Takeoff — Bowling Alley Where Rapper Was Fatally Shot Suggests ‘His Own Actions’ & ‘Unlawful Gambling’ Are To Blame, Asks Judge To Dismiss $1 Million Negligence Lawsuit

The bowling alley where Takeoff was tragically killed is fighting his mother’s negligence lawsuit against them.

Reportedly, the owners of 810 Billiards and Bowling in Houston responded to the suit in court recently, claiming they’re innocent of any wrongdoing.

A report from Radar Online revealed the business owners are instead placing blame on murder suspect Patrick Xavier Clark, as well as the Migos member’s own actions. Regarding the alleged triggerman, they reportedly wrote there is “ample evidence” to support their claim that Clark’s

“intentional criminal actions caused, in whole or in part, the damages for which Plaintiffs now seek recovery.”

Additionally, they argued that along with Clark, “criminal” individuals who took part in illegal gambling that night carry the fault of Takeoff‘s passing, adding :

“There is a reasonable probability that the occurrence in question as well as the damages complained of were proximately caused, in whole or in part, by unknown criminals who participated in unlawful gambling and/or the illegal possession of firearms.”

The business owners went on to suggest that Takeoff himself was partially to blame for his demise, adding:

“Defendant is not liable to Plaintiffs because Plaintiff’s own acts or omissions proximately caused or contributed to Plaintiff’s injuries.”

Takeoff, real name Kirsnick Khari Ball, was in Houston with his fellow Migos member and uncle Quavo, real name Quavious Keyate Marshall, the fateful night he died. The two attended an event at 810 Billiards where an argument escalated into gunfire, killing the rapper at just 28 years old.

Early reports claimed that the altercation stemmed from a dice game Quavo participated in that got heated. A police report later clarified, however, that the “Greatness” artist was actually seen attempting to de-escalate the situation by walking away. Unfortunately, shots began to ring off anyway, with one of them fatally striking Takeoff in the head and torso.

Following his death, Takeoff’s mother Titania Davenport filed a lawsuit against the bowling alley. She argued that the business operators knew that celebrities would be attending the event, but did not take extra measures to ensure everyone’s safety despite warnings. In separate lawsuits, the slain rapper’s parents are seeking $1 million in damages each.

It’s noted that 810 officially motioned the court to dismiss them from the suit based on their arguments. A judge has reportedly not yet decided on the matter.
