U.S. rapper Takeoff shot dead over dice game in Houston

Takeoff, an American rapper and one-time part of the Migos Trapster trio, was shot early on Tuesday in Houston, Texas, and his death has since been verified.

According to several accounts, Takeoff, 28, was shot around 2:30 a.m. while playing a dice game with his uncle and former Migos leader, Quavo, at a bowling alley called 810 Billiards & Bowling Houston.

In an online video that has gone viral, Takeoff, whose actual name is Kirshnik Khari, was shown lying lifeless on the ground while being encircled by Quavo and another bystander as aid was being given.

Gunshots were reportedly fired during the argument, and Takeoff was reportedly declared dead at the scene after suffering severe wounds. 

Before the shooting, the American rapper posted a selfie from the bowling alley where he was later murdered.

Takeoff’s death becomes the most recent celebrity death associated with public shootings in the States, following the gruesome murder of PnB Rock, a U.S. rapper who was shot dead during a robbery at a waffle restaurant in September 2022.
