Takeoff was shot dead in Huston yesterday morning while hanging out with his uncle Quavo at the Bowling Alley. Quavo and Takeoff were both members of the popular hip-hop trio Migos, along with Offset.
According to reports, Takeoff was killed by a single shot in or near his head. Several clips from the scene were shared on the internet, including one in which Quavo stands over Takeoff’s body, screaming in despair while attempting to save his nephew.
Unfortunately, despite efforts by Quavo and witnesses to help him, Takeoff was pronounced dead on the spot.
TMZ got another footage that reveals what transpired only 30 seconds before the shooting. Quavo is arguing with an unnamed individual in the video, with Takeoff standing behind him. A single gunshot is heard seconds later, and as everyone begins to flee, a hail of bullets begins to rain down. According to TMZ, at least two separate firearms were used and more than ten gunshots were fired.

TMZ also shared another video that shows Quavo walking away from the argument just before the shooting starts.
“I ain’t doing this s**t bro,” says Quavo as he tries to leave. Just then, a physical altercation breaks out between unidentified individuals, and someone shoots a gun.
