According to TMZ an armed guy who was standing only steps away from Takeoff and Quavo minutes before the deadly gunfire is now being sought in connection with the rapper’s death…
We got this footage, which shows a man clothed in black, with a black backpack and a revolver in his right hip pocket, barely seconds before the shooting.
As Quavo was involved in the heated dispute that preceded the firing, you can plainly see the firearm in the man’s pocket (he had his hand on it).
There is no evidence in the video that the man fired the initial shot, but he is seen lifting his firearm and possibly shooting it approximately 5 seconds later. It’s unknown how Takeoff or Quavo were positioned with respect to him at the time.
Houston police said they saw the footage and have identified the individual as a person of interest. He has not yet been identified.
Takeoff was trying to stand just a few feet behind Quavo outside the Houston bowling alley early Tuesday morning when things got heated.
Takeoff was hit in the head and pronounced dead on the scene following the gunfire (at least ten shots were fired). Two more people were injured but not seriously.
