Police in Texas have announced an arrest in last month's shooting death of the performer Takeoff. Houston police said Friday that 33-year-old Patrick Xavier Clark was charged with murder and has been arrested in connection with the rapper's death.
Authorities say a man who has been accused of illegally having a gun at the time that rapper Takeoff was fatally shot last month in Houston has been charged in connection with the case. But during a court hearing Wednesday, prosecutors said the suspect, 22-year-old Cameron Joshua, is not believed to have fired a weapon during Takeoff's shooting.
A shooter opened fire in a Walmart in Virginia late Tuesday, leaving six people dead, police said. It's the second high-profile mass killing in a handful of days.
Fans of the slain rapper Takeoff will gather to celebrate the 28-year-old's life and musical contributions. Born Kirsnick Khari Ball, Takeoff was a member of the hip-hop group Migos. He was killed Nov. 1 in a shooting outside a Houston bowling alley.
Kirshnik Khari Ball, known professionally as Takeoff, died early Tuesday morning after gunshots were fired at a party in Houston. "We are looking for anything to help us," a police official said.
Police say they have few leads in the fatal shooting of rapper Takeoff dead outside a private party at a downtown Houston bowling alley. They say most of the 40 people who attended the party at 810 Billiards & Bowling fled when the gunfire erupted early Tuesday. That's left investigators grasping for clues and asking for witnesses to come forward.

The suspect is no longer a threat to the community, officials say. Multiple federal agencies, including the FBI and ATF, have responded to assist local police.
In similar tragedies over the years, police encountered similar problems during the shootings at Columbine High School in 1999 and at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018.
