“I can tell you that Takeoff was not involved in playing the dice game, he was not involved in the argument that happened outside, he was not armed. He was an innocent bystander.”
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said, “I will say that too many young men — and I will be more specific and say too many young men of color —are killing other young men. This has to stop.”
