FOX 26 was able to speak to Mott one-on-one, but she was too traumatized to get a full sentence out. Her attorney tells us, she witnessed someone die at the event. She went to the concert with close friends and family.
"He could have stopped the show, he could have prevented this," said Bryan Espinoza, one of five attendees who spoke at the meeting]. Espinoza believes the performer could have done more to keep the concertgoers safe.
"About 200-plus people came into this compact area, we told security we are getting smashed but security told us to put your hands on the railing," said Jonathan Espinoza. "Instantly my ribs are getting smashed into the gate, I look at the security guard and they told me I can't do anything."
