Takeoff Killing Case Heads to Trial in November With Jury Selection on Nov. 5

The prosecution’s case centers on surveillance footage plus a wine-bottle fingerprint, which the defense disputes.

Overview

  • Patrick Xavier Clark, 36, will face a Harris County jury with selection beginning Nov. 5 and trial slated to start Nov. 9, according to his attorney.
  • Clark has pleaded not guilty to murder and remains free on a $1 million bond after his December 2022 arrest and a May 2023 grand jury indictment.
  • Prosecutors say video shows Clark pointing and firing a gun and investigators report his fingerprints were found on a wine bottle at the scene.
  • The defense maintains Clark did not fire the fatal shots and has challenged the clarity of the surveillance, the ballistics, and the forensics.
  • Takeoff, born Kirsnick Khari Ball, was killed on Nov. 1, 2022, outside 810 Billiards & Bowling after a dice-game dispute involving Quavo; two others were wounded and survived.
