Rapper’s Alleged Killer Apprehended by Houston Police
The Houston Police Department has reported a significant development in the fatal shooting case of Migos rapper Takeoff, which occurred on November 1. Patrick Xavier Clark, 33, has been taken into police custody and charged with murder.
According to court documents cited by TMZ, prosecutors have requested that Clark’s bail be set at $1 million. In addition, they have asked the judge to issue a restriction order preventing Clark from contacting Takeoff’s family, J. Prince Jr., his family, Shakur Stevenson, and individuals associated with his occupation.
The Houston Police Department has confirmed the arrest of Clark in connection to the death of Takeoff.
In an interesting twist of events, it has been proposed by the prosecution that if Clark manages to post bail, he should be placed under mandatory house arrest. This suggestion comes after it was revealed that Clark had applied for an expedited passport immediately following the rapper’s untimely death.
This move, along with other suspicious activities — such as arranging a flight to Mexico and being found in possession of a significant amount of money at the time of his arrest — has raised eyebrows. All this information was obtained from court documents acquired by TMZ.
Takeoff’s last moments were spent in a local bowling alley, enjoying the company of friends, including another Migos member, Quavo. Disturbance broke out when a member of the group became involved in a physical confrontation. Despite not being a part of the disagreement, Takeoff tragically ended up being a victim of the ensuing gunfire.
According to the police, the beloved rapper was an innocent bystander who was unarmed when he was shot. As per TMZ’s report, he was fatally struck in the head and torso and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The shocking incident unfolded in the presence of nearly 30 attendees. An alarming detail that has emerged is that almost all of the witnesses fled the scene without providing a formal statement to the police. TMZ also revealed that two other individuals sustained non-life-threatening injuries in the chaos that ensued.

The attorney for the 17-year-old accused of attempting to murder Ricky Pearsall, a first-round draft pick for the 49ers, is challenging the charges. According to the defense, the incident, which occurred during an attempted robbery earlier this month, does not constitute attempted murder.
“It was a rather extended struggle between Mr. Pearsall and my client,” stated public defender Robert Dunlap in an interview with David Lombardi of TheAthletic.com.
“They were really fighting back and forth on the sidewalk. As you might imagine, Mr. Pearsall gets the best of it. He does kind of — I don’t know if you’ve ever wrestled or not — a nice hip toss and throws my client to the ground and ends up on top of him. . . . I think [the video] supports that this is an attempted robbery and not an attempted murder.”
Dunlap also addressed and refuted a report alleging that his client had brought a gun to school.
“My client did not have a gun at school,” Dunlap said. “It’s a false report.”
Despite these arguments, prosecutors have chosen to charge Dunlap’s client with attempted murder. However, they have not yet determined if the young defendant will be tried as an adult.
The next court hearing for this case is scheduled for September 26.

A son, armed and vigilant, responded to a potential burglary at his mother’s unoccupied home in West Virginia during the early hours of the morning. The encounter ended fatally for the alleged intruder.
Authorities reported that the son, checking on the residence around 3:45 a.m., encountered an individual who turned toward him holding an object.
“Unwise move on the part of the intruder.”
The Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a male stating he had just shot an intruder at his mother’s Inwood home on Winchester Avenue.
Upon arrival, deputies discovered a male lying face down with a gunshot wound. Immediate life-saving measures were administered until emergency medical services arrived, but the individual was pronounced dead shortly after.
The deceased was identified as 38-year-old Joshua Boone from Williamsport, Maryland. The sheriff’s office confirmed that Boone’s next of kin had been notified.
The investigation revealed that the son, identified by WDVM-TV as Michael Marshal, had gone to the home after hearing about a possible break-in. Marshal told deputies that Boone turned toward him “with something in his hand,” prompting Marshal to fire his handgun.
Boone was located in the garage of the residence, where the fatal shot occurred.
The Department of Criminal Investigators processed the scene for evidence and is conducting a thorough investigation into the shooting. Once the investigation is complete, the case will be presented to the Berkeley County Prosecutors Office.
Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding this case to contact the Criminal Investigations Division at 304-267-7000.
