The arrests come a month after Takeoff, a member of the popular rap group Migos, was shot and killed outside of a downtown Houston bowling alley on Nov. 1. Officials say that Takeoff and fellow Migos group member Quavo were attending a private party at the bowling alley. Gunfire erupted near the entrance, hitting Takeoff after an apparent disagreement over a dice game as the party was coming to an end. Though the investigation is still ongoing, officers say they are certain Takeoff was not a part of the disagreement.
"I can tell you that Takeoff was not involved in playing in the dice game, he was not involved in the argument that happened outside," Burrow said. "He was not armed, he was an innocent bystander."
