Police Launch Investigation Into Shooting Death Of Takeoff

An investigation is underway after Takeoff was shot and killed in Houston.

Police held a press conference on Wednesday afternoon where they confirmed that the Migos rapper was shot dead outside 810 Billiards & Bowling. Officers received a call shortly after 2:30 a.m. of a “shooting in progress” following a private event at the bowling alley.

Houston Police Chief Troy Finner started off by saying that he spoke to Takeoff’s mother, who flew in from out of town. “We stand with them in this city and this police department,” he said before praising Takeoff.

“I got many calls from Houston and everyone spoke of what a great young man this is, how peaceful he is, what a great artist.”

According to TMZ, more than 10 shots were fired from at least two different weapons. In video footage, Quavo can be heard arguing with someone before shots ring out.
