Last week two arrests were made in the murder of Migos rapper Takeoff [click here if you missed that].
Apparently the arrest was made WITHOUT the help of the dozens of witnesses at the scene of the crime...
From ABC 13
A month to the day that Migos rapper Takeoff laid dying after shots were fired with dozens of people around him, police appear to have solved a puzzle that they say became tough to put together once all of those witnesses escaped without giving investigators a statement HPD Homicide Division Sgt. Michael Burrow told reporters.
"Literally every single one of those people left the scene without giving a statement to police," Burrow said, adding that they had to track down people later that night and in the days after.
Still, police want to speak with witnesses.
"It's important that those people come forward, and we're still looking to talk to a lot of those people," Burrow said.
According to Burrow, they had to rely on a "large volume" of video surveillance evidence, as well as cell phone videos and audio that they examined later on.
"We had to sift through all of that and use physical evidence, and use shooting reconstruction, and confirm a lot of our ballistic evidence. What weapons were involved?" Burrow said. "And through that, we were able to deduce that Patrick Clark is the legal shooter in the case. That's why he's being charged with murder."
