HOUSTON — A 22-year-old college senior who was critically injured at the Astroworld festival in Houston has died.
Attorney James Lassiter says Bharti Shahani died Wednesday.
Her family says Shahani was studying electronics systems engineering at Texas A&M University and had been set to graduate next spring.
She is the 9th person to die after festivalgoers rushed the stage Friday night as headliner Travis Scott performed.
Hundreds of others were injured in the melee, including a 9-year-old boy who is in a medically induced coma.
A criminal investigation into the deaths at Astroworld is underway.
In a tweet, Astroworld promoter Live Nation said it was heartbroken over the lives lost and for those impacted. Another tweet stated the promoters of the event are helping authorities by providing video in an effort to get answers for security breakdowns.
Scott took to Instagram, saying he was devastated by what happened. The rapper paused the concert at several points after being notified of harm being done in the crowd. However, the concert kept going, and fans noted that there has been a previous history of Scott's concerts getting rowdy.
