A video shows star boxer Shakur Stevenson standing next to rapper Takeoff moments before Takeoff was fatally shot early Tuesday morning in Houston.
The rapper, who was a part of the group Migos, was killed outside a bowling alley.
The video appears to show fellow Migos member Quavo, Takeoff's uncle, in an argument about basketball. Shortly after, shots can be heard as a crowd scatters in different directions. It is early in the video when the boxer is seen next to Takeoff.
