Mural honoring Takeoff unveiled in Atlanta

A new mural was put up overnight in Atlanta, a tribute to the late-Migos rapper Takeoff, who was killed this week in gun violence in Houston.

A music video for Quavo and Takeoff's song, "Messy" had millions of views days after it debuted. The song soared to No. 1 on YouTube's Trending Music with more than 7.5 million views in fewer than five days on Friday morning.

Investigators haven't indicated who killed Takeoff

Houston police Chief Troy Finner said the 28-year-old rapper was killed early Tuesday. The gunfire also led to non-life-threatening wounds to another man and a woman.

Police haven't officially identified a suspect or person of interest. At least two people discharged firearms, according to Finner. A man, dressed in black, is seen on video standing close to Takeoff and Quavo and appears to be holding a gun. 

Most of the 40 people who attended the party at 810 Billiards & Bowling fled when the gunshots rang out, Finner said. Mayor Sylvester Turner said investigators are relying on video and statements from people coming forward to further the investigation.

"Let me just ask ... that anyone who has information on the shooter or shooters to provide that information to HPD and let us solve this situation," Turner said at a news conference Tuesday. "Let us bring justice to this family."

Takeoff shooting videos

One video that was obtained by TMZ can be hard to watch and some may find it disturbing.

MIGOS RAPPER TAKEOFF SHOT TO DEATH AT HOUSTON BOWLING ALLEY

The video appears to show Quavo, one of the other members of Migos, getting into a heated argument with someone, and Takeoff is not too far away from him. Top-rated boxer, Shakur Stevenson also appears to be seen standing next to Takeoff.

WARNING: GRAPHIC VIDEO. VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED

In the video, a discussion about basketball can be heard, and someone says "I don’t get down like that."

Moments later, the camera appears to be moving away from the crowds just seconds before the sound of multiple gunshots can be heard. People are seen fleeing from the area. At least 10 shots can be heard being fired in the video.

A second video appears to show Quavo in a heated discussion with someone as Takeoff and top-rated boxer, Shakur Stevenson, stand nearby. The conversation turns to basketball and someone, possibly Quavo, says "I don’t get down like that."

WARNING: GRAPHIC VIDEO. VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED

Quavo appears to move behind the potentially armed man and then several shots are heard. The crowd quickly disperses. At least 10 shots could be heard being fired in the video.

There is no definitive proof that the man seen in the video was one of the two people who actually fired shots.

Houston police say they have seen the video and are working to identify the man. They have deemed him a person of interest.

It was not clear if the man dressed in black was with Takeoff, Quavo, Stevenson, or if he was there on his own.
