Cameron Joshua: In connection with the night Migos rapper Takeoff was killed in a Houston bowling alley last month, a 22-year-old man is accused of using guns.
Cameron Joshua has been accused of two counts of felon in possession of a weapon, even though no one has been charged with Takeoff’s murder.
Early on Wednesday, Cameron Joshua showed up in court. During the court appearance, it was made clear that police had connected Joshua to the Takeoff shooting after seeing surveillance footage and receiving a tip that he was carrying a gun from an unnamed witness.
Prosecutor Matt Gilliam stated, “We think Cameron Joshua has been prosecuted in this case appropriately. “We’re continuing our inquiry into Takeoff’s passing,”
Christopher Downey, Cameron Joshua’s lawyer, asserted that the district attorney’s charges may have been different if he had believed Joshua was connected to the crime.
Cameron Joshua’s lawyer said, “I haven’t seen anything to imply Cameron Joshua had anything to do with the shooting — that he discharged a firearm, which caused his death, or was even involved in it.
According to Downey, Joshua’s bond hearing has been rescheduled for next week because he was already free on bail after being found in possession of a fraudulent ID. If the bond should be withdrawn entirely, the judge will rule on that.
Although Cameron Joshua has a prior mugshot from the Department of Public Safety, a fresh mugshot of him was unavailable. According to records, the individual has been charged with several offenses in Harris County before, including car burglary and tampering with official documents.
According to documents, he also faces extra state fugitive charges.
The incident occurred at the 810 Billiard and Bowling facility at 1210 San Jacinto Street in downtown Houston at around 2:30 on November 1.
At the site, authorities discovered a guy who had been shot and murdered on the third level, right outside the alley’s main entrance. According to sources, the individual was identified as Kirshnick Khari Ball, also known as Takeoff.
Along with Quavo and Offset, Takeoff was a member of Migos.
Workers at the location informed HPD officers that a crowd gathered near the front door after a party finished. There was some quarrel at that meeting, culminating in the fatal gunshot.
According to a police spokesperson, security workers in the neighborhood heard the shooting but could not spot the shooter. A 23-year-old guy and a 24-year-old woman who had both been shot went to the hospital alone.
Takeoff was the youngest member of the rap group Migos, including his uncle Quavo and his cousin Offset. The group came from the suburbs of Atlanta. In 2013, they made their breakthrough with the huge smash “Versace.” Drake‘s remix of the song increased its appeal.

The group recorded four Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hits; however, Takeoff was absent from their multi-week No. 1 hit “Bad and Boujee,” which included Lil Uzi Vert. The first two albums in their trilogy, “Culture,” “Culture II,” and “Culture III,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album list. For their streaming success with multiplatinum songs like “Motorsport” (featuring Cardi B and Nicki Minaj), “Stir Fry,” and “Walk It Talk It,” they also received an ASCAP Vanguard Award in 2018.
