Houston cops have made an arrest within the shooting death of Migos rapper Takeoff outside a Texas bowling alley last month.
Patrick Xavier Clark, 33, has been taken into custody and charged with the murder, police announced Friday.
Cops said a fight erupted during a dice game on the venue and that Clark squeezed off shots sooner or later throughout the melee.
Multiple person is believed to have fired a weapon throughout the fracas, in keeping with police.
While Takeoff’s brother and bandmate Quavo was seen arguing with others before the shooting, Takeoff was circuitously involved within the skirmish, in keeping with police.
The rapper, whose real name was Kirsnick Khari Ball, was struck in the pinnacle and torso by bullets throughout the chaos and pronounced dead on the scene.
On Wednesday, authorities arrested one other suspect within the case, but said he was not the triggerman.
Cameron Joshua, 22, is being charged with gun possession and will emerge as a cooperating witness within the case against Clark.
Police said the party was full of witnesses who all scattered from the bowling alley without offering statements to police, complicating their monthlong probe into the shocking incident.
Quavo has been inconsolable since his brother’s passing, in keeping with reports.
“I’ve been going to sleep and waking up hoping that every one of it is a dream, but it surely’s reality, and reality looks like a nightmare,” the “Bad and Boujee” rapper, real name Quavious Keyate Marshall, wrote on Instagram recently.
Offset, Takeoff’s cousin and a former member of Migos, also paid tribute following the loss, writing: “My heart is shattered and I even have so many things to say, but I can’t find the words. I’ve been going to sleep and waking up hoping that every one of it is a dream, but it surely’s reality, and reality looks like a nightmare.”
