Migos rapper Quavo's quest to transform his nephew Takeoff's tragic shooting into a force for change during a movement-building summit aimed against gun violence on what would have been the late rapper's 30th birthday. Quavo hosted the inaugural Rocket Foundation Summit at the Carter Center in Atlanta on Tuesday.
The trauma Migos rapper Quavo suffered after witnessing his nephew Takeoff being gunned down last year is a disturbing experience he says he doesn't want anyone else to endure. These days, Quavo has turned his pain into purpose as a vocal advocate for gun violence prevention.
Houston police announced Friday that Patrick Xavier Clark, 33, has been charged with murder in connection with Takeoff's fatal shooting outside a bowling alley last month.
Police in Texas have announced an arrest in last month's shooting death of the performer Takeoff. Houston police said Friday that 33-year-old Patrick Xavier Clark was charged with murder and has been arrested in connection with the rapper's death.
Authorities say a man who has been accused of illegally having a gun at the time that rapper Takeoff was fatally shot last month in Houston has been charged in connection with the case.

Fans of the slain rapper Takeoff will gather to celebrate the 28-year-old's life and musical contributions. Born Kirsnick Khari Ball, Takeoff was a member of the hip-hop group Migos. He was killed Nov. 1 in a shooting outside a Houston bowling alley.
The rapper, with his endlessly evolving flow, was the Migos' ultimate ambassador. He was at his most charismatic and comfortable going back and forth with his family.
Kirshnik Khari Ball, known professionally as Takeoff, died early Tuesday morning after gunshots were fired at a party in Houston. "We are looking for anything to help us," a police official said.
Police say they have few leads in the fatal shooting of rapper Takeoff dead outside a private party at a downtown Houston bowling alley. They say most of the 40 people who attended the party at 810 Billiards & Bowling fled when the gunfire erupted early Tuesday.
