2 Dead, 23 Injured Outside Of Tyler, The Creator’s SXSW Concert

    A vehicle reportedly plowed through an Austin, Texas crowd outside of a South By Southwest (SXSW) Tyler, The Creator concert early today (March 13), leaving two dead and 23 others injured, according to the Los Angeles Times. Five of the 23 people who were transported to the hospital are reportedly critically injured.

    The motorist, in a grey sedan with a cracked windshield, was fleeing from police who were trying to stop the car on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to the Los Angeles Times. The car reportedly plowed through a temporary SXSW barricade and went the wrong way on a crowded one-way street. Many concert goers were waiting outside of the venue where Tyler, The Creator was scheduled to perform. 

    The driver stopped his vehicle after multiple collisions and tried to flee the scene on foot. A police officer reportedly apprehended the suspect and used a taser to subdue the man, Reuters reports. The suspect is set to face potential capital murder and aggravated assault, Reuters says. 

    Tyler, The Creator spoke about the incident on Twitter. “Show Isnt Happening, Something Sad Happened. I’m Bummed,” the rapper said. A series of the Odd Future emcee’s posts is below.

    1. drinking and driving is fucked up. they need to make the sentences for that way harder because people never seem to learn and a lot of times do it again and again until they kill someone.

      1. this nigga deserves to be in jail he killed 2 people and injured 23 more, he should have been in jail already for have 6 kids at 21 and not being able to support any of them cause hes a wannabe bum rapper

      1. maybe you should make a joke about some cripples if it helps get the stick out your ass. maybe then you will walk again.

      1. Agreed. He seemed more worried about the show than the fans that were there to possibly there to see him “perform”.

    2. This headline is very misleading, makes it seem like Tyler was involved with the drunk driver.

      Drunk Driver Kills 2 @ SXSW is sensational enough, click-bait whoring is short sighted.

      1. uh not really.. saying something happened outside of his concert (which it did) is not saying he had anything to do with it.

      2. putting up his pictures and tweets is unnecessary and creates the illusion that he was involved.. especially considering the drama that tyler has created (no pun) at many other shows

      3. OP right tho, reading only the headline gives the impression that niggas was wilding to Tyler’s music and ended up killing each other

      1. that shit was dead wrong, you dont make jokes about people dying no matter how you feel about kendrick’s rap QUOTEMAN you fucking bitch

      2. Hmmm who’s a dead mother fucker I can make fun of right now to show you? hmmm… well those mother fuckers in the missing malaysian plane are all probably some dead bloated mother fuckers feeding fish right now. how’s that sound? shut the fuck up you self-righteous asshat. you’re posting on a tyler article.

    3. not going to lie. i drink and drive nearly every weekend on the highway. i usually have a 3 beer buzz. if i can handle it i can handle it. not every body can. but most people are too thick headed to know their limit.

      1. What’s the difference. Three beers, several pain pills, weed, prescribed drugs, if you kill somebody behind the whell under these it should be no difference. Hell some motherfuckers can’t drive any damn way and shouldn’t be allowed behind a wheel if they have nothing in their system.

    4. dis wuldnv happend at a REAL hip-hop show, all $ucce$full superstars in th game are known for they love for they fans

      SXSW is the dveil of the hip-hop community, they are sell outs and fake ase bitches just like tyler and all those other broke ass traitors, keep hip-hop where it belong!!!!!!1 BRING HIP-HOP BACK TO HARLAME BRING IT BACK TO CHICAGO BRING IT BACK TO DETROIT AND BRING IT BACK TO NY you no I mean?

      1. it was some wannabe black rapper with 6 kids at 21 drunk as fuck running from the cops, it could have happened anywhere but apparently he was in town to play sxsw
