In the early hours of 1st November 2022, Dockaysworld reported the death of American rapper Kirshnik Khari Ball, popularly known as Takeoff after he was shot dead in Houston Texas.
Since the shocking event, many have begun to call on authorities to find out who shot takeoff in order for justice to be served.
American gossip blog TMZ had shared a video showing the moments leading to the shootout that left the rapper dead on the spot with two others critically injured.
A painstaking analysis of TMZ’s video by Dockaysworld, reveals how and who might have possibly let out one of the shots that killed takeoff, and it just might be a case of a friendly fire.
In the video, Quavo is seen having a heated argument with another individual in the presence on a small crowd that surrounded them.
Takeoff is also seen in the background quiet and observing how things play out.
A few moments into the argument, things escalate and shots are let off, a particular individual in a black top and hat “believed” to be one of the Migo’s homies, could be seen briefly pulling out his gun and letting off shots in the direction of where takeoff stood, before the camera is distorted due to the scuffle.
