Rapper Takeoff, one-third of hip-hop act Migos, was shot and killed Tuesday morning, according to a report.
He was gunned down at a private party at 810 Billiards & Bowling in downtown Houston, TMZ reported. He was 28.
The “Walk It Talk It” hitmaker, whose real name is Kirshnik Khari Ball, died soon after Houston Police and fire officials arrived on the scene at around 2:40 a.m. following multiple reports of a shooting.
Houston Police Lt. Ronnie Willkens said the man appeared to have been shot in the head or neck, AP reports.
Penetrating gunshot wounds of head and torso into arm were later given as cause by the medical examiner and crime lab for Houston, Texas.
Two other victims were transported to nearby hospitals and their immediate fate is reportedly unknown.
Police did not release the identities of the victims, but said it was a fatal shooting.

The victim’s identity will not be released until it is verified by the county coroner and his family has been notified, police said.
Police confirmed that Migos members Quavo and Takeoff were in attendance at the time of the shooting, according to KPRC.
Quavo was not injured, TMZ reported.
Two weeks ago Quavo and Takeoff released their debut “Only Built for Infinity Links,” without the third Migos member, Offset.
