Attorney Kent Schaffer said it was unclear whether the Houston grand jury would hand down a decision on Thursday. The criminal probe includes Scott and several others involved in planning of his Astroworld Festival in November 2021.The Harris County District Attorney’s Office did not immediately respond to requests for comment Thursday.

Ten people were killed by compressive asphyxiation, including a 10-year-old boy., which merged with Ticketmaster in 2010. The cases have been consolidated in Texas state court in a process known as multidistrict litigation, which streamlines adjudication of similar lawsuits.
