A Texas college student on Thursday was named as the ninth victim of Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival tragedy after a crowd surge pushed toward the stage in the light of the rapper's performance.

Attorney James Lassiter said that Bharti Shahani, the 22-year-old student from Texas A&M University, died on Wednesday after being critically injured during last week's tragedy, Billboard reported.

According to her cousin, the 22-year-old college student attended the concert with her cousin and her younger sister.

"This was her first music festival, our first music festival. She was looking forward to it. She had her outfits planned," Bahartis younger sister Namrata said.

As the Astroworld Festival tragedy unfolded, the Texas college student was reportedly placed on a ventilator as she was in critical condition days after she sustained her injuries.

On Tuesday, Shahani was declared brain dead by the medical officials, The Daily Mail reported.
