Graphic Video: ‘Migos’ Rapper ‘Takeoff’ Dead At 28 In Tuesday Houston Bowling Alley Shooting

HOUSTON, TX. (THECOUNT) — The Migos rapper, Takeoff, who’s real name is Kirsnik Khari Ball, was fatally shot outside a Houston bowling alley early Tuesday. He was 28.

According to reports, Takeoff and his bandmate and uncle, Quavo, were playing dice outside 810 Billiards & Bowling, when an unknown altercation broke out and someone opened fire around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Takeoff was struck either in the head or near his head. He was pronounced dead at the scene of gunshot injuries.

Police responded shortly after 2:30 a.m. to reports of a shooting at 810 Billiards & Bowling, where dozens of people had gathered on a balcony outside of the third-floor bowling alley, police said. Officers discovered one man dead when they arrived, reports Rapup.

Video from the scene shows Quavo and others gathered around Takeoff. At first they tried to move him, but then put him back down, and Quavo frantically calls for help.

Security guards who were in the area heard the shooting but did not see who did it, a police spokesperson said. Two other people were injured and taken to hospitals.

Takeoff was the youngest member of the Atlanta supergroup Migos, which also featured his uncle Quavo and cousin Offset. Last month, he and Quavo released their joint album Only Built for Infinity Links.

Just hours before the shooting, Takeoff posted a photo of himself at the bowling alley. Quavo also shared a video of himself driving around Houston with Jas Prince, who was celebrating his birthday.
