Prosecutors in Texas say the man accused of fatally shooting rapper Takeoff last month tried to flee the country.
Patrick Xavier Clark, accused of fatally shooting rapper Takeoff last month outside a Houston bowling alley, is displayed on camera monitor during a court appearance, Wednesday, Dec. 14, 2022, in Houston. last month outside a Houston bowling alley sought information about using fake plane tickets to obtain an expedited passport in his efforts to flee the country, and repeatedly made online searches about whether he was a suspect in the case, prosecutors alleged during a court hearing Wednesday.
Takeoff was shot in the head and back as more than 30 people were leaving a private party at the bowling alley around 2:30 a.m. on Nov. 1. Houston police have said the gunfire followed a disagreement over a “lucrative” game of dice outside the bowling alley, but that the 28-year-old rapper was not involved and was “an innocent bystander.”During Wednesday’s hearing, Clark’s attorneys had sought to have his bond reduced from $2 million to $100,000.
Quinones denied Clark was trying to leave the country after the shooting, saying that before his arrest he had canceled a previously scheduled trip to Mexico and that on the day of his arrest he had been looking for an apartment to rent in the city. Clark’s father, Joseph, testified that his son works as a DJ and also promotes night clubs but that he has never been financially stable, still lives at home, borrows his truck to get around and wouldn’t have the resources to flee to another country.
