“Petitioner Ronisha Huston and her now deceased sister, Rhondesia Belton, got caught up in the crowd surge,” Huston’s legal team reportedly wrote. “Huston witnessed her sister getting crushed in the stampede.”

Police believe a rumor of gunfire — which was unfounded — proved to be the impetus behind the stampede which left three people dead and numerous others injured.

The filing made by Huston revealed she’s suffering from emotional distress and has demanded that confidential information be turned over, including security firms working the deadly concert, security camera footage of the incident as well as “fire exit and emergency plans, floor plans and regulatory permits” secured.

GloRilla and Finesse2tymes — who also performed — weren’t named in the lawsuit and neither was any other individual or organization outside of the Main Street Armory for that matter.

Attendees thought they heard gunshots which led to the crowd surge that killed the 33-year-old Belton as well as a pair of 35-year-old women, Brandy Miller and Aisha Stephens.

A further seven people were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the Rochester Police Department.
