Takeoff Killed in Houston, Twitter Immediately Reacts — Rapper Desiigner Says He’s Quitting Rap
We reported earlier about the death of Migos member, Takeoff who reportedly died earlier this morning in Houston, allegedly at a dice game.
According to TMZ, the shooting and death took place at a bowling alley called 810 Billiards & Bowling Houston at approximately 2:40 a.m. Takeoff, real name Kirshnik Khari Ball, was there with his uncle, Quavo, nee Quavious Keyate Marshall. They were in Houston celebrating the birthday of Jas Prince.
According to Houston Police Department Lt. Salazar, 40 to 50 people were at the venue which is located at 1201 San Jacinto, around 2:40 a.m. when the shooting took place. Two additional victims were located at nearby hospitals, HPD stated.
TMZ obtained footage from the scene that showed a crowd gathering around the fallen rapper immediately after the shooting took place. Takeoff was seen motionless on the ground with a shaken Quavo reacting to his family member being in that state. They tried to move the body but stopped and placed him back on the ground as other people started to call for help.
Long Live Takeoff!🕊💔 You will forever be remembered. RIP to the best out of all the Migos!😭 pic.twitter.com/jg5WaAB4pc

I was in college when Biggie and ‘Pac were killed and thought there was no way we’d ever experience anything remotely close to that again. Now it’s happening so frequently that you barely have time to recover before someone else killed. RIP Takeoff.

Praying for his family, friends, community, and everyone impacted by this loss. It just keeps happening.

No hot takes. No profound thoughts. Just sad that another rapper, son, brother, and friend has been killed. God be with all those who feel the loss. #TakeOff #MIGOS

Just opened up this bird app to news about Takeoff. Too many black men are not living to be “old.”
Rest In Peace to the best rapper in the Migos.

Sad & senseless. He was a bystander & got shot. We gotta do something about everyone & they momma in Texas having guns! Especially reckless folk who can’t simply disagree with people-they have to resort to this! My deepest condolences to the whole family of Takeoff. Gone at 28💔 https://t.co/4ifff7xIYL
