Around 40 people gathered around 1 am after the party was over and two shots were fired. Takeoff died in the shooting.

Takeoff’s Murder suspect released

Takeoff‘s murder suspect, Patrick Xavier Clark’s bond was reduced from $2 million to $1 million. He is currently out of the jail. After the shooting in Houston, Texas, Clark was arrested the following month and charged with murder. The attorneys representing Clark argued that $2 million goes against the Texas constitution. His family was also unable to pay such hefty funds. Thus, the court granted the reduction in the bond.
