At a news conference, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner announced that Patrick Clark, 33, had been detained on a murder charge on Thursday.
According to Houston Police Department Sgt. Michael Burrow, “We were able to determine that Patrick Clark is the deadly shooter in the case, and that’s why he’s being charged with murder.
“According to the chief, Cameron Joshua, the other suspect, was detained on November 22 on suspicion of carrying a weapon without a permit.He was there at the scene and had a weapon, according to Finner. He is an offender.
One month had passed since Kirshnik Khari Ball, also known as Takeoff, was fatally shot outside a bowling alley in downtown Houston.
He was 28.Takeoff and Quavo, a 31-year-old member of the Migos, were reportedly at a private party at 810 Billiards & Bowling, according to officials.
After the celebration finished, gunfire broke out near the entryway, according to authorities.
A Harris County Medical Examiner report states that Takeoff’s piercing “gunshot wounds of head and torso into arm” are what caused his death.At the news conference on Friday,
Burrow claimed that the shooting was the result of an argument that started outside the bowling alley after a game of dice.Burrow said, “I can assure you that Takeoff was not participating in the dice game or the argument that occurred outside. “He was an innocent bystander; he was not armed.”
There is absolutely no evidence to suggest otherwise, continued Finner. “Definitely the wrong place at the wrong time.
“If Clark and Joshua knew Takeoff or if they were invited to the exclusive party, the police would not comment.
According to officials, there is still an inquiry into the shooting.
Takeoff was the youngest member of the rap group Migos, which also included his uncle Quavo, true name Quavious Keyate Marshall, and a 30-year-old cousin named Offset, also known as Kiari Kendrell Cephus. Although they formed as a group in 2008, Migos didn’t become well-known until they released their huge hit “Versace” in 2013. This song gained even more popularity when Drake made an appearance on the remix.
While Takeoff was not included on the trio’s multiweek No. 1 song “Bad and Boujee,” which also featured Lil Uzi Vert, the group still scored four Top 10 songs on the Billboard Hot 100.
The first two albums of the Migos trilogy, Culture, Culture II, and Culture III, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart. 2018 saw the release of “The Last Rocket,” a solo album from Takeoff.Fans and musicians alike responded to the news of his passing with shock and grief.
The rapper Drake captioned an Instagram picture of him and Takeoff performing, saying, “I got the fondest memories of all of us touring the world together and giving light to every city we touch. I’ll concentrate on that for the time being.
