TakeOff’s murder has resulted in a pair of arrests but new details continue to emerge from the tragic night that took the life of the Migos rapper.
According to an affidavit viewed by New York Times reporter Joe Coscarelli, Quavo was involved in a lucrative dice game outside Houston’s 810 Billiards and Bowling Alley and then got into an argument after losing money to a pair of individuals.
A man identified as Willie Bland then got involved in a physical confrontation in defense of Quavo and ended up striking one of the opposing individuals, per video surveillance footage.
Two people then exchanged gunfire, one of which has been confirmed to be Bland. However, the location of Bland at the time of the shooting was not consistent with the injuries suffered by TakeOff to deem him responsible for his death.
Patrick Xavier Clark — reportedly known as DJ Pat in H-Town — was apprehended on the city’s Eastside on December 2 and charged with the murder of TakeOff (real name Kirshnik Khari Ball) which took place outside 810 Billiards and Bowling Alley in Houston on November 1, 2022.
Per the affidavit, Clark was the only other person seen discharging a weapon. He then fled on foot to the nearby House of Blues and while shooting also had a bottle of wine in his other hand.
Police noticed that he brought the wine bottle with him to HOB and left it in the parking lot where authorities tested its fingerprints and connected Clark to TakeOff’s murder.
HPD Sgt. Michael Burrow added: “I can tell you TakeOff was not involved in playing the dice game, he was not involved in the argument that happened outside, he was not armed, he was an innocent bystander.”
The first arrest in the TakeOff shooting was made last month when Lil Cam (real name Cameron Joshua) was taken into custody in Houston, Texas on November 22 and charged with felony unlawful carry of a weapon.
A Harris County Medical Examiner said in TakeOff’s autopsy report that the Migos member died of “penetrating gunshot wounds of head and torso into arm.”
The 28-year-old was laid to rest with a celebration of life ceremony at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on November 12 in front of 21,000 mourners. TakeOff made his first posthumous guest appearance on Metro Boomin’s Heroes & Villains cut “Feel The Fiyaaaah” alongside A$AP Rocky.
i blame quavos bitch ass. loud mouth
You a bitch
Sizzla a waste man for burning the plaques. Crying about the size of the font of his name on the plaque for Another Man’s Album. Dis waste man was only on 1 song on Dj Khaled album. RIAA issues the plaques not Dj Khaled. Idiot tong dat he looks petty and pathetic. Making an issue over nothing this is a feminine quality. Sizzla behaving like a scorn woman. Jamaicans worship this idiot? Be grateful you were chosen to be on the album. Be grateful for.the opportunity and chance to make money. I hate dj Khaled he a bozo bit you have to agree with the type of artists he puts on his albums like jay z and Drake etc. For this nobody who is only a dancehall/reggae artist to make the album is something to be proud of. No gratitude or gratefulness. All this nonsense talk about rasta don’t behave like this and righteousness is a lie. Rasta are human beings like everyone else nothing is special about them they have the ability to lie, cheat steal etc like everyone else. They are not enlightened benevolent beings. Jamaican people believe their own foolishness.
