Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic The death toll following a concert by the rapper Glorilla has risen to three. Police in Rochester, NY, reported that another critically injured woman died Wednesday night, three days after Sunday night’s deadly crowd stampede. The third fatality was Aisha Stephens, 35, of Syracuse, the Rochester Police Department’s Lt. Greg Bello told reporters. Her death followed that of two other women who were caught up in the crush, both of whom died Monday. Those victims were Rhondesia Belton, 33 of Buffalo, and Brandy Miller, 35, of Rochester. Seven other people had been hospitalized following the melee following GloRilla’s performance at Rochester’s Main Street Armory, but none of those injuries was said at the time to be life-threatening. Authorities have not provided an update on whether any of those concertgoers is still hospitalized.
