Officials said Takeoff and fellow Migos member Quavo, 31, were at a private party at 810 Billiards & Bowling when gunfire erupted near the entrance after the private party ended, police said.
Police Say There Was No Evidence Showing Takeoff Had Anything To Do With Fight That Led To Shooting
Takeoff died due to penetrating “gunshot wounds of head and torso into arm,” according to a Harris County Medical Examiner report.
Police said that there was no evidence that Takeoff had anything to do with the fight that led to the shooting and that he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Takeoff was laid to rest last month, with a funeral celebration held in Atlanta’s State Farm Center, as previously reported by The Shade Room.
