Woman shot in head during Takeoff killing compares incident to 'scary movie'

• The woman shot in the head during the same shooting in which Takeoff was killed has broken her silence.
• "It was like a scary movie," said Sydney Leday, 24.

A woman who was shot in the head during the same shooting in which rapper Takeoff was killed has said it is a "miracle" she is still alive.

Takeoff, full name Kirshnik Khari Ball, was shot and killed outside a bowling alley in Houston, Texas, in the early hours of November 1. He was 28 years old.

Police said the shooting stemmed from an argument over a "lucrative dice game" in which the rapper was not involved and that he was an "innocent bystander."

Sydney Leday, another bystander, was also shot as she fled the scene. The 24-year-old was left in a coma for a week due to her injuries.

A tearful Leday broke her silence about the incident.

"Like any other 24-year-old, I was just out partying and celebrating," she told Houston news outlet KHOU 11 last week. "I felt the sting in the back of my head. I felt myself falling."

Leday said after hitting the floor, she was picked up by the person she was with and driven straight to the hospital.

"It was like a scary movie, really," she continued. "Ironically, it was Halloween night. I had on a nun outfit. I had blood all over me.

"I was just grateful that I did [survive] because of the place that it hit in my head. I just feel like it was a miracle."

In December, Patrick Xavier Clark, 33, was charged with murder in connection to Takeoff's death, while Cameron Joshua, 22, was charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon. As of now, there have been no charges filed directly in connection with Leday's shooting.

Clark has since been released on a $1 million bond but is due to appear in court again in March.
