Almost seven months after the fatal shooting of US rapper Takeoff in Houston (Texas), a 33-year-old man has been charged with murder.
A so-called grand jury assessed the evidence in the case as sufficient for a trial, as the public prosecutor in the Harris County district of the German Press Agency announced on Thursday.
The suspect was arrested in December. He is said to have shot the 28-year-old rapper – real name Kirsnick Khari Ball – on November 1 in Houston. According to investigators, the crime took place after a private party at a bowling alley after a dispute and shots were fired. Police described the rapper as an “innocent bystander” who was unarmed and not involved in the argument.
Together with rappers Quavo and Offset, Takeoff formed the Grammy-nominated group Migos from Atlanta, Georgia. Migos celebrated successes with hits like “Versace”, “Bad and Boujee” and “MotorSport”. Thousands said goodbye at a large funeral service in mid-November. Musicians such as Drake, Justin Bieber, Chloe Bailey and Yolanda Adams also commemorated the dead.
