LGBTQ Pioneer and Live Nation Executive Killed in Surfside Collapse

The impact of the tragic condominium collapse in Surfside, Florida, has rippled across the country to Beverly Hills after Miami-Dade police confirmed the death of Live Nation executive Theresa Valasquez, 36, along with her two parents. Velasquez, who worked at Live Nation’s Beverly Hills headquarters, had traveled to Florida the night before the collapse to visit her parents, Julio, 67, and Angela, 60.

“Our hearts break for the loss of our beloved Theresa Velasquez, her parents Angela and Julio, and everyone taken far too soon in the tragic accident in Surfside, FL,” a statement from Live Nation released on Saturday read. “Theresa was an impassioned leader at Live Nation, who elevated every project she was part of, at the same time breaking down barriers for women, and the LGBTQIA+ community. We will always remember and honor the impact she made and will miss her dearly.”
