The gunfire that murdered Takeoff injured other people, including Quavo’s assistant.
Joshua “Wash” Washington was reportedly one of two persons shot outside a Houston bowling alley on Tuesday morning, according to law enforcement officials. The 23-year-old man was taken to a nearby hospital shortly after the gunfire, according to the TMZ report. His wounds are said to not be life-threatening, and he is anticipated to make a full recovery.
Wash defines his position at Quavo’s record label, Huncho Records, as “operations management” in addition to being Quavo’s assistant. He has already made news after a picture of him supporting Quavo with an umbrella went viral in August of last year. Quavo continued by saying that his helper receives $5,000 a day from him.

According to a statement made by the Harris County Medical Examiner on Wednesday, Takeoff suffered “penetrating gunshot wounds of the head and chest into arm” before passing away.
A female victim, age 24, was shot as well and was brought to a hospital with non-life-threatening wounds.
Police are still looking for the murderer. Before the shots were fired, a man can be seen carrying a gun in the video. A person is a person of interest in the shooting investigation, according to the police.
In a statement, Takeoff’s record company Quality Control Music expressed its sorrow over the “monumental loss” and lamented the fact that “a stray bullet has claimed another life from this earth” due to senseless violence.
Offset altered his Instagram profile picture to that of Takeoff following his passing, and 50 Cent, Drake, and Beyoncé all paid the 28-year-old MC respects.
