Migos rapper Quavo was toe-to-toe with a group of guys outside that Houston bowling alley as Takeoff and others had his back while he argued for more than 30 seconds before the shooting began, TMZ reports.
According to the report, video footage obtained by TMZ Hip Hop showdown around 2:30 AM, shows Migos rapper Quavo arguing with someone, and Takeoff is a few feet behind him. There’s a discussion about playing basketball, and someone possibly Quavo says “I don’t get down like that!”
Seconds later, there’s a single crack of gunfire and when everyone starts running, a flurry of shots are firing through the crowd. More than 10 shots in total can be heard, and it sounds like they came from at least 2 different weapons, TMZ reports.
Chaos ensued, with folks running in all directions to escape the hail of bullets. As first reported, Takeoff was shot near his head, and despite efforts to resuscitate him, made by Quavo and a bystander he was pronounced dead on the scene.
Members of the Houston Police Department held a press conference Tuesday afternoon and revealed a 23-year-old male and a 24-year-old female were also hit, and went to a hospital for treatment. Cops say most of the witnesses to the shooting fled the scene, and they’re asking them to come forward with information about what happened.
