Sydney Leday, Woman Shot in Head Night of Takeoff’s Death Owes $200K in Medical Bills
When Migos group member Takeoff was killed in Houston last year, he wasn’t the only one shot. A surviving victim of the bullets that were discharged was hit in the head that fateful night. She has recently stated that due to the injuries she suffered, she has medical bills that exceed $200,000.
In a video shown on The Shade Room, the shooting victim, Sydney Leday, discusses what took place that night that Takeoff was killed. She expressed that she and her friends were invited to the after-hours party at the bowling alley. The invitation was given to them while they were already out and they decided to accept it. She states she is trying to cope with what happened to her that night.
She explains that she arrived at the venue after midnight.
“I would say, we got there about one o’clock in the morning.” Toward the end of the event, she said, “Everybody seemed like they knew each other.”
“We got outside, and it was time for everybody to go home. That’s when things changed.” She witnessed Quavo arguing with someone as other people came outside to see what was going on.

After some back and forth, she stated someone pulled out a weapon but did not hear the gunshots until she was at an escalator.
“I remember running away,” and then falling to the ground. “I felt the sting in my head,” as her friend picked her up. “I didn’t realize what actually happened to me, and fortunately, I had on a wig and a wig cap. So, I took the wig off and noticed that I had a lot of blood.” She was rushed to the hospital and ended up in a coma for days.
In the meantime, her bills have piled up and her family has set up a GoFundMe account to cover the costs to care for her.
