Owners of the bowling establishment where Takeoff from Migos tragically lost his life in 2022 have formally requested the dismissal of the lawsuit filed by the late rapper's mother.
Legal papers acquired by Radar Online reveal that the owners of 810 Billiards and Bowling have sought to be removed from the $1 million legal dispute.
On November 1, 2022, Tatiana Davenport's son attended an event as a guest at the establishment. She said in her legal complaint that the individuals responsible for the business were aware of the planned function at 810 Houston that evening.
Furthermore, Davenport emphasized that it was evident to the defendants that the occasion warranted heightened security measures due to the anticipated presence of a sizable audience, potentially including high-profile individuals, necessitating specialized security protocols that were overlooked.
Davenport highlighted the absence of post-event security protocols, inadequate regulation enforcement, and a failure to uphold industry standards as contributing factors to the lack of deterrence against criminal activities.
That tragic night in November 2022 led to a gathering of individuals stirred up chaos by engaging in aggressive behavior, attempting to intimidate the rapper.
This escalated into a confrontation between the two parties, leading to verbal and physical altercations.

Migos' Takeoff Shooting
Unfortunately, Takeoff, described as an unintended observer, fell victim to stray bullets fired during the altercation, ultimately resulting in his untimely demise.
At Davenport's court appearance, she insisted on receiving a seven-figure compensation for the harm caused to her and her son.
Accused of playing a role in the untimely demise of Takeoff, suspect Patrick Xavier Clark found himself in custody on December 1, 2022. Despite posting a bail of $1 million, he awaits his trial. To ensure no interference, the court prohibited Clark from contacting Takeoff's loved ones, such as J. Prince, during his release on bond.
Upon facing legal action, 810 Houston LLC firmly refuted any misconduct accusations. They contended that there is substantial evidence to suggest that Clark's deliberate illegal behaviors contributed significantly to the damages being sought by the Plaintiffs.
Per the bowling alley owner's response, "There is a reasonable probability that the occurrence in question as well as the damages complained of were proximately caused, in whole or in part, by unknown criminals who participated in unlawful gambling and/or the illegal possession of firearms."
"Defendant is not liable to Plaintiffs because Plaintiff's own acts or omissions proximately caused or contributed to Plaintiff's injuries."
The case is ongoing.
