The Harris County Medical Examiner lists Takeoff’s primary cause of death as “penetrating gunshot wounds of head and torso into arm.”

Just in time, a new Takeoff Mural has been added to the Atlanta Beltline near old Fourth Ward. Quavo and Offset have not yet made public statements about Takeoff’s murder, though Offset did change his Instagram avatar to a photo of the rapper.

Their debut studio album, Yung Rich Nation, was released in July 2015, and featured guest appearances from Chris Brown and Young Thug, and production from Zaytoven and Murda Beatz.[6] The album peaked at number 17 on the Billboard 200.
