Takeoff shot dead: Migos rapper dies aged 28

Migos rapper Takeoff was shot dead in Houston in the early hours of Tuesday morning, according to reports.

The 28-year-old, whose real name is Kirshnik Khari Ball, is said to have been playing a dice game with his bandmate Quavo when a shooter opened fire at bowling alley 810 Billiards & Bowling at 2.30am. Law enforcement rushed to the scene, where Takeoff was pronounced dead, writes The Mirror.

Footage of Quavo trying to help his bandmate has reportedly been seen by TMZ, with the heartbroken star calling for help as his nephew Takeoff lies on the ground wounded. The publication reports another two people were shot and taken to hospital and that Quavo wasn't injured in the shooting.
