Takeoff, one of the three members of the Atlanta rap group Migos, is dead. Police say he was shot in Houston early this morning. The 28-year-old rapper, whose real name was Kirshnik Ball, was with his uncle and another Migos rapper Quavo, his cousin, for Halloween. Police say they were called to a shooting at a bowling alley after a fight broke out and shots were fired. They arrived to find a large crowd around a man with a gunshot wound to the head or neck area. Quavo was not hurt, but two other people were shot and taken to the hospital. The investigation is ongoing.
