The man presumed to be responsible for the death of Takeoff has been identified. On Friday, December 2, the Houston police department announced 33-year-old Patrick Xavier Clark has been arrested and charged with the rapper's murder.
The fatal shooting went down on November 1 at a Houston bowling alley.
At the time, the late star, who was 28, was hanging out with Migos bandmate and cousin Quavo, 31. As OK! reported, Takeoff was an innocent bystander and wasn't involved in an altercation that resulted in shots ringing out at around 2:30 in the morning, with one bullet hitting him in the head and one in the torso.

In addition to several speeches, singers such as Justin Bieber, Alicia Keys and Drake took the stage to perform. Also in attendance was Quavo and Takeoff's third Migos collaborator, Offset, who came alongside wife Cardi B.
The latter broke her silence on the huge loss after taking several days to grieve with her husband privately.

I am heartbroken but I am grateful for all the precious memories we got to share while you were here with us," the mom-of-two, 30, gushed. "This has truly been a nightmare and the pain is incomparable."
