RIP
According to the news, they were playing a dice game and Quavo(his fellow group member of Migos) became irate because he was losing a few thousand though he is a multi-millionaire. So he and other members of his entourage started shooting at those he lost to and Takeoff was an innocent bystander. Too many rappers have been getting killed going into the hood with lack of security or should never be there in the first place.

If I was a millionaire rapper, I would give up the gangsta’ lifestyle and retire before it’s too late.

Who? Why do I never hear of these rappers until they're shot dead?

This 'gangsta' rap is a bad mutation of a once-viable art forknowing his days arem. In the beginning, rap artists just wanted to celebrate and basically condemned crime. They condemned drugs and prostitution. That all started to change when pornsters 2 Liv Cru came around. Now we have gangsta rappers involved in criminal activity who use rap not like the original 'battle rappers' did as a 'sport' but as a means to sass off the mouth to each other.
2Pac sassed off the mouth about Notorious B.I.G., he gets offed. 2Pac fans get pissed off and the later puts out a triple CD set knowing his days are numbered. Somebody murders him the next year. And so it goes.

Multimillionaire and gambling at a bowling alley. WOW I guess money can't buy brains. If he wanted to shoot dice and with the millions he had he could have jumped on his private jet and went to LAS VEGAS to shoot dice. Sad its always the posse that gets the innocent shot but still go to LAS VEGAS if you want to gamble!!!

***CORRECTION**
This 'gangsta' rap is a bad mutation of a once-viable art form. In the beginning, rap artists just wanted to celebrate and basically condemned crime, drugs and prostitution. That all started to change when pornsters 2 Liv Cru came around. Now we have gangsta rappers involved in criminal activity who use rap not like the original 'battle rappers' did as a 'sport' but as a means to sass off the mouth to each other. That gets them riled up. Some of them are Bloods and Crips.
