Astroworld: Victims named as police probe US festival crush

Family and friends have been paying tribute to those who died following a crowd surge at rapper Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival in Houston, Texas.

At least eight people were killed and hundreds hurt at the music event, which is now under investigation police.

Scott has said he is working to help the families of “the ones that were lost” after the crowd pressed forward while he was on stage on Friday night.

Most of the victims were young people, with the youngest said to be just 14.

The family of one victim, 16-year-old Brianna Rodriguez, spoke of their “profound sadness” and said the passionate dancer was “dancing her way to heaven’s pearly gates”.
