Houston’s Police Chief has had denied that there is any possible conflict of interest in the police investigation into the incident at Travis Scott’s Astroworld concert.
Police Chief Troy Finner yesterday estimated the investigation into the death of eight people and the injuring of hundreds others after a crowd surge at the concert could take weeks or months to complete.
There have been concerns about possible conflicts as the police department deployed about 500 officers to the concert.
Concerns were also raised about the relationships which Scott, who is from Houston, has with local authorities.
Chief Finner yesterday however moved to dismiss that, saying he has no relationship with the rapper, having only met Scott twice previously.
Finner yesterday also debunked the claim that an Astroworld Festival security guard was potentially injected in his neck with drugs.
The police chief said officers had interviewed the guard, who said he was hit in the head, fell unconscious and woke up at a medical tent.
The initial allegation led officials to look into a possible drug-spiking incident at the Travis Scott festival.
