Takeoff’s Death: New Details from the Coroner’s Report
Migos rapper Takeoff was shot multiple times, TMZ reports.
In the Harris County Medical Examiner’s report, obtained by TMZ, his cause of death was listed as "penetrating gunshot wounds of head and torso into arm."
The report also indicates the M.E. has completed their investigation and the office is ready to turn the body over to the family.
The news comes after the rapper’s record label shared new details surrounding his death.
Takeoff, 28, was shot early on November 1 at a Houston bowling alley. Quality Control Records erroneously stated in a release Wednesday that it was “a stray bullet” that killed him, when it is now clear he was struck more than once.
The company wrote on Instagram Stories, “It is with broken hearts and deep sadness that we mourn the loss of our beloved brother Kirsnick Khari Ball. Senseless violence and a stray bullet has taken another life from this world and we are devastated.”
TMZ Hip Hop also reported that Takeoff’s uncle Quavo was arguing with someone outside the bowling alley around 2:30 a.m. on November 1, just before the shooting. Takeoff and others were behind Quavo at the time. See the video here.
TMZ reports the discussion was about basketball and that someone was heard saying, "I don't get down like that!"
According to the site, moments later, a gunshot was heard. More gunshots were heard as everyone scattered.
Takeoff was pronounced dead at the scene.
