Police and emergency officials with the Houston Fire Department responded to 810 Billiards & Bowling around 2:30 a.m., law enforcement sources told TMZ. When they arrived on the scene, they discovered Takeoff, whose real name is Kirshnik Khari Ball, suffering a gunshot wound to either the head or neck. He was pronounced dead a short time later.
Houston police confirmed an investigation into the violence was underway, but declined to name the person killed pending family notification.
Witnesses told TMZ that Quavo and Takeoff were playing dice at the Houston hotspot when an altercation broke out that quickly escalated to violence. Another two people were reportedly shot and hospitalized, though their conditions were not clear.
Quavo was not wounded in the gunfire.
Police told KHOU that about 40 to 50 people were at 810 Billiard and Bowling for a private party when the shooting occurred.
RIP.
