More than four weeks after the death of Migos rapper Takeoff, police in Houston, Texas, have charged a suspect with murder.
The 28-year-old recording artist, whose real name was Kirsnick Khari Bell, was killed Nov. 1 outside a Houston bowling alley, according to police.
On Friday, police announced that Patrick Xavier Clark, 33, had been arrested and charged in the case. Clark was arrested in Houston late Thursday.
“I spoke to Takeoff’s mother early this morning, and my prayers — and I ask that all of our prayers — continue to go out to her and his entire family, his close friends, the city of Atlanta, and all of Takeoff’s fans around the world,” Houston police Chief Troy Finner said. “We lost a good man.”
A second suspect in the case, 22-year-old Cameron Joshua, was previously arrested and charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon, police said.
Atlanta-based Migos first broke through in 2013 with the massive hit “Versace” and followed with four top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. The group released three albums, including “Culture,” “Culture II” and “Culture III,” with the first two hitting No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
