Blossom game causes the death of a famous rapper
Tykov, a member of the Migos rap group, was shot and killed at a party at a bowling alley in Houston early Tuesday morning, according to media reports, citing a representative of the artist and law enforcement sources.
The Home Office tweeted that two more people were injured, but Houston police are reluctant to identify the victims until their first-degree relatives are notified and the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences verifies their identities.
But a representative of the famous rapper told the Associated Press that 28-year-old Tykov, whose real name was Kirshnik Khare Paul, was killed.
Citing law enforcement sources and several witnesses, TMZ reported that Tykov was killed.
The police did not reveal the motive behind the shooting, but various media reports said that the shooting was caused by a dispute related to the game of dice.
The Interior Ministry said police officers answered a phone call from the bowling alley at 2:30 a.m. and found a dead man upon arrival, which it described only as a black man in his twenties.
There were no reports of any arrests.
Grief over the death of Tykov, from Atlanta, swept the Internet in the hours after the first reports of the accident surfaced.
