NAPERVILLE, Ill. (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- The families of two men from Naperville who were killed in the Astroworld music festival in Houston earlier this month have filed wrongful death lawsuits.
Franco Patino, 21 and Jacob Jurinek, 20 were among the 10 people who died during rapper Travis Scott's performance at the festival.
A lawsuit filed by their families accuses Scott, festival organizers and the owners of the park of failing to provide adequate security for crowd control and failing to provide enough emergency medical support.
An attorney for the families told the Naperville Sun that no parent should worry their child will be kicked, stepped on trampled and crushed to death at a concert .
“A healthy, strong 20 or 21-year-old child goes off to a concert thinking he’s going to have some fun, and they’re going to be celebrating, in this case, Jake’s 21st birthday,” Philip Corboy Jr. said.
“Nobody expects to go to something as happy and joyous as concert where they end up dying. Nobody anticipates when they pay these high prices for these concert tickets that they have to worry about things like that.”
