Thania Garcia The man accused of shooting rapper Takeoff was indicted for murder by a Harris County grand jury on May 25, according to the county’s District Attorney’s Office. Patrick Xavier Clark, 33, was arrested in Houston last December after police connected him to Takeoff’s (real name: Kirsnik Khari Ball) murder on Nov. 1.

He was an innocent bystander.” Police said Clark was seen on video surveillance footage pulling out a gun and firing multiple rounds while holding a wine bottle in the other hand, according to a report by KHOU 11 News Houston, citing court records. Police were able to identify Clark by the fingerprints left on the wine and a forensic investigation was used to argue Clark was the only person who could have shot and hit Takeoff from where both men were positioned. Both Offset and Quavo, who made up the Migos trio with Takeoff, are set to debut their first full-length albums since the murder took place in the near future. Quavo’s album “Rocket Power” is dedicated to his late nephew while Offset
