The man accused of fatally shooting Migos rapper Takeoff outside a Texas bowling alley last year appeared in court Thursday as his lawyer maintained his innocence in the slow-moving murder case.
Patrick Xavier Clark, 34, has been on house arrest with a GPS monitor since January and claims he didn't fire the bullets that struck Takeoff in the head and torso outside 810 Billiards & Bowling in downtown Houston on November 1, 2022, his defense lawyer says.
When Houston Police first arrested Clark last December, they said investigators determined he was the shooter by reconstructing the deadly incident with video and ballistics evidence.
But his lawyer says she reviewed the reconstruction and doesn't believe it would hold up at trial. "He maintains his innocence. We do believe that he has a valid self-defense claim. I don't think they can say with any degree of certainty that it was Patrick who actually fired the shot that took Takeoff's life," his attorney Letitia Quinones-Hollins tells Rolling Stone.
"There was someone else who started the shooting, it was not Patrick Clark. He was in the same position that Takeoff was in, he was trying to get out of there alive as well. He didn't have anything to do with the argument that occurred. He just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when people started firing weapons." She says a trial in the case probably won't come until the second half of next year, at the earliest. Clark's next court date is set for January 23, 2024.

Ok so ma’am first you say he has a self defense claim then you go on to say he didn’t fire the shot that took takeoffs life. Ma’am was your client shooting? Cuz then you say he was in the same position as take off fleeing for his life which would mean he was unarmed and running? What you saying not making sense so I hope you say it better in front of the jury if not your client going down.
Still cant believe the Prince family skated on this one with all of that check in nonsense.
Maybe it was third party self defense
J. Prince jr did it.
