Overview
- The Harris County docket now lists a jury trial for Patrick Xavier Clark starting April 15, 2027, replacing a November 2026 start date.
- Clark remains free on a $1 million bond after his December 2022 arrest and has pleaded not guilty to the murder charge.
- Defense attorneys say newly disclosed material must be reviewed and have formally asked to independently test bullets and other physical evidence held by Houston police.
- Prosecutors rely on alleged surveillance video that they say shows Clark firing toward a group and on fingerprints recovered from a wine bottle near the scene.
- Separately, Takeoff’s mother reached an undisclosed wrongful-death settlement with the bowling-alley operators and a family dispute over that money is ongoing, with the upcoming pretrial testing and rulings likely to shape the case before April.
