Those grieving Migos rapper Takeoff came together to hold a candlelight vigil in his memory.
He was fatally shot while attending a private event in Houston with his group member and Uncle, Quavo, on Nov. 1. Local police do not believe Takeoff was the intended target. Videos of Takeoff’s supporters coming together to celebrate his life surfaced online over the weekend. Local Atlanta radio station V-103 shared details for those interested in attending. In a repost, the radio station said the vigil would take place at Club Drive Park at 6 p.m. on Friday.
The photo added, “NAWFSIDE RISE UP AND SHARE,” along with a photo of the 28-year-old artist. One fan pointed out how his death coincided with Día de los Muertos, a two-day holiday widely celebrated in Mexico that honors the dead. The event translates to Day of the Dead in English.
