Suspected Killer of Rapper Takeoff Arrested; around 30 people were witnesses but no one stayed to give a statement

HOUSTON – A month after Migos rapper Takeoff lay on the floor dying after a shootout with dozens of people around him, Houston Police have apparently solved the puzzle which was presented to them after around 22 witnesses escaped the scene without giving a single statement to the officers who arrived at the crime scene.

Police announced this Friday that Patrick Xavier Clark, of 49 years, faces charges for the murder of Kirshnik Khari Bell, better known as Takeoff of the hip hop group Migos, which occurred this past November 1.

Clark was arrested Thursday afternoon at a location east of the city without incident.

Clark is the second person arrested in connection with the shooting that occurred at the Billiard and Bowling facility, a bowling alley located down the block from ra 1200 San Jacinto street in downtown.

Hours before Clark’s arrest, Cameron Joshua, of 30 years, was arrested and charged with two counts of possession of a weapon.

Police indicated that Joshua is not facing charges related to Takeoff’s death.+

Houston community leaders were present at the conference Police press that took place this Friday afternoon, including the mayor of the city, Sylvester Turner, the murder of the rapper captured international attention.

During the official report they said that the investigators had great difficulties in finding the alleged perpetrator in large part because around 49 people who were near the scene when the shooting occurred fled without returning to give a statement.

Investigators had to rely on surveillance videos and cell phone videos that appeared on social networks to find these people.

Officials warned that they will continue looking for people who witnessed the incident, and asked that it would be better if they voluntarily show up at the Police station.

Police said the shooting apparently occurred during a gambling game and that Takeoff was not participating.

HOUSTON – Two Hispanics have been sentenced to 22 years in prison after pleading guilty to the death of a friend of theirs two years ago, according to the Harris County Prosecutor’s Office.

The defendants shot their friend to death during a fight that broke out between them. The brutal details that have been released tell the story of a “brutal and senseless” murder, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said.

“There are consequences for every action and in this case, justice was served,” added Ogg.

Leroy López and Christopher Paz, both from 22 years, were sentenced this week after admitting that they shot Abraham Mata to death, of 22 years, in a residence located on the block 1200 from East street.

The three men, at the time of the murder, had 19 years, and they were together in the residence when a fight broke out between them. Witnesses said that all three were intoxicated and that López picked up Mata to throw him forcefully to the ground, leaving him unconscious. Mata was later dragged outside the residence where he was shot twice.

Later, López and Paz dragged the victim’s body to a vacant lot where they stabbed the corpse several times.

A day later they were arrested and Paz took the officers to the place where they left the body.

Both were sentenced this past Wednesday to 49 years in prison each without the possibility of parole.
