Rapper Takeoff died in a shooting in downtown Houston. In the video above, HPD explains more about what happened.The rapper Takeoff, best known for his work with the Grammy-nominated trio Migos, is dead after a shooting early Tuesday outside a bowling alley in Houston, a representative confirmed. He was 28.
Security guards who were in the area heard the shooting but did not see who did it, a police spokesperson said. Two other people, a 23-year-old man, and a 24-year-old woman took themselves to the hospital and are expected to be OK. During Tuesday's presser, Finner also took time to address the hip-hop community, which he said gets a bad name, and called for them to help with Takeoff's death investigation.
Isaiah Lopez, 24, said he rushed down from his home in the Houston suburb of Humble after hearing Takeoff had been killed. "I feel it's just another good person gone too soon," Moreno said. "This happens every day but it hurts even more when it's somebody so talented and so young."
