Police have arrested two people in connection with the shooting death of renowned Migos rapper Takeoff, Houston authorities confirmed Friday.
Patrick Clark, 33, was arrested Thursday and charged with murder, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said in a news conference. Cameron Joshua, 22, was arrested on November 22 on a charge of felony possession of weapon, the chief said, according to NBC News.
Officers said the investigation is ongoing but that more arrests are possible.
Kirshnik Khari Ball, better known as Takeoff, was killed on November 1 outside a downtown Houston bowling alley at the age of 28.
Officials said Takeoff and fellow Migos member Quavo, 31, were at a private party at 810 Billiards & Bowling when gunfire erupted near the entrance after the private party ended, police said.
Takeoff died due to penetrating “gunshot wounds of head and torso into arm,” according to a Harris County Medical Examiner report.
Police said that there was no evidence that Takeoff had anything to do with the fight that led to the shooting and that he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Takeoff was laid to rest last month, with a funeral celebration held in Atlanta’s State Farm Center, as previously reported by The Shade Room.
