Migos: Takeoff’s final Instagram story before fatal shooting
Takeoff, a member of rap trio Migos, was shot dead in Houston, Texas on Tuesday (1 November).
The rapper – full name Kirshnik Khari Ball – was 28 years old.
Police officers were called at approximately 2.34am local time (7.34am GMT) about a shooting outside of 810 Billiards and Bowling Alley in downtown Houston, where a private party of around 40 people was taking place.
Takeoff and his Migos bandmate Quavo were both in attendance. Quavo – real name Quavious Keyate Marshall – was not injured in the altercation. The third Migos member, Offset, was not present.
An argument emerged, reportedly after a game of dice, and shots were fired. Takeoff was pronounced dead at the scene.
His death has been mourned by industry figures and fans, with tributes for the late rapper pouring in on social media.
Celebrities including James Corden, Drake, SZA, Outkast, and Khloé Kardashian have shared posts remembering the rapper.
As of yet, no suspects have been arrested with Houston police chief Troy Finner calling on witnesses to “step up” with information about the shooting.
The police, as well as fans of the rapper, have urged others to remove graphic videos of the incident that have been circulating online.
Takeoff was ‘unconscious when nurse arrived at scene’
A nurse who attended the scene of the Houston shooting that killed Takeoff has recalled the moments directly followed.
In a conversation with local news outlet Click2Houston, the health professional (who chose not to be identified) told of how she heard the commotion at 810 Billiards and Bowling from her home nearby.
Although she was not on duty, she attended the scene to see whether she could help.
“I could not have lived with myself if I knew I had the equipment to save his life and I didn’t,” she said.
Later in the report, she claimed that Takeoff had no pulse when she arrived and that she saw his eyes rolled back with a pool of blood behind his head.
He was later pronounced dead at the scene.
