The man charged with the murder of Migos rapper, Takeoff, is making an unusual request.
Clark made the request, stating he wanted to hire a private investigator and doesn’t have the money to afford one.
He asked for $5,000 to hire an investigator to help with his defense.
According to court documents, he said that he’s unable to cover the costs to hire someone because his family already spent their money on an attorney who has agreed to work at a reduced rate.
Clark argued that he needs to hire someone to “properly investigate” and effectively prepare for the trial, and added there’s an investigator who has already agreed to work on his case for the reduced rate of $85 an hour.
The House police department confirmed Clark was arrested and charged with the murder of the 28-year-old Migos rapper last week.
Takeoff was fatally shot during the early hours of Nov. 1 when an argument broke out at a Houston bowling alley and escalated to violence.
In an appearance in court, Clark’s attorneys said that he wasn’t the person who shot Takeoff.
