An attorney for a man accused of fatally shooting rapper Takeoff last month said Monday that the musician's death outside a Houston bowling alley was a tragedy but that her client says he's innocent of the crime.
Patrick Xavier Clark, 33, made a brief court appearance in which prosecutors and his defence attorneys agreed to hold a bond reduction hearing on Dec. 14. Clark was arrested on a murder charge last week and is jailed on a $2 million bond.
Police have said another man and a woman suffered non-life-threatening gunshot injuries, and that at least two people opened fired. Police said investigators are still trying to track down witnesses. Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said last week that investigators didn't know whether Clark was invited to the party or if he knew Takeoff. Clark works as a DJ, according to court records.
Court records indicate Clark was arrested as he was preparing to leave the country for Mexico after getting an expedited passport and that he had a "large amount" of cash.
