Bullets have no names.
When the shooters decided to pull out their guns, anyone could have been murdered. In this case, Takeoff from the Migos, unfortunately, paid the price for the increasing gun violence in our country.
I am sure everyone who wasn’t injured is thankful and mournful about what happened that evening. One of those individuals was boxing superstar Shakur Stevenson.
Boxing star Shakur Stevenson was standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Takeoff right before the rapper was shot and killed early Tuesday morning in Houston, TMZ Sports has learned.
Thankfully, Shakur wasn’t physically injured.
25-year-old Stevenson, a former champ who’s regarded as one of the best fighters in the world, was seen on video directly next to the Migos rapper … wearing a blue hat as an argument turned deadly.
Shakur is from New Jersey … but now lives in Houston. He was seen partying with Jas Prince earlier in the week. He’s also friends with the Migos.
Takeoff was tragically murdered around 2:30 AM Tuesday morning outside of a bowling alley called 810 Billiards & Bowling … following a heated argument between Quavo and another man.
It’s during the verbal altercation that Shakur was seen next to Takeoff.
Houston PD has asked witnesses to come forward to recount their side of the story. It’s unclear if police have been in contact with Stevenson or his people.
Stevenson went to social media to say RIP Takeoff but didn’t have anything to say about the incident.
Police say after an altercation, someone pulled out a gun, and a single shot was heard before someone started shooting back with multiple shots. In the crossfire, Takeoff was shot in the head and was killed immediately.
The hip-hop world is mourning his loss and another senseless death in our community. Thoughts and prayers go out to all of Takeoff’s loved ones.
