Takeoff, who was one of three rappers in the group Migos, has been killed after a shooting in Houston.
Kirshnik Khari Ball (born June 18, 1994), known professionally as Takeoff, was an American rapper. He was best known as a member of the hip hop trio Migos along with his uncle Quavo and first cousin once removed Offset.
The rapper was reportedly shot and killed at 810 Billiards & Bowling in Houston, Texas. Cops were called shortly after 2:30 in the morning on Nov. 1, the site reported. Houston police confirmed that the shooting victim was pronounced dead on the scene after being shot in the head or neck. HollywoodLife has reached out to a rep for Takeoff for confirmation.
The rapper was with fellow Migos member, Quavo, when the fatal incident took place. An altercation reportedly broke out when the two were playing dice at the bowling alley.
Photos and videos from the scene show a man, presumably Takeoff, on the ground, being tended to by Quavo. Shortly before the incident took place, Takeoff posted a photo of himself smoking on his Instagram story.
Houston police confirmed via Twitter that a shooting took place and one person was “deceased upon arrival.” They also later added an update confirming that two other victims were taken to the hospital in private vehicles.
It is reported that Quavo was not injured in the shooting. Police will not be confirming the identity of the deceased until the family has been notified. However, they did confirm that Takeoff and Quavo were in attendance at the time of the shooting.
