In case you missed it, The Blast reported about the tragic event that occurred in the early hours of November 1st.

It was reported that the “Slippery” rapper was at a bowling alley called 810 Billiards & Bowling Houston, playing a few games of dice. He was accompanied by his group member and uncle Quavo when the scuffle broke out.

Per reports, shots were fired, and the rapper was either hit in the head or close to the head, resulting in a fatal wound. He was allegedly pronounced dead at the scene.

From photos of the incident, the 31-year-old rapper was spotted trying to revive Takeoff. At one point, Quavo and his crew tried to move the 28- year old, but they had to put him down. It turned out that while at the establishment, the young artist posted his location on Instagram. It may likely have been that the incident was targeted, or the shooting may have been unrelated.

Also, it was revealed that alongside the rapper, two other people were shot. The two victims were conveyed to a hospital in private vehicles. Although their condition and how they were related to the shooting is yet to be known.

Prior to this fateful event, Quavo and Takeoff had just released a new song titled “Messy.”
