In the aftermath of Takeoff's death, we're now learning more details about what happened during the shooting that claimed the Migos rapper's life.

According to a report TMZ published on Thursday, November 3, Quavo's assistant Joshua "Wash" Washington was shot during the shoot-out that occurred outside of the 810 Billiards & Bowling in Houston. The report doesn't specify where exactly Wash was hit but he was rushed to the hospital immediately after the shooting went down. The 23-year-old's injuries were non-life threatening. Wash has been close to Quavo for years and reportedly serves as the rapper's assistant and part of the operations management team for Huncho Records.

Wash was one of two victims who were injured in the shooting. Another woman was hit when the shooter (or shooters) began firing shots. The 24-year-old was also rushed to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Takeoff was the only person who died on the scene due to his injuries. According to the Coroner's office, the late rapper was hit in the head and torso.

Police do not have any named suspects, but they are looking for an unidentified person of interest. Police are looking for a man who was armed right before the shooting began. According to footage from various angles of the shooting, the man, who wore all black and rocked a satchel bag, is the only clearly visible person who drew his gun. There's no concrete evidence that proves he fired his weapon at Takeoff. Nonetheless, investigators have questions for him.

Quavo has yet to comment on the situation while Offset simply change his Instagram avatar to a photo of his cousin. Quality Control's Pierre "P" Thomas and Kevin "Coach K" Lee have issued statements about their artist's death. Lee also commented on 4-year anniversary of Takeoff's only solo album The Last Rocket.
