The murder trial in Takeoff's death has been postponed again, this time to next year. According to court documents obtained by XXL on Tuesday, Nov. 3, Patrick Xavier Clark's trial in Harris County's 232nd District Court is now scheduled to begin April 15, 2027. Jury selection had been set to start this Thursday, Nov. 5, with the trial on Nov. 9. Clark's attorney, Kent Schaffer, told XXL that both sides had numerous trial conflicts and that the state recently turned over a large amount of evidence that Clark's previous counsel had not seen. "While there is nothing harmful in that evidence, we still need time to review it. We still fully expect to prevail," Schaffer said. Takeoff, born Kirsnick Khari Ball, was shot and killed outside 810 Billiards & Bowling in downtown Houston on Nov. 1, 2022. Police say the shooting followed an argument over a dice game Takeoff was not part of. Clark has pleaded not guilty and remains free on a $1 million bond.
