His management company, Quality Control Music, said: ‘It is with broken hearts and
deep sadness that we confirm the loss of our beloved brother Kirsnick Khari Ball,
known to the world as Takeoff.
Senseless violence and a stray bullet has taken another life from this world and we
are devastated.’
The Grammy-nominated rapper had been at a private party with his uncle, Quavo, 31,
where a group played dice.
Outside the 810 Billiards & Bowling Houston, Quavo was caught on camera in
footage obtained by DailyMail.com arguing with a group of people as a crowd
gathers.
At one point, someone in the crowd – seemingly the man arguing with Quavo – can be
heard saying: ‘Now listen, man – ain’t got to be disrespectful like that.’
Quavo replies with a line about basketball, saying: ‘Y’all seen me play basketball.
Don’t play like that.’
Someone can be heard in the crowd saying: ‘Let it go, bro.’
The crowd begins to disperse, then seconds later gunshots ring out – seemingly from
different directions.
Takeoff was shot in the ‘head or neck’ in the dispute.
Police confirmed that the artist died at the scene of the incident, and investigators
have launched a manhunt for the shooter or shooters behind the attack.
Troy Finner, Houston police chief, said they believe the assailant was at the party
with Takeoff, who he described as ‘very peaceful and loving’.
Authorities say they have ‘no reason to believe he was involved in anything criminal’
and confirmed that two firearms were used in the incident.
They are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with information to come forward so
they can apprehend his killer.
A 23-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman were taken to hospital in private
vehicles suffering from gunshot wounds, which are not thought to be life-
threatening.
