Takeoff, born Kirshnick Khari Ball known best for his role in the Grammy-nominated group Migos, was fatally shot and killed outside of Houston’s 810 Billiards & Bowling in November 2022.

Takeoff received an invitation to attend a private party at the bowling alley, during which an illicit “lucrative dice game” ensued.

On Wednesday, Davenport initiated a lawsuit in a Harris County, Texas district court against the property owners and various LLCs linked to Houston’s 810 Billiards & Bowling. The lawsuit asserts that the defendants neglected their duty to ensure adequate security measures on the evening of Takeoff’s tragic passing at the age of 28 at a private party.Davenport who is Takeoff’s estate administrator, claims the “Defendants were responsible for the operation, management, access, and safety of 810 Houston and its invitees.” Her lawsuit also claims there are over dozen reasons why the defendants neglected to provide a safe environment and that “the facility and premises were rented by a well-known music personality” — the family of Rap-A-Lot CEO J. Prince — and that there would be a gathering “‘after hours’ and with potentially many artists, popular athletes and public figures.”

33-year-old Patrick Xavier Clark, aged 33, has been identified as the individual charged with the murder of Takeoff. Clark, after posting a $1 million bond, was formally indicted by a grand jury in Harris County on May 25th.Davenport is seeking a trial by jury for damages including personal injury, wrongful death, funeral expenses and mental anguish.
