The rapper Takeoff’s manager has just spoken out about the rapper’s shooting death and said Takeoff was struck by a stray bullet.
A representative for the Migos musician sent a statement on social media late Tuesday that said, “We are devastated. Senseless violence and a stray gunshot has taken another life from our earth.”
Outside of the Houston bowling alley, Quavo was face-to-face with a group of men; Takeoff and others supported him while he sparred for more than 30 seconds before the gunfire started.
Around 2:30 AM, TMZ Hip Hop got a hold of this footage of the brawl; you can see and hear Quavo shouting with someone while Takeoff stands a short distance behind him. Someone — possibly Quavo — says, “I don’t get down like that!” during a conversation about playing basketball.

A single gunshot is heard a few seconds later, and as everyone begins to flee, a barrage of shots are fired into the throng. In total, you can hear more than ten rounds, at least two of which appear to have been fired from different weapons.
People started running in all directions to escape the shower of gunshots, which caused chaos. Takeoff was shot close to his head, as we previously reported, and despite Quavo and a bystander’s best efforts to revive him, he was declared dead at the site.
The Houston Police Department disclosed during a press conference on Tuesday that a 23-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman had also been struck and had been taken to the hospital for treatment. Police are requesting information from the witnesses, who they claim left the site of the shooting in the majority.
