HOUSTON (AP) \u2014 The man charged with murder in the fatal shooting of Migos rapper Takeoff in Houston has been released on $1 million bond.<\/p>\n
Patrick Xavier Clark, 33, was released from the Harris County jail Tuesday, according to court records.<\/p>\n
Clark was arrested Dec. one on a murder charge. His attorney, Letitia Quinones, has said Clark has a \u201cvalid and meritorious claim for self-defense.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clark’s family had unsuccessfully tried to get his bond lowered to $300,000, saying in court last month they couldn’t afford to pay anything higher. <\/p>\n
In a statement issued Thursday afternoon, Quinones said that a \u201cconcerned citizen and family friend who believes in Patrick’s innocence posted the bond on his behalf.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe Patrick is innocent and at the appropriate time, the evidence will reveal that to be the case,\u201d Quinones said. <\/p>\n
Takeoff, 28, was shot in the head and back on Nov. 1 as more than 30 people were leaving a private party at a bowling center. Houston police have said the gunfire followed a disagreement over a lucrative game of dice, but that Takeoff was not involved and was an innocent bystander.<\/p>\n
Born Kirsnick Khari Ball Takeoff was the youngest member of Migos, the Grammy-nominated rap trio from suburban Atlanta that also featured his uncle Quavo and cousin Offset.<\/p>\n
Clark, under conditions of his release, is under house arrest, must wear a GPS tracking device and avoid contact with anyone involved in the shooting investigation. Quinones said Clark will comply fully with the conditions of his release. <\/p>\n
Clark is scheduled to appear in court again on March 9.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
