The Houston Police Department released their report on the Astroworld tragedy on the same day that Travis Scott released his highly-anticipated record Utopia. This made his lawyer question whether or not the police were being fair.

After the report was made public on Friday, July 28, Kent Schaffer made the statement on Saturday.

“The timing of the Houston Police Department report’s release, coinciding with the launch of Travis Scott’s highly anticipated album, is anything but coincidental,” the lawyer told TMZ.

“Travis Scott and his team were, as anticipated, fully cleared of any wrongdoing associated with the Astroworld tragedy by a grand jury based on the very report released today,” he said.

“It is outrageous that HPD has chosen to resort to tactics that attempt to discredit Travis and his team, casting doubt on how the unfortunate events at Astroworld actually transpired while deflecting blame from their own critical failures.”

“We encourage the Houston PD to make peace with the fact that Travis Scott and his team were found innocent of any wrongdoing and to focus on what really matters – making sure tragedies like Astroworld never occur again under their watch,” his lawyer said.

At Scott’s 2021 Astroworld show, a stampede killed ten people and hurt tens of thousands more.
