Takeoff was shot multiple times in the torso when he was at a bowling alley with Migos member, also his uncle Quavo. The murder occurred after an altercation ensued during a game of dice at the mall. Several people witnessed Takeoff’s death as he was shot in the middle of the mall.
“This morning at 2:34 a.m. officers received a call of a shooting in progress. Officers arrived there shortly thereafter — a downtown location, Billiards & Bowling Alley. They came upon a male who was deceased. That male has been identified as Kirsnick Ball, better known as Takeoff. He’s a member of the Migos rap group, out of Atlanta,” Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said.
“A private party was booked out for the event — after that ended, a large group of people gathered at the front door area outside of the building, and that led to an argument where the shooting took place from the disagreement,” he added.
