Patrick Clark has been officially charged for the murder of TakeOff

A grand jury in Harris County, Texas has officially indicted Patrick Xavier Clark, who was arrested in connection with Takeoff’s death last year.

Last December, a man named Patrick Xavier Clark was arrested for the murder of Migos rapper Takeoff, who was shot and killed on November 1 in Houston, Texas.

Now, Clark has been formally charged with murder, TMZ reports.

Clark was indicted by a Texas grand jury on Thursday (May 25), according to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.

Following his arrest, Clark was released on $1 million bond in early January.

According to a report from the Associated Press at that time, Clark’s family had attempted to get his bond lowered to $300,000, saying in court that they couldn’t pay off anything higher.

Clark’s attorney has stated that her client has a “valid and meritorious claim for self-defense,” per the Associated Press.

Takeoff had been playing dice in a Houston bowling alley on November 1, 2022, when gunfire broke out, as TMZ and local media reported at the time.

His death was ruled as a homicide due to the nature of his gunshot wounds.

Takeoff was 28.
