Takeoff, whose real name was Kirsnik Khari Ball, was fatally shot on November 1, 2022, at a bowling alley in Houston, Texas, where he and Quavo were attending a party, which consisted of about 40 to 50 people. Some people were playing a dice game with the Migos duo standing there.

After the game, an argument occurred outside the bowling alley, where Takeoff was an “innocent bystander” but was shot by Patrick Xavier Clark.
