Last Sunday night (March 5), we broke the news that several people were trampled on and hospitalized following a GloRilla and Finesse2Tymes concert in Rochester, New York. Since, the concert venue has had its license revoked as a third victim dies.
GloRilla & Finesse2Tymes Concert Venue In Rochester, NY Has License Revoked As Third Victim Dies
The stampede incident happened as concertgoers were exiting the venue, and a surge occurred after hearing what witnesses claimed to be gunshots. Since the incident, a third victim has now died, and the venue has had its license revoked.
Some time after leaving the venue — known as Main Street Armory — GloRilla shared a tweet addressing the incident. She said, “I’m just now hearing about what happened wtf praying everybody is ok.”
Finesse2Tymes eventually spoke out as well, and sent his best wishes to the victims and their families. As both rappers’ released their statements, reports of two women dying would break.
They have been identified as 33-year-old Rhondesia Belton and 35-year-old Brandy Miller. Several other concertgoers were injured as well.
Since the first two deaths, the city of Rochester, New York has denied a renewal of venue’s entertainment license. On Wednesday (March 8), the city pulled the venue’s license, following a shut down, as the city continues its criminal and regulatory investigations — which include fire and code enforcement inspections on the building.
Patrick Beath, the city’s deputy corporation counsel, also said that officials are reviewing videos and photos from the Sunday night concert, as they try to determine if there were any violations committed.
It is reported that the venue has a capacity of about 5,000 people. Now, immediately following the news of the venue losing its entertainment license, a third victim has since died.
Reports say 35-year-old Aisha Stephens of Syracuse passed away on Wednesday night (March 8). Stephens was the last victim initially hospitalized from the incident.
