LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Migos’ Takeoff’s 2022 murder trial has a new development as the owners of the bowling alley where the rapper was shot in November 2022 are pushing back against his mother’s lawsuit.

Kirsnick Khari Tiquon Ball, known professionally as Takeoff, was the youngest member of the hip-hop group Migos. He died in a shootout on November 1, 2022, aged 28.

Following his tragic death, the rapper’s mother Titania Davenport filed a $1 million lawsuit against the owners of the 810 Billiards and Bowling (mentioned in the suit as 810 Houston LLC) club where the fatal shooting took place.

The owners are now pushing back while asking the court to dismiss Davenport’s suit.

Per RadarOnline, Davenport said in her June lawsuit that her son was an invitee at the venue on November 1, 2022. She further claimed that the owners of the 810 Houston were informed about the event taking place that night.

Takeoff’s mother added that the owners were aware of the gravity of the event and they knew it would require extra security as it would be drawing a large crowd - “many of whom could be celebrities which in itself presents unique and advances security considerations, none of which were taken.”

Davenport then pointed out that the club lacked after-hours controls and security measures, as rules or industrial-level security were not enforced. She went on to describe the events that possibly led to the shooting.

Davenport shared that a group of the participants tried intimidating the rapper by verbally and physically causing trouble. “As a result, two people or groups of people began shouting at each other,” said the late rapper’s mother in a lawsuit.

She claimed that Takeoff, “an innocent bystander,” was “shot by stray bullets during the shootout” that led to his death. Davenport sought the seven-figure amount in damages.

Now, in response to Davenport’s suit, 810 Houston LLC denied all allegations while arguing that "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."

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

Previously two men - Patrick Xavier Clark and Cameron Joshua, have been accused and arrested related to Takeoff’s death, per HipHopDX.

Cameron Joshua, whose professional name is Lil Cam, and is allegedly affiliated with J Prince Jr’s Mob Ties Records, was arrested in Houston on November 22, 2022. While he was arrested and charged with felony unlawful carry of a weapon, the district attorney’s office did not accuse him of murdering Takeoff.

Clark, on the other hand, was arrested on December 1, 2022, and was officially indicted on murder charges on May 25, 2023, by a grand jury.

While denying their involvement, 810 Houston LLC further argued that “ample evidence exists” to prove “Clark’s intentional criminal actions proximately caused, in whole or in part, the damages for which Plaintiffs no seek recovery.” A judgment on the lawsuit is still awaited.

Defendant blames Takeoff for his death

Previously in January, another defendant pushed back Davenport’s suit when they blamed Takeoff for being responsible for his death.

Another defendant Midway Companies, LLC, blamed Takeoff partially for the tragedy as they said in their court filing, “Decedent Kirsnick Khari Tiquon Ball [Takeoff]” is partially to blame because of “failing to exercise ordinary care for his own safety.”
