New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ office referred comment to the NYPD, which said investigations into Castic and Clemente’s deaths “remain ongoing.”Collectively, the Avant Gardner complex is one of the largest music venues in the city, with a total capacity of about 6,000 people. It is known for hosting some of the biggest names in electronic music, as well as for the 200-foot-wide LED video screen that serves as the backdrop to the Brooklyn Mirage’s stage.
On July 29, John Castic, 27, was last seen around 3 a.m. exiting the Mirage. He told his friends he was feeling ill and was heading home, according to his father, Jeffrey Castic. Three days later,The NYPD has not suggested Castic or Clemente’s deaths were the result of foul play. The medical examiner has not yet released a cause or manner of death in either case; a spokesperson said both cases remain under investigation.
It points to a lack of security outside the Mirage, as well as the frequent presence of unlicensed taxis posing as Uber and Lyft drivers when thousands of patrons exit, often at 4 a.m. when many shows wrap up. “They’re not waiting for you to approach them,” she said. “They’re approaching you and they’re saying, ‘Taxi, taxi, you need Uber?’ And if you tell them no, sometimes they’ll leave you alone, sometimes they’ll keep doing it — like, ‘Oh, come on, you need an Uber? I’m cheaper.’ And then you basically have to tell them to f— off.”
“I know crowd crush can hurt anyone, but I am a 4’11” woman,” Miller said. “I am incredibly susceptible to that if I were ever in a big crowd, and it has surprised me that no one has died that we know of at crowd crush at the Mirage.”
