A DJ and club promoter accused of killing Migos rapper Takeoff was indicted by a grand jury Thursday on a murder charge, court records show.
The indictment alleges that Clark did “unlawfully, intentionally and knowingly commit the felony offense of deadly conduct by knowingly discharging a firearm at and in the direction of” Takeoff.
The indictment means the grand jury in Harris County, Tex., found there was enough evidence to formally charge Clark, who is next scheduled to appear in court in August. Police said at the time of his death that Takeoff had been an “innocent bystander” near an argument outside the bowling alley after what was described as a “lucrative” dice game. Roughly 30 people were outside the venue at the time of the shooting, and Takeoff, who was confirmed dead at the scene, was not involved in the confrontation or dice game, police said.Migos rapper Kirshnik Khari Ball, known as Takeoff, was fatally shot in Houston on Oct. 31 at a private party at a bowling alley.
“We have too many young men of color that are being injured or fatally killed and their future is cut off and family members and friends are left to mourn,” Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said at the time. “This does not have to be our reality, and it need not be our future.”
