Migos member Takeoff shot dead during fight at Houston party

A member of the grammy-nominated rap group Migos has been shot and killed during a fight at a party in Houston.

Migos member Takeoff was attending a private party at a bowling alley early Tuesday morning when a fight broke out and someone opened fire. The 28-year-old rapper was pronounced dead on scene, a representative for the group confirms.

Houston police confirm they responded to a shooting at 810 Billiards & Bowling in Houston. Police say two other people were shot and taken to hospital.

Migos member Quavo was also in attendance but was not injured.

Takeoff was the youngest member of Migos, the rap trio from suburban Atlanta that also featured his uncle Quavo and cousin Offset. They first broke through with the massive hit “Versace” in 2013. The song was remixed by Drake, heightening its popularity.

Weeks ago, Quavo and Takeoff released their debut “Only Built for Infinity Links,” without the third Migos member, Offset.
