Man Accused Of Killing Takeoff Released On $1 Million Bond: The man who was charged with murder in connection with the shooting death of Migos musician Takeoff in Houston has been released on a bond of one million dollars.
According to the court documents, Patrick Xavier Clark, age 33, was granted bail and released from the Harris County jail on Tuesday.
On December 1st, Clark was taken into custody on a murder charge. Clark is considered to possess a “strong and meritorious claim for self-defense,” according to his attorney, Letitia Quinones.
On November 1, Takeoff, age 28, was shot multiple times in the head and back as more than thirty people were exiting a private party that had been held at a bowling complex.
Police in Houston has stated that the shooting occurred as a result of an argument that took place over a “lucrative” game of dice; however, they have stated that Takeoff was not involved and was “an innocent spectator.”
