Takeoff, a popular US rapper from the group Migos, was shot and killed in Houston, Texas, at the age of 28. The musician was slain on Tuesday while playing dice with his uncle and bandmate Quavo at a bowling alley. The revelation was confirmed to the Associated Press by a spokesperson for the musician, whose real name is Kirshnik Khari Ball.

"Tell me this ain't true," was the response following Takeoff's passing.
