The trial of Patrick Xavier Clark, the man accused of killing rapper Takeoff, is now scheduled to begin on April 15, 2027. Court documents show the trial had initially been set for November 5.
Clark's attorney, Kent Schaffer, told XXL that both sides had scheduling conflicts and that prosecutors recently turned over a large amount of evidence the defendant's previous counsel had not seen. Schaffer said the defense needed time to review it.
Takeoff was shot and killed outside a Houston bowling alley on November 1, 2022. Prosecutors say gunfire broke out during an argument among several men playing dice in the lobby of 810 Billiards & Bowling.
