Houston police are still piecing together the heated argument that took place before Takeoff was fatally shot. According to TMZ, law enforcement claims fellow Migos rapper Quavo and others exchanged “angry words after he lost a dice game at the bowling alley.” Police claim that once the group was outside, they started going back and forth over who would beat who in a basketball game.

In video footage circulating online of the shooting, Quavo is heard talking about basketball before getting frustrated and walking away. It is then that a punch is thrown before multiple weapons are fired.
According to a report from the Houston County Coroner’s office, Takeoff was shot in the head and torso and he died outside the business.
No arrests have been made but law enforcement does have a person of interest.
As reported by SandraRose.com, Alicia paid tribute to Takeoff Twitter, writing, “This is too much. It’s like every day. RIP Takeoff. Sending light to your family and loved ones. We are losing too many too soon!!”
