Police have arrested two people following the fatal shooting of rapper Takeoff, who was killed last month outside a bowling alley in the US city of Houston, Texas.

Houston police announced on Friday that 33-year-old Patrick Xavier Clark has been charged with murder in connection with Takeoff’s death.

Another man was arrested earlier this week in relation to the case but is not believed to have fired the weapon.

Born Kirsnick Khari Ball, Takeoff was the youngest member of Migos, the Grammy-nominated rap trio from suburban Atlanta that also featured his uncle Quavo and cousin Offset.

The 28-year-old musician was one of three people police said were shot outside the downtown bowling alley around 2.30am on November 1, when a dispute erupted as about 40 people were leaving a private party at the alley.

Police have said another man and a woman suffered non-life threatening gunshot injuries during the shooting, in which at least two people opened fired.

Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said the day after the shooting that Takeoff was 'well respected', and there was 'no reason to believe he was involved in anything criminal at the time'.

Migos’ record label, Quality Control, mourned Takeoff’s death in a statement posted on Instagram that attributed it to “senseless violence”.


Fans and other performers, including Drake and Justin Bieber, celebrated Takeoff’s musical legacy in a memorial service last month in Atlanta.

Migos first broke through with the massive hit Versace in 2013. They had four Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, though Takeoff was not on their multi-week number one hit Bad and Boujee, featuring Lil Uzi Vert. They put out a trilogy of albums called Culture, Culture II and Culture III, with the first two hitting number one on the Billboard 200 album chart.

Takeoff and Quavo released a joint album Only Built For Infinity Links just weeks before his death.
