Clark Seeks Evidence to Challenge Guilt | Hip-Hop News

Patrick Xavier Clark, accused in the fatal shooting of rapper Takeoff, is demanding access to ballistic evidence ahead of his November trial, hoping his defense team can uncover flaws in the prosecution’s case. The deadly incident erupted during a dice game outside a Houston bowling alley on November 1, 2022, leaving Takeoff dead and two others injured. Clark insists he’s innocent, despite prosecutors citing surveillance footage and his fingerprints on a wine bottle — but his lawyers are pushing back, arguing the evidence doesn’t prove he pulled the trigger. With jury selection starting November 5 and trial beginning November 9, this move could be a last-ditch effort to sow doubt. Meanwhile, Takeoff’s parents are locked in a bitter dispute over a $26 million wrongful death settlement, with his mother claiming she was the primary caregiver and his father seeking a large share despite admitting to being largely absent.
