Takeoff Funeral Date, Venue Confirmed: Will It Be Open to the Public?

Details of Takeoff's funeral have been finalized after the rapper's tragic and horrifying death.

Families, friends, and fans of Takeoff have been emotional since the rapper's untimely passing following a shooting incident on Nov. 1 at a bowling alley in Houston, Texas. They continuously support each other and shower him with love amid the dark moment in the hip-hop industry.

Over a week after the incident happened, the late Migos rapper's family finalized his funeral arrangements.

According to local news outlet WSB-TV2, Takeoff's funeral will take place on Friday, November 11, at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The venue can accommodate more than 20,000 people, which is huge enough to welcome Takeoff's fans and friends who want to see him for the last time.

Meanwhile, Atlanta radio station V-103 said New Mercies Christian Church's Rev. Jesse Curney, III will officiate the services. The funeral will begin at 1:00 p.m.

"I was really sad to hear the news. Kirsnick has been a faithful member since he was ten years old. He and his family were active and avid supporters of the church and the community as a whole," Rev. Curney said in a statement, as quoted by a news outlet.

Takeoff's Death Tragic

The young rapper died "penetrating gunshot wounds of head and torso into arm" after a shooting incident broke out outside a Houston bowling alley.

The police already clarified that Takeoff was not the target, while his record label said the rapper was killed by a stray bullet.

Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said at least two firearms were used and that there were two or more suspects in the area when the shooting happened. Although they are yet to name the suspect, one potential shooter was seemingly caught on camera.

A video obtained by a news outlet showed a man in black with a black satchel. He was holding a handgun in his right hip pocket when a heated discussion involving Quavo happened.

The Houston Police Department already saw the clip and made the man a person of interest. They have not reached a development on the case, yet.

Meanwhile, the Harris County Coroner's Office is yet to determine Takeoff's cause of death, but it was noted that some of the 10 shots wounded him. His death, on the other hand, is considered a homicide.
