The Houston Police Department identified Huncho Records A&R manager Migo Bands, 24, as a “person of interest” in the shooting death of rapper Takeoff.

Takeoff, whose real name is Kirshnik Khari Ball, was shot around 2:37 a.m. Tuesday at a private party hosted by Houston businessman J. Prince, Jr.

The 28-year-old rapper was shot multiple times in the head and torso, according to a Houston medical examiner.

Within hours of Takeoff’s death, Internet sleuths identified Migo Bands as the person who pulled a gun and fired in Takeoff’s direction.

Houston Police Sergeant Michael Arrington said “at least” two gunmen opened fire during the shootout that claimed Takeoff’s life.

“People fled after the shooting and did not stick around to offer a statement,” he said. “All we can hope is you all will reach out and give us evidence to solve the death of Takeoff.”

Mayor Sylvester Turner also issued a plea: “If you have any information – for those in the hip-hop community, to those who were there last night – please, please provide that information to HPD.”

Turner also chastised gang bangers who resort to gun violence to resolve conflicts.

“Now, everybody has access to guns,” the mayor said.

“In my day, you have a disagreement – fist fight and you deal with it. In this day, if there’s a disagreement, in those few seconds when the emotions are running high, people pull their guns and then they’re shooting – and as a consequence of that, we have too many young men of color that are being injured or fatally killed and their future is cut off and family members and friends are left to mourn. This does not have to be our reality.”

“Mark my words,” said Chief Finner. “This great city, with our great citizens, with our police department – we will find who’s responsible for it… We’re going to get them in custody, OK?”

Takeoff’s record label Quality Control Records in Atlanta issued a statement on Tuesday, saying Takeoff was killed by “senseless violence and a stray bullet.”

Meanwhile, Migos affiliates allegedly sent a message through social media to J. Prince, Jr.

The Internet is buzzing over a now-deleted video featuring Atlanta goons telling J. Prince to “Come to Atlanta.”

In case their message isn’t clear, the goons waved guns at the camera.

They were outraged that J. Prince Jr. was seen walking past Takeoff’s dead body while Quavo was screaming in anguish.

Prince did not stop to offer condolences to Quavo, who was his guest at the party. The Rap-A-Lot Records and Mob Ties CEO was gone by the time police arrived.

This is the second death of a high net worth individual at a dice game hosted by Prince in recent months.

Chicago’s Duke the Jeweler was robbed and fatally shot after winning $100,000 at one of Prince’s dice games in September.
