At just 28, rapper Takeoff had cultivated a rich hip-hop legacy with Migos - along with a reputation as the trio's most lowkey member - before he was killed in a shooting early Tuesday.

Takeoff was pronounced dead at the scene outside a Houston bowling alley, police there said at a press conference Tuesday afternoon. No arrests had been made, and police were imploring witnesses to come forward with information.
