Takeoff's accused killer maintained his innocence through his attorney, saying that he was not involved in the shooting in any way.
The authorities arrested the 33-year-old man named Patrick Xavier Clark "peacefully" on Thursday on a murder charge. He is currently jailed on a $2 million bond after Takeoff's death.
He has since appeared before the court as the prosecutors, and his defense attorneys decided to hold a bond reduction hearing and agreed to meet again on December 14.
As reported by Billboard, it was noted that the accused man was handcuffed during Monday's hearing. While he refused to say anything about the case, one of his attorneys insisted that his client is innocent.
According to Letitia Quinones, Clark is nervous and concerned as he is being charged with something he never did.
"He's being charged with something that he believes he's innocent of, so how would anyone do in that type of circumstance?" she said.
Despite the arrest, police continue their investigation and start talking to people present at the scene but left without giving their statements.
Before Clark's arrest, a 22-year-old man named Cameron Joshua was also charged with two counts of a felon - felony to possess a firearm and unlawfully carrying a weapon. He was not charged over Takeoff's death, but the authorities have since noted that he was already a previously convicted felon who "unlawfully, intentionally, and knowingly possessed a firearm at a location other than the premises at which the Defendant lived."
