Rapper Takeoff, best known as one-third of the hip-hop group Migos, was shot and killed Tuesday morning, according to a report.
The “Walk It Talk It” hitmaker, whose real name is Kirshnik Khari Ball, was gunned down when a fight broke out over a dice game at a private party at 810 Billiards & Bowling in downtown Houston, TMZ reported. He was 28.
Houston Police and fire officials arrived on the scene at around 2:40 a.m. following multiple reports of a shooting.
Cops located a large crowd of around 40 to 50 people inside the premises, including a man lying on the ground with a gunshot wound.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. Two additional victims were transported to nearby hospitals.
Police did not release the identities of the victims, but said the person killed was a man in his late 20s.
The victim’s identity will not be released until it is verified by the county coroner and his family has been notified, police said.
Footage obtained by TMZ showed Quavo and others gathered around Takeoff, who was lying on the ground. The clip reportedly showed the group trying to move his body before they put him back down and shouted for help.
Takeoff, who was born in the Atlanta suburb of Lawrenceville, dabbled in solo projects during his time with Migos, releasing his debut solo album “The Last Rocket” in 2018.
