A promising college student named Axel Acosta has been identified as one of the eight victims of the mass casualty incident that took place Friday night at Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival in Houston, Texas.
Axel's father, Edgar Acosta, confirmed to ABC 13 that his 21-year-old son was the unidentified concert attendee who had been recovered from Memorial Hermann Hospital after the tragedy.
Edgar told the outlet that filing a missing persons report on his son with authorities proved to be a challenge as Axel was a Washington resident. Police have not yet released a cause of death.
Speaking with ABC 13, Axel's aunt, Cynthia Acosta, said that her nephew attended the Astroworld Festival on his own after traveling by himself from Washington to see Scott, 30, perform alongside other entertainers.
"It was his first time going to an event like that," Cynthia explained to the outlet.
Western Washington University, where Axel was studying computer science, released a statement shortly after his death was confirmed, ABC 13 reported.
"By all accounts, Axel was a young man with a vibrant future. We are sending our condolences to his family on this very sad day," Vice President of Enrollment and Student Services Melynda Huskey said, per the outlet.
"I want to thank everyone on Facebook and Instagram who helped spread the word about my brother Axel Acosta. He has finally been found and funeral arrangements have been made," he wrote beside a collage photograph. "Again, I appreciate the help and please help me pray for him. He is in a better place with no suffering and I hope he knows that we love him."Axel Beltsasar Acosta, age 21, passed away on November 5, 2021 in Houston, Texas.
