Migos rapper Takeoff is dead after a shooting early Tuesday outside a bowling alley in Houston, a representative confirmed.
He was 28.
Takeoff — whose name was Kirsnick Khari Ball — was part of Migos along with Quavo and Offset.
A representative for Migos, who was not authorised to speak publicly, confirmed to The Associated Press that Takeoff had died.
Police responded shortly after 2:30 a.m. to reports of a shooting at 810 Billiards & Bowling, where dozens of people had gathered on a balcony outside of the bowling alley, which is on the third floor, police said.
Officers discovered one man dead when they arrived.
Security guards who were in the area heard the shooting but did not see who did it, a police spokesperson said.
Two other people were injured and taken to hospitals in private vehicles.
No arrests have been announced.
