"Y'all took Takeoff, bro," he adds while sobbing. "It's done. Y'all wanted it, it's over. Y'all killed Takeoff...I can't even call [Quavo]. I can't even call Offset. I can't even call none of these nigga. Yo, [DJ] Durel..."

As previously reported, Migos member Takeoff was reportedly shot and killed in Texas at a bowling alley called 810 Billiards & Bowling Houston early this morning. According to TMZ, Takeoff was shot around 2:30 a.m. following an altercation during a dice game, which resulted in someone opening fire and fatally striking the Atlanta rapper. Two other people were reportedly hit during the shooting and transported to the hospital in non-emergency vehicles. Takeoff was reportedly pronounced dead on the scene.
Video is circulating of the aftermath of the shooting, which appears to show Takeoff laying in a pool of blood while Quavo, who was present but not injured during the shooting, tries to get him assistance.
