The tragedy of Takeoff’s shooting death has led to his mother, Titania Davenport, filing a wrongful death lawsuit against the owners of Houston’s 810 Billiards & Bowling. The lawsuit alleges that the venue failed to provide adequate security personnel and warnings of known hazards on the property, among other points of negligence. Despite the presence of high-profile personalities at the private party where Takeoff was fatally shot, the suit claims that there was no adequate security on the premises.
Davenport seeks damages under Texas law for pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of earning capacity, and wrongful death. Neither J. Prince nor any suspects implicated in Takeoff’s death were named in the lawsuit. The lawsuit details nearly 20 instances of negligence by the property owners, including the failure to retain, hire, train, and supervise their employees. Davenport’s filing is seeking compensation for her own mental anguish and suffering as well as the loss of earning capacity for her late son.
