A 33-year-old man was arrested on a murder charge in the shooting of rapper Takeoff.

Patrick Xavier Clark was taken into custody peacefully Thursday night, Dec. 1, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said.

Clark’s arrest came one day after another man was charged in connection with the Nov. 1 shooting, which authorities said followed a dispute over a dice game and wounded two other people.

Takeoff was an “innocent bystander” when he was struck by gunfire outside a Houston bowling alley on Nov. 1.

Clark is being held in jail Friday, Dec. 2, awaiting a bond hearing.

Police Sgt. Michael Burrow said during a Friday news conference that the gunfire followed a disagreement over a “lucrative” game of dice, but that Takeoff was not involved and was “an innocent bystander.”
