“The Blount family tonight is grieving the incomprehensible loss of their precious young son,” the Blount family attorney Ben Crump said in a statement. “This should not have been the outcome of taking their son to a concert, what should have been a joyful celebration. Ezra’s death is absolutely heartbreaking. We are committed to seeking answers and justice for the Blount family. But tonight we stand in solidarity with the family, in grief, and in prayer.”
According to Treston Blount the child’s father, Ezra was sitting on his shoulders during Travis Scott’s headlining set on Friday night when the two found themselves trapped in a crowd surge. During the “mass casualty event,” Blount’s father passed out and his son fell to the ground, where he was kicked, stepped on, and trampled by the crowd.
