
like any other mike. I relied on my dispatcher training to document the call and handle duplicate calls. There is no
special protocol for that mike.
Senior Police Telecommunicator Casey Cedillo was working Southwest dispatch that evening. I had one call on
my board and it was the main call for the incident. SPT Cedillo received calls though out the night related to the
concert. Many of these calls she alerted me of and duplicated out to the main slip. Some calls could not be
duplicated and when she alerted me of those, I tried to take action to clear the call or I notified Incident Command
on the Radio. SPT Cedillo and I were in close contact all night, mostly through messages.
I also noted in the slip information from Incident Command, information given to Incident Command and time
checks for appropriate occurrences like the release of a drone. I also sent messages around the dispatch floor
when Incident Command asked for SRG units at the end of the concert from traffic control. I closed the mike once
the crowd had been cleared out from the location with permission from Incident Command.

3.911 Calls
*****************
After review of the 911 Calls I provided the following audio to the Homicide Detectives so that they could include it
in their presentation. The audio provides an explanation of the findings after reviewing the 911 Calls.
AUDIO FOR PRESENTATION:
This is Lt. Luis Menendez-Sierra and I am currently assigned to the Homicide Division, Special Investigations Unit.
I was assigned to the Travis Scott investigation and will discuss the calls received at the Houston Emergency
Center or HEC on the night of the event. On November 24, 2021 Assistant Chief Jones, Commander Deese and I,
met with the leadership team at the HEC center which was led by Director Robert Mock. In this meeting HFD
leadership at the HEC was also present and consisted of Sr. Communications Captain Matthew Lloyd and
Communications Captain Enrique Guerra. We discussed needing all the calls received during that night and
discussed protocol for major events.
On January 6, 2022 I received an envelope at my office with an excel spreadsheet containing 208 case numbers
and an audio CD with all the audio recordings. The spreadsheet had a note which advised that the list consisted
of the call slips being withheld for open records requests to the HEC. I began to review the call slips and found
that the calls were from midnight to midnight on November 5th. There were also a few other calls included that
were on other days that were related call backs for calls made on that day. These calls were found to be
unrelated. After reviewing each call, I found that there were in fact 234 separate calls and that the number went
down to 208 after calls were duplicated to each other because of the same caller/ same phone number/ or call
back. Of the 234 calls I found that 84 calls were in some way related to the Travis Scott incident. There were an
additional 38 calls that I was unable to determine were Travis Scott related due to no audio or no details on the
call slip. The rest of the 166 call slips were found to be in the vicinity of the concert but not related to the concert.
As I focused on the calls that occurred during the concert I found the first call in relation to people being injured to
have come in at 2107 hours. The slip showed a time stamp of 2109 but through the use of the NICE system I was
able to verify the 2107 time stamp. In total I found there to be 25 call slips that were of people in the crowd with
the last call coming in at 2137 hours. Of those 25 calls I was able to identify 15 individual callers. There were 25
total audio recordings due to call backs or repeat calls by the same people.
All the calls were received by the call takers at HEC and forwarded to the Southwest dispatcher who either
duplicated the call or sent them to Citywide dispatch who duplicated the call. From our discussion with HEC center
Suppl No

Narrative
personnel and our experience with calls being received on a daily basis it was found that this was standard
protocol. When a major incident occurs, there are numerous calls that come in and once an initial police response
is sent, then the rest of the calls are duplicated to the main case number. There was a call slip generated early the
morning of November 5th and the officers assigned to the event were placed under that case number. Due to a
large police presence at the location, the calls were duplicated as they would have been for any other major
event. 13 of the individual callers were reached out to and only one person responded. The remaining two of the
15 were default 911 numbers which we could not reach out to.
The SW and CW dispatcher were interviewed and they advised that they followed protocol and duplicated the
multiple calls as well as advising the command center.

2021. She was accompanied by her attorneys, Andy Brumheller and Derek Hollingsworth. Also present was
attorney for Live Nation, Brian Kowalski. We held the interview in the conference room of their law office located at
712 Main Street Suite 1705. Detective J. Caten, Lt. S. Hope, and I participated in the interview. Per our
agreement with the attorneys, the interview was not recorded but we were permitted to take notes. The following
is a summary of our interview with Emily:
Emily stated that she has worked in the concert/festival/entertainment industry since she was 19 years old
(currently 36 YOA). She has and continues to travel around the world participating and various roles within the
music industry. She left BWG in 2022 and is currently working as a Talent and Production Manger for the Rolling
Loud tour. She explained that this position places her in role to hire and contract companies like BWG to perform
her former duties.
In addition to her current position, she stated that she has worked hundreds of shows and at least six or seven
tours which featured Travis Scott. For the majority of her career, she has held the title of Project Manager, Artist
Relation, Festival Director, or Site Operations Director.

Narrative
In terms of her qualification, she stated that she did have any formal education of degrees pertaining to her
specific field. Her knowledge is derived from her experience in the industry. She had a fork-lift license, certificates
in media communication and logistics, and CPR certification.
She clarified that none of her roles involved security training or training in crowd management. Her role was not
one that included security as a responsibility however she would often work closely with the head of security in
order to execute specific matters related to infrastructure.
She stated her role/title in all the Astroworlds has been Site Operations Director. She stated her main
responsibilities entailed: receive/review infrastructure requirements, contract vendors for matters such as: fencing,
toilets, tents, and lighting; complete a build schedule, and organized the break down after a concert/festival.
We discussed how she came to know those individuals who would go on to run Astroworld. She stated she met
Brent Silberstein and Sascha in 2015 and maintained a relationship with them since that time. She stated she also
worked several events with the Boardman's since 2016. She also discussed Scott Davidson (Astroworld 2018)
and Rob Weekes (Astroworld 2019). She described each of them as organized and knowledgeable about their
respective roles. However, she added that Scott had what she heard to be a separation from Live Nation
sometime after Astroworld 2018 leading them to hire Rob for 2019. She stated Rob was good but less personable
and ultimately did not perform as they expected on the day of the show, also he did not seem to get along with
Chief Satterwhite.
We went through each of the Astroworlds with her to gather her overall impressions of the festivals:
2018 - she stated it felt like a very successful show. It presented unique challenges to her and her team as this
was the first Astroworld and it had to be created from scratch. She stated it was a sold-out show and she was
proud of her team and what they were able to accomplish. She did not recall any major issues regarding safety.
2019 - She stated it went smoother because they just followed the blueprint from 2018, same stage set up,
rehiring the same vendors, etc. She stated this show was also sold out and her estimation was a successful
festival. She recalled the problems regarding the gate crashing and "rambunctious" fans that tend to be
associated with Travis Scott and his brand.
She stated following Astroworld 2019, she attended an After-Action meeting whose design and purpose is to
discuss with stakeholders what went well and what could be improved for the future. It was determined that they
would require a greater police presence at the perimeter for Astroworld 2021. It was in that meeting she recalled
bringing up Seyth Boardman as the potential security manager for 2021. She stated that other security managers
were proposed, but Seyth was the only one that was discussed by name.
We discussed her planning methods before a show. She stated that she typically needed six months to plan a
show the size of Astroworld. In the case of all of the Astroworlds included 2021, she stated that she had about six
months to plan. She stated she was contacted by Brent Silberstein to work Astroworld 2021 in May 2021.
Planning for Astroworld 2021
A few changes she noted for Astroworld 2021 that stood out to her in comparison to previous years:
-Additional rides (Travis Scott's team wanted it to feel more like a carnival)
-Additional creative elements (lighting and effects)
-Expanded entrance (moved to green lot, in an attempt to mitigate issues of the past)
-Inclusion of a non-standard stage (mountain stage, production company hired 1826 to build)
She stated that she was present at all of the Stakeholder meetings leading up to the show and she worked closely
with Production Directors, and Safety and Security Manager Seyth Boardman.
She stated following each Stakeholder meeting, she would not hear any concerns from Seyth. However,
throughout the process, concerns were discussed amongst them which she stated it was typical of any show to
have concerns. Some of those concerns included the following:
-Received plans and re-working of said plans
/BARROW, M L 07/21/2023 14:52 Page 2 of 6

1490724-21 0093
Narrative
-Design and build schedule, finishing on time
-Receiving concerns from artist if the stage was not finished, they'd cancel
-Learning Travis would be the only one performing on stage one (stage two to stage one transition) (she stated
she did not know whose decision it was for Travis to be the only performer).
To resolve some of the concerns she stated they did the following:
-Built ramp and pavers to expand the walkway between stage two and stage one.
-Added video screens so people could watch performances going on at stage two during the day.
-Included multiple merchandise locations.
We discussed the inclusion of the livestream, specifically Apple. She stated that it was not uncommon for a big
sponsor like Apple to jump in late in the game. Sponsor would sometimes wait to see the profitability of a show
before committing.
She stated she was included on phone calls with Brady Haas, Apple, and 1826 to discuss the logistics and needs
of the livestream. One of the topics that came up was in regards to camera positions. She stated Apple wanted
the crane camera or "jib" and the front of house camera between the delay towers. She presented this request to
Brent and it was decided that those camera positions were not going to work. She explained Brent told her to let
them (Apple) know that those cameras were not approved. She did not recall writing the email which stated that
"5k would be displaced by the craned camera" but that statement was more a less an exaggeration if it was used
in order to get the point across to Apple that it was not approved. She stated that she did not believe or know with
exactness how many it would have displaced if it displaced anyone at all.
We discussed the building of the festival. She stated that the Fire Marshall was including at the site during the
build and in all of the safety and security meetings. She recalled seeing the Fire Marshall present Thursday night
before the day of the show. We told her about the approval of map 1.37 by the Fire Marshall but the lack of
approval for map 1.38.
She stated one of her duties was to send CAD maps to the primary Stakeholder for any input and then finally send
them to the venue which in this case was Michael McCall. It would then fall on Michael McCall to send them to
the Fire Marshall for review and approval. She was not aware of which plan was approved or not and assumed
that the latest version of the CAD map (1.38) was used for the build.
She stated it was common for there to be some changes to the build while constructing it. The Fire Marshall could
request changes or requests could come from others, otherwise the CAD drawing is generally followed. She
stated again that the barricade was built on Thursday night and the Fire Marshall was present, she added that she
was not involved with the barricade. She was present to show the builders were to begin the barricade measuring
from the front of the stage, but that was the full extent of her involvement. She mentioned that when a show is
completed, they will take and review an "as built" mapping of the venue to compare to the originally drawing. This
was not done for Astroworld 2021 in light of the incident.
On Friday morning, the day of the show, she was all over the sight, but recalled being at blue lot prior to the "soft"
opening of the venue. She stated at text received from Brent showing her a camera position at front of house. She
did not know what he was implying because he did not caption it. It was soon discovered that someone from
production or the livestream built the crane camera and the front of house camera despite her and Brent
disapproving them.
She stated that she has never been in a conversation about fence jumpers. She was aware that it was a potential
issue because of the type of crowd that follows Travis Scott. She also stated that in her time working venues that
featured Travis, she has never been in contact with him. She mostly worked through his manager, David
Stromberg.
We talked with her about the EOP. She stated that she was not made aware that her name was listed on the EOP
with show stop authority or power shunt authority. She stated it was normal for her to be listed on an EOP as a
point of contact being department head. She explained that show stop authority would have been warranted by
her if it was something do directly with her department. She gave the example of a generator catching fire, which
would be her responsibility to manage, in such a case she would initiate the show stop or pause or a power shunt

Narrative
to the affected area. If it was something outside her area of responsibilities such as a medical or security related
issue, she would bring the issue first to the department responsible so an informed decision can be made relative
to stopping the show.
Day of the Show
She stated her day started at 6:30 am on Friday, November 5th, 2021. She stated she was in the blue lot when
the festival first opened. During those times she was in contact with Seyth and others to supply or replace physical
resources that were either in short supply in certain areas or damaged by concertgoers. She stated she was not
in the area when the "mags" were taken out near the COVID screening entrance.
She shifted her attention to the main merchandise tent after she heard that it was getting taken over by
concertgoers. She went there with her crew and moved back racks and they worked until they were able to
establish an orderly line. She was somewhat surprised when we told her that Mike Brown, Travis's personal
security, had stated that he was the one that restored order at the merchandise tent. She stated she did not recall
seeing him there.
Throughout the day, she received multiple calls to supply additional fencing around stage two. She fielded
numerous requests regarding infrastructure all the way up until dinner around 7pm. From 7pm to 8:30pm she
assisted along the perimeter of the venue in preparation for egress. She stated that the show itself was more a
"rest" period for her and her crew, stating it was the norm for them to go somewhere where they could watch the
show because there normally was not any Site Operations requests during those times.
She stated she made her way over to the main stage around 8:30pm and this was her first time seeing the
completed area occupied with people. She met with Brent Silberstein and Chuck Beckler and the three of them
made there way up the main chute to front of house. She told them that she was going to get on the scissor lift to
get a better view. At that point she lost Brent and Chuck. She climbed the scissor lift was on house right. It was
around that time that she received calls about needing rachet straps.
She discussed the purpose of the scissor lifts. She stated there were two at the show on each side of front of
house. She stated the lifts were specifically requested by HPD in one of the security planning meetings (she was
not sure who from HPD requested them) and it was her understanding that they would be manned by HPD but
she did not see them there the night of the show.
She continued discussing her activities that night. After assisting with the rachet strap retrieval for the barricade,
she returned to front of house to get a view again from the scissor lift. Once on the lift, she felt a tug on her pant
leg from a female below who told her that someone was in need of help. She followed the female to the main
chute where she found who she believed to be HFD personnel performing CPR on a concertgoer.
She remained in this area to assist. The patient's brother was there and she was trying to hold him back in order
for medical staff to continue working on the patient. She estimated that the patient was a teenager and saw that
he was vomiting which in her mind led her to believe that this incident was related to alcohol which was a common
theme at many of the festivals that she had worked. Eventually someone with a stretcher arrived and removed
the patient to the medical tent. (In the days and weeks following this incident, she believed the patient was
Rodolfo Pena).
Approximately five minutes from the time the patient was taken, she was told by another female that her friend
was hit on the head and needed help. She walked from the chute towards front of house in the media section and
found a female who appeared "in and out" of consciousness. She saw members of the paradocs approaching and
she directed her towards the female before leaving the area and travelling back down the chute.
She stated as she made her way into the chute, she saw Shawna Boardman who appeared to have brought
several large "Islander" men to help pull patrons from the barricade as needed. She stated she continue to move
to a place next to the stage so that she could hear communications on her radio which was not possible when
inside the crowd or performance area. She spotted Mike Brown near the front of stage, but he was wearing the
heavy noise-cancelling headphones and she knew it would not be of use to speak to him. She also saw some
members of HPD by the stage, but she did not recognize any of them and opted not to talk to them, besides,
many of them had their phones out and were taking photos/video of the show.

Narrative
She stated that she found Seyth Boardman and John Junnel at stage left, next the stage. Seyth confirmed to her
that Drake was going to take the stage and that the show stop protocol was already in progress. (She noted at the
time of this brief exchange, Drake was already taking the stage).
After speaking with Seyth, she heads past backstage towards her trailer so that she could get with her team to let
them know what was going on and to discuss show break down. While on her way there, she encountered a
female who was in need of her diabetic treatment being attended to a Male medic. She believed the female
appeared uncomfortable with the male and she offered to assist her with administering her insulin because she
had experience with diabetics in her family. She escorted the female to her trailer officer where she assisted her.
After communicating with her team, she left her trailer to go to the medical tent. At that time the show had already
ended.
In addition to her experience in the barricade, she stated that she did not hear anyone say the show needed to be
stopped nor she did she hear chants or calls to stop the show.
Explanation of Text Messages
Attorneys for Emily marked the printed pages of text messages we discussed with Emily.
E01 - messages with Seyth and Shawna in early October. She explained that it was all pertaining to the design of
stage two and additional changes that would be required. It had nothing to do with stage one/main stage.
E02 - messages with Seyth and Shawna in mid-October. She stated this was a conversation about stage
configuration and the talks about Travis being the only one on his stage. Her statement in the text was in
reference to the proper order of notification for this type of issue: Festival (production/vendors), to Festival
Management (the stakeholders), to Venue (NRG/ASM), to HPD. She also learned in reference to this text thread
that Lea Mastaglio of NRG was concerned that they would not have enough required personnel in the barricade.
E03 - messages with Seyth and Shawna, 2pm of show day. She did not have a clear response for this message
when she appeared to agree with Seyth when he sends, "There is talk of police canceling this" and she replied,
"They need to. This is not okay". She stated that on the perimeter it was chaotic but inside the venue it was okay
and as time went on the situation got better.
E04 - messages with Seyth and Shawna, late October. She stated they were at the Rolling Loud show in New
York at the time of these messages. She lets them know they would loose capacity with the addition of the crane
camera from Apple.
E05 - messages with Brent Silberstein in late October. She stated Brent had a tendency to vent his frustrations up
to including copy and pasting the same text message and sending them other people. She did not know what
Brent meant by "bed was self made".
E06 - messages with Seyth and Shawna in October. In response to Seyth stating, "our only saving grace at this
point is the stage not meeting code" followed by the response from Emily showing three emojis of hands coming
together. During the investigation, we interpreted this to be "praying" hands, as if she was hoping that the stage
would not meet code and the show could just be cancelled. She corrected that assumption in telling us that the
hands were not indicating praying but rather they were "high fives", meaning she was giving herself a high five
because she believed she could make the stage work within the space at Astroworld.
E07 - messages with Brent, day of the show. Brent sent her a photo of camera platforms in front of house with no
caption. Emily stated that she was not sure what he meant by sending her that photo. She stated it appeared that
Apple placed their camera positions in unapproved locations.
E08 - messages with Seyth and Shawna, the Saturday they were at Rolling Loud, end of October. She stated
most of the conversation pertained to Rolling Loud. When she replied, "You're just doing your job unlike the rest of
them", she stated that this statement had no particular person in mind and that it was mostly to compliment
Seyth.
E09 - messages with Seyth and Shawna, late October. When she replied, "It looks way more like a festival
footprint which means Travis will hate it but I like it" She stated Travis's vision for Astroworld was for it be more

This conversation was recorded via my Department issued Sony audio recorder.
On 11-27-2021 I contacted and spoke with Brian Williams via cell phone. I introduced myself as an Officer with the
Houston Police Department and informed him that I was conducting an investigation as to what occurred at the
Travis Scott Astroworld incident at NRG. Brian Williams confirmed his name and stated that he was at the concert.
I asked Mr. Williams if he was present when multiple people were trampled where they sustained numerous
injuries and or death as a result. Mr. Williams stated that he was with a friend of his and that he remembers
having a drink that he ordered at the festival, he did not elaborate on where he got the drink from. He stated that
as he began to consume his drink he began to feel woozy and began to feel as though he was confused and
fading as he was unable to follow his friend.
Mr. Williams stated that after walking through the crowd for about 5 to 10 minutes he was able to get out of the
crowd and approach security guards. He stated that he sat down with the security guards and began to speak with
them as he began to lay down. Mr. Williams stated that he woke up in Houston Medical Center (HCA) Hospital
and had no idea how he arrived there. He stated that the hospital staff conducted blood work on him and the
results showed that he was clear of any substances inside of his body. Mr. Williams stated that he believes he
was discharged around 0500 hours that same morning where he then returned home. Mr. Williams asked for my
name and badge number afterwards, I informed him of the case number and my name and badge number and

asked him if he had any additional questions. He had no further questions at which point we ended our
conversation.
I attempted to contact Complainant Downerd Cooper on 11-27-2021 however he did not answer, his voicemail
box had a recording that confirmed his identity and I left him a voicemail asking him to return my call for this
investigation. I called Complainant Olivia Swingle afterwards and did not receive an answer or a voicemail
recording. I left her a voicemail informing her of who I was and that I was conducting an investigation into the
Travis Scott Astroworld incident. Afterwards I reached out to Arturo Sanchez and did not receive any answer, I left
him a voicemail asking him to return my phone call. Finally I contacted Ruby Hernandez last and did not receive
any answer. I am still waiting to have a meeting with Gabriela Simeoni's lawyer Maria Holmes at a date of her
choosing to obtain her statement as to what occurred during this incident.
