2 Astroworld security guards file lawsuit against concert organizers and security company
Two Houston security guards who were injured at Travis Scott’s Astroworld concert earlier this month have filed a lawsuit against concert organizers and the security company that hired them.
The lawsuit says New York-based security company AJ Melino and Associates — one of the companies that hired security personnel for the event — failed to properly train and supervise employees, and failed to “provide adequate security, control, policies, and procedures” during the event.
Samuel Bush, 46, and his nephew Jackson Bush, 25, say they were hired by AJ Melino on the morning of the event after responding to a job posting on social media. Both men had past experience working in security, but said they received minimal training in preparation for the event.
